Stanton is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rangers.

With a .970 OPS since the All-Star break, Stanton has been one of the Yankees' hottest hitters over the past two and a half weeks, but he looks like he'll have to settle for more of a part-time role for the foreseeable future. Aaron Judge returned from the injured list Tuesday but will be likely be limited to playing designated hitter for at least the next few weeks while his right flexor strain affects his throwing, and the Yankees won't be looking to bench the two-time AL MVP in favor of Stanton. Instead, the Yankees plan on eventually giving Stanton some exposure to the corner outfield, but the 35-year-old is still waiting to make his 2025 debut on defense. Given his durability concerns, Stanton likely won't be asked to play right or left field on an everyday basis once the Yankees are comfortable deploying him on defense, and the lack of consistent starting opportunities could be enough to make him a drop in many fantasy leagues even while he continues to hit well.

The Twins scratched Larnach from the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers due to left side soreness, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Larnach had been slated to start in left field and bat seventh, but the Twins pulled him from the lineup about an hour before first pitch. The severity of Larnach's injury isn't yet known, but he'll effectively get two days off to heal up from the side issue, as the Twins are off the schedule Thursday before opening up a series with the Royals on Friday.

Manzardo is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets.

Manzardo and fellow left-handed hitters Daniel Schneemann, Bo Naylor and Nolan Jones will head to the bench for the second time in the series while the Mets send southpaw David Peterson to the hill for the finale. David Fry will replace Manzardo as the Guardians' designated hitter and will bat cleanup.

Alvarez (hand) took batting practice on the field Tuesday, MLB.com reports.

Alvarez is at the team's spring training facility in Florida and continued his hitting progression. His last known activity was hitting off a tee and soft-toss pitches, so Tuesday represented a step forward. Alvarez was last known to be targeting a mid-August return, but the situation remains murky.

Keaschall went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Tuesday's win against the Tigers.

In his first MLB at-bat since April 25, Keaschall ripped a two-run shot for his first career home run. He later knocked an RBI single in the fifth inning. Keaschall fractured his forearm in April but picked up right where he left off before the injury. He's produced a 1.185 OPS with five RBI and five stolen bases through 30 plate appearances.

The Twins reinstated Keaschall (forearm) from the 60-day injured list, and he's starting at second base and batting fifth Tuesday against the Tigers.

The rookie second baseman had been sidelined since late April due to a fractured forearm, but he's back on the active roster after a 14-game rehab assignment. Keaschall played in just seven MLB games prior to the injury but had a hot start to his career, going 7-for-19 with three doubles and five steals in 26 plate appearances.

Stanton went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and two walks in Monday's extra-inning loss to Texas.

Stanton's long ball was a 427-foot laser to center field in the fourth inning. The slugger has done his best to prop up New York's offense in the absence of Aaron Judge (elbow) -- since Judge last played July 25, Stanton has four homers and 10 RBI in nine games. He's also struck out 16 times during that span, but as long as he continues to mash, he should be an everyday presence in both the Yankees' and fantasy managers' lineups.

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

After starting against a pair of right-handed pitchers to close out the Yankees' weekend series with the Marlins, the left-handed-hitting Rice will begin Monday's contest on the bench while southpaw Patrick Corbin toes the rubber for the Rangers. With Rice out of the lineup, Paul Goldschmidt will start at first base, Giancarlo Stanton will serve as the Yankees' designated hitter and Austin Wells will start at catcher.

Springer (concussion) is slated to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Buffalo on Wednesday, Hazel Mae of Sportsnet reports.

Springer was hit in the head with a pitch July 28 and was placed on the 7-day Friday after he was diagnosed with concussion symptoms. He's made enough progress in his recovery to begin a rehab assignment, and barring any setbacks, he could rejoin the Blue Jays for their three-game weekend road series against the Dodgers. Springer was hot at the plate in the 11 games following the All-Star break, going 19-for-44 (.432) with two home runs, one steal, four RBI and 13 runs.

Keaschall (forearm) is likely to be activated from the 60-day injured list prior to Tuesday's game in Detroit, Bobby Nightengale of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

The Twins elected not to activate Keaschall from the IL this past Friday when he was first eligible. However, he has a locker in the Twins clubhouse at Comerica Park, indicating that Keaschall's activation is imminent. The rookie has been shelved since late April with a fractured right forearm. Keaschall should see something close to everyday playing time over the final two months, perhaps in a super-utility role.
