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

Tucker will get a day off to reset after going just 5-for-28 (.179) at the plate while starting the previous nine games. Enrique Hernandez, Andy Pages and Teoscar Hernandez will form the Dodgers' outfield trio while Tucker is on the bench.

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

Myers has gone 8-for-21 while compiling a six-game hitting streak, but the Reds will give him a chance to rest Saturday. JJ Bleday, TJ Friedl and Noelvi Marte will start across the outfield while Myers is on the bench.

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

Dubon will get a chance to clear his head Saturday after posting just a .513 OPS in 15 games since the All-Star break. His absence will allow Mike Yastrzemski to start in left field while Dominic Smith serves as Atlanta's designated hitter.

The Marlins reinstated Caissie (calf) from the injured list Saturday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Caissie played three games after beginning a rehab assignment at Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday, going 3-for-7 with two homers and an additional RBI and run scored. He'll now return to the active roster for the first time since July 9, but he'll miss out on the starting nine Saturday with left-hander Zac Thornton toeing the slab for the Mets. Graham Pauley was optioned to Jacksonville in a corresponding move.

Berroa cleared waivers Saturday and was sent outright to Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

Berroa lost his spot on the Phillies' 40-man roster last weekend, but he'll stay put at Lehigh Valley after passing through waivers. The 27-year-old owns a .762 OPS through 262 plate appearances in the minors this season.

Robert isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Marlins, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Robert will take a day to reset after going just 4-for-33 at the plate in 10 games since returning from the injured list. Tyrone Taylor, A.J. Ewing and Carson Benge will start across the outfield while Robert sits.

Benge went 3-for-4 with a double in Friday's loss to the Marlins.

The Mets managed just seven hits total on the night, so Benge's big night didn't lead to any offense, but the rookie outfielder continues to build momentum. He's banged out seven knocks in the last four games, and over 50 contests since the beginning of June he's produced a .280/.338/.435 slash line with seven homers, eight steals, 20 RBI and 27 runs.

Mangum went 2-for-4 with a walk, a home run, two RBI and a stolen base in Friday's 8-7 loss to the Reds.

His second-inning shot off Hunter Greene briefly gave the Pirates a 3-2 lead in a wild back-and-forth affair. Mangum's homer was just his third of the year, while the steal was his 20th, marking the second straight season in which he's reached that milestone. Over 24 games in July, Mangum put together a .319/.379/.436 slash line with two home runs, six stolen bases, nine RBI and 14 runs while acting as the primary center fielder in the absence of Oneil Cruz (hand).

Rengifo went 1-for-3 with two walks, one stolen base and three runs scored in Friday's 7-0 win over the Giants.

Rengifo continues to thrive in a utility role for the Padres. He's now settled in as the No. 2 hitter against southpaws while seeing time at second base, third base, left field and designated hitter over the last week. He's batting .381 (16-for-42) over 13 games since joining the Padres' big-league roster July 8. On the year, the utility man is batting .238 with a .629 OPS, two home runs, five steals, 27 RBI, 29 runs scored and 11 doubles over 70 games between San Diego and Milwaukee.

Tatis went 1-for-3 with a double, two walks, a stolen base and two runs scored in Friday's 7-0 win over the Giants.

Tatis has surged since the All-Star break, going 19-for-55 (.345) with seven extra-base hits, three steals and 14 RBI over his last 14 games. The outfielder's overall power numbers remain down compared to previous seasons, but he's made up for it by running at a career-high rate. He's now batting .286 with a .759 OPS, 26 steals on 37 attempts, eight home runs, 49 RBI, 56 runs scored, 22 doubles and two triples over 109 contests.
