Soderstrom (groin) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Reds.

Soderstrom will sit down for a second consecutive game after experiencing tightness in his groin during Wednesday's contest. His absence will allow Carlos Cortes to pick up another start in left field for the A's.

Caglianone isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Phillies.

Caglianone will get a breather Saturday after going 2-for-15 with two RBI and a run scored across his last five games. His absence will give Carter Jensen a start as Kansas City's designated hitter while batting eighth.

Baldwin (hip) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Guardians.

Baldwin was pulled from Friday's game due to a sore left hip, and he'll receive a day off to recover Saturday. Michael Taylor will fill the resulting void in center field and bat eighth.

Duran isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Yankees, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.

Duran typically remains in the lineup against left-handed starters, but the Red Sox will use a matchup against southpaw Max Fried as an opportunity to get Duran a day off. Rob Refsnyder will take over in left field and bat fourth.

The Rays transferred DeLuca (hamstring/quad) to the 60-day injured list Saturday, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

DeLuca has already been ruled out for the rest of the year after suffering a right quad strain at Triple-A Durham, so the Rays will move him to the 60-day IL to free up a 40-man roster spot for Garrett Acton.

Cole went 3-for-4 with a home run, two runs scored and four RBI in Friday's 11-3 win over Atlanta.

Starting in left field and batting eighth in his big-league debut, Cole became just the fifth player in Astros history to leave the yard in their first career at-bat when he deposited a Hurston Waldrep cutter over the right-field fence in the third inning for a two-run homer. Cole's presence in the lineup returned Jose Altuve to second base and Yordan Alvarez to DH, and if the rookie keeps swinging a hot bat, he could quickly become a fixture in the lineup against right-handed pitching. Prior to his promotion, Cole was slashing .347/.430/.645 over 32 games for Triple-A Sugar Land since the beginning of August with 20 of his 43 hits going for extra bases (nine doubles, five triples and six homers).

Garcia (quadriceps) will face live pitching this weekend and could return at some point during a three-game series in Houston beginning Monday, MLB.com reports.

Garcia's return estimates have shifted back and forth from this weekend's series against the Mets to next week's against the Astros. He's been out of action since Sept. 1.

Martinez went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Friday's 4-0 win over the White Sox.

Martinez provided an extra run of cushion with a home run in the eighth inning -- an increasingly rare offensive highlight for Martinez, who had last homered Aug. 6. He entered Friday's contest slashing .189/.250/.216 with one RBI since his previous home run.

Greene went 2-for-4 with a double and a solo home run in Friday's 8-2 loss to the Marlins.

Greene has gone deep twice in his last three games, and he's now up to 34 home runs this season, which is good for ninth in the majors. The young outfielder had something of a breakout campaign in 2024, but he's taking it to another level in 2025 with career highs in homers and RBI, and he needs three more runs to set a new career best in that category as well. Greene's .836 OPS would also be a new high-water mark if he keeps it up.

Judge went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, two walks and scored an additional run during Friday's win over the Red Sox.

After tying the legendary Joe DiMaggio with 361 career home runs Thursday, Judge didn't waste any time hitting No. 362 by sending a Lucas Giolito fastball 468 feet into the Boston night during the first inning. Now in sole possession of fourth place on the Yankees' all-time HR leaderboard, Judge needs just three more long balls over New York's final 15 games to record his third 50-homer season in the last four years.
