  • Luke Keaschall 2B | MIN

    Twins' Luke Keaschall: Takes live batting practice

    Keaschall (forearm) took batting practice and faced live pitching Tuesday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

    Keaschall will likely soon start playing rehab games. The 22-year-old was given a recovery timeline of two months or more after being diagnosed with a fractured right forearm in late April. He'll likely need a lengthy rehab assignment, so it looks like he could return in late July or early August at this point.

  • Jorge Soler DH | LAA

    Angels' Jorge Soler: Getting Tuesday off

    Soler isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rangers, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

    Soler will grab a seat on the bench Tuesday after going 4-for-24 wtih a homer, three RBI and two runs scored in seven games since returning from the IL. LaMonte Wade will take his place in right field and bat eighth.

  • David Fry C | CLE

    Guardians' David Fry: Provides cushion in win

    Fry went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Monday's 7-5 win over the Astros.

    Fry provided insurance with a solo blast in the ninth inning, paving the way for Cleveland to snap a 10-game losing streak. He continues to be the designated hitter against left-handers, but Fry doesn't have a lock on that role. Since being reinstated from the 60-day injured list, he's batting .153 (9-for-59) with three home runs and five RBI over 26 games.

  • Blue Jays' Anthony Santander: Still not hitting

    Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Monday that Santander (shoulder) has not resumed hitting but could do so "hopefully soon," Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Santander's progress from a left shoulder subluxation has been slow, as he's already missed nearly six weeks of action and still isn't ready to swing a bat. Once cleared to swing, Santander will need time to ramp things back up and is sure to require a rehab assignment before being activated. He is not eligible to return until late July after being shifted to the 60-day injured list last week.

  • Kyle Manzardo 1B | CLE

    Guardians' Kyle Manzardo: Goes on family emergency list

    The Guardians placed Manzardo on the family medical emergency list Monday.

    By rule, Manzardo must miss the team's next three games and a maximum of seven contests. The Guardians could mix and match at designated hitter against right-handed pitching until Manzardo returns to the lineup.

  • Red Sox's Masataka Yoshida: Likely returning Wednesday

    Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Monday that Yoshida (shoulder) will "most likely" be activated from the 60-day injured list Wednesday, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

    Yoshida has played five rehab games between Double-A Portland and Triple-A Worcester, going 4-for-14 with a 2:2 K:BB. He is with the Red Sox in Boston and will go through a workout Monday and "probably" another one Tuesday, according to Cora, before being activated for his season debut if all goes well. Yoshida's role upon his return is unclear, as Boston has already been struggling to find regular playing time for all its outfield and designated-hitter options. Yoshida made three starts at DH and two in left field during his rehab assignment.

  • Mike Trout CF | LAA

    Angels' Mike Trout: Hits 14th homer Sunday

    Trout went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's loss to Toronto.

    Trout got the Angels on the board with a first-inning solo shot and also reached via a free pass for the fourth straight contest. While the veteran slugger has reached base safely in each of the past 11 games in which he's started, he doesn't have any multi-hit performances during that span, though he's posted a 15:14 BB:K . Trout has played 63 games this season (already more than he played in 2024 or 2021) and is slashing .231/.254/.443 with 14 home runs, 32 RBI, 32 runs and two stolen bases.

  • Yandy Diaz 1B | TB

    Rays' Yandy Diaz: Doubles, scores twice

    Diaz went 2-for-5 with a double, two runs scored and an RBI in Sunday's extra-inning win over Minnesota.

    Diaz started the day 0-for-3 before singling and scoring a run in the eighth inning. He then ripped an RBI double and scored again in the 10th. After six straight games with multiple hits in late June, Diaz has produced four multi-hit performances over his last 11 appearances. The veteran slugger is now slashing .289/.345/.472 with 33 extra-base hits and 52 RBI through 84 games.

  • Ben Rice C | NYY

    Yankees' Ben Rice: Resting Sunday

    Rice is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.

    Rice will head to the bench after starting three of the last four games and going 4-for-15 with two doubles, a walk, two RBI and two runs. The Yankees will open Sunday's contest with Austin Wells behind the plate, Paul Goldschmidt at first base and Giancarlo Stanton as their designated hitter.

  • Jorge Soler DH | LAA

    Angels' Jorge Soler: Resting Sunday

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

    Soler will get a breather after struggling at the dish since being activated from the injured list Tuesday, going 2-for-15 with a home run and a 3:9 BB:K in five games. Gustavo Campero will cover right field and bat eighth.
