Caballero is not in the Yankees' starting lineup against the Athletics on Saturday.

Caballero went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Friday's series opener, but he'll get a breather for Saturday night's contest. Anthony Volpe will start at shortstop and bat ninth.

Muncy is not in the Dodgers' starting lineup against the Phillies on Saturday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

With the Phillies sending southpaw Jesus Luzardo to the mound, the lefty-hitting Muncy will open Saturday's game on the bench while Santiago Espinal starts at third base and bats ninth. Since May 1, Muncy has gone 14-for-69 (.203) with four home runs, nine RBI and 14 runs scored.

Neto was removed from Saturday's game against the Rays after colliding with Ian Seymour, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Neto scored on a wild pitch during the top of the seventh inning, though he did so while colliding with pitcher Ian Seymour at the plate. Neto's head seemed to take the brunt of the impact, and he remained on the ground for a while before walking off the field with assistance. The Angels will likely put him through concussion protocol, and if he needs to spend time on the injured list, Oswald Peraza and Donovan Walton should be in the mix at shortstop.

McNeil is not in the Athletics' starting lineup against the Yankees on Saturday.

The Yankees are sending southpaw Ryan Weathers to the mound, so the lefty-hitting McNeil -- who has gone 1-for-19 over his last six games -- will open Saturday's contest on the bench. Alika Williams will start at second base and bat ninth.

Cortes is not in the Athletics' starting lineup against the Yankees on Saturday.

Cortes is out of the A's lineup for a second consecutive game, though the Yankees are sending southpaw Ryan Weathers to the mound for Saturday's contest. Colby Thomas will draw the start in right field and bat out of the leadoff spot.

Kelly isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Cardinals.

Kelly went 0-for-4 during Chicago's loss in Friday's series opener and will now stay put in the dugout to begin Saturday's contest. Miguel Amaya will replace him behind home plate and bat eighth.

Martinez was removed from Saturday's game against the Red Sox with left foot inflammation, Paul Hoynes of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

It's unknown whether Martinez's foot will cause him to miss time beyond Saturday, but the Guardians will likely send him in for medical testing and should provide more information soon. Stuart Fairchild entered the game as Martinez's replacement and would be the favorite to pick up starts in the outfield during his possible absence.

Shewmake was removed from Saturday's game against the Brewers with right groin soreness.

Shewmake went 0-for-2 with a strikeout before leaving the game in the fifth inning. The Astros may have more information regarding the 28-year-old's status after the game. Nick Allen could be in line for reps at the keystone if Shewmake ends up needing to miss time.

The Giants recalled Brennan from Triple-A Sacramento on Saturday.

After being sent to Triple-A on Friday, Brennan will turn right back around and rejoin the active roster as an injury replacement for Harrison Bader (foot). Brennan has gone just 2-for-23 at the plate in the majors this season and will likely work primarily as an outfield depth piece.

The Giants placed Bader on the 10-day injured list Saturday with plantar fasciitis.

Bader missed a few weeks earlier in the season due to a hamstring strain, and he's now due for at least another 10 days on the injured list after being diagnosed with plantar fasciitis. Drew Gilbert is likely to receive the bulk of starts in center field while Bader is on the shelf, and Will Brennan will rejoin the big club to provide outfield depth.
