Cortes is not in the Athletics' starting lineup against the Yankees on Saturday.

Cortes is out of the A's lineup for a second consecutive game, though the Yankees are sending southpaw Ryan Weathers to the mound for Saturday's contest. Colby Thomas will draw the start in right field and bat out of the leadoff spot.

Martinez was removed from Saturday's game against the Red Sox with left foot inflammation, Paul Hoynes of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

It's unknown whether Martinez's foot will cause him to miss time beyond Saturday, but the Guardians will likely send him in for medical testing and should provide more information soon. Stuart Fairchild entered the game as Martinez's replacement and would be the favorite to pick up starts in the outfield during his possible absence.

The Giants recalled Brennan from Triple-A Sacramento on Saturday.

After being sent to Triple-A on Friday, Brennan will turn right back around and rejoin the active roster as an injury replacement for Harrison Bader (foot). Brennan has gone just 2-for-23 at the plate in the majors this season and will likely work primarily as an outfield depth piece.

The Giants placed Bader on the 10-day injured list Saturday with plantar fasciitis.

Bader missed a few weeks earlier in the season due to a hamstring strain, and he's now due for at least another 10 days on the injured list after being diagnosed with plantar fasciitis. Drew Gilbert is likely to receive the bulk of starts in center field while Bader is on the shelf, and Will Brennan will rejoin the big club to provide outfield depth.

Myers was scratched from the lineup for Saturday's game against Atlanta due to an illness, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.

Myers' illness will prevent him from starting Saturday, but he'll likely need to miss just a day or two before returning to action. TJ Friedl will enter the lineup as Cincinnati's center fielder and bat ninth.

Bader isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Colorado, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Bader notched a base hit and an RBI in Friday's series opener, but he'll retreat to the bench to begin Saturday's contest. While he sits, Casey Schmitt, Drew Gilbert and Jung Hoo Lee will form San Francisco's outfield trio.

Frelick isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Astros.

Frelick has gone 7-for-33 (.212) with six RBI, three runs and three steals across his last 10 games and will now receive a day off. Jake Bauers will replace him as Milwaukee's right fielder, giving Andrew Vaughn a start at first base.

Carter, who isn't starting Saturday versus the Royals, is getting "precautionary" X-rays on his left foot, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Carter was hit on his left foot by an 86.9-mph slider from Eli Morgan in the seventh inning on Friday. He was able to stay in the game, but he's still feeling some soreness, so the Rangers are sending him in for imaging. Michael Helman is taking over in center field in Carter's absence Saturday.

O'Hearn (quad) is expected to return from the injured list Sunday, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

O'Hearn has been sidelined since May 17 with a strained right quad and wasn't cleared to resume baseball activity until Monday, but a quick recovery will allow him to return to the active roster before the end of the month. The 32-year-old has been enjoying one of the best seasons of his MLB career this year, slashing .289/.368/.459 with seven homers, 29 RBI and 27 runs through 44 games.

Hill has been removed from Saturday's starting lineup versus Detroit due to upper-back tightness, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports.

Hill had been penciled in as Chicago's No. 6 batter and center fielder, but the back issue will prevent him from starting Saturday. In his place, Rikuu Nishida is starting in center field and batting ninth.
