The Giants placed Rodriguez on the 10-day injured list Saturday due to right elbow neuritis, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

The injury may have cropped up during Friday's game against the Padres, when he entered the game in the ninth inning as a pinch hitter for Bryce Eldridge. Rodriguez will be sidelined until at least mid-August, and in a corresponding move, the Giants recalled Nate Furman from Triple-A Sacramento.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Saturday that Smith (neck) will need at least 3-to-4 weeks to ramp back up, including a rehab assignment, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Smith has been on the Dodgers' injured list since mid-June due to neck inflammation, but he progressed enough in his recovery to resume hitting and throwing in early July. The timeline provided by Roberts means the earliest that Smith will return is late August, and the team expects the veteran catcher to be back before the end of the season. For now, Dalton Rushing will continue to serve as the Dodgers' primary catcher while Eliezer Alfonzo provides depth behind home plate.

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

Rodriguez has notched a hit in all four of his games since returning from the injured list Monday, but he'll retreat to the bench to begin Saturday's contest. Henry Davis will handle catching duties and bat ninth.

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

Stephenson has tallied at least one base hit in each of his last four games, but the Reds will keep him in the dugout to begin Saturday's contest while Jose Trevino starts at catcher, batting seventh.

The Pirates reinstated Flores (concussion) from the injured list Saturday, Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

After suffering a concussion last weekend, Flores is now fully recovered and will claim the roster spot vacated by Ryan O'Hearn (quad), who landed on the 10-day injured list Saturday. Flores has gone 4-for-15 with a homer, two RBI and two runs scored in the majors this year and will provide depth at catcher and first base.

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.

Rice isn't in the Yankees' starting lineup versus the Cubs on Saturday.

According to Zach Sweet of MLB.com, it's just a planned day off for Rice, as manager Aaron Boone said he's been looking for a good time to give the star slugger a rest. Amed Rosario is getting a turn at DH on Saturday with Rice out of the lineup.

Kurtz isn't in the Athletics' starting lineup Saturday versus Detroit.

Kurtz was hit in the forearm by a pitch Wednesday and underwent an MRI, but he was back in the lineup both Thursday and Friday. At this point, it's unclear if his exit from the starting nine Saturday is related to that issue or if he's simply getting a day off. It's worth noting that the star first baseman slumped for most of July, slashing a meager .028/.125/.111 with just one home run and 20 strikeouts over his final 12 games of the month. Jonah Heim is starting at first base in Kurtz's stead Saturday.

Contreras, who was hit in the head by a pitch and had to exit Friday's game, isn't in Boston's starting lineup versus the Dodgers on Saturday, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.

Contreras initially stayed in the game to run the bases following Friday's plunking, but he was removed on defense in the following frame. He was placed in concussion protocol due to the hit-by-pitch and was reportedly "doing well," per Healey, but he's nonetheless not starting Saturday. In his place, Nick Sogard is in the lineup at first base.

Garcia (knee) will start at first base and bat second Saturday against Atlanta.

Garcia was forced to make an early exit from Friday's game due to right knee soreness, but the injury won't cause him to miss any starts. The 26-year-old is enjoying a career season and hasn't slowed down in the second half, slashing .280/.294/.600 with three homers, eight RBI and three runs scored in 13 games since the break.

Burger isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Houston.

Burger has notched a base hit in four of his last five games but will grab a seat on the bench to begin Saturday's game. Joc Pederson will pick up a start at first base as a result, moving Brandon Nimmo into the DH spot and opening up right field for Alejandro Osuna.

The Pirates placed O'Hearn on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a left quad strain, Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

O'Hearn had to be helped off the field Friday after tweaking his quad while running to first base, and he's expected to remain on the shelf for roughly 6-to-8 weeks after being diagnosed with a strain. His initial timeline leaves room for him to return during the final weeks of the regular season, but the Pirates could elect to keep him out for the rest of the year depending on where they sit in the race for a postseason berth when he gets close to being fully healthy. Until then, Jacob Gonzalez figures to see more time at first base, and Rafael Flores (concussion) will come off the IL to fill the open roster spot.

Arraez was scratched from Saturday's lineup against the Padres due to cramps, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Arraez experienced the symptoms during pregame warmups and was removed from the Giants' lineup for "precautionary reasons." Osleivis Basabe will now start at second base and bat ninth while Bryce Eldridge hits out of the leadoff spot.

The Giants selected Furman's contract from Triple-A Sacramento on Saturday, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

The move corresponds with the Giants placing Jesus Rodriguez (elbow) on the 10-day injured list. Furman has spent the entire 2026 season in Triple-A, where he is slashing .284/.370/.405 with 18 steals (in 23 chances), seven home runs, 42 RBI and 22 doubles across 434 plate appearances. His first appearance in a Giants' uniform will officially mark his major-league debut.

Arraez (cramps) will start at second base and bat leadoff Saturday against the Padres.

Arraez was removed early from Friday's game as a precaution due to cramping, but the issue appears to have resolved itself ahead of Saturday's tilt. The 29-year-old has been seeing the ball extremely well as of late, going 14-for-34 (.412) with six RBI and four runs in his last eight games.

Chisholm is starting at second base and batting fifth Saturday against the Cubs.

Chisholm exited Thursday's contest against the White Sox after cramping up, and he was held out of Friday's series opener against the Cubs. However, manager Aaron Boone stated ahead of Friday's contest that Chisholm was "fully active," so he was likely just held out because Chicago sent a lefty starter to the mound. All seems to be well with Chisholm given his return to the lineup Saturday.

Young went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Twins.

Young ended up hitting .258 (23-for-89) with five homers and nine RBI over 24 games in July. He's now hit atop the order in seven straight games as he settles in with consistency at the plate. For the season, the second baseman is batting .261 with a .733 OPS, 14 homers, 50 RBI, 52 runs scored, 14 doubles, three triples and three stolen bases over 111 contests.

Arraez was removed from Friday's game against the Padres due to cramps, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Manager Tony Vitello said after the game that Arraez began to cramp up while playing in the San Diego heat, so he was pulled from the game as a precaution. If the 29-year-old infielder needs another day off to recover, Christian Koss, Jesus Rodriguez and Osleivis Basabe would be in the running to fill in at second base.

Vivas was scratched from the lineup for Saturday's game against Atlanta.

With left-hander Martin Perez now set to toe the slab for Atlanta instead of Reynaldo Lopez (knee), the Nationals will exchange the lefty-hitting Vivas for the right-handed bat of Brady House.

Chapman (abdomen) will not be activated during San Francisco's weekend series against the Padres, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

The Giants were optimistic that Chapman would return sometime this weekend, but the 33-year-old said Saturday that he is still feeling discomfort while running. He's set to be reevaluated Saturday, so an updated timeline for his return could be available in the near future. In the meantime, Christian Koss will continue to serve as San Francisco's primary third baseman.

The Marlins optioned Pauley to Triple-A Jacksonville on Saturday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Pauley appeared in four games after being recalled July 19, during which he went 3-for-9 with an RBI and two strikeouts. He'll now return to the minor leagues in order to make room on the active roster for Owen Caissie (calf), who returned from the injured list Saturday. With a .529 OPS through 106 MLB plate appearances this year, Pauley is unlikely to be a significant contributor for the Marlins if he makes it back to the big leagues.

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.

Rosario went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in a 2-0 win over the Cubs on Friday.

Rosario plated the first run in the low-scoring affair with a 450-foot solo shot to center field in the fourth inning. The utility man went deep on both the first and the last day of July but batted just .148 with no long balls and no RBI while striking out at a horrid 53.6 percent rate over 15 games in between. Rosario has started at third base four of the past five times New York has faced a left-handed starter and appears to be holding down the short side of a platoon at the hot corner with Ryan McMahon.

Guzman went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run during Friday's 6-2 loss to the Brewers.

It was a quiet day for the Angels offense overall, with the only scoring coming via Guzman's two-run shot during the fifth inning. It's the fifth homer of the season for the 22-year-old, who has taken over as the primary third baseman with six starts in the past seven games. He's yet to take advantage of the regular playing time and has a .519 OPS in 10 contests since the All-Star break.

Betts isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Red Sox, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Betts has hits in six of his last seven games, but the Dodgers will move him to the bench for the start of Saturday's contest. While he sits, Miguel Rojas will start at shortstop and bat eighth.

Baez went 3-for-5 with three RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 13-1 win over the Athletics.

The 33-year-old didn't deliver any extra-base hits but went 2-for-4 with runners in scoring position to contribute to the blowout victory. Baez has been majorly productive since returning from a three-month absence due to an ankle sprain earlier this week, as he's gone 8-for-14 with a double, five RBI and five runs scored in three games.

Made went 5-for-5 with two home runs and seven RBI in a game with Double-A Biloxi on Friday.

Made tallied multiple hits in five of 10 games prior to Friday's contest, and he punctuated that run with the best showing of them all. The 19-year-old is considered the top prospect in many circles, and he nows owns 12 home runs, 74 RBI, 29 steals, a 41:58 BB:K and an .823 OPS in 89 games with Biloxi this season.

Turner went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Friday's 6-4 loss to the Orioles.

The shortstop took Brandon Young deep in the third inning to break a 2-2 tie, but the Phillies' bullpen wasn't up to the task late. Turner has gone yard in back-to-back games, giving him 16 homers on the season, and through 13 contests since the All-Star break he's delivered a .333/.379/.741 slash line with six home runs, one steal, 10 RBI and 13 runs.

Perdomo went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored in Friday's 4-1 win over the Guardians.

The Diamondbacks rallied for all four runs in the eighth inning to erase Cleveland's lead, and it was Perdomo who started it. His bases-loaded single tied the game and was the first of three consecutive run-producing singles. Perdomo's struggled all season and July was no different; he finished the month with a .194 average and .657 OPS over 24 games.

McGonigle went 1-for-3 with two walks, a home run, an additional run scored and two total RBI in Friday's 13-1 win over the Athletics.

McGonigle batted leadoff and helped pace Detroit's offensive outburst in Sacramento. The rookie infielder is now up to 10 home runs on the season, and he finished July slashing .293/.374/.446, which is in line with his overall numbers. McGonigle has quickly established himself as a strong fantasy contributor, and he's shown no signs of slowing down as the year has rolled along.

Lile was scratched from the lineup for Saturday's game against Atlanta.

Reynaldo Lopez was scratched from his start Saturday due to knee inflammation, so the Nationals will take Lile out of the starting nine to account for the fact that left-hander Martin Lopez will now be on the mound for Atlanta. Dylan Crews, Jacob Young and James Wood will now start across the outfield while Andres Chaparro serves as the DH.

The Brewers reinstated Lockridge (knee) from the injured list Saturday.

Lockridge has been on the shelf since May after suffering a deep laceration and cartilage damage in his right knee, but he was cleared to begin a rehab assignment July 24 and has since gone 4-for-17 with a homer, two RBI and three runs scored in five Triple-A games. Now fully recovered, he'll serve as Milwaukee's reserve outfielder and will likely be a candidate to return to Triple-A once Sal Frelick (shoulder) is healthy.

Tucker isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Boston, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Tucker will get a day off to reset after going just 5-for-28 (.179) at the plate while starting each of the Dodgers' last nine games. Enrique Hernandez, Andy Pages and Teoscar Hernandez will form the Dodgers' outfield trio while Tucker is on the bench.

Myers isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Pittsburgh.

Myers has gone 8-for-21 while compiling a six-game hitting streak, but the Reds will give him a chance to rest Saturday. JJ Bleday, TJ Friedl and Noelvi Marte will start across the outfield while Myers is on the bench.

Dubon isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Nationals.

Dubon will get a chance to clear his head Saturday after posting just a .513 OPS in 15 games since the All-Star break. His absence will allow Mike Yastrzemski to start in left field while Dominic Smith serves as Atlanta's designated hitter.

The Marlins reinstated Caissie (calf) from the injured list Saturday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Caissie played three games after beginning a rehab assignment at Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday, going 3-for-7 with two homers and an additional RBI and run scored. He'll now return to the active roster for the first time since July 9, but he'll miss out on the starting nine Saturday with left-hander Zac Thornton toeing the slab for the Mets. Graham Pauley was optioned to Jacksonville in a corresponding move.

Rasmussen (10-5) earned the win Saturday against the White Sox, allowing no runs on four hits and one walk in six innings. He struck out 10.

Rasmussen had the White Sox bats out of sorts Saturday, generating an impressive 18 whiffs en route to registering his second-most punchouts of 2026. The right-hander coughed up 11 runs over his first two outings of July but has since steadied the ship, giving up just a pair of runs across his last three appearances (18 innings) while producing a 14:3 K:BB during that span. Rasmussen will bring a stellar 2.91 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 122:20 K:BB over 117.1 frames into his next scheduled start at pitcher friendly T-Mobile Park in Seattle.

Harrison (forearm) is expected to make his next start for the Brewers during their upcoming home series against the Pirates, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Harrison looked good in his lone rehab appearance with High-A Wisconsin on Thursday, when he allowed one hit and three walks while striking out five batters across 5.2 scoreless innings. He's in line to return during Milwaukee's home series next week, and that will likely result in Robert Gasser being sent down to the minors, though Brandon Sproat and Shane Drohan are also candidates to be optioned.

Schultz (3-8) took the loss Saturday against the Rays, allowing one run on three hits and no walks in five relief innings. He struck out four.

The White Sox chose to use Schultz behind an opener for the first time this year, and the move helped yield one of the hurler's best outings of the season. It was just the fourth time in 14 appearances that he surrendered one run or zero, so it wouldn't be surprising if Chicago maintained a similar approach for the left-hander's next scheduled showing against the division-rival Guardians. Through 65.0 innings, Schultz has a 5.82 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and a concerning 58:31 K:BB.

Ritchie was scratched from his scheduled start with Triple-A Gwinnett and is expected to start for Atlanta against Washington on Sunday, Grant McAuley of the Marietta Daily Journal reports.

Reynaldo Lopez was scratched from Saturday's start with Atlanta due to left knee inflammation, prompting the team to move Martin Perez up a day from Sunday's scheduled outing. Ritchie has appeared in 13 major-league games (seven starts) this season and has a 4.50 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 49:33 K:BB over 54 innings.

The Athletics optioned Morales to Triple-A Las Vegas on Saturday.

Morales had most recently been called up from Las Vegas on July 24 and was tagged for eight runs (seven earned) over two innings against Detroit on Friday. He's struggled mightily during his time with the big-league club this season, posting a 14.06 ERA and 2.56 WHIP with more walks (14) than strikeouts (13) over 16 frames spanning five appearances (two starts). With Morales' demotion to the minors, Ben Bowden was selected from Las Vegas to take a spot in the A's bullpen.

The Angels optioned Johnson to the minors following his start Friday versus Milwaukee, Michael Huntley of MLB.com reports reports.

Johnson took the loss Friday, allowing five runs over 4.1 innings. He also struggled in his previous start, when he gave up a season-worst eight runs over 3.1 frames in a loss to the Giants. To fill Johnson's spot on the 26-man roster, the Angels summoned Brett Kerry from Triple-A Salt Lake.

The Athletics designated Thomas for assignment Saturday.

The move makes room on the 40-man roster for Ben Bowden, who was recalled by the A's on Saturday. Thomas was acquired by the Athletics on Thursday, two days after being waived by Atlanta. He's spent the majority of the season in Triple-A, where he has a 1.98 ERA and 0.92 WHIP over 27.1 innings.

Lopez was scratched from his scheduled start Saturday against Washington due to left knee inflammation.

The severity of Lopez's injury is unclear, but it's enough of an issue to prevent him from taking the mound Saturday. Martin Perez was originally due to start Sunday's series finale but will instead move up a day and start in Lopez's place.

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

Cruz is back for his third stint with the big club so far this season. During his previous two call-ups, the right hander made three total appearances covering 4.1 innings and pitched well, allowing no runs on one hit and a 6:0 K:BB. Cruz will take the roster and bullpen spots previously occupied by Camilo Doval, who was traded to Pittsburgh on Saturday.

The Brewers recalled Stallings from Triple-A Nashville on Saturday.

Stallings will fill the open spot in Milwaukee's bullpen that was created when the team traded Craig Yoho to Cleveland before Saturday's game. Stallings has fired five shutout innings across his first three appearances in the majors, but he isn't expected to receive many high-leverage opportunities with the Brewers.

The Athletics selected Bowden's contract from Triple-A Las Vegas on Saturday.

Bowden has logged 32 outings -- all in relief -- for Las Vegas, posting a 5.40 ERA and 1.41 WHIP with a 45:15 K:BB over 36.2 innings. He made 11 relief appearances for the big club last season, registering a 4.22 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 7:5 K:BB across 10.2 frames. Bowden will likely take on a low-leverage role in the Athletics' bullpen in place of Luis Morales, who was optioned to Las Vegas in a corresponding move.

Holmes (fibula) is tentatively scheduled to make a rehab start at High-A Brooklyn on Sunday, Chelsea Janes of SNY.tv reports.

Although the schedule says Holmes will pitch at Brooklyn on Sunday, he may not even be in the organization at that point, as Holmes has said himself that he expects to be traded ahead of Monday's deadline. There's always a chance that the Mets hold onto him for the final months of the season, but fantasy managers may have to wait for the right-hander to switch teams before getting a clear picture of his return timeline.

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.

Pederson went 1-for-1 with two walks and a solo home run in Friday's 11-2 loss to the Astros.

Pederson's homer in the sixth inning was his 20th of the season and marked his return to the 20-homer club. This is the seventh time in 12 seasons he's reached that threshold and came after the low-point of his career in 2025, when he hit just nine home runs with a career-low .613 OPS.

Ohtani went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run, a double and a second run scored in Friday's 9-4 loss to the Red Sox.

Ohtani was held out of the lineup Thursday due to his ongoing bout of left knee inflammation, while continues to keep him from pitching. He's made up for it with plenty of success at the plate lately -- he's 10-for-25 (.400) with two homers, five doubles and seven RBI over his last six games as a hitter. For the season, the superstar is batting .291 with a .939 OPS, 24 homers, 67 RBI, 70 runs scored, 22 doubles, two triples and six stolen bases over 104 contests. Ohtani should continue to be reliable in terms of power and rate stats as long as he can play through the knee issue, but don't expect him to add much in terms of speed while he's less than 100 percent healthy.

Benintendi went 2-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run during the White Sox's 6-1 win over the Rays on Friday.

Benintendi was responsible for one of the White Sox's four home runs off Rays right-hander Nick Martinez. It was the 11th long ball of the season for Benintendi -- fourth most on the White Sox -- and first since June 26 against the Royals. The veteran outfielder has a .738 OPS with one steal and 56 RBI across 333 plate appearances this season.

Ohtani (knee) will serve as the designated hitter and bat leadoff Friday against the Red Sox.

Ohtani sat out Thursday's contest to give his inflamed left knee a chance to heal, but he now seems to be feeling well enough to play in Friday's series opener. The two-way star hasn't appeared on the mound since July 3 because of his knee but hasn't been impacted much as a hitter, slashing .265/.326/.518 with five homers, 15 RBI and eight runs scored across 92 plate appearances in July.

Schwarber (illness) is in the lineup for Friday's matchup against the Orioles.

After missing the final two games of the series against Miami due to a gastrointestinal issue, Schwarber is back for the Phillies for Friday's series opener against Baltimore. The 33-year-old will act as the designated hitter and bat second for Philadelphia.
