Aranda went 2-for-3 with a home run, two total runs and three total RBI in an 8-5 win over Toronto on Monday.

Aranda got the scoring started with a sacrifice fly in the first inning, added a run-scoring single in the second and swatted a solo homer in the fifth. The 27-year-old had gone 11 games without a long ball coming into Monday, but he's otherwise been hot at the plate, slashing .469/.526/.594 with seven RBI through 10 games in May. Aranda has eight homers through 40 contests on the campaign, putting him well on pace to surpass the career-high 14 long balls he hit across 106 regular-season games in 2025.

Rice went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in a loss to the Orioles on Monday.

Rice got the Yankees going with a two-run blast in the third inning. Those ended up being the only runs the team would score, and Rice finished with two of New York's five total hits. The powerful first baseman went 0-for-13 in his prior three contests after returning from a four-game absence due to a hand injury, but Monday's homer suggests the issue is a thing of the past.

The White Sox signed Harris to a minor-league contract Monday, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports.

It's a return to the organization Harris started with this season before he went from the White Sox to the Astros via waivers last month. In 17 games this season between both stops, Harris has slashed .233/.333/.302 with no home runs, four stolen bases and a 6:7 BB:K. He will report to Triple-A Charlotte.

Naylor went 2-for-3 with a double and a walk in Sunday's 2-1 loss to the White Sox.

Naylor extended his hitting streak to nine games with Sunday's two-hit effort. After going 9-for-76 (.118) in his first 19 games this year, Naylor's responded by batting .397 with a 1.020 OPS in his subsequent 19 contests. Overall, the first baseman is slashing .255/.317/.383 with five homers, 20 RBI, 12 runs scored and seven steals across 164 plate appearances this season.

Pasquantino went 2-for-4 with an RBI in Sunday's 6-3 loss against Detroit.

Pasquantino plated the first run of the day for Kansas City with an opposite-field single in the third inning. It has been a difficult start to 2026 for the first baseman, as Sunday's two-hit effort raised his batting average to .200. The 28-year-old owns a .640 OPS with five homers, 19 RBI, 16 runs and a stolen base across 39 contests.

Clemens went 3-for-4 with two doubles and two runs scored during the Twins' 5-4 win over the Guardians on Sunday.

Clemens logged the first run of Sunday's game after scoring on a wild pitch in the third frame, and he crossed home plate a second time on an RBI single from Brooks Lee in the fifth. Clemens' three hits were a season high and his fourth multi-hit game of the season. He is slashing .209/.321/.374 with five steals, three home runs, nine RBI and 13 runs scored across 108 plate appearances this season.

Aranda is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox, Ryan Bass of Rays.tv reports.

Aranda will exit the lineup for just the third time all season, with Rays manager Kevin Cash electing to give the left-handed batter the afternoon off while southpaw Payton Tolle takes the hill for Boston. Ryan Vilade will cover first base for Tampa Bay.

Foscue started at first base and went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Cubs.

Foscue made a second consecutive start and swatted the first home run of his short MLB career. The infielder has just five hits over 58 at-bats across three short stints in the big leagues, but he's been given a clean slate by new Texas manager Skip Schumaker, per Kennedi Landry of MLB.com. He got the nod at second base Friday and had an RBI single, and the keystone is an unsettled spot in the lineup given the struggles Josh Smith (lower body) has before he landed on the IL. Either Foscue or Ezequiel Duran, who started at second base Saturday, could take hold of the position.

Goldschmidt went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in an extra-inning loss to Milwaukee on Saturday.

Goldschmidt started at first base and worked as the Yankees' leadoff hitter, which certainly paid off when the veteran slugger walloped a game-opening homer. He went on to add two singles and finished as the lone Yankee in the contest to record multiple hits. Goldschmidt has started five of New York's past six contests, though that's largely due to Ben Rice (who worked as the DH on Saturday) missing four games due to a hand injury. With that said, Goldschmidt has perked up with the bat in May -- after entering the month batting a tepid .179, he's since hitting .296 (8-for-27) with two homers, seven runs and five RBI across eight contests.

Kurtz went 2-for-4 with a walk, two doubles, three runs scored and a stolen base in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Orioles.

The 23-year-old saw his homer drought extend to 13 games, but he's hardly been unproductive during that span. Kurtz is batting .283 (15-for-53) since April 25 with four doubles, a triple, two steals, seven runs, eight RBI and a 9:16 BB:K, and his on-base streak stands at 33 contests.
