San Francisco Giants first baseman Brandon Belt has been activated off the COVID-19 list on Saturday. He has missed over a week of action after testing positive for COVID-19 in late April.

Dauri Moreta Will Be The Opener On Saturday

Cincinnati Reds pitcher Dauri Moreta will be the opener for Saturday's second game of the doubleheader against the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Andrew McCutchen has been placed on the COVID-19 list.

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton (hip) was forced to exit early during Saturday's game against the Oakland Athletics.

Washington Nationals outfielder Nelson Cruz (back) is being held out of the starting lineup against the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday.

Max Kepler Could Be Available Off Bench

Minnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler (illness) could be available off the bench for Wednesday's game against the Baltimore Orioles.

Steven Adams To Remain Out On Tuesday

Memphis Grizzlies center Steven Adams won't be available for Tuesday's Game 2 against the Golden State Warriors. He'll miss his second game in a row due to the league's health and safety protocols.

He posted 790 yards and 16 touchdowns […]
