Robert is not in Baltimore's starting lineup against Boston on Saturday, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

Robert has struggled at the plate of late, going 2-for-20 with one home run, three RBI and six strikeouts over his last six outings. He'll be on the bench for the start of Saturday's game while Dylan Beavers, Colton Cowser and Heston Kjerstad man the outfield from left to right.

Lowe (neck) is starting in right field and batting seventh against the Pirates on Saturday, Erica Weston of Angels Broadcast Television reports.

Lowe was out of the lineup for the Angels' past two games while working through neck stiffness. The veteran outfielder appeared as a pinch hitter in Friday's game and has been cleared to return to the lineup for Saturday's contest. Lowe has gone 5-for-20 with three steals and a run scored over his last 10 outings.

Rafaela (quadriceps) is not in the Red Sox's starting lineup against the Orioles on Saturday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Rafaela will be out of the lineup for a third consecutive game while tending to quadriceps soreness, but he could be available off the bench for Saturday's AL East clash. Eli White will once again draw the start in center field and bat eighth.

Clark is not in the Tigers' starting lineup against the Guardians on Saturday.

Clark will get a breather after playing in both games of Friday's doubleheader against Cleveland, when he went 3-for-8 with two RBI and a steal. The Tigers will start Riley Greene, Zach McKinstry and Ben Malgeri in the outfield Saturday from left to right.

Isbel is not in Kansas City's starting lineup against Toronto on Saturday.

John Rave will draw the start in center field and bat seventh while Isaac Collins and Jac Caglianone man left and right field, respectively. Isbel has gone 7-for-34 (.206) with one steal, four RBI and five runs scored over his last 10 outings.

Dominguez was recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday.

Dominguez was sent down to Triple-A after the Yankees acquired Heliot Ramos from the Giants in early August, but the former is back with the big club after Trent Grisham (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list. Dominguez has appeared in 53 major-league games this year, slashing .230/.270/.380 with seven steals, six home runs, 14 RBI and 21 runs scored across 211 plate appearances. He should see some playing time in the outfield, though he figures to operate in a depth role behind Ramos, Spencer Jones and Cody Bellinger.

The Yankees placed Grisham on the 10-day injured list Saturday due to a right hamstring strain.

Grisham tweaked his right hamstring during Friday's game against the Padres. The injury is severe enough for the veteran outfielder to go on the IL, and the Yankees are hopeful that he'll be back with the big club before the regular season is complete. Jasson Dominguez was recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in a corresponding move, and Spencer Jones could see a bump in playing time in center field against right-handed pitching for as long as Grisham is sidelined.

Martinez (shoulder) is starting in right field and batting second against the Tigers on Saturday, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

Martinez sustained a left shoulder bruise during the second game of Friday's doubleheader against Detroit when he collided with Brayan Rocchio. The injury doesn't appear to be a major concern, as Martinez is in the lineup for Saturday's contest. He has gone 8-for-26 with one steal, two home runs, six RBI and six runs scored over his last nine games.

DeLauter (wrist) is not in the Guardians' starting lineup against the Tigers on Saturday, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

DeLauter suffered a right wrist sprain during the second game of Friday's doubleheader against Detroit. He's considered day-to-day, but it's uncertain if he will be back in the lineup for Sunday's series finale. Angel Martinez (shoulder) will start in right field while Jo Adell serves as the Guardians' designated hitter.

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

After going just 3-for-19 with two runs scored and five strikeouts in his last seven games, Yastrzemski will step out of the starting nine Saturday while Mauricio Dubon starts in left field, clearing the way for Ha-Seong Kim to start at shortstop.
