Caglianone went 2-for-3 with two walks, one RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 6-5 loss to the Pirates.

Caglianone sat out Friday's contest with a minor hand injury but returned in a big way, reaching base four times and tallying his first stolen base since Aug. 15. It was a much-needed effort from the 23-year-old, who entered the game just 4-for-27 with a 1:11 BB:K through his first 10 September contests. On the season, Cags is slashing .279/.332/.485 with 23 homers, 71 RBI, 68 runs scored and seven steals across 527 plate appearances.

DeLauter went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's 12-6 win over the Athletics.

DeLauter got the Guardians on the board with a blast in the first inning before coming around to score after a single in the third. It continued a steady second half for the 24-year-old, who owns an .868 OPS with 18 extra-base hits, 19 RBI, 26 runs scored and eight stolen bases over 47 games since the All-Star break. Overall, he's slashing .290/.363/.458 with 15 homers, 65 RBI, 59 runs scored and 11 steals across 531 plate appearances in what has been a successful rookie campaign.

Martinez went 4-for-5 with two home runs, a double, four RBI and three runs scored in Saturday's 12-6 win over the Athletics.

In his first game since Monday, Martinez fell a triple shy of the cycle and notched his second two-homer game of the season. It continued a long stretch of strong play by the 24-year-old, who's hitting .325 with 18 extra-base hits, 24 RBI and 19 runs scored over 35 games since the calendar flipped to August. For the year, he's slashing .255/.292/.467 with 17 home runs, 57 RBI, 47 runs scored and 11 steals across 390 plate appearances.

Siri went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, a walk and two stolen bases in Saturday's 6-5 extra-innings win over the Twins.

Siri did a little of everything Saturday. He has gone 7-for-18 (.389) over his last six games, a span that includes three multi-hit efforts. The outfielder is batting .237 with a .705 OPS, nine homers, nine steals, 30 RBI, 34 runs scored and 10 doubles across 232 plate appearances this season. Mike Trout has recently been seeing more action as a designated hitter, which has allowed Siri to step into a more regular role down the stretch for the Halos.

Judge said Saturday that he didn't know the grade of his calf strain, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports. "I gotta talk to the trainers and figure that out," Judge said.

"It doesn't matter what grade it is," manager Aaron Boone said, as the Yankees continue to offer little information regarding Judge's new injury. The one detail that was disclosed is that Judge is dealing with a strain of the soleus muscle, which is crucial to running and hitting, making it more difficult to play through than some other types of calf injuries. Judge added that he'd like to be back by the postseason. "That's definitely the plan," Judge said.

Rodriguez is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Angels.

The 23-year-old prospect homered in his first career plate appearance Sept. 12, but he has gone 4-for-23 with 11 strikeouts in his last six games and is hitless with seven strikeouts in his last three. Rodriguez will get a chance to clear his head as Austin Martin starts in left field and Walker Jenkins mans center against southpaw Reid Detmers.

Jones, who is out of the lineup Saturday against the Diamondbacks, said he is dealing with a sore left foot/heel, Brendan Kuty of The Athletic reports.

Jones didn't seem to be overly concerned about his foot, but the Yankees will err on the side of caution and give him the day off so he can recover. While he sits, Jose Caballero will patrol center field Saturday against the Diamondbacks.

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

Jones will get a day off after going just 1-for-19 with nine strikeouts over his last four games. Jose Caballero will take over as New York's center fielder and bat ninth.

Trammell isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Atlanta, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Trammell will take a seat after going 0-for-4 with three strikeouts during the series opener Friday. LaMonte Wade will replace him as Houston's left fielder and bat ninth.

The Astros designated Barrosa for assignment Saturday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

After being claimed off waivers from Arizona on Sept. 6, Barrosa went 1-for-7 with two walks while appearing in four games for the Astros. He'll now be DFA'd for the second time in three weeks to create room on Houston's 40-man roster for Brice Matthews (knee), who returned from the 60-day IL on Saturday.
