The Yankees recalled Schuemann from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday.

Schuemann sports a .203/.362/.297 batting line with one home run, six stolen bases and a 16:16 BB:K in 23 games with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this season. He could be sent back down later this week if Anthony Volpe (shoulder) returns from the injured list.

Bazzana will start at second base and bat seventh in Tuesday's game versus the Rays in his major-league debut.

Bazzana will have a chance to work his way up higher in the batting order if he gets off to a hot start, but he'll open up in the lower third of the lineup. The 23-year-old was called up earlier Tuesday after slashing .287/.422/.511 with two home runs, 10 RBI, eight stolen bases and 18 runs scored over his first 24 contests with Triple-A Columbus.

The Guardians selected Bazzana's contract from Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday.

News broke Monday night about Bazzana's impending promotion, and the transaction is now official. The No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft, Bazzana has earned a promotion after slashing .287/.422/.511 with two home runs, 10 RBI, eight stolen bases and 18 runs scored over his first 24 contests with Columbus. Bazzana will take over as the Guardians' primary second baseman.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Tuesday during an appearance on Jomboy Media's "Talkin' Yanks" podcast that Schuemann will be recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to take the roster spot of the injured Giancarlo Stanton (calf).

Schuemann has slashed .203/.362/.297 with one home run, six stolen bases and a 16:16 BB:K in 23 games with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this season. The utility player could be around for only a few days, as Anthony Volpe (shoulder) has a good chance to be activated from the injured list later this week.

Schneemann started at second base and went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Rays.

Schneemann gave the Guardians a lead with his fourth home run of the season in the fifth inning before the bullpen let it slip away. Since Gabriel Arias (hamstring) landed on the injured list earlier this month and Brayan Rocchio was moved over to shortstop, Schneemann has been receiving most of his playing time at the keystone, or at third base when Jose Ramirez has served as the club's designated hitter. The Guardians plan to call up top prospect Travis Bazzana from Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday to take over as their everyday second baseman, but that doesn't mean Schneemann and his .978 OPS won't find a near-everyday role in the lineup. In addition to being capable of playing second base, third base and shortstop, Schneemann has experience at all three outfield spots.

Chisholm went 1-for-4 with a solo home run against the Rangers in a 4-2 victory Monday.

Chisholm produced New York's final run with a long ball in the fourth inning. He also committed an error to prolong the game with two outs in the ninth frame, but that didn't end up costing New York the victory. Chisholm didn't homer in any of his first 23 games this season, but he's since found his power stroke with three home runs across his past five contests. Over that stretch he's batting .400 (8-for-20) and has added seven runs, seven RBI and one stolen base.

The Guardians plan to promote Bazzana from Triple-A Columbus ahead of Tuesday's game against the Rays, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

Bazzana slashed .287/.422/.511 with two home runs, 10 RBI, eight stolen bases and 18 runs scored over his first 24 appearances this season with Triple-A Columbus, and the club has determined that the time has come for the 23-year-old's first taste of MLB action. Passan notes that Bazzana is in line to immediately take over at second base, which will pry opportunities away from Juan Brito and Daniel Schneemann at the keystone.

Grissom will start at second base and bat third in Monday's game against the White Sox, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

Grissom is coming off a big weekend series in Kansas City, where he went 5-for-8 with three doubles and one run while starting in two of the three contests. Both of those starts came against left-handed pitching, and he'll remain in the lineup Monday while Chicago sends southpaw Anthony Kay to the bump. Grissom looks poised to continue holding down the short side of a platoon at the keystone with Adam Frazier.

Frazier is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the White Sox, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

The Angels are facing a left-handed starting pitcher (Anthony Kay) for the fifth time in six games, and the left-handed-hitting Frazier's lone start during that stretch has come against a right-hander. Frazier looks poised to remain in a strict platoon at second base with the right-handed-hitting Vaughn Grissom, who will occupy the keystone Monday.

Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Gimenez is "banged up," but the infielder will be available off the bench for Monday's game against the Red Sox, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Gimenez is out of the lineup for the second straight game, and though Schneider didn't offer any specifics on what's ailing the 27-year-old, the issue appears to be a minor concern. The Blue Jays are facing a left-handed starting pitcher (Ranger Suarez) on Monday, which may have factored into the decision to hold the left-handed-hitting Gimenez out of the lineup. Ernie Clement will slide over from his usual spot at second base to cover shortstop in Gimenez's stead.
