Clement went 2-for-3 with a two-run double, two runs scored and a steal during the Blue Jays' 5-1 win over the Rays on Saturday.

Clement got the Blue Jays on the board early with a two-run double off Joe Boyle in the second inning before crossing home plate one batter later. Clement got on base for a second time in the fifth, and after successfully stealing second base, he was brought home on a Nathan Lukes single to give Toronto a 4-0 lead. Since Sept. 1, Clement has slashed .286/.321/.416 with two steals, 14 runs, 10 doubles and nine RBI across 82 plate appearances.

Garcia (oblique) was placed on the 15-day injured list Saturday, retroactive to Sept. 25.

Garcia is dealing with a left oblique strain, and he will now be forced to miss the team's final two contests of the 2025 campaign. Left-hander Sammy Peralta was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake to replace Garcia in the major-league bullpen Saturday.

Edman (ankle) will serve as the Dodgers' designated hitter and bat leadoff against the Mariners on Saturday.

Ankle soreness has kept Edman from playing in the Dodgers' last two games, but a few days of rest now have the 30-year-old ready to return to the starting nine. In 10 games since returning from the injured list, he's gone 9-for-38 (.237) with a homer, five RBI and six runs scored.

Moncada is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's matchup with Houston.

Moncada will take a seat for the second day in a row as he's in the midst of a 2-for-21 stretch at the plate. Luis Rengifo will draw the start at third base and bat leadoff against the Astros.

Schanuel is not in the starting lineup Saturday versus the Astros.

Schanuel will take a seat after going 0-for-4 in the series opener against Houston. Oswald Peraza will draw the start at first base and bat seventh in Schanuel's place.

Rortvedt isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Seattle.

Rortvedt will head to the bench Saturday after going 0-for-2 with a pair of strikeouts in Friday's series opener. Dalton Rushing will start behind the plate instead and bat ninth.

Ohtani isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Mariners.

Ohtani went 0-for-3 during Friday's victory but still managed to extend his on-base streak to 30 games by drawing a walk. The Dodgers will give him an extra day to rest Saturday in preparation for the postseason, which will allow Tommy Edman to work as the DH while Miguel Rojas starts at second base.

Vest earned the save in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Red Sox, striking out one in a perfect ninth inning.

Vest's turned in three straight scoreless innings after giving up five earned runs over 1.2 frames in the two outings prior. The 30-year-old right-hander has converted 23 of 30 save chances overall this season while posting a 3.01 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 75:22 K:BB across 68.2 innings.

Meyers (calf) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Angels, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Meyers was a late scratch from Friday's lineup due to right calf soreness, and he'll now remain on the bench to begin Saturday's contest. Taylor Trammell, Zach Cole and Jesus Sanchez will form Houston's outfield trio while Meyers rests.

Early (1-2) took the loss Saturday against the Tigers, allowing two runs on four hits and a walk across five innings. He struck out seven.

Early held the Tigers scoreless through four innings before ultimately allowing two runs on Jahmai Jones' two-out single with the bases loaded, which proved to be enough to stick the rookie with the loss in a 2-1 Red Sox defeat. While Early's dropped back-to-back starts to finish the season, the left-hander's impressed overall in his first four big-league outings. He'll finish the year with a 2.33 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 29:4 K:BB across 19.1 innings.
