Callahan isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Dodgers.

Callahan has notched a hit in both of his last two games, but the Tigers will keep him on the bench to begin Saturday's contest while Javier Baez, Max Clark and Ben Malgeri start across the outfield.

Duran isn't in the lineup for the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Yankees, Tommy Cassell of the Worcester Telegram & Gazette reports.

Duran will begin Saturday's festivities on the bench after going 0-for-2 with a strikeout during Friday's series opener. Eli White will fill in as Boston's left fielder and bat ninth.

Clark went 1-for-2 with a walk, a triple and an RBI in Friday's 2-1 loss to the Dodgers.

Clark drove in Detroit's lone run and actually gave the Tigers a short-lived lead with his third triple of the year in the bottom of the fifth inning. The 21-year-old rookie has been showing off his speed in the early going with the three triples and a stolen base, and he's also gone deep twice in 25 games. Clark certainly seems to be Detroit's center fielder of the future, and he should be primed to post big numbers in his first full campaign next season.

Suzuki went 3-for-5 with two doubles, two RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 10-8 loss to the Reds.

Suzuki recorded his third multi-hit effort over his last five games, and during that span, he's sporting a robust 1.173 OPS with three RBI and seven runs scored. This month, the talented outfielder is slashing .287/.385/.521 with four home runs, two steals, 17 RBI and 19 runs scored in 24 contests. It's been another outstanding season for Suzuki, and he'll remain a key offensive figure for the Cubs during their stretch run.

Veen went 2-for-3 with a walk and a run scored Friday against Atlanta.

Veen hit well immediately after being recalled in mid-August, but he entered Friday's game having gone hitless across his last six games and 10 at-bats while striking out seven times in that span. Veen snapped out of that slump with a pair of singles in the loss. He has started nine of 10 games against right-handed pitching since being promoted.

DeLauter served as the designated hitter and went 1-for-4 in Friday's 3-0 loss to the Royals.

DeLauter was back in the starting lineup after a hamstring injury forced him to open the previous three games on the bench. The hamstring has popped up twice this month, so DeLauter could stick in a DH role for a bit before returning to the field.

Friedl entered Friday's game as a defensive replacement and homered in his lone plate appearance in a 10-8 win over the Cubs.

Friedl belted a solo homer in the top of the ninth inning, which gave Cincinnati breathing room after Chicago drew within a run with a four-run eighth. It was the the fourth homer of the season and first since July 2 for Friedl, who cleared outright waivers earlier this week.

Lee went 1-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and two runs scored in Friday's 10-6 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Lee dealt with an elbow injury earlier in the week, which cost him two games. The outfielder played the full contest in right field Friday and appears to be good to go to reclaim his starting role. He's batting .289 with a .750 OPS, nine home runs, 11 steals, 47 RBI, 61 runs scored, 27 doubles and four triples across 123 contests this season.

Carroll went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run, a walk and a third RBI in Friday's 10-6 win over the Giants.

Carroll homered as part of a third-inning rally for the Diamondbacks, and he plated another run on a sacrifice fly in the sixth. He's been good for most of the month but had gone 0-for-7 over his previous two games. The star outfielder is batting .248 with an .830 OPS, 19 homers, 61 RBI, 82 runs scored, 28 doubles, 16 triples and 20 stolen bases across 132 contests this season.

Sosa went 1-for-1 with a grand slam in Friday's 5-3 win over the Angels.

Sosa was brought in to pinch hit for Brandon Marsh in the ninth inning and delivered a game-changing blast. While Sosa's playing time remains sparse, he has gone 11-for-27 (.407) over his last 10 games, dating back to July 29. The utility man is batting .235 with a .663 OPS, six homers, 39 RBI, 24 runs scored, eight doubles, two triples and three stolen bases across 212 plate appearances this year.
