Rizzo is not in the Yankees' lineup for Tuesday's game in Toronto, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports.

It's a rare day off for Rizzo in the divisional matchup. DJ LeMahieu will play first base and Isiah Kiner-Falefa will be at third base.

Diaz (groin) is not in the Rays' lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mets.

Diaz departed Sunday's game against the Yankees with a left groin injury. Tests came back clean and he's considered day-to-day, but he's not ready to play yet even after an off day Monday. Harold Ramirez will be at first base.

Mountcastle is not in the Orioles' lineup for Tuesday's contest versus the Angels, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Mountcastle is hitless in his last three games and in a 5-for-30 slide across his last eight contests, so he'll get a day off to regroup. Anthony Santander will play first base Tuesday.

France went 2-for-5 with an RBI double and another two-bagger in a win over the Red Sox on Monday.

France joined Cal Raleigh as the only other Mariner with multiple extra-base knocks in Seattle's 15-hit barrage. The high-contact infielder extended his hitting streak to 12 games in the process, a stretch that's seen him pad his batting average 39 points to .277.

Diaz is considered day-to-day after an MRI on his left groin Monday didn't reveal anything serious, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Diaz had to depart Sunday's game versus the Yankees in the first inning when his groin tightened up on him, but he's managed to avoid a serious injury. The expectation is that he should be ready to return to the lineup within the next few days. Diaz has popped 10 home runs and sports a robust 1.022 OPS for Tampa Bay this season.

Rizzo went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 8-7 loss to the Rays.

Rizzo has been red hot of late -- he now has three home runs in three games while going 19-for-48 with a 1.130 OPS in his last 12 contests. The 33-year-old first baseman is slashing .312/.395/.526 with nine homers, 27 runs scored and 22 RBI through 177 plate appearances this season.

Naylor went 2-for-4 with a homer, three RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's win over the Angels.

Naylor put the Guardians ahead 4-1 in the eighth inning, clubbing a three-run home run off Carlos Estevez. Naylor has now homered in three straight contests (all go-ahead shots in the eighth inning), going 5-for-11 with seven RBI in that span. The 26-year-old Naylor is heating up after a slow start to the year. He's now slashing .214/.271/.389 with six home runs, 26 RBI and 11 runs scored through his first 140 plate appearances of the season.

The Red Sox are actively shopping Dalbec, Peter Gammons reports.

Gammons reported two National League executives as the source of his intel. Dalbec does not have a path to a regular role with Boston, but both execs believe Dalbec can harness his power and play everyday at third base.

Diaz is experiencing some pain and will undergo an MRI after exiting Sunday's game against the Yankees with left groin tightness, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Diaz has apparently been bothered by the injury for the past few days, and he aggravated the issue during the first inning of Sunday's contest as he doubled and came around to score. The 31-year-old will undergo an MRI on Monday with the Rays having a team off day, leaving his availability up in the air for Tuesday's series opener against the Mets.

Diaz was removed from Sunday's game against the Yankees with left groin tightness, Ryan Bass of Bally Sports Sun reports.

The 31-year-old doubled and scored during the first inning but tweaked his groin while running the bases. Diaz will have a team off day Monday to aid in his recovery ahead of Tuesday's series opener against the Mets. Isaac Paredes stepped in at first base in his place Sunday.
