Narvaez isn't starting Saturday versus Atlanta.

It's a routine day off for Narvaez, who started each of Boston's previous two games. Connor Wong (ankle) remains sidelined, so Mickey Gasper is starting behind the plate for the Red Sox on Saturday.

Stephenson isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Cleveland.

Stephenson will pick out a seat on the bench Saturday after going 0-for-3 with a sacrifice fly during Cincinnati's win in Friday's contest. Jose Trevino will start behind the dish and bat eighth while Stephenson rests.

Keaschall isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Milwaukee.

Keaschall will get a chance to rest his legs Saturday after beginning May with a .244/.404/.341 slash line while starting all 13 games this month. While Keaschall sits, Tristan Gray will get the nod at second base and bat eighth.

Larnach (back) will start in left field and bat fourth Saturday against the Brewers.

Upper-back tightness prevented Larnach from starting Friday's contest, but he'll return to the starting nine following a day of recovery. In eight games since the beginning of May, the 29-year-old outfielder has gone 8-for-30 (.267) with three RBI, two runs scored and a steal.

Buxton (hip) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Brewers.

Buxton will sit on the bench for a third consecutive game after being scratched from Thursday's lineup with a hip injury. The Twins haven't hinted toward Buxton spending time on the injured list, though that may become an option if he doesn't return to the starting nine soon. While the veteran takes another day to heal, James Outman will pick up a start in center field and bat ninth.

Bailey isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Reds.

Since Bailey made his team debut Sunday, he has alternated starts with Austin Hedges behind the plate. Saturday will mark the latter's turn to handle catching duties.

Moreno isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Rockies.

Moreno will get a chance to catch his breath after going 2-for-5 with three RBI and a run scored during a win in Friday's series opener. James McCann will handle catching duties and bat eighth.

House isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Baltimore, Mark Zuckerman of NatsJournal.com reports.

House will take a day to reset Saturday after going 0-for-11 with four strikeouts over his last three games. Jose Tena will start at third base with House out, and Jorbit Vivas will work as the Nats' designated hitter.

Morel isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Rays.

Morel will step out of the starting nine Saturday after going 0-for-4 during the first game of the series Friday. His absence will open a spot in the lineup for Javier Sanoja to bat seventh while starting at third base.

The Yankees recalled Rodriguez from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday.

The 22-year-old righty will return to the Yankees as the roster replacement for Max Fried, who landed on the injured list with a bone bruise in his left elbow. Rodriguez struggled during his first stretch in the big leagues, allowing five earned runs on 10 hits and eight walks while striking out five batters in 8.2 innings over two starts. He'll likely take Fried's place in the rotation until Gerrit Cole (elbow) is cleared to return, lining Rodriguez up to start against the Blue Jays on Tuesday.
