Yastrzemski (elbow) could return from the 10-day injured list when eligible Tuesday, Grant McAuley of the Marietta Daily Journal reports.

Yastrzemski has made encouraging progress in his recovery since landing on the IL on July 11 due to left elbow inflammation. Once activated, Yastrzemski should settle back into a strong-side platoon role in the corner outfield.

Gurriel isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against St. Louis.

Gurriel went 0-for-3 with a sacrifice fly in Friday's loss, and he'll now retreat to the bench to begin Saturday's game. Gabriel Moreno will replace him as Arizona's designated hitter, giving James McCann a start at catcher.

Wade is out of the lineup for Saturday's matchup against the Orioles, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

With southpaw Trevor Rogers on the hill for Baltimore on Saturday, Wade will be on the bench for Houston. The right-handed-hitting Zach Dezenzo will take over in left field for Wade and bat eighth for the Astros.

Duran is out of the lineup Saturday against Tampa Bay.

The left-handed-hitting Duran will ride the pine for Saturday's matinee against the Rays, with left-hander Ian Seymour taking the mound. Jahmai Jones will take over in left field for Duran and bat eighth for Boston.

Soto (calf) will serve as the Mets' designated hitter and bat second Saturday against the Phillies.

Soto was taken out of Thursday's game in the eighth inning due to calf soreness, but after getting an extra day to rest Friday, he'll now return to the lineup without missing any starts. The 27-year-old slugger has slashed .256/.434/.564 with four homers, 12 RBI, six runs and a 13:8 BB:K across 53 plate appearances since the beginning of July and is well on his way toward another fantastic campaign.

The Brewers recalled Perkins from Triple-A Nashville on Saturday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Perkins will rejoin the big club as the roster replacement for Sal Frelick, who landed on the injured list Saturday with a strained right shoulder. Perkins has had limited success in the majors this season, slashing just .157/.250/.258 across 101 plate appearances, and he will likely work in a bench role while Luis Lara receives the largest increase in playing time.

The Brewers placed Frelick on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a right shoulder strain, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Frelick has been playing through pain in his shoulder for multiple months, per Sophia Minnaert of Brewers.tv, and he made an early exit from Friday's win over the Marlins after aggravating the injury while making a throw from the outfield. He's set to undergo further testing to determine the severity of his injury and help establish a clearer timetable for his return. Blake Perkins was recalled from Triple-A Nashville to replenish the Brewers' outfield depth, though Luis Lara could end up receiving most of reps in right field in Frelick's absence.

The Yankees transferred Judge (ribs) to the 60-day injured list Saturday.

With Judge still not quite fully healed yet, the Yankees decided to transfer their captain to the 60-day IL. This move is retroactive to when the 34-year-old was originally placed on the 10-day IL on June 4, yet it will still likely be at least a couple more weeks until Judge is ready to go at the big-league level. Jasson Dominguez will continue to see extended playing time in right field in Judge's absence.

Friedl isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Rockies.

Friedl will retreat to the dugout for Saturday's contest after going 0-for-3 with a walk in Friday's win. While he sits, Dane Myers will patrol center field and bat seventh.

Schmitt went 2-for-5 with a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 7-0 win over the Mariners.

Schmitt singled in the fifth inning and subsequently stole second, marking his first stolen base since June 16. He added another base hit in the seventh before coming around to score. The 27-year-old has recorded at least one hit in five consecutive contests, batting .381 with five RBI, four runs scored and two home runs in 23 plate appearances during that time. He's now slashing .282/.309/.496 with 50 RBI, 43 runs scored, 19 long balls and eight stolen bases across 375 plate appearances this season.
