Fermin was struck in the catcher's mask by a warmup pitch from Yuki Matsui during Saturday's game against Baltimore and subsequently departed the contest, Byron Kerr of MLB.com reports.

Matsui's pitch before the beginning of bottom of the sixth inning bounced in front of the plate and appeared to hit Fermin near the back of his head. He was examined by the Padres' trainer, and the decision was made to remove him from the contest. Rodolfo Duran entered in Fermin's stead and would be in line to take over as San Diego's primary catcher if Fermin needs to sit out for any period of time.

Fortes is not in the lineup for Saturday's matchup against the Angels, reports Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times.

Despite picking up five hits and scoring five runs in his past two starts, including going 4-for-4 on Wednesday against Boston, the Rays will elect to sit Fortes on Saturday. Hunter Feduccia will start at catcher in place of Fortes and bat eighth in the lineup.

Kelly is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against San Francisco.

Kelly will ride the bench for the third time in the past five games. The 31-year-old has slugged .277/.355/.367 with three homers in 186 plate appearances this season. Miguel Amaya will take over the catching duties and bat eighth on Saturday.

Susac isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Cubs, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Susac will get a breather Saturday after going 0-for-3 with a strikeout during Friday's loss. Eric Haase will take over as the Giants' backstop and bat ninth.

Diaz (oblique) could rejoin the Astros during the team's series versus Detroit that begins Monday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Diaz has been sidelined since early May due to a left oblique strain. He began a minor-league rehab assignment June 9 and has gone 2-for-11 with a walk through three games with Triple-A Sugar Land. Diaz figures to reclaim his role as Houston's No. 1 catcher upon his return.

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

Ruiz went 0-for-3 during Friday's loss, snapping a five-game hitting streak, and will begin Saturday's contest on the bench while Drew Millas catches for starter Cade Cavalli.

Schanuel (calf) is starting at first base and batting fifth Saturday versus Tampa Bay, Jack Janes of TheSportingTribune.com reports.

Schanuel was removed from Tuesday's contest versus Houston with left calf tightness and missed the Angels' subsequent two games. However, he's feeling well enough to return to action as both a batter and fielder Saturday. As a result, Trey Mancini, who started at first base in each of the Angels' previous two games, is out of the lineup.

Mountcastle (foot) did some running Saturday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Mountcastle has been out of action since April 11 due to a fractured left foot. He is currently on the 60-day IL, and though he's now eligible to return, the 29-year-old isn't expected to be activated until late June or early July. Given that he's now back to running, it sounds like Mountcastle is progressing well toward that timeline.

Manzardo isn't in the Guardians' starting lineup Saturday versus the Tigers.

Manzardo will begin on the bench for the second time in Cleveland's past three games -- both against southpaw starters. He regularly sits against lefty hurlers, though his .885 OPS versus southpaws is significantly higher than his .674 OPS against righties. Regardless, Rhys Hoskins is starting at first base and Jose Ramirez is getting a turn at DH on Saturday against Detroit ace Tarik Skubal.

Guerrero won't play in Saturday's game against the Yankees due to back tightness, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports.

Manager John Schneider said Saturday that Guerrero began having problems with his back Friday, so the Jays will sit him down as a precaution. Schneider added that the slugging first baseman is already beginning to feel better, so an extended absence doesn't seem likely. Charles McAdoo will get the nod at first base and bat eighth while Guerrero rests.

The Padres selected Solak's contract from Triple-A El Paso on Saturday.

Solak failed to break camp with the Padres but has been impressive at Triple-A, slashing .333/.412/.512 with nine homers, 40 RBI and 51 runs scored across 241 plate appearances. He'll now join the major-league roster following Miguel Andujar's (hamstring) move to the IL and could make an occasional start for San Diego, thanks to his defensive versatility.

Guerrero isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Yankees.

Guerrero will take a rare day off Saturday after going 1-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored during Friday's series opener. Charles McAdoo will take over as Toronto's first baseman as a result and bat eighth.

Texas recalled Freeman from Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday.

Freeman previously had a short stint with the Rangers in early June and got into one game, going 1-for-2 with a strikeout against St. Louis on June 3. He's now back with the big club to take the 26-man roster spot vacated by Evan Carter, who landed on the IL with an oblique strain in a corresponding move. Freeman probably won't see everyday at-bats, but he's starting at second base Saturday and gives the Rangers a versatile option who can play multiple positions in both the infield and outfield.

The Tigers recalled Lee from Triple-A Toledo on Saturday.

With Jack Flaherty (ankle) landing on the injured list Saturday, Lee will return to Detroit to provide the big club with an extra bat and start at third base against lefty Joey Cantillo and the Guardians. Lee owns just a .578 OPS across 87 plate appearances with the Tigers but has gone 9-for-30 in Triple-A since his demotion.

Foscue entered Friday's game in the fifth inning after Evan Carter (oblique) was removed and went 0-for-2 in a 10-1 loss to Boston.

Foscue finished the game at second base while Nicky Lopez moved to the outfield. This was the first game action over the last four contests for Foscue, who has been limited to starting against left-handers only. With Josh Smith (glute/wrist/illness) six games and 26 plate appearances into a rehab assignment, Foscue's window in the majors may be closing soon. He's slashing .246/.306/.446 with three home runs, four doubles, nine RBI and eight runs scored over 72 plate appearances (26 games).

Meidroth went 3-for-3 with a walk, two RBI and a run scored Friday against the Dodgers.

Meidroth helped break the game open with a two-RBI single in the fifth inning, contributing to a seven-run rally for the White Sox in the frame. He extended his hitting streak to 12 games, with his perfect effort Friday marking his third multi-hit performance in that span. Meidroth has hit particularly well since mid-May, maintaining a .321 average with two homers, 13 RBI and 12 runs scored across 21 contests.

Lowe went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Friday against the Mariners.

Lowe popped a home run in the eighth inning, his 17th of the season and second in as many games. He's had an all-or-nothing approach at the plate across his first 10 games of June, hitting only .189 with a 26.2 percent strikeout rate. However, three of his seven hits in that span have cleared the fence.

Madrigal went 2-for-3 with a walk, one RBI, a stolen base and one run scored in Friday's 4-3 win over the Rays.

Madrigal logged his third multi-hit effort in 12 games since joining the big-league roster. The infielder is batting .364 in the majors this season, though only one of his 12 hits, a double, has gone for extra bases. His steal Friday was his first of the year on his second attempt. Madrigal is filling a versatile role between second base and third base, putting some pressure on the likes of Oswald Peraza, Donovan Walton and Denzer Guzman in what remains an unsettled infield for the Angels.

Cleveland announced that Ramirez has a left hamate bone fracture on Saturday, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

Ramirez was taken out of Saturday's ball game against Detroit in the sixth inning with what is now determined to be a left hamate bone fracture. The 33-year-old was slashing .238/.339/.415 in 310 plate appearances this campaign, well below his career averages of .278/.352/.500. The Guardians have yet to determine who will replace Ramirez on the active roster, but look for David Fry and Daniel Schneemann to get more playing time at third base in his absence.

Ramirez (undisclosed) was removed from Saturday's tilt against Detroit in the sixth inning, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

It's not immediately clear why Ramirez was removed, but he fouled out during a plate appearance in the bottom of the fifth inning and was pulled for a defensive substitute in the top of the sixth. His removal is the continuation of a brutal day for the Guardians, who earlier lost outfielders Chase DeLauter (ribs) and Angel Martinez (foot) due to injuries. Cleveland has consequently had to shuffle around players on defense -- Daniel Schneemann is playing third base, Kyle Manzardo has entered at first base, Steven Kwan has taken over in center field and Rhys Hoskins is in left field for his first appearance in the outfield since 2018.

Keith is out of the starting lineup against the Guardians on Saturday.

Cleveland is starting southpaw Joey Cantillo, so the left-handed-hitting Keith is beginning on the bench. As a result, Jahmai Jones is getting a turn as the Tigers' designated hitter.

Mayo isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against San Diego, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Mayo will get a breather after going 0-for-4 with three strikeouts during Friday's series opener. His absence will give Blaze Alexander a start at third base.

Muncy went 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a run scored in Friday's 6-4 win over the Rockies.

Muncy came through with a two-RBI double off the wall in left-center field to tie the game at 4-4 in the sixth inning. The third baseman added a single in the eighth frame, marking his first multi-hit effort since returning from the injured list Monday, albeit across just three contests. Overall, Muncy is hitting .240 with a .702 OPS, 10 extra-base hits (two homers), 11 RBI, 17 runs and two stolen bases in 29 games.

Okamoto went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's win over the Yankees.

The third baseman took Ryan Weathers deep in the first inning, ripping a slider down the left-field line into the upper deck at the Rogers Centre. Per TSN.ca, Okamoto is only the 19th player in the history of the stadium and just the 10th Blue Jay to reach the 500 level with a long ball, a feat last accomplished by a Toronto player when Josh Donaldson did it in 2017. Through 10 games to begin June, Okamoto is slashing .316/.341/.500 with two homers, five runs and seven RBI.

Bogaerts was hit in the head by a pitch during Saturday's win over the Orioles and ultimately left the game, Byron Kerr of MLB.com reports.

Bogaerts took a 93.5 mph sinker from Trey Gibson off his helmet in the top of the fifth inning and subsequently went down on his hands and knees. He was able to stay in the game and eventually came around to score on a sacrifice fly, but the veteran shortstop was then switched out for on defense in the bottom of the sixth frame. Manager Craig Stammen said after the victory that Bogaerts was initially feeling fine but then "started not feeling as good" before he was pulled, per 97.3 The Fan. Stammen added that the team will evaluate Bogaerts throughout the remainder of the day and night, which will help determine if he'll be able to play Sunday.

Tovar (lower leg) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Athletics.

Tovar was a late scratch from the lineup ahead of Friday's game due to soreness in his lower left leg, and he'll need at least one more day off Saturday before returning to action. Willi Castro will pick up another start at shortstop while Edouard Julien mans the keystone.

Rojas was removed from Saturday's game against the White Sox with an apparent injury, Jack Harris of the California Post reports.

Rojas appeared to be bothered by something during his plate appearance in the seventh inning and was lifted for a pinch runner after drawing a walk. It's unclear what exactly the veteran infielder is dealing with, but the Dodgers should provide more details in the near future.

Seager (ribs/jaw) isn't in the starting lineup versus Boston on Saturday.

Seager was involved in a collision at home plate Thursday against Kansas City and will sit out a second straight game due to resulting injuries to his ribs and jaw. However, he's reportedly feeling better, per Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News, and is considered day-to-day. Nicky Lopez is starting at shortstop Saturday in Seager's stead.

Henderson went 3-for-3 with a walk, a solo home run and a second run scored in Friday's 7-3 win over the Padres.

The 24-year-old took Griffin Canning deep in the fourth inning, giving Henderson his 14th homer of the season and the 100th of his career. He's the fourth-youngest player in Orioles history to reach that milestone, behind Boog Powell, Hall of Famer Eddie Murray and Friday's opponent Manny Machado. Henderson has banged out three or more hits in five of his last 25 contests, slashing .277/.360/.475 over that stretch with five doubles, five homers, one steal, 11 RBI and 15 runs.

Bichette went 2-for-3 with two home runs and six RBI in Friday's 7-5 win over Atlanta.

The 28-year-old started the scoring with a leadoff homer in the bottom of the first inning, followed up with a grand slam in the second and then delivered a sacrifice fly in the fourth to account for all but one of the Mets' runs. The RBI total matches a career high for Bichette, who has now homered in each of the past two contests and is batting .316 (12-for-38) with six extra-base hits, 12 RBI and five runs through 10 games in June.

The Rangers announced that Helman has multiple fractures in his right hand, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Helman will miss some time for Texas after being hit by a pitch, which caused multiple fractures in his right hand. After being called up on May 18, the 30-year-old has only recorded 31 plate appearances, slashing .179/.233/.321. It has yet to be determined who will replace Helman on the active roster.

Soderstrom is not starting versus Colorado on Saturday.

The lefty-hitting Soderstrom is getting a breather with the Rockies sending southpaw Kyle Freeland to the mound. It's the fourth time in five games that the A's are going up against a lefty starter, but Soderstrom started each of those first three contests, so he's not in a platoon situation. However, Colby Thomas is spelling Soderstrom in left field Saturday.

McCarthy (illness) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Athletics.

Saturday will mark the fourth consecutive game that McCarthy has missed while recovering from an illness. The Rockies haven't yet suggested that he will have to spend time on the injured list, though that could become an option if he isn't able to return soon. Sterlin Thompson, Cole Carrigg and Troy Johnston will form Colorado's outfield trio Saturday.

Helman was removed from Saturday's game against the Red Sox after being hit on the hand by a pitch in the eighth inning, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Helman started the contest in center field after Evan Carter landed on the injured list due to an oblique injury. Helman went 0-for-2 with a sacrifice fly in his first three plate appearances before being struck by a pitch on the right hand in the top of the eighth inning. Brandon Nimmo, who served as a pinch hitter following Helman's HBP, then remained in the game to play defense in the bottom of the frame while Helman departed. It's unclear at this point if Helman is dealing with a serious issue or if his exit was precautionary, but more information on his status should be coming soon.

Martinez is dealing with a bruised left foot, and X-rays came back negative, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

Martinez was pulled from Saturday's matchup against Detroit due to the injury, which occurred when he fouled a ball off his foot in the first inning. The fact that he initially stayed in the game bodes well for his likelihood of avoiding of a long-term absence, as does the negative X-rays. Still, it's too early to tell whether Martinez will need to miss additional time.

DeLauter exited Saturday's game against Detroit due to a right rib cage contusion, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

DeLauter suffered the injury when he crashed into the outfield wall while pursuing a batted ball in the top of the first inning. He initially remained in the contest but was pulled after grabbing at his side while running to first base on a single in the bottom of the frame. At this point, it's unclear how much additional time (if any) DeLauter will need to miss or if an IL stint is on the table.

Lodolo didn't factor into the decision in Friday's loss to the Diamondbacks, giving up two earned runs on five hits and one walk while striking out five batters over 5.1 innings.

Lodolo was working with a lead for the vast majority of his start, but his hopes of capturing his first win of June were dashed in the sixth inning after he plunked Jordan Lawlar, who then swiped second base and came around to score on LuJames Groover's single. Having to settle for a no-decision doesn't change the fact that Lodolo has been showing improvement on the mound after running into early struggles, turning in a 3.91 ERA and 1.39 WHIP with a 19:5 K:BB across his last four starts, each of which has lasted at least five innings.

Rodriguez didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 5-2 win over the Reds, allowing two runs (one earned) on two hits and five walks while striking out three batters in 2.2 innings.

It was immediately clear that Rodriguez didn't have his best stuff going Friday. He issued three free passes in the first inning and needed 40 pitches to collect his first three outs, though he managed to do so without giving up a run. The runs would come later, courtesy of a solo homer from Noelvi Marte in the second and an RBI single from Eugenio Suarez in the third. The D-backs made the call to take Rodriguez out of the game once he had reached 85 pitches midway through the third inning, marking the southpaw's shortest start of the season. He'll carry a 2.55 ERA and 1.23 WHIP into his next outing, which figures to be a relatively favorable matchup at home against the Angels.

Leiter (3-6) took the loss against the Red Sox on Friday, allowing six runs (five earned) on eight hits and two walks while striking out three batters across five innings.

Leiter had a 1-0 lead to work with when he first took the mound Friday, but he watched it quickly disappear as Wilyer Abreu drove in a run on a sacrifice fly and Willson Contreras homered in the next at-bat to make it a 2-1 game after the first inning. Leiter then gave up four consecutive hits to lead off the fifth inning, sparking a four-run outburst from the Red Sox that would put the game well out of reach. The 26-year-old righty has now given up five earned runs in back-to-back starts and amassed just five combined strikeouts during those outings. He'll aim to right the ship next week against the Twins at home.

Gray (8-1) earned the win Friday against the Rangers, allowing one earned run on five hits and zero walks while striking out seven batters over six innings.

Gray got into a bit of trouble early, allowing three of the first four batters he faced to record a hit and putting the Red Sox in an early 1-0 hole. However, he managed to regain his composure and keep the Rangers off the scoreboard for the rest of the night while allowing just two additional hits. The 36-year-old righty remains as dependable as ever, allowing three runs or fewer in each of his last eight starts and collecting wins in six of them. He's lined up to make his next start at home against Toronto.

Bibee (2-7) earned the win Friday against Detroit, giving up two earned runs on two hits and two walks while striking out eight batters across seven innings.

Bibee gave up solo homers to James Outman and Spencer Torkelson, but those ended up being the only hits he would allow en route to collecting his second consecutive win. The 27-year-old righty has now tallied six quality starts in his last seven outings and put up a 3.43 ERA and 0.92 WHIP across 44.2 innings in that span. He'll look to keep building on the momentum he's gained during his next outing against the Brewers in Milwaukee.

The Tigers placed Flaherty on the 15-day injured list Saturday with a left peroneal strain.

Flaherty was forced to end his start Friday against Cleveland prematurely due to injury, and further evaluation determined he'll need to spend time on the IL due to complications with his outer ankle. Hao-Yu Lee was recalled from Triple-A Toledo in a corresponding move, though Casey Mize (thigh) is expected to return from the injured list Sunday and will presumably act as Flaherty's replacement in the rotation.

Helsley pitched one inning with two strikeouts and no hits allowed for Triple-A Norfolk in his second rehab outing, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Helsley completed his second rehab appearance for Norfolk and impressed after recording a 1-2-3 inning on just 14 pitches. Baltimore has missed the right hander's presence in the back-end of the bullpen since he was placed on the injured list May 1. Before being placed on the IL, Helsley posted a 2.53 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 15:7 K:BB in 10.2 innings.

Tampa Bay optioned Englert to Triple-A Durham on Saturday.

In his most recent stint with the Rays, Englert pitched in two games, allowing just one run on four hits with a 6:2 K:BB over nine innings. He threw 65 pitches while covering four frames Friday against the Angels, so he was likely going to be unavailable for a few days, and Tampa Bay decided to send him down to make room for Craig Kimbrel (wrist) to return from the injured list. Englert could be back with Tampa Bay the next time the team needs a reliever capable of covering multiple innings on the big-league roster.

The Rays activated Kimbrel (wrist) from the 15-day injured list Saturday.

Kimbrel landed on the IL due to a right wrist strain in late May, and he ended up needing only the minimum amount of time on the shelf. The veteran reliever will now resume his low-leverage role in Tampa Bay's bullpen. He has pitched in just one game since joining the team off waivers May 26, tossing a scoreless inning against Baltimore.

The Rockies sent Bellozo outright to Triple-A Albuquerque on Saturday.

Bellozo was jettisoned off the Rockies' 40-man roster after posting an 8.83 ERA and 1.83 WHIP across 52 innings in the minors. No team was willing to pick him up off waivers, so the 26-year-old righty will remain in the organization as rotation depth at Albuquerque. Eiberson Castellano was selected to the MLB roster in a corresponding move.

Ragans (elbow) had a throwing session cut short Friday and will undergo additional testing, Jaylon T. Thompson of The Kansas City Star reports.

According to manager Matt Quatraro, Ragans "woke up yesterday [Friday], not feeling as well arm-wise." The southpaw still attempted to throw, but he had to cut the session short. As a result, Kansas City has elected to have Ragans sent in for more testing, which will take place "in the next couple of days." Ragans had progressed to throwing bullpen sessions in his attempt to return from a left elbow impingement, but the setback may push back his timeline to rejoin Kansas City's rotation.

The Rockies optioned Criswell to Triple-A Albuquerque on Saturday.

Criswell turned in scoreless innings in both of his appearances after being recalled from Triple-A on Tuesday, but he'll be sent back down so the Rockies can get a fresh arm in the bullpen in the form of Eiberson Castellano. Criswell hasn't performed nearly as well at Albuquerque this season (nine earned runs in 10.2 IP), but his performance with the Rockies could keep him in consideration for a return to Colorado later in the year.

Stanton tweaked his injured right calf while running the bases this week, and he may now need more imaging, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Stanton had been ramping up toward a return to action, and manager Aaron Boone suggested Saturday that the slugger had been expected to be activated during the early portion of the Yankees' upcoming homestand, which begins Tuesday. That plan is now in peril, though it's unclear at this point how much Stanton's setback this week will push back his timeline. If the veteran needs additional imaging, the results of those tests would likely provide insight into how much more time he'll need to miss.

Ohtani (knee) will serve as the Dodgers' designated hitter and bat leadoff Saturday against the White Sox.

Ohtani left Thursday's game early due to knee inflammation and didn't play Friday, but he seems to be ready to go Saturday after getting some rest. The two-way star has been surging at the plate this month, slashing .444/.535/.833 with three homers, nine RBI and 11 runs scored in nine games since June 1.

The Padres placed Andujar on the 10-day injured list Saturday, retroactive to Thursday, with a left hamstring strain.

Andujar began dealing with hamstring issues Sunday and hasn't been in the starting lineup since, though he's been able to enter a few games off the bench. Now officially battling a strain, he'll move to the injured list and remain out until at least June 21. Nick Solak was selected to the active roster in a corresponding move.

Bell isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Cardinals.

Bell has notched a hit in each of Minnesota's last five games, but he'll move to the bench to begin Saturday's contest. Byron Buxton will move into the DH spot with Bell out, giving Ryan Kreidler a start in center field.

Benintendi went 1-for-4 with a walk and a solo home run Friday against the Dodgers.

Benintendi got the scoring started for the White Sox with a home run in the first inning, his seventh of the season. Four of those long balls have come in his last 10 starts, during which he's hit .257 with eight RBI and nine runs scored. That stretch has also coincided with Munetaka Murakami's (hamstring) absence, with Benintendi rising up the White Sox's lineup to primarily hit third.

Alvarez went 3-for-5 with two home runs and six total RBI in Friday's win over the Royals.

Alvarez slugged both homers as part of the Astros' nine-run first inning. He launched a two-run shot off Luinder Avila and later belted a grand slam off Mason Black. Alvarez is up to 24 homers on the season, and he snapped a four-game home-run drought with this impressive performance. Alvarez also owns a blistering 1.092 OPS in 70 games and 305 plate appearances this season.
