Crow-Armstrong went 2-for-4 with a walk and a two-run home run in Saturday's 8-6 loss to the Blue Jays.

The sixth-inning long ball off Lazaro Estrada was Crow-Armstrong's 16th of the season, and his fifth in the last seven contests as part of a 10-game hitting streak. During that heater, the 24-year-old center fielder is batting a sizzling .476 (20-for-42) with 11 total extra-base hits, four steals, eight RBI and 10 runs.

Schmitt went 3-for-4 with a home run, two doubles and two RBI in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Marlins.

Schmitt tied the game with a solo shot in the fourth inning before adding an RBI double in the eighth. He's now hit safely in six consecutive games, recording multiple hits five times with four extra-base hits, three RBI, three runs scored and two stolen bases during that stretch. On the year, the 27-year-old is slashing .293/.322/.531 with 16 homers, 41 RBI, 34 runs scored and seven steals across 289 plate appearances.

Crews went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Rays.

Crews singled and scored in the second inning before hitting what proved to be a crucial solo shot in the ninth. The 24-year-old has hit safely in seven of his past nine games, going deep three times with nine RBI and seven runs scored during that stretch. On the year, he's still slashing a lowly .198/.236/.366 with five homers, 15 RBI, 13 runs scored and two steals across 106 plate appearances.

Reynolds (groin) will start in left field and bat third in Saturday's game against the Rockies.

Reynolds was scratched from the lineup for Friday's game due to left groin discomfort, though he ended up coming off the bench and delivering an RBI single in his lone plate appearance. Now cleared to return to the starting nine, Reynolds will look continue building his case for a third career All-Star selection.

Young was removed from Saturday's game against the Rays with an apparent upper-body injury, Spencer Nusbaum of The Athletic reports.

Young injured himself while making a leaping catch against the outfield wall in the eighth inning and seemed to be grabbing near his ribs after falling to the ground. The Nationals will likely send him in for imaging and could have an update on his status after the game.

The Diamondbacks recalled Tawa from Triple-A Reno on Saturday.

Tawa was sent down to Triple-A at the beginning of June after posting a .519 OPS across 70 plate appearances, but he's slashed .351/.439/.772 with five homers, 16 RBI and 13 runs scored in 15 games at Reno. He'll now rejoin the Diamondbacks as the replacement for the injured Jordan Lawlar (hamstring), though Tawa will likely be limited to a bench role while Jorge Barrosa receives an uptick in playing time.

The Diamondbacks placed Lawlar on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a right hamstring strain.

Lawlar had to come out of Friday's game after legging out an infield single, and he was later diagnosed with a hamstring strain. He'll now spend at least the next 10 days on the shelf, leaving Jorge Barrosa as the favorite to take over as Arizona's primary center fielder. Tim Tawa was recalled from Triple-A Reno in a corresponding move.

Yastrzemski isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Brewers.

Yastrzemski was initially set to start in right field and bat eighth Saturday, but he appears to have been a healthy scratch to allow Michael Harris (back) to join the lineup as Atlanta's center fielder with Mauricio Dubon and Eli White patrolling the corners.

Harris (back) will start in center field and bat fifth Saturday against the Brewers.

Harris missed two starts after exiting Tuesday's game with lower-back tightness and was left out of the first iteration of Atlanta's lineup Saturday, but he appears to have checked out healthy before the game and will now return to the starting nine. The 25-year-old outfielder has logged a hit in 10 of the 12 games he's played this month while slashing .326/.383/.465 with a home run, five RBI and eight runs scored.

Schmitt went 2-for-4 with an RBI in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Marlins.

Schmitt singled in the second inning and added an RBI single in the sixth. The 27-year-old has recorded two hits in four straight games and is now batting .264 with six runs scored, six RBI, three home runs and two stolen bases over 74 plate appearances in June. Overall, he's slashing .286/.316/.509 with 39 RBI, 33 runs scored, 15 long balls and seven stolen bases across 285 plate appearances on the year.
