Gilbert is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against Colorado, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Gilbert will take a seat for a second consecutive game, dodging a matchup against southpaw Kyle Freeland on Saturday. Jerar Encarnacion will draw the start in right field.

The Orioles recalled Ragsdale from the Florida Complex League on Saturday.

After being claimed off waivers from Atlanta on Thursday, Ragsdale will now rejoin the Orioles to give the big club an extra reliever for the final two games of the regular season. The 27-year-old has only one MLB appearance under his belt, during which he coughed up eight earned runs over three innings.

Horton (ribs) will throw a bullpen session Sunday, Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com reports.

Horton left his last appearance with back tightness, and an MRI revealed areas of concern in his rib area. Still, the Cubs plan on starting Horton in the NL Wild Card series against San Diego next week, likely in Game 1. Horton's scheduled bullpen session indicates the 24-year-old remains on schedule.

The Orioles optioned Povich to the Florida Complex League on Saturday.

Povich made his final start of the season Thursday and will finish his second MLB season with a 5.21 ERA and 1.50 WHIP across 112.1 innings spanning 22 appearances. He'll now head to the Orioles' spring training facility to finish up his regular-season duties, and the team will bring up Carson Ragsdale to provide extra bullpen depth.

Ramirez is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Mets.

Ramirez will get the afternoon off Saturday after making 14 consecutive starts. He went 15-for-57 (.263) with a pair of home runs and four stolen bases during that stretch. Liam Hicks will draw the start behind the plate while Troy Johnston slots in at DH.

Lowe isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Toronto, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

Lowe will retreat to the bench Saturday after going 1-for-3 with a walk during a loss in Friday's series opener. While he rests, Christopher Morel, Chandler Simpson and Jake Mangum will start across Tampa Bay's outfield.

Vientos is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against Miami.

Vientos will be on the bench for a second straight game as he works through a 4-for-34 (.118) slump across his last 11 games. Starling Marte will slot in at DH on Saturday.

Mullins is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Marlins.

Mullins has been used in a strong-side platoon role in center field, but he's starting to lose playing time. Mullins has now been held out of the starting nine for two of the Mets' last three games against right-handers, and he's started just one of the team's last five contests. Tyrone Taylor will patrol center field Friday. Mullins is slashing .111/.222/.167 in his last 21 games.

Baty (side) is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against Miami.

Baty exited Friday's contest with a side injury, and he'll get the afternoon off Saturday to recover. Ronny Mauricio will draw the start at third base and bat eighth.

Pages isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Cubs.

Pages will sit out Saturday's contest after going 0-for-4 with a pair of strikeouts in Friday's series opener. His absence will give Jimmy Crooks another start behind the plate catching for Michael McGreevy.
