Victor Caratini News: Getting breather Saturday

Updated on July 27, 2025 at 2:09pm

Caratini isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Athletics.

Although he owns a .999 OPS through 35 plate appearances against southpaws this season, Caratini will step out of the starting nine Saturday with left-hander Jacob Lopez on the mound for the A's. Jose Altuve will assume the role of DH while Caratini rests, opening up left field for Cooper Hummel.
