Malloy went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Monday's 8-2 win over the Guardians.

Malloy opened the scoring with a two-run home run off Carlos Carrasco in the first inning. The rookie has now homered on back-to-back days and has seven long balls in 123 plate appearances this year. He also struck out three times Monday, bringing his season total to 42, but he has still managed an impressive .279/.380/.605 slash line in July.

Larnach is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Phillies.

Larnach will head to the bench along with fellow left-handed batters Matt Wallner and Edouard Julien as the Phillies send southpaw Ranger Suarez to the hill for the series opener. Reserve catcher Jair Camargo will get a turn as the Twins' designated hitter while Larnach sits.

Jimenez is absent from the lineup for Monday's game against the Rangers.

Jimenez will head to the bench while the White Sox go with Gavin Sheets as their designated hitter. While he had started each of the previous four contests, Jimenez has now received seven days off since June 26. He's turned in a .605 OPS with zero home runs over that stretch.

Alvarez went 4-for-4 in Sunday's 6-4 loss to the Mariners, hitting for the cycle for the first time in his career while finishing with two RBI and two runs.

Alvarez made history Sunday by completing the 10th cycle in Astros franchise history. He delivered a single in his first at-bat of the day, then followed with a solo home run in the fourth, an RBI triple in the sixth and a double in the eighth. The home run brings his total up to 20 for the season, a mark he has reached every year of his career outside of the pandemic-shortened 2020 campaign. Alvarez currently sits tied for eighth in baseball with a 163 OPS+ and is slashing .301/.385/.545 with 54 RBI, 58 runs and a 42:63 BB:K in 405 plate appearances.

Malloy went 1-for-3 with a walk and a grand slam in Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Blue Jays.

Malloy provided all of his team's offense, taking Toronto starter Kevin Gausman deep in the fifth inning with the bases loaded. The rookie now has six home runs through 35 games as he continues to show good power potential. He's also been striking out roughly 33 percent of the time, though he encouragingly didn't have any strikeouts Sunday and drew his 14th walk of the season. If Malloy can continue to refine his approach at the plate, he could be primed for a strong finish to the year.

Garver is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.

Garver has gone 0-for-6 with two walks and four strikeouts to begin the second half and will sit for Sunday's contest. Mitch Haniger will bat seventh as the designated hitter in the series finale versus Houston.

O'Hearn is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers while he contends with a sore left knee, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

The 30-year-old had his left knee wrapped following Saturday's 8-4 win after he was hit by a pitch earlier in the contest, but the lefty-hitting O'Hearn likely would have been on the bench Sunday regardless of the injury since southpaw Andrew Heaney is pitching for Texas. O'Hearn will have Monday's team off day to rest up ahead of Tuesday's series opener against the Marlins.

The Yankees will likely decide on a date for Stanton's (hamstring) return from the 10-day injured list by the end of next week, MLB.com reports.

Stanton ran the bases on the field Friday in his most recent step toward recovering from a strained left hamstring. Manager Aaron Boone said Saturday that the slugger "is in a pretty good spot" in terms of his progress and indicated that a return is a matter of building stamina. The Yankees haven't determined whether Stanton will go on a rehab assignment -- if he forgoes that option, he could be back in the New York lineup at some point during their series in Boston that begins Friday.

Yoshida will sit Saturday against the Dodgers, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Yoshida will get a breather as Boston faces left-hander Justin Wrobleski. Tyler O'Neill will handle the designated hitter role while Romy Gonzalez enters the lineup at shortstop after some shuffling.

Malloy will serve as Detroit's designated hitter and No. 2 batter in Saturday's game against the Blue Jays.

Malloy didn't appear in Friday's 5-4 win while the Blue Jays brought righty Chris Bassitt to the mound, but the rookie will crack the lineup Saturday versus southpaw Yusei Kikuchi. Malloy has shown decent pop in a part-time role, hitting five home runs across 33 games, though he's batting just .219 and has struck out in 34.5 percent of his plate appearances. He'll need to be a bit more consistent if he wants to earn more playing time against righties.
