Fermin isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Rockies.

Fermin went 0-for-2 with a run scored Friday to snap what had been a modest four-game hitting streak, and he'll now get a chance to rest his legs while Bryan Torres starts at second base and bats leadoff.

Freeman cleared waivers Saturday and was sent outright to Triple-A Albuquerque.

Freeman has slashed just .247/.317/.314 across 288 plate appearances with the Rockies this season, and he'll likely play out the remainder of the season at Triple-A after passing through waivers unclaimed. His 40-man roster spot was filled by Vimael Machin, who was selected to the active roster Saturday.

Young isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Dodgers, Mark Zuckerman of NatsJournal.com reports.

Young will grab a seat on the bench to begin Saturday's game after walking twice in Friday's series opener. Daylen Lile, Dylan Crews and James Wood will form Washington's outfield trio with Young out.

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

After going just 3-for-19 with two runs scored and five strikeouts in his last seven games, Yastrzemski will step out of the starting nine Saturday while Mauricio Dubon starts in left field, clearing the way for Ha-Seong Kim to start at shortstop.

Caissie (neck) will start in right field and bat sixth Saturday against the Cubs.

Neck spasms kept Caissie out of the starting lineup for each of Miami's last three games, though he was able to enter Friday's contest off the bench. Now fully healthy, he'll aim to turn things around at the plate after slashing .161/.254/.250 across 63 plate appearances since the beginning of August.

Cox went 2-for-2 with two runs scored in Friday's 10-6 loss to the Mets.

Cox entered the game in the seventh inning and immediately hit a leadoff single before coming around to score. He added another base hit in the eighth and scored again. The 25-year-old outfielder has racked up four multi-hit performances over San Francisco's last nine games, batting .391 with seven runs scored, five stolen bases, four RBI and a home run in 27 plate appearances over that stretch. On the campaign, he's slashing .297/.342/.541 with 16 runs scored, 10 RBI, nine stolen bases and four long balls across 82 plate appearances.

Hill went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a walk in Friday's 10-6 loss to the Mets.

Hill logged a base hit in the fifth inning and added an RBI single in the seventh. The 27-year-old outfielder has recorded at least one hit in four of the last five games, batting .471 with six RBI and four runs scored in 22 plate appearances during that span. Overall, he's slashing .333/.426/.438 with 12 RBI, seven runs scored, five doubles and a stolen base across 61 plate appearances this season.

Owusu-Asiedu slugged 11 home runs over an 18-game stretch for Double-A Amarillo in August and was named the Texas League Player of the Month, Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports reports.

Owusu-Asiedu was promoted to Amarillo on Aug. 11 and went on an immediate tear with a 14-game hitting streak, during which he went 27-for-55 (.491) with 10 home runs, five doubles, one triple, 26 RBI, 15 runs and two stolen bases. Twice during that run he homered in four consecutive contests. Prior to his stint in Double-A, there wasn't much remarkable about Owusu-Asiedu at High-A Hillsboro, where he posted a .202/.289/.369 slash line. The 6-foot-4 outfielder is not on MLB's top-30 list of prospects for the Diamondbacks.

Tucker went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, a walk and a second run scored in Friday's 5-3 win over the Nationals.

Tucker ended a 22-game power drought with his sixth-inning blast. During that stretch, he hit just .132 (10-for-76) with two doubles, one triple and five RBI. Inconsistency has been a theme for Tucker throughout much of the campaign, but he continues to hold down a starting role in right field. He's batting .226 with a .686 OPS, 12 homers, 59 RBI, 73 runs scored, 20 doubles, three triples and 10 stolen bases over 133 contests.

Dubon went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored during Friday's 5-2 win over the Phillies.

Dubon gave Atlanta a three-run cushion after taking Orion Kerkering deep to left-center field for a 390-foot, two-run blast. It was Dubon's first home run since the All-Star break, bringing him up to 11 home runs on the year and surpassing a previous career high that he set in 2023 with the Astros. Dubon has a .702 OPS with seven steals, 66 RBI and 37 extra-base hits across 536 plate appearances this season.
