Wood went 1-for-4 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 6-5 loss to the Dodgers.

Wood has gone 4-for-13 with two doubles and one RBI over three games since he returned from an oblique injury. This was his first steal since his activation off the injured list. The outfielder is up to 18 steals on 20 attempts this year. He's added a .267 batting average, .925 OPS, 30 home runs, 74 RBI, 101 runs scored, 28 doubles and one triple across 117 contests.

Baez went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Saturday's 10-7 loss to the Rockies.

Baez has started to find a groove at the plate, hitting safely in eight of his last nine games. He's gone 10-for-29 (.345) with three homers and six RBI in that span. The rookie outfielder is hitting .229 with an .872 OPS, seven homers, 15 RBI, 13 runs scored, four doubles and two stolen bases over his first 21 major-league contests, and he should see steady time in left field down the stretch.

McCarthy went 1-for-3 with two walks, two stolen bases and two runs scored in Saturday's 10-7 win over the Cardinals.

McCarthy's surge on the basepaths has seen him notch nine steals over his last 18 games. In that span, he's batting .257 (19-for-74) with five RBI. McCarthy has a career-high 29 steals this season, but it's the overall package that has elevated him to a consistent spot atop the lineup for the Rockies. He's also batting .290 with an .811 OPS, 14 home runs, 72 RBI, 69 runs scored, 29 doubles and eight triples across 127 contests.

Carrigg went 2-for-4 with an RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 10-7 win over the Cardinals.

Carrigg has logged multiple hits in three straight games, going 7-for-14 with three RBI in that span. The outfielder picked up his ninth steal of the year Saturday, with six of those thefts coming since the start of August. He's batting .269 with an .802 OPS, seven home runs, 39 RBI, 41 runs scored, 19 doubles and four triples across 73 contests this season.

Reynolds went 3-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Saturday's 6-1 loss to the Angels.

Reynolds was the lone bright spot for the Pirates, reaching base in each of his plate appearances and launching a 421-foot blast in the eighth inning. While the long ball was the 31-year-old's first since July 28, he's hit safely in six of his past seven games with four multi-hit efforts. On the year, he's slashing .267/.373/.429 with 16 home runs, 67 RBI, 96 runs scored and nine steals across 624 plate appearances.

The Dodgers designated Thomas for assignment Saturday.

Thomas spent some time with the big-league club in late August but was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sept. 1. He'd been hitting well since his return to OKC, going 4-for-15 with three homers, four RBI and a stolen base over three games, but Los Angeles DFA'd him to make room on the 40-man roster for Bobby Miller (shoulder), who was activated from the 60-day injured list.

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.
