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

Young will move to the bench to begin Saturday's game after going 0-for-3 with a couple of strikeouts Friday. Daylen Lile, Dylan Crews and James Wood will form Washington's outfield unit while Young rests.

Caissie isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Pirates.

Caissie will get a chance to regroup after going just 2-for-24 at the plate since the beginning of the month. While he sits, Heriberto Hernandez, Jakob Marsee and Kyle Stowers will start across Miami's outfield.

The Rangers placed Carter (oblique) on the 10-day injured list Saturday.

Carter suffered the injury while making a diving catch Friday versus Boston and has subsequently been diagnosed with an oblique strain, per Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News, and he will miss at least 10 days -- though oblique issues often require a longer absence. Cody Freeman was recalled from the minors to take Carter's spot on the 26-man roster, and Michael Helman could see the bulk of the starts in center field while Carter is sidelined.

Arozarena (hamstring) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Nationals.

Arozarena tweaked his hamstring while attempting to leg out an infield single in the third inning of Friday's contest. He'll now miss his first start of the season to allow his hamstring to recover, which will move Luke Raley to left field Saturday while Victor Robles starts in right. Arozarena said Friday that he expects to miss just a couple of days, per Adam Jude of The Seattle Times, so a trip to the IL may not be necessary.

Butler went 2-for-2 with a double, an RBI, a run scored and a walk in Friday's 6-4 win over the Rockies.

Substituted in for Colby Thomas in the fifth inning, Butler made the most of his opportunity by reaching base in all three plate appearances. The outfielder was caught in a rundown in the seventh inning but was ultimately bailed out by a Hunter Goodman throwing error and came in to score the go-ahead run. Butler later added an RBI single in the eighth frame to provide some insurance. It has been a disappointing season overall for the 25-year-old, who is hitting .175 with four homers, 17 RBI, 19 runs and four stolen bases across 186 plate appearances. Those struggles have notably cut into his playing time, though Brent Rooker (knee) landing on the injured list could create an opportunity for Butler to get more opportunities moving forward.

Dunn isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Dunn snapped his seven-game hitting streak with an 0-for-3 performance Friday, and he'll now get a chance to rest Saturday while Noelvi Marte starts in center field, batting seventh.

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

Straw will retreat to the bench Saturday after going 0-for-4 with a pair of strikeouts during Friday's series opener. While he sits, Jesus Sanchez, Nathan Lukes and Yohendrick Pinango will form Toronto's outfield trio.

Crews went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's loss to the Mariners.

The 24-year-old outfielder got hold of a 3-0 fastball from Bryce Miller to lead off in the eighth inning and crushed it 440 feet to center field. Crews is still struggling to find his footing in the majors, slashing .189/.241/.324 through 20 games since being called up in mid-May with three homers, two steals, eight runs and eight RBI.

Wood went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's loss to the Mariners.

The 23-year-old star took Bryce Miller deep in the fourth inning to get the Nationals on the board, but they were already in a 5-0 hole at that point. Wood has homered in back-to-back games, giving him 19 on the year, and over the last 16 contests he's slashing a sizzling .344/.444/.656 with six long balls, four steals, 10 RBI and 18 runs.

The Yankees reinstated Dominguez (shoulder) from the injured list Saturday.

Dominguez landed on the injured list in early May with a sprained AC joint in his left shoulder and was cleared to begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A on June 5. Since then, he's gone 5-for-18 with two homers, three RBI and two steals across five games. Now fully healthy, the 23-year-old is expected to make regular starts in the outfield for New York following Trent Grisham's (hamstring) move to the injured list.
