Trout went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Mariners.

Trout capped off the Angels' four-run fifth inning with a massive 443-foot blast off Logan Gilbert, with the long ball including the 1,000th RBI of Trout's career. Though the 33-year-old has been able to serve as the Angels' everyday designated hitter since coming off the injured list May 30, he doesn't appear close to being ready to play in the outfield. According to Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com, Trout said prior to Sunday's game that he hasn't taken part in outfield drills since the Angels' series with the Mets earlier in the week, after he experienced some soreness in his knee. He still plans to ramp up his outfield work once the knee soreness subsides, but the Angels may not be comfortable having him serve as anything other than a DH until late in the season.

Yoshida will start at designated hitter and bat fifth in Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

Yoshida will make his second straight start against a right-handed pitching, and he could begin to find himself in the lineup on a more frequent basis with Ceddanne Rafaela seeing more playing time at second base to cover for Marcelo Mayer (wrist), temporarily relieving Boston's logjam in the outfield/DH ranks.

The Rangers reinstated Pederson (hand) from the 10-day injured list Sunday. He'll start at designated hitter and bat fifth against Atlanta.

Texas optioned Michael Helman to Triple-A Round Rock to clear room on the 26-man roster for Pederson, who missed two months while recovering from a fractured right hand. Though he made one of his two rehab starts at first base, he's expected to be Texas' primary DH. Prior to the injury, Pederson had gotten off to a slow start to his first season with the Rangers, slashing just .131/.269/.238 over 145 plate appearances. On a positive note, Pederson had been striking out at a career-low 19.3 percent.

Manzardo went 2-for-5 with a double and an RBI in a 5-3 extra-inning loss to the Royals in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader.

Manzardo gave Cleveland a lead in the top of the 10th inning before the Guardians were stung by Jonathan India's three-run home run in the bottom of the frame. The RBI was the 10th in the last eight games for Manzardo, who has gone 9-for-27 with three home runs and two doubles during that stretch.

Diaz went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Saturday against the Reds.

Diaz led off the sixth inning with his 18th home run of the season, and his fourth in eight games since the All-Star break. He's hit .300 in that span while tallying eight RBI and eight runs scored. Diaz is well on pace to surpass his previous career-high homer total of 22, set in 2023.

Stanton went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 9-4 loss to the Phillies.

The game was already out of reach for the Yankees when Stanton took Daniel Robert deep in the seventh inning. The 35-year-old slugger has gone yard in three of his last four games, giving him seven homers and 20 RBI through 28 contests since recovering from elbow issues and making his 2025 debut in mid-June. Per Jorge Castillo of ESPN.com, manager Aaron Boone indicated after Saturday's contest that Stanton may see time in the outfield in August, as Aaron Judge (elbow) will need to DH when he returns from the IL. Until Judge gets healthy, however, Stanton is likely to remain New York's primary designated hitter.

The Rangers will activate Pederson (hand) from the 10-day injured list Sunday, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Pederson made two starts at first base prior to fracturing his hand in late May and made another start at first base during his rehab assignment with Double-A Frisco this week, but the Rangers intend to use him as a full-time designated hitter once he's activated. The 33-year-old slugger, who went 2-for-6 with a walk and a run scored during his two-game rehab assignment, had posted a .507 OPS through 145 plate appearances with the Rangers prior to landing on the shelf.

The Twins recalled Gasper from Triple-A St. Paul on Saturday.

Gasper will join the big-league roster to provide Minnesota with depth behind the plate while Ryan Jeffers is on paternity leave. The 29-year-old Gasper owns just a .488 OPS through 39 plate appearances in the majors this season, so Christian Vazquez will likely take over as the Twins' main backstop.

Pederson (hand) is two games into a rehab assignment and has gone 2-for-6 with one walk and a run scored for Double-A Frisco.

Pederson kicked off the assignment Thursday as the designated hitter and followed up at first base Friday. Per MLB.com, Pederson is on track to return for the Rangers' next road trip, which begins Monday against the Angels.

The Rangers optioned Freeman to Triple-A Round Rock on Friday, Matthew Postins of SI.com reports.

Sam Haggerty (ankle) is back from the 10-day IL, so Freeman will return to the minors. Freeman made his MLB debut earlier this month and appeared in four games with Texas, slashing .143/.143/.286 with one RBI, two runs scored and a 0:2 BB:K across seven plate appearances.
