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.

Bateman (hip) will start in center field and bat leadoff Saturday against the Reds.

Bateman has missed three consecutive starts, but after entering Friday's game off the bench, he'll return to the starting nine for Toronto's penultimate regular-season contest. The 24-year-old has found consistent success at the plate since debuting in early August, slashing .318/.392/.411 across 173 plate appearances.

The Tigers transferred Carpenter (foot) to the 60-day injured list Saturday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Carpenter has already been ruled out from returning this year due to plantar fasciitis in his left foot, so the Tigers will move him to the 60-day IL to create space on the 40-man roster for Justin Verlander (hamstring/hip), who will start Saturday's game.

Bolte went 2-for-5 with a triple, two RBI and a run scored in Friday's 6-5 win over the Astros.

Bolte smashed a two-RBI triple off the right-field wall to extend the Athletics' lead to 5-1 in the sixth inning. The 23-year-old is closing out his rookie campaign strongly, hitting .306/.416/.553 with five homers, 12 RBI, 18 runs and seven stolen bases in 22 September contests. Overall, Bolte is slashing .277/.359/.407 with 11 homers, 38 RBI, 57 runs and 21 stolen bases in 117 games.

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.

Anthony went 3-for-3 with a walk, two doubles, a triple and three runs scored in the first game of Friday's doubleheader against the Cubs.

The 22-year-old was a menace at the top of Boston's order, and Anthony crossed the plate with the winning run after ripping a one-out triple into the right-field corner in the seventh inning. After going 1-for-3 with another walk as the Red Sox won the nightcap, Anthony sports a .267/.327/.485 slash line with 12 extra-base hits (six doubles, two triples, four homers), 10 RBI and 12 runs in 24 games since returning from a finger injury in late August.

Caglianone went 3-for-5 with a double, two RBI and a strikeout during Friday's 12-9 loss to Cleveland.

Caglianone recorded his fourth multi-hit effort in his last five games, picking up three base knocks. The 23-year-old got the scoring started for the Royals with an RBI double in the first and then added an RBI single in the fourth to take the lead. Over his last 30 games, Caglianone is batting a scorching-hot .358/.409/.491 with two homers and 21 RBI in 112 plate appearances.

Meckler went 4-for-5 with a double, a triple and two runs scored in Friday's 7-5 win over the Mariners.

Through six innings, Meckler had a triple, a double and a single, but he couldn't get the homer he needed for a cycle. He grounded out in the seventh and singled in the ninth. While he didn't claim a piece of history, Meckler still put up his fourth straight multi-hit effort. He's now batting .306 with a .775 OPS, three homers, 15 doubles, one triple, eight stolen bases, 27 RBI and 42 runs scored over 96 contests this season.
