Washington Nationals shortstop Jordy Mercer (calf) was placed on the 10-day injured list.

Cincinnati Reds relief pitcher R.J. Alaniz (calf) landed on the 10-day injured list on Saturday.

Tampa Bay Rays relief pitcher Sean Poppen was recalled from Triple-A on Saturday.

Jeff McNeil Not An Injury List Candidate

New York Mets second baseman Jeff McNeil (leg) was scratched from the starting lineup on Saturday against the Blue Jays.
