Caissie was removed from Saturday's game against the Dodgers due to right hamstring tightness, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

The 24-year-old walked and scored in the bottom of the second inning, but Esteury Ruiz then hit for Caissie the following frame. He dealt with a right calf injury earlier in the season, though the injuries seem unlikely to be related. Caissie is slashing .220/.288/.412 with 14 home runs, 58 RBI, 45 runs scored and a 27:123 BB:K across 330 plate appearances in his first season with the Marlins.

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

Carter will take a day to reset after going 0-for-7 with a pair of walks and four strikeouts over Texas' last three games. Ezequiel Duran will start in center field while Carter sits, allowing Nicky Lopez to start at second base while Josh Jung (calf) returns from the IL to cover third.

Benge went 2-for-5 with a home run and an additional RBI against the Yankees in a 12-2 victory Saturday.

The Mets hit three homers off Gerrit Cole, capped by Benge's solo shot in the third inning. The long ball was the rookie outfielder's first in his past 18 games, a stretch during which he batted just .246 with a 27.0 percent strikeout rate. Benge has experienced the typical ups-and-downs during his first MLB campaign this year, but he's held onto a starting job and has delivered solid numbers, including a .273/.337/.414 slash line, 17 home runs, 19 doubles, three triples, 76 runs, 57 RBI and 22 stolen bases.

Bellinger went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Saturday's loss to the Mets.

The Yankees were routed by their crosstown rivals, but Bellinger ensured that they weren't shut out with his RBI single in the fourth inning and solo homer in the sixth. The veteran outfielder's power stroke has perked up of late -- he's slugged three homers over his past four contests after going deep just once across his previous 46 games. Bellinger has also notched at least one hit in 13 of his past 14 contests and is batting .386 (22-for-57) during that stretch.

Marsh (foot) will start in left field and bat seventh Saturday against Atlanta.

Marsh was absent from the lineup Friday after fouling a pitch off his foot Thursday, but he was able to enter Friday's game off the bench. Now that he's had another day to recover, the 28-year-old will return to the starting nine and aim to turn things around after going just 3-for-20 to begin September.

Yastrzemski isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Phillies.

After going 3-for-3 with a walk during Friday's series opener, Yastrzemski will move to the bench to begin Saturday's contest. Mauricio Dubon will shift to center field as a result, opening up shortstop for Ha-Seong Kim.

Laureano (hip) has progressed to swinging off a tee and playing catch, but he isn't close to playing in games, MLB.com reports.

When Laureano underwent right hip surgery in early June, he was given a return timeline of 4-to-5 months. Though the veteran outfielder has been able to work his way up to swinging a bat and doing some throwing, that initial timeline doesn't appear to have changed. It still seems likely that Laureano's next game action won't take place until 2027, though there may be an outside chance he will return in October if San Diego makes a deep run in the playoffs.

Walker isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the White Sox, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Walker was pulled from Friday's game in the eighth inning after tweaking his ankle, and the Cardinals will hold him out of action for another day while he recovers. Jose Fermin, Nathan Church and Joshua Baez will form St. Louis' outfield trio while Walker sits.

Jenkins isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Guardians.

The Guardians are expected to use Joey Cantillo in bulk relief Saturday, so the lefty-hitting Jenkins will begin the game on the bench while Austin Martin, Emmanuel Rodriguez and Luke Keaschall start across the outfield.

Larnach isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Cleveland.

Larnach will move to the bench Saturday with left-hander Joey Cantillo expected to pitch in bulk relief once opener Daniel Espino exits the game. Austin Martin will start in left field and bat eighth.
