Yoshida is not in the Red Sox's starting lineup against the Astros on Monday, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

Yoshida will be available off the bench while Roman Anthony serves as the DH and Jarren Duran, Ceddanne Rafaela and Wilyer Abreu man the outfield from left to right. Yoshida went 4-for-11 with one double, one home run and four RBI during Boston's three-game weekend series against San Diego.

Keith is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the White Sox, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

The White Sox are having right-hander Elvis Peguero open the game, but since lefty Tyler Alexander is expected to work in bulk relief behind him, the left-handed-hitting Keith will retreat to the bench for the series opener in Chicago. With Keith exiting the starting nine, Kerry Carpenter will serve as the Tigers' designated hitter and Andy Ibanez will start at third base.

Alvarez (hand) took batting practice on the field Saturday at the Astros' spring training complex in Florida, Julia Morales of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.

After he had previously been limited to hitting in the batting cages while he works his way back from a right hand fracture, Alvarez took a small step forward in the recovery process by facing off against pitching on the field. The Astros will likely want to see Alvarez complete several live BP sessions before clearing him to participate in simulated games or minor-league games, where he'll need to stockpile at-bats to regain his timing at the plate following a lengthy layoff from action. Houston has yet to provide a firm timeline for a return for Alvarez, who has been on the injured list since May 5.

Manzardo went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs in Sunday's 6-4 loss to the White Sox.

The Cleveland slugger posted his third career multi-homer game and second of the season in the series finale at Chicago. Manzardo cracked a 408-foot solo shot off White Sox starter Davis Martin in the fourth before returning in the seventh to slug another solo homer off reliever Jordan Leasure. The 25-year-old has been hot since the All-Star break, batting .368 (21-for-57) with five long balls, 15 RBI and seven runs across 18 contests. Through 368 total plate appearances, Manzardo is slashing .244/.323/.485 with 20 homers, 52 RBI and 34 runs scored.

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

He was on the bench for three straight games following Aaron Judge's return from the injured list Tuesday, but Stanton rejoined the starting nine in right field Saturday. His seven-inning appearance was his first defensive action since the 2023 season, and right field looks as though it will be his primary path to playing time in the short term while Judge's elbow temporarily limits him to DH duties. According to Max Goodman of NJ.com, manager Aaron Boone said he "flirted" with the idea of handing Stanton a second straight start in the outfield Sunday, but the Yankees will take a more cautious approach with the historically injury-prone slugger.

Gasper will start at catcher and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Royals.

Despite going 0-for-10 at the dish while starting each of the past three games at either first base or designated hitter, Gasper will stick in the lineup Sunday, this time filling in behind the plate while Ryan Jeffers serves as the Twins' DH. Gasper is likely to fade back into a reserve role once Matt Wallner (personal) returns from the paternity list in the next day or two.

Larnach (side) will start in right field and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Royals.

Larnach didn't start in any of the last three games while he managed a side injury, but he felt well enough to make a pinch-hit appearance in Saturday's 2-0 loss. He'll step back into the lineup and take over in right field while Matt Wallner (personal) remains on the paternity list.

Manzardo went 1-for-2 with two walks and an RBI in Saturday's 3-1 win over the White Sox.

Manzardo wouldn't let Steven Kwan's leadoff double in the first inning go to waste, as he gave the Guardians an early lead with a two-out, RBI single. He's hit safely in 13 of 17 games (16 starts) in the second half, slashing .358/.453/.585 with three home runs and 13 RBI during that stretch. The lefty batter, who remains limited to mainly facing right-handed pitching, has been more effective of late than he was in the first half of the season, when Manzardo logged a .217/.293/.442 slash line.

Larnach (side) went grounded out as a pinch hitter in his lone plate appearance in Saturday's 2-0 loss to the Royals.

Larnach had been out of the lineup for the previous three games due to left side soreness as well as soreness in both of his arms, according to Phil Miller of the Minnesota Star Tribune. However, his return to action off the bench Saturday suggests he'll rejoin the lineup soon.

Rooker went 2-for-5 with a home run, a double and four RBI in Saturday's 11-3 win over the Orioles.

Rooker put the Athletics ahead with a three-run homer in the third inning before adding an RBI double in the fifth. The 30-year-old is 9-for-33 through eight August contests, tallying four extra-base hits, eight RBI, five runs scored and a rare stolen base in that span. For the season, he's slashing .274/.346/.500 with 24 homers, 70 RBI, 73 runs scored and five steals across 518 plate appearances.
