  • Guardians' Patrick Bailey: Sitting Saturday

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

    After going 0-for-10 with a walk and three strikeouts across his last four games, Bailey will move to the bench for a second straight game while Austin Hedges handles catching duties.

  • Orioles' Yaramil Hiraldo: Recalled to majors

    The Orioles recalled Hiraldo from Triple-A Norfolk on Saturday.

    The Orioles have an open spot on their pitching staff after sending Dean Kremer to Minnesota on Friday, so they'll bring up Hiraldo to add extra bullpen depth until a fifth starter is needed. Hiraldo gave up four earned runs in 1.2 innings across three appearances with the Orioles back in March before landing on the IL with a shoulder injury. He's given up just one run in 8.1 Triple-A innings since that stint in the big leagues.

  • Mariners' Stuart Fairchild: Up from Tacoma

    The Mariners selected Fairchild's contract from Triple-A Tacoma on Saturday.

    Fairchild will join the active roster as a replacement for Luke Raley, who landed on the injured list Saturday with an elbow injury. Fairchild has gone just 3-for-19 with an RBI, three runs and two steals in the majors this season, but he's slashed .262/.415/.643 across 53 plate appearances since joining Tacoma on July 10.

  • Steward Berroa CF | PHI

    Phillies' Steward Berroa: Sticking in organization

    Berroa cleared waivers Saturday and was sent outright to Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

    Berroa lost his spot on the Phillies' 40-man roster last weekend, but he'll stay put at Lehigh Valley after passing through waivers. The 27-year-old owns a .762 OPS through 262 plate appearances in the minors this season.

  • Luke Raley RF | SEA

    Mariners' Luke Raley: Placed on injured list

    The Mariners placed Raley (elbow) on the 10-day injured list Saturday, Shannon Drayer of SeattleSports.com reports.

    Raley has reportedly been battling soreness in his elbow for a while and missed Friday's game because of it, so the Mariners will now place him on the shelf. The severity of his injury is unknown, but he'll likely undergo imaging within the next several days to help determine exactly what he's dealing with and when he might be able to return. In the meantime, Victor Robles is a likely candidate to take over as Seattle's primary right fielder, and Stuart Fairchild will come up from Triple-A to fill the open roster spot.

  • Camilo Doval RP | PIT

    Pirates' Camilo Doval: Dealt to Pirates

    The Yankees traded Doval to the Pirates on Saturday in exchange for minor-leaguers Omar Alfonzo and Luis Cruz, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

    Doval owns a 4.54 ERA and 1.41 WHIP through 39.2 innings this season and had been losing out on high-leverage work with the Yankees, recording just one hold and no saves in his last 23 appearances. He might not immediately be in the mix for saves upon joining the Pirates, but the 29-year-old's experience as a closer could allow him to climb up the leverage ladder quickly if his performance improves.

  • Jorge Polanco DH | NYM

    Mets' Jorge Polanco: Taking seat Saturday

    Polanco isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Miami, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

    Polanco will begin Saturday's contest in the dugout after failing to record a hit in 23 at-bats across his last seven games. Bo Bichette will serve as the Mets' designated hitter, opening up third base for Brett Baty.

  • Luis Robert CF | NYM

    Mets' Luis Robert: Getting rest Saturday

    Robert isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Marlins, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

    Robert will take a day to reset after going just 4-for-33 at the plate in 10 games since returning from the injured list. Tyrone Taylor, A.J. Ewing and Carson Benge will start across the outfield while Robert sits.

  • Mets' Francisco Alvarez: Resting Saturday

    Alvarez isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Miami, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

    Alvarez will move to the bench after going 2-for-19 with six strikeouts in New York's last five games. Luis Torrens will fill in at catcher and bat ninth.

  • Marlins' Leo Jimenez: Back in action Saturday

    Jimenez (illness) will start at third base and bat fifth Saturday against the Mets.

    Jimenez has been out since Wednesday due to a stomach illness, but he now seems to be feeling better and will pick up a start at the hot corner against southpaw Zac Thornton.
