Saunders (groin) returned to action Friday, going 0-for-2 with a strikeout after replacing Daniel Nava in the sixth inning.

EDGE Analysis

Saunders had departed Thursday's game with a groin strain and subsequently left out of Friday's starting lineup, but his return indicates the absence may have been a simple precaution. Despite the lackluster return, the 30-year-old should be set to return to his starting role in right field this weekend, where he is slashing .246/.296/.413 this season.
