Diaz went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run scored in a 6-5 loss to the White Sox on Wednesday.

After launching just 14 long balls over 145 games last regular season, Diaz has taken advantage of the cozy minor-league park the Rays have had to call home in 2025. The veteran infielder cranked his career-high 23rd homer Wednesday, and 17 of them have come at George M. Steinbrenner Field. Diaz has been one of fantasy's top four-category contributors since the start of June. Over his last 82 outings, he's hitting .327 with 15 big flies, 15 doubles, 44 RBI and 48 runs scored to help produce an .824 OPS on the year.

Keith is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

With southpaw Carlos Rodon on the hill for the Yankees, the left-handed-hitting Keith will retreat to the bench. Andy Ibanez will replace Keith in the starting nine, manning third base and batting sixth.

Alvarez went 3-for-5 with a double Tuesday against the Blue Jays.

Alvarez continued his tear at the plate, as he tallied at least three hits for the fourth time in his last six starts. He has five extra-base hits, five RBI and four runs scored in that span. In 13 games since returning from a hand injury, Alvarez has hit an impressive .444 with three homers, nine RBI and eight runs scored.

Santander (shoulder) won't begin his rehab assignment as scheduled Tuesday due to lower-back tightness, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

The injury doesn't appear to be a serious setback, but it's a worrying development given that the veteran outfielder has already been sidelined more than three months. According to Mitch Bannon of The Athletic, there's optimism Santander will be in the lineup with Triple-A Buffalo before the end of the week.

Pederson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.

Pederson will join fellow left-handed hitters Alejandro Osuna, Josh Smith, Rowdy Tellez and Dustin Harris on the bench as the Rangers stock up on right-handed bats to counter southpaw Framber Valdez. Jonah Heim will assume designated-hitter duties with Pederson out of the lineup.

Larnach is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.

Larnach started the previous six games and will receive a day off after going 9-for-25 (.260 average) with a double, a steal, two RBI and two runs during that span. Edouard Julien is batting seventh as the designated hitter for the series finale in Kansas City.

Jensen went 1-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Saturday's victory over the Twins.

The recently promoted prospect notched his first big-league hit with an RBI double in the fourth inning off Thomas Hatch, later adding another run driven in with a groundout in the sixth inning. Jensen is 1-for-7 with a double, a walk and two RBI through his first three games in the majors. Some adjustment at the next level is to be expected, but the Royals are incredibly high on the catcher because of his power potential and advanced plate discipline at age 22.

Alvarez went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Saturday's 11-0 win over the Rangers.

The 28-year-old launched his sixth homer of the season in the fifth inning off Jacob deGrom, marking his third long ball in 11 games since returning from the injured list, a stretch in which he's gone 17-for-37 (.459) with nine RBI and eight runs scored. Alverez added another RBI with a single later in the contest. Saturday's effort also gave the slugger multiple hits in five of his last seven contests, a sign he's quickly regained form as a consistent middle-of-the-order threat for Houston.

Stanton isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Blue Jays.

Stanton will get a chance to catch his breath Saturday after going 2-for-4 with a home run in Friday's series opener. While he rests, Aaron Judge will serve as the Yankees' designated hitter, with Jasson Dominguez, Trent Grisham and Cody Bellinger in the outfield.

Manzardo went 1-for-2 with a walk and a solo home run in Thursday's 4-3 loss to Tampa Bay. He was also hit by a pitch.

Jose Ramirez and Manzardo belted back-to-back home runs to lead off the ninth inning, but that's where the Guardians' comeback stalled. The homer was Manzardo's 25th of the season and fourth in the last seven games. Earlier in the year, the lefty-hitting Manzardo started against right-handers only, but now manager Stephen Vogt is using him against lefties, too. Manzardo started the last three times the Guardians faced a southpaw starter as the club still has postseason hopes.
