The Yankees announced Wednesday that LeMahieu was designated for assignment, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

After the Yankees elected to move Jazz Chisholm from third base to second base earlier this week, LeMahieu lost hold of his everyday role at the keystone. Though LeMahieu has prior experience at both corner-infield spots, manager Aaron Boone acknowledged that it's a challenge for the 36-year-old to hold up to the physical demands of the hot corner. Given LeMahieu's defensive limitations at this stage of his career, the Yankees didn't view him as a viable utility infielder, so the team will eat the approximately $22 million remaining on his contract once he passes through waivers. LeMahieu will have the ability to elect free agency after the waiver process concludes, but given his advancing age, lack of defensive flexibility and declining production at the plate -- he posted a .266/.338/.336 slash line with two home runs in 142 plate appearances for the Yankees in 2025 -- he may not have a long list of suitors on the open market.

Lowe (side) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

Though Lowe downplayed the left side injury after he was forced out of Sunday's 7-5 win over the Twins, he'll remain on the bench for a third straight contest Wednesday. Taylor Walls will fill in at the keystone for Lowe, whose 20-game hitting streak came to an end Sunday as he struck out in his lone at-bat.

Clemens is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Cubs.

The left-handed-hitting Clemens had garnered the last two starts at first base against right-handed pitching, but he will begin Wednesday's contest on the bench as the Cubs send righty Cade Horton to the bump. Ty France will start at first base and will bat eighth for the Twins.

Castro went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's win over the Cubs.

Castro got involved during a six-run eighth inning for the Twins, taking Porter Hodge deep to extend the lead. The long ball was Castro's first since June 13, and he's now hit safely in six of seven games so far in July. Castro currently sports a 10.3 percent walk rate, which would be the best mark of his career. He's slashing .269/.362/.436 with eight homers, 21 RBI, 39 runs, eight steals and a 27:64 BB:K in 269 plate appearances this season.

Holliday went 2-for-4 with a home run, two runs scored and two RBI in Tuesday's 7-6 extra-inning loss to the Mets.

The 21-year-old took Alex Carrillo deep in the seventh inning to give the Orioles a 6-2 lead, but the bullpen couldn't make it stick. Holliday has gone deep in back-to-back contests and is up to 12 homers on the season as he begins to realize his immense upside. Over his last 16 games, Holliday is slashing .300/.355/.500 with four long balls, two steals, eight runs and 10 RBI.

Massey (ankle) has been diagnosed with a hairline fracture in his right wrist as a result of a hit-by-pitch during a June 29 rehab game at Triple-A Omaha, MLB.com reports.

Massey landed on the 10-day injured list in early June with a left ankle sprain but suffered a new injury during his fifth rehab contest. He is expected to resume swinging a bat in a few days and will continue a progression based on pain tolerance. Massey was slashing just .202/.221/.258 for the Royals before getting hurt last month.

The Angels optioned Stevens to Triple-A Salt Lake on Tuesday.

Stevens started in all five games that he was in the majors for following his selection Thursday, the day that also marked his big-league debut. Stevens went 2-for-13 with seven strikeouts and zero walks during his time with the big club. His return to Triple-A Salt Lake coincides with Yoan Moncada's return from the injured list.

Lowe (side) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Tigers, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

The 31-year-old will sit for a second consecutive contest after leaving Sunday's game against the Twins due to left side soreness. It remains to be seen if Lowe will require a trip to the injured list, but a move to the IL wouldn't be surprising with the All-Star break less than a week away.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Tuesday that he has no plans to regularly use LeMahieu at third base, and he views the veteran infielder as a bench bat, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

Jazz Chisholm will make the move from third base back to his more natural position at second base, where LeMahieu had been serving as the Yankees' primary starter since returning from the injured list May 13. Though LeMahieu has ample experience at third base, he won't end up taking over for Chisholm at the hot corner, with Boone noting that it's a challenge for the 36-year-old to physically play the position at this stage of his career. Oswald Peraza will draw the nod at third base Tuesday versus the Mariners and looks like the favorite to see the bulk of the starts at that spot for the time being.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Tuesday in his appearance on Jomboy Media's "Talkin' Yanks" podcast that Chisholm (shoulder) will move back to second base.

Boone had already seemed to be leaning toward shifting Chisholm to second base, and Chisholm's bout with right shoulder soreness likely cinched the decision. Chisholm was out of the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Mets as he battles through the nagging shoulder problem, but he'll be back in the lineup Tuesday versus the Mariners and will cover the keystone. Oswald Peraza is slated to start at third base Tuesday.
