  • Rob Refsnyder DH | SEA

    Mariners' Rob Refsnyder: Lands on IL with knee injuries

    The Mariners placed Refsnyder (knees) on the 10-day injured list Monday, Adam Jude of The Seattle Times reports.

    Refsnyder has gone 1-for-17 over his last seven games, and his poor performance at the plate may have been partially due to injuries to both of his knees. A minimum stint on the IL would have the veteran outfielder in line to return to the majors July 9, though it's unclear whether he'll be back in action before the All-Star break. Buddy Kennedy -- whom the Mariners acquired from the Giants on Sunday -- will take Refsnyder's spot on the 26-man active roster.

  • Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton: Resumes running program

    Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that Stanton (calf) has restarted a running program and will take live at-bats against rehabbing left-hander Max Fried (elbow) on Tuesday, David Lennon of Newsday reports.

    Stanton paused his running program after experiencing a setback with his strained right calf June 11, so the Yankees could have the 36-year-old ramp up more deliberately this time around before he starts sprinting at full speed. Since Stanton has been on the shelf since April 28 due to the calf injury, he'll presumably need to complete a minor-league rehab assignment before making his return from the 10-day injured list. Stanton appears unlikely to rejoin the New York lineup until after the All-Star break.

  • White Sox's Andrew Benintendi: Hitting bench Monday

    Benintendi is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Orioles.

    Benintendi will be given a night off after he went 4-for-15 with a solo home run, a double and an additional run while serving as Chicago's designated hitter over the previous four games. Randal Grichuk will get a turn at DH in the series opener in Baltimore.

  • Cooper Ingle LF | CLE

    Guardians' Cooper Ingle: Exiting lineup Monday

    Ingle is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rangers.

    Ingle will head to the bench for the first time since he was called up from Triple-A Columbus on Friday. While making two starts at designated hitter and one in left field during the Guardians' weekend series versus Seattle, Ingle went 1-for-7 with three walks, two RBI and one run.

  • Yandy Diaz DH | TB

    Rays' Yandy Diaz: Hopeful to play Tuesday

    Diaz (shoulder) said after Sunday's 5-1 win over the Diamondbacks that he's "hurting a little bit" but is optimistic that he'll be able to play Tuesday in Kansas City, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Diaz went 1-for-2 with an RBI and an RBI before exiting Sunday's game due to a left shoulder strain. He appears to have avoided anything overly significant, and Diaz should be aided by the Rays' team off day Monday. The 34-year-old can be considered day-to-day ahead of the team's three-game set in Kansas City.

  • Mickey Gasper DH | BOS

    Red Sox's Mickey Gasper: Sent back to Triple-A

    The Red Sox optioned Gasper to Triple-A Worcester on Sunday, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.

    The 30-year-old had received fairly regular playing time between catcher and designated hitter since about mid-May, but his .486 OPS in 17 games this month will result in him being demoted. Romy Gonzalez (shoulder) was reinstated from the injured list and will take over Gasper's spot on the 26-man active roster.

  • Yandy Diaz DH | TB

    Rays' Yandy Diaz: Exits with shoulder strain

    Diaz was removed from Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks due to a left shoulder strain, Ryan Bass of Rays.tv reports.

    The veteran slugger went 1-for-2 with an RBI and a run scored prior to departing the contest. Diaz should be considered day-to-day as he continues to be evaluated, and he'll have a team day off Monday to aid in his recovery ahead of Tuesday's series opener in Kansas City.

  • Jorge Soler DH | LAA

    Angels' Jorge Soler: Receiving rest Sunday

    Soler is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.

    After making a surprise return from the injured list Monday, Soler served as the Angels' designated hitter for each of the team's ensuing five games and went 4-for-16 with a pair of home runs, four walks, four RBI and three runs. He doesn't appear to have experienced any setbacks with his oblique injury since returning to action, so Soler's absence from the lineup Sunday is likely just a planned rest day.

  • Josh Bell DH | MIN

    Twins' Josh Bell: Receiving rest Sunday

    Bell is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

    The Twins will hold Bell out of the starting nine for the second Sunday in a row in a planned rest day. Byron Buxton will get a day off from playing center field but stick in the starting nine as Bell's replacement at designated hitter.

  • Mariners' Dominic Canzone: Resting hamstring Sunday

    Canzonze is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians in order to rest his ailing right hamstring, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

    Canzone missed one game after sustaining the right hamstring injury last Sunday versus Boston, but he returned Wednesday and started three of the past four games. He doesn't appear to have suffered a setback and is instead just resting the hamstring, so Canzone will most likely return to the lineup Monday against the Angels.
