  • Sal Frelick RF | MIL

    Brewers' Sal Frelick: On bench to finish twin bill

    Frelick isn't in the lineup for the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Pirates.

  • Jake Mangum CF | PIT

    Pirates' Jake Mangum: Resting during Game 2

    Mangum isn't in the lineup for the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Brewers.

    After going 1-for-3 with two runs scored during a victory in Game 1, Mangum will grab a seat on the bench to begin the nightcap. Bryan Reynolds, Billy Cook and Esmerlyn Valdez will form the Pirates' outfield trio while Mangum sits.

  • Phillies' Justin Crawford: Sitting again Saturday

    Crawford (knee) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Tigers.

    Crawford will miss a second consecutive start after being scratched from the lineup ahead of Friday's game due to left knee soreness. Derek Hill will pick up another start in center field as a result and bat ninth.

  • Noelvi Marte RF | CIN

    Reds' Noelvi Marte: Moving to bench Saturday

    Marte isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Cubs.

    Marte will get a day off after going 0-for-3 in Friday's series opener. While he rests, the Reds will move Spencer Steer to right field and start Nathaniel Lowe at first base.

  • Jacob Young CF | WAS

    Nationals' Jacob Young: Absent from lineup

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

    Young went 1-for-4 with a stolen base during Friday's loss and will now retreat to the dugout to begin Saturday's events. Daylen Lile, Dylan Crews and James Wood will start across the outfield with Young on the bench.

  • Brewer Hicklen RF | ATL

    Braves' Brewer Hicklen: Recalled from Gwinnett

    Atlanta recalled Hicklen from Triple-A Gwinnett on Saturday.

    Since joining the 40-man roster in mid-June, Hicklen has slashed .259/.330/.506 with five homers, 20 RBI, 16 runs and four steals across 91 plate appearances. He'll now join the big club for the first time this season to replace the injured Mike Yastrzemski (elbow). Hicklen and Eli White will likely compete for starts in the outfield until Yastrzemski is healthy.

  • Braves' Mike Yastrzemski: Lands on IL due to elbow issue

    Atlanta placed Yastrzemski on the 10-day injured list Saturday with left elbow inflammation.

    Yastrzemski had tallied a base hit in each of Atlanta's last five games, but the team will be without his services until at least July 21 while he recovers from the elbow issue. Eli White could be in line for more reps in right field while Yastrzemski is out, though Brewer Hicklen -- who was called up from Triple-A Gwinnett in a corresponding move -- could also be in the mix for playing time.

  • Cole Carrigg CF | COL

    Rockies' Cole Carrigg: Riding pine Saturday

    Carrigg isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Giants.

    Carrigg will get a chance to regroup Saturday after going 0-for-10 with six strikeouts across his last three games. Mickey Moniak, Jake McCarthy and Troy Johnston will form Colorado's outfield trio while Carrigg is on the bench.

  • Drew Gilbert CF | SF

    Giants' Drew Gilbert: Doubles in defeat

    Gilbert went 1-for-4 with a double in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Rockies.

    After going hitless in his previous two games, Gilbert lined a double to left field in the fourth inning. Across 17 plate appearances in July, he's batting .313 with three RBI, two doubles and a home run. Overall, the 25-year-old outfielder is slashing .235/.319/.377 with 21 runs scored, 19 RBI and four long balls in 209 plate appearances this season.
