  • Noelvi Marte RF | CIN

    Reds' Noelvi Marte: Moving to bench Saturday

    Marte isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Cubs.

    Marte will get a day off after going 0-for-3 in Friday's series opener. While he rests, the Reds will move Spencer Steer to right field and start Nathaniel Lowe at first base.

  • Jacob Young CF | WAS

    Nationals' Jacob Young: Absent from lineup

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

    Young went 1-for-4 with a stolen base during Friday's loss and will now retreat to the dugout to begin Saturday's events. Daylen Lile, Dylan Crews and James Wood will start across the outfield with Young on the bench.

  • Brewer Hicklen RF | ATL

    Braves' Brewer Hicklen: Recalled from Gwinnett

    Atlanta recalled Hicklen from Triple-A Gwinnett on Saturday.

    Since joining the 40-man roster in mid-June, Hicklen has slashed .259/.330/.506 with five homers, 20 RBI, 16 runs and four steals across 91 plate appearances. He'll now join the big club for the first time this season to replace the injured Mike Yastrzemski (elbow). Hicklen and Eli White will likely compete for starts in the outfield until Yastrzemski is healthy.

  • Braves' Mike Yastrzemski: Lands on IL due to elbow issue

    Atlanta placed Yastrzemski on the 10-day injured list Saturday with left elbow inflammation.

    Yastrzemski had tallied a base hit in each of Atlanta's last five games, but the team will be without his services until at least July 21 while he recovers from the elbow issue. Eli White could be in line for more reps in right field while Yastrzemski is out, though Brewer Hicklen -- who was called up from Triple-A Gwinnett in a corresponding move -- could also be in the mix for playing time.

  • Cole Carrigg CF | COL

    Rockies' Cole Carrigg: Riding pine Saturday

    Carrigg isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Giants.

    Carrigg will get a chance to regroup Saturday after going 0-for-10 with six strikeouts across his last three games. Mickey Moniak, Jake McCarthy and Troy Johnston will form Colorado's outfield trio while Carrigg is on the bench.

  • Drew Gilbert CF | SF

    Giants' Drew Gilbert: Doubles in defeat

    Gilbert went 1-for-4 with a double in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Rockies.

    After going hitless in his previous two games, Gilbert lined a double to left field in the fourth inning. Across 17 plate appearances in July, he's batting .313 with three RBI, two doubles and a home run. Overall, the 25-year-old outfielder is slashing .235/.319/.377 with 21 runs scored, 19 RBI and four long balls in 209 plate appearances this season.

  • James Wood RF | WAS

    Nationals' James Wood: Goes yard again Friday

    Wood went 3-for-5 with a double, a solo home run and a second run scored in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Yankees.

    The 23-year-old superstar took Tim Hill deep in the seventh inning to give the Nationals a 3-2 lead, but the bullpen blew another save in the ninth. Wood has left the yard six times in the last 10 games, slashing .417/.571/1.056 over that sizzling stretch, and his total of 26 homers on the season in just 95 games is five shy of the career high he set in 2025.

  • Derek Hill CF | PHI

    Phillies' Derek Hill: Big effort in Friday's loss

    Hill went 3-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Friday's 10-2 loss to the Tigers.

    Getting a rare start in center field against a right-hander pitcher after Justin Crawford (knee) was scratched, Hill accounted for all of Philly's offense on the night, including a solo shot off Jack Flaherty in the third inning. Over 48 plate appearances since being picked up from the White Sox in June, Hill's produced an impressive .356/.383/.600 slash line with three homers, seven RBI and nine runs, but his 2:19 BB:K suggests that level is unsustainable even if he remains in a short-side platoon role.

  • Brewers' Jackson Chourio: Opening twin bill on bench

    Chourio isn't in the lineup for the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against Pittsburgh.

    Chourio will begin Saturday's festivities in the dugout after going 3-for-21 with an RBI and three runs scored during the Brewers' last series against St. Louis. Luis Lara will fill in as Milwaukee's left fielder and bat sixth.

  • Andy Pages CF | LAD

    Dodgers' Andy Pages: Goes deep in three-hit game

    Pages went 3-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 9-3 loss to the Diamondbacks.

    Pages went back-to-back with Shohei Ohtani in the first inning to erase Arizona's initial 2-0 lead. This homer was Pages' second in his last 11 games, a span in which he has gone 11-for-39 (.282) with seven RBI and a 6:8 BB:K. Overall, the outfielder is batting .269 with an .807 OPS, 17 homers, 65 RBI, 55 runs scored, 21 doubles, one triple and eight stolen bases over 94 contests this season.
