Grissom went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Friday's 7-6 extra-inning loss to the Giants.

Grissom tied the contest with his blast in the eighth inning. Over 13 games in July, Grissom has gone 17-for-52 (.327) with five extra-base hits and 10 RBI. He has seen fairly consistent playing time since the All-Star break, splitting time between second and third. On the year, he's batting .255 with a .720 OPS, a career-high six homers, 40 RBI, 25 runs scored and 13 doubles over 63 contests.

Goldschmidt went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 1-0 win over the Phillies.

Goldschmidt was responsible for Friday's lone run with a solo homer off Jesus Luzardo in the fourth inning. It was Goldschmidt's 16th home run of the season, which is tied with Jazz Chisholm for third-most on the Yankees behind Ben Rice (30) and Aaron Judge (ribs) (17). Goldschmidt has a .798 OPS with one steal and 43 RBI over 282 plate appearances this season.

Rice went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader split with the Pirates.

The 27-year-old slugger took Carmen Mlodzinski deep in the seventh inning to account for all of the Yankees' offense in a 5-3 loss. After going 0-for-4 in the nightcap, Rice sports a .277/.366/.590 slash line through 97 games on the season with 30 homers -- fourth in the majors behind Yordan Alvarez (34), Kyle Schwarber (33) and Hunter Goodman (31).

Naylor went 2-for-4 with a double, two runs scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the Reds.

Naylor's up to 21 stolen bases on the season, with three coming in his last four games. The first baseman has been hot at the plate as well, logging at least one hit in 13 of his last 14 contests while going 8-for-17 (.471) over his last four games. Overall, Naylor is slashing .261/.323/.359 with eight home runs, 39 runs scored and 37 RBI across 412 plate appearances this season.

Manzardo went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, a double, an additional RBI and additional run scored in a 10-6 loss to the Twins on Wednesday.

Manzardo has started just two of the past five games -- sitting twice against left-handed pitchers and once against a righty -- but he launched his first home run of July on Wednesday and also produced his first multi-hit game since June 20. The 26-year-old is batting .151 (8-for-53) with a 5:18 BB:K in July, dropping his season-long OPS to .675 through 93 games.

Encarnacion-Strand went 3-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in a 6-3 loss to the Red Sox during Game 1 of Wednesday's doubleheader.

Encarnacion-Strand has made an immediate impact since being recalled from Triple-A Norfolk, going 6-for-16 with two home runs and four RBI over four games for the Orioles thus far. With Blaze Alexander (hand) and Samuel Basallo (shoulder) both on the injured list, the door is open for Encarnacion-Strand to claim a steady role either at third base or designated hitter if he continues to wield a hot bat.

Torkelson went 2-for-3 with a walk, a solo home run and two additional runs scored in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Cubs.

Torkelson hit his 19th home run of the season in the second inning against Chicago starter Colin Rea. The slugging first baseman has now gone deep five times across his last 11 games as he continues to find his power stroke following a slow start to the season. Torkelson is seeking his second straight 30-homer campaign and third overall in his MLB career.

Hoskins is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Twins, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

Hoskins slugged a pair of solo home runs in Monday's 13-4 win, but he couldn't keep the momentum going Tuesday, as he went 0-for-2 at the dish in the Guardians' 5-2 victory. He'll head to the bench for the series finale, but Hoskins should still have a path to a semi-regular role until the Guardians bring Angel Martinez (foot) back from the injured list.

Goldschmidt is absent from the lineup for the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader versus the Pirates.

Ben Rice will handle first base, and Spencer Jones will grab a start at designated hitter. Goldschmidt will likely be back in the lineup for the second game of the twin bill.

Naylor went 3-for-4 with a stolen base in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Reds.

Naylor has five steals over his last 10 games and has gone 12-for-36 (.333) at the plate in that span. The first baseman continues to provide unexpected contributions in steals -- he's up to 20 this season after swiping 30 bags between Seattle and Arizona in the 2025 regular season. Naylor is batting .258 with a .676 OPS, eight home runs, 37 RBI, 37 runs scored and 12 doubles over 95 contests this year.
