Marsh went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a double in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the White Sox.

Marsh launched a solo shot in the sixth inning, marking the first time this season he's homered in consecutive games. He's riding a five-game hitting streak to open June, going 10-for-20 during that stretch with three multi-hit efforts. The 28-year-old leads the majors with a .335 batting average this year while adding seven long balls, 28 RBI, 31 runs scored and five steals across 223 plate appearances.

Mitchell isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Colorado.

Mitchell will get a chance to rest his legs Saturday after going 3-for-11 with an RBI and a run scored in four games since the start of June. While he sits, Jake Bauers, Jackson Chourio and Sal Frelick will start across the outfield.

Crow-Armstrong went 4-for-5 with two solo home runs in Saturday's 3-2 extra-inning win over the Giants.

Crow-Armstrong got the Cubs on the board with a solo shot in the sixth inning before tying the game in the ninth with a 403-foot blast. The 24-year-old is in the midst of an 11-game hitting streak that includes five homers, nine RBI, nine runs scored and one stolen base. The hot stretch has boosted his season slash line to .259/.343/.448 to go along with 11 long balls, 32 RBI, 37 runs scored and 13 steals across 272 plate appearances.

Tucker isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Angels, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Tucker will grab a seat on the bench to begin Saturday's game after going 0-for-3 with a strikeout in Friday's series opener. While he rests, the Dodgers will start Ryan Ward, Andy Pages and Alex Call across the outfield.

Harris (back) is not in Atlanta's starting lineup against Pittsburgh on Saturday, Chad Bishop of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Harris was removed from Friday's game due to back tightness. He's not quite ready to return to the lineup but is available as a pinch hitter Saturday, per Mark Bowman of MLB.com. Atlanta will start Mike Yastrzemski, Mauricio Dubon and Ronald Acuna in the outfield from left to right.

Mangum is not in the Pirates' starting lineup against Atlanta on Saturday.

Mangum will be on the bench for the start of Saturday's game while Bryan Reynolds, Oneil Cruz and Ryan O'Hearn start in the outfield from left to right. Mangum has gone 10-for-27 (.370) with five steals, one home run and four RBI over his last 10 games.

Church (shoulder) could be reinstated from the 10-day injured list ahead of Tuesday's game against the Mets, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Church started his rehab assignment with Triple-A Memphis on Thursday. He didn't fare particularly well in his two rehab games, going 0-for-6 with a strikeout, but the important thing for Church is that he emerged healthy after playing in Triple-A. It appears he's nearly fully recovered from a left shoulder strain that caused him to go on the 10-day IL in late May. Victor Scott's playing time will likely decrease once Church returns to the majors.

Cox went 3-for-3 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Friday's 18-3 win over the Cubs.

Cox entered in the sixth inning and hit a leadoff single to right field before coming around to score, and he added another single later in the frame. The 24-year-old outfielder also opened the ninth inning with a solo home run to center field off catcher Carson Kelly. Cox has appeared in six straight outings since having his contract selected from Double-A Richmond on Sunday, batting 4-for-9 with three runs scored, a home run and a double in nine plate appearances.

Dunn started in center field and went 2-for-5 with a run scored in Friday's 10-3 loss to St. Louis.

Dunn opened the game with a single and scored the Reds' first run. This was his second straight start in center field, after the club demoted TJ Friedl on Wednesday. At the very least, Dunn will serve on the strong side of a platoon there with Dane Myers entering the lineup against lefties. Dunn is slashing .284/.333/.420 over 87 plate appearances since his call-up in early May.

Garcia went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Friday's 8-6 win over the White Sox.

The veteran outfielder has had a tough time adjusting to his new surroundings after spending the prior six seasons with the Rangers, but Garcia may be getting comfortable as a Phillie. He's gone yard in back-to-back games as part of a modest four-game hit streak to begin June, boosting his batting average back above .200 after he ended May in a 2-for-35 funk. On the year, Garcia's slashing .202/.279/.333 with six homers, three steals, 18 RBI and 20 runs in 62 contests.
