Dubon isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Miami.

Dubon went 0-for-3 on Friday to snap what had been a 12-game hitting streak, and he'll now get a day off Saturday while Mike Yastrzemski starts in left field and Dominic Smith works as the DH.

Young isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Mets.

Young will get some rest Saturday after going 2-for-4 during a win in Friday's series opener. While he sits, Daylen Lile, Dylan Crews and James Wood will start across the outfield.

Mangum isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Tigers.

Mangum will take a seat Saturday after going 1-for-4 with a pair of strikeouts in the series opener Friday. His absence will allow Ronny Simon to pick up a start in right field, batting seventh.

Church was out of Friday's lineup in Milwaukee due to lingering soreness in his foot, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Church fouled a ball off his foot during the Cardinals' series in Pittsburgh earlier this week. He was able to appear off the bench as a pinch hitter, so Church could be back in the lineup as soon as Saturday. Victor Scott started Friday in center field in Church's place, going 1-for-3 at the plate.

Lawlar went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 11-4 win over the Padres.

Lawlar has faded into a reserve role lately, but he made the most of a start Friday. In September, he has gone 12-for-51 (.235) with seven extra-base hits and seven RBI over 20 contests. Lawlar is batting .256 with a .781 OPS, six homers, 16 RBI, 17 runs scored, five doubles, one triple and five stolen bases over 43 games in the majors this season.

Nootbaar went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, two walks and three runs scored in Friday's 11-4 win over the Padres.

Nootbaar set the tone, ambushing Casey Mize on the first pitch of the game. Nootbaar has gone 6-for-15 (.400) over his last four games, though the homer accounted for his first RBI since Sept. 14. The outfielder is batting .241 with a .728 OPS, eight homers, 32 RBI, 38 runs scored, 14 doubles, one triple and two stolen bases across 88 games between the Diamondbacks and the Cardinals this year.

Hernandez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 2-0 win over the Giants.

Hernandez's six-game hitting streak ended Thursday, but he bounced back with a homer in his first at-bat Friday. That blast was all the Dodgers needed to get this win. Hernandez is now batting .268 with a .763 OPS, 16 long balls, 64 RBI, 66 runs scored, 17 doubles, two triples and five stolen bases over 123 games. In September, he's hitting .354 with a .997 OPS, getting hot at just the right time.

Pages went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a stolen base in Friday's 2-0 win over the Giants.

Pages showed power and speed in this low-scoring contest. He's now gone 5-for-12 with two extra-base hits and two walks over four games since he returned from a fractured hand. The outfielder is batting .275 with an .808 OPS, 22 homers, 81 RBI, 74 runs scored, 26 doubles, two triples and 13 steals across 132 contests this season.

Crews went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, two steals and two additional runs scored during the Nationals' 7-6 win over the Mets on Friday.

Over his last 13 games, Benge has gone 17-for-52 (.327) with four home runs, nine RBI and nine runs scored.
