  • Brice Turang 2B | MIL

    Brewers' Brice Turang: Out again Saturday

    Turang (knee) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Dodgers, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

    Turang will miss a third consecutive start Saturday while battling discomfort in his left knee. He's scheduled to participate in fielding drills before the game, per Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, and there's a chance Turang could be cleared to return for Sunday's series finale if things go well. In the meantime, new arrival Jonathan Ornelas will start at the keystone and bat ninth.

    Pirates' Nick Gonzales: Available off bench

    Gonzales (face) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Red Sox.

    Gonzales will begin Saturday's contest on the bench after taking a pitch off his head Friday, but the team confirmed before the game that he's been cleared for activity and will be available to play if needed, per Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Jared Triolo steps in at third base, batting ninth.

  • Luis Rengifo LF | SD

    Padres' Luis Rengifo: Getting rest Saturday

  • Ji-Hwan Bae 2B | MIL

    Brewers' Ji Hwan Bae: Designated for assignment

    The Brewers designated Bae for assignment Saturday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

    Bae will give up his spot on the active and 40-man rosters for Jonathan Ornelas, who was acquired from the Athletics on Saturday. Bae went 2-for-4 with a run scored and a steal during his time with Milwaukee and will likely spend the remainder of the season in the minors if he clears waivers.

  • Brewers' Jonathan Ornelas: Lands in Milwaukee

    The Brewers acquired Ornelas from the Athletics on Saturday in exchange for cash considerations.

    Ornelas was pushed off the Athletics' 40-man roster Monday, but he'll reclaim a spot upon moving to Milwaukee. He'll report directly to the big club to help shore up the Brewers' infield depth as they navigate injuries to Brice Turang (knee) and Cooper Pratt (hamstring). Ji Hwan Bae was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

  • Kyle Tucker RF | LAD

    Dodgers' Kyle Tucker: Taking seat Saturday

    Tucker isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Milwaukee, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

    Tucker will get a chance to reset Saturday after going 0-for-16 with three walks and four strikeouts across his last five games. Alex Call will patrol right field and bat eighth in Tucker's absence.

  • Ketel Marte 2B | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Sitting Saturday

    Marte (knee) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Atlanta.

  • Rockies' Hunter Goodman: Scratched with shoulder issue

    Goodman was scratched from the lineup for Saturday's game against the Giants due to left shoulder inflammation.

    The severity of Goodman's issue is still unknown, but it will cause him to miss at least Saturday's contest. Brett Sullivan will step in behind the plate and bat eighth.

  • Reds' Hector Rodriguez: Sitting again Saturday

    Rodriguez isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Marlins.

    Rodriguez will miss a second consecutive start after notching just two hits in 23 at-bats across his first eight games in the big leagues. Noelvi Marte will pick up another start in right field and bat seventh.
