Moniak isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Padres, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Moniak will receive a day off Saturday after starting the month of September going 4-for-11 with two walks and three runs scored through four games. Tyler Freeman will fill the resulting void in right field, opening up second base for Ryan Ritter.

Ramos isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Cardinals, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

The Giants will give the red-hot Ramos a day to rest Saturday after he extended his hitting streak to six games with a two-hit performance Friday. While he sits, Luis Matos, Jung Hoo Lee and Drew Gilbert will start across the outfield for San Francisco.

Crow-Armstrong was removed from Saturday's game against the Nationals with a right knee contusion, Ryan Herrera of AllCHGO.com reports.

Crow-Armstrong was able to finish his at-bat after fouling a ball off his knee during the sixth inning, though he was replaced on defense when the Cubs took the field in the seventh. The Cubs are officially labeling his injury as a contusion, which suggests he didn't suffer any significant damage from the foul tip, though he may sit out a game or two as a precaution.

Collins isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Pittsburgh.

Collins has recorded a hit in all four of Milwaukee's games since the start of September, but he'll grab a seat on the bench to begin Saturday's contest. Jackson Chourio, Blake Perkins and Sal Frelick will form the Brewers' outfield trio while Collins sits.

Lee went 4-for-5 with a triple, two runs scored and an RBI in Friday's 8-2 win over the Cardinals.

Lee tallied three singles and an RBI triple, marking his second four-hit performance of the season. The 27-year-old outfielder has been consistent over the past month-plus, slashing .333/.378/.486 with 16 runs scored, eight doubles, six RBI, three triples, three stolen bases and one home run in 119 plate appearances over 29 outings since Aug. 1. Overall, he's slashing .267/.330/.414 with 66 runs scored, 49 RBI, 10 stolen bases and seven long balls across 551 plate appearances this season.

Tucker (calf) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Nationals.

Tucker will miss a third straight start since leaving Tuesday's game early with a left calf injury. Manager Craig Counsell previously expressed optimism that the star outfielder would rejoin the lineup at some point this weekend, but a trip to the injured list could be coming if Tucker doesn't return soon. Willi Castro will cover right field for the Cubs on Saturday.

Lile went 2-for-4 with two triples, two runs scored and two RBI in Friday's loss to the Cubs.

He has an eye-popping seven three-baggers to lead all rookies on the season, despite playing only 70 games for the Nationals so far in 2025. Lile has caught fire after the All-Star break, and over his last 32 contests he's slashing .330/.368/.504 with 13 extra-base hits (seven doubles, five triples and a homer), five steals, 16 RBI and 19 runs.

Barrosa went 1-for-4 with a run scored in Friday's 10-5 win over the Red Sox.

The switch-hitting Barrosa started in left field for the second time in the last three games, with both starts coming against lefties. He singled and scored a run in both starts. The lefty-swinging Jake McCarthy manned the spot for the game in between against a right-hander. That platoon may be manager Torey Lovullo's plan going forward as he navigates life without Lourdes Gurriel (knee). The Red Sox have right-hander Lucas Giolito going Saturday, when McCarthy is expected to play left field.

Kepler went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Friday's 9-3 win over the Marlins.

Kepler took Valente Bellozo deep in the second inning for his 15th long ball of the season and later added an RBI single for his sixth multi-hit effort in his last 16 contests. During that stretch, the outfielder has gone 18-for-60 (.300) with nine RBI and 11 runs scored. Even amid recent success at the plate, the 32-year-old is still slashing just .216/.302/.386 with 45 RBI, 53 runs scored, 18 doubles and two stolen bases across 422 plate appearances.

Carroll went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run and a stolen base in Friday's 10-5 win over the Red Sox.

Carroll reached the 30-homer mark for the first time with his eighth-inning blast. The outfielder also logged his third steal in the last four games, putting him at 24 thefts on the year. He's swiped 10 bags over his last 19 games, and if he can keep that accelerated pace going, he has a chance to secure a 30-30 campaign by the end of the season. He's up to a .259/.334/.559 slash line and has added 74 RBI, 96 runs scored, 28 doubles and 16 triples through 125 contests.
