While Alex Rodriguez has stood at the dugout railing night after night recently, the Yankees have moved on, peppering their lineup with younger players. Meanwhile, A-Rod’s average sits barely above .200. Where does he fit? He doesn’t. That’s the bottom line.

Every team has a throwback uniform, and everybody gets a big kick out of them. So now it’s time to vote on the best one.

After walking in the fifth inning Saturday, Jayson Werth now has reached base in 37 consecutive games, the longest streak in the Major Leagues this season.

Marlins outfielder Ichiro Suzuki collected his 2,999th career hit on a pinch-hit infield single in the eighth inning of Saturday’s 12-6 loss to the Rockies and nearly reached the milestone in the next inning.

The Padres didn’t give Phillies starter Jake Thompson much of a warm welcome in his Major League debut. San Diego’s first three batters reached safely to start the game, and four batters later Christian Bethancourt broke open the scoring with a bases-clearing double, with the Padres going on to win, 9-7.

The Giants’ offense got first crack by facing Washington’s Stephen Strasburg on Saturday night. Now it’s the Nationals turn to see how they fare against Madison Bumgarner in a possible October preview.

Perennial All-Stars Yadier Molina and Matt Carpenter left the Cardinals’ 13-5 loss to the Braves on Saturday with injuries.

The Tigers, who got a boost with J.D. Martinez’s return from the disabled list earlier this week, now have another major injury to overcome. Third baseman Nick Castellanos sustained a non-displaced fracture of the fifth metacarpal bone on his left hand in Saturday’s 6-5 win over the Mets when he was hit by a pitch, sidelining him for at least the next four weeks.

The Marlins’ Giancarlo Stanton hit the longest home run ever projected by Statcast™ at 504 feet, but Charlie Blackmon negated that with 810 feet of production on a season-high-tying four hits to lead the Rockies to a 12-6 victory on Saturday night at Coors Field.

Rangers outfielder Carlos Beltran exited Saturday’s 3-2 win against the Astros with a left quad contusion. He left the game after trying to score from first on a double by Rougned Odor to end the seventh. Earlier in the inning, Beltran hit an RBI single to give the Rangers a 2-1 lead.

Nationals first baseman Ryan Zimmerman was placed on the 15-day disabled list Saturday, retroactive to Monday, for the second time this season, this time because of a left wrist contusion. The team also recalled outfielder Brian Goodwin from Triple-A Syracuse.

Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper left Saturday’s 7-1 loss to the Giants in the top of the seventh inning because of a stiff neck. It is not known if he will play in Sunday’s finale against San Francisco.

Chris Archer had been throwing really well since the start of the second half and had little to show for it. He pitched at least seven innings in his last two starts, but his offense supported him with zero runs. On Saturday, he was sharp again and the Rays’ bats broke out for a 7-3 win over Minnesota at Tropicana Field.

It’s a simple formula: When Danny Duffy starts, the Royals generally win. They won for the eighth straight time when Duffy starts — a 4-2 hard-earned win over the Blue Jays on Saturday night at Kauffman Stadium.

The Blue Jays moved second baseman Devon Travis back to the leadoff spot on Aug. 1. He’s wasted little time in validating that decision.

The Tigers’ hopes to avoid returning Jordan Zimmermann to the disabled list proved short-lived. Detroit placed the veteran right-hander back on the 15-day DL after Saturday night’s 6-5 win over the Mets and will recall left-hander Daniel Norris from Triple-A Toledo on Monday to take his place in the rotation.

Sonny Gray left his start Saturday against the Cubs after five innings with a sore right extensor muscle, the A’s announced.
