The Yankees placed McMahon on the 10-day injured list Wednesday due to a throat infection.

Per Jack Curry of YES Network, McMahon is also recovering from an ear infection. McMahon hadn't played since Sunday, and with the Yankees' upcoming schedule being heavy against left-handed pitching, the decision was made to put the lefty-swinging third baseman on the shelf. He's expected to return from the IL when first eligible July 3. Jose Caballero, Amed Rosario and Oswaldo Cabrera could share the third-base job while McMahon is out.

Okamoto went 3-for-4 with two walks, a run scored and three RBI in Tuesday's 9-7 extra-inning loss to the Astros.

His two-run single in the eighth inning looked like it might give Toronto the win, but the bullpen couldn't make a 6-4 lead stick. Okamoto has six hits and seven RBI in the last three games, continuing a June surge that has seen the 29-year-old third baseman deliver a .324/.397/.603 slash line over 19 games this month with five homers, 12 runs and 16 RBI.

Vargas went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Guardians.

Vargas took Parker Messick deep in the sixth inning for a solo homer that ultimately stood as the game-winning run. The blast was his 17th home run of the season. While Vargas opened June with a nine-game hitting streak, he has cooled considerably since then, batting just .139 (5-for-36) over his last 10 games with his only RBI coming from Tuesday's blast.

Manager Mark Kotsay said after Tuesday's game against San Francisco that Gelof didn't suffer a fracture in his hand and won't require stitches, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

The 26-year-old suffered a laceration and contusion when Matt Chapman stepped on his hand in the second inning of Tuesday's contest, but it doesn't seem like Gelof suffered any major injuries during the encounter. That said, Max Muncy could still see an uptick in playing time if Gelof needs to miss a game or two.

Gelof was removed from Tuesday's game against the Giants with a right hand laceration and contusion, Jason Burke of Roundtable.io reports.

Matt Chapman stepped on Gelof's hand while the latter tagged out the former at second base in the second inning. Gelof came out of the game immediately afterward, and it's unclear whether his injury will force him to miss additional games. The 26-year-old failed to record a base hit during his lone at-bat of the game, marking the end of his 24-game hitting streak.

Caminero went 3-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in Tuesday's 12-5 loss to the Royals.

Caminero drove in runs on three separate occasions, highlighted by a solo homer in the eighth inning. The 22-year-old has enjoyed a solid June, hitting .289 with three home runs, nine RBI and 11 runs scored through 20 games this month. For the season, he's slashing .281/.372/.490 with 16 long balls, 37 RBI and 45 runs scored across 333 plate appearances.

Alexander (knee) is not in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Angels, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Alexander was forced to exit Monday's contest against the Angels early with a right knee contusion, and he will now miss at least one additional game as a result. Coby Mayo will draw the start at third base, batting fifth versus Los Angeles.

Guzman isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against Baltimore, Taylor Blake Ward of TheSportingTribune.com reports.

Guzman will take a seat Tuesday after going 0-for-3 with a walk during Monday's series opener. Vaughn Grissom will cover third base and bat second while Guzman rests.

Walton isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Orioles, Taylor Blake Ward of TheSportingTribune.com reports.

Walton has gone 13-for-27 with three homers, 10 RBI and four runs scored across his last seven starts, but the Angels will keep him on the bench to begin Tuesday's game. Oswald Peraza will start at second base and bat sixth.

Manager Aaron Boone said that McMahon isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against Detroit due to an ear/throat infection, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.

Although McMahon will be in the dugout for the beginning of Tuesday's contest, Boone noted that there's a chance the 31-year-old could be available off the bench. Jose Caballero will get the nod at the hot corner and bat seventh while McMahon sits.
