Justin Turner 1B | SEA
Blue Jays' Justin Turner: Heading to bench Wednesday
Turner is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers.
Turner will head to the bench for the second time in the series, opening up the designated-hitter spot for Daniel Vogelbach in the finale. Though he's begun to heat up in June with a .400 on-base percentage and .407 slugging percentage, Turner is still maintaining a .676 OPS on the season, the worst mark of his career since he became an everyday player in the big leagues.

Twins' Jair Camargo: Healthy again for Triple-A club
Triple-A St. Paul reinstated Camargo (forearm) from its 7-day injured list Tuesday.
Camargo started at catcher in Tuesday's 3-2 win over Louisville, going 0-for-4 with two strikeouts. The 24-year-old hadn't played for St. Paul since April 27 due to a right forearm strain but got the green light to rejoin the Triple-A club after going 9-for-26 with a home run, two doubles and three walks over seven rehab games between the rookie-level Florida Complex League and Single-A Fort Myers.

Twins' Trevor Larnach: Out against left-hander
Larnach isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Rockies.
Southpaw Austin Gomber is starting for the Rockies, so the left-handed-hitting Larnach will begin Wednesday's game on the bench. Willi Castro will occupy left field and Royce Lewis will serve as the Twins' designated hitter while Larnach and fellow lefty hitter Alex Kirilloff exit the lineup.

Ryan O'Hearn 1B | BAL
Orioles' Ryan O'Hearn: Sitting versus southpaw
O'Hearn is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game versus Atlanta.
O'Hearn is hitting .400 with a 1.086 OPS through 30 at-bats in June but will take a seat Tuesday as lefty Max Fried pitches for Atlanta. Adley Rutschman will rest his legs as the designated hitter while James McCann starts behind the plate.

Masataka Yoshida LF | BOS
Red Sox's Masataka Yoshida: Back from IL
The Red Sox activated Yoshida (thumb) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.
Yoshida has been sidelined since late April with a strained left thumb but recently was able to play in a couple rehab games with Triple-A Worcester, clearing the way for his return. He returns to a .275/.348/.388 slash line and will operate as Boston's primary designated hitter.

Ryan O'Hearn 1B | BAL
Orioles' Ryan O'Hearn: Drives in three in win
O'Hearn went 3-for-4 with a double and three RBI in Monday's 5-2 win over the Rays.
O'Hearn saw a seven-game hitting streak snapped Sunday, but he bounced back quickly. The 30-year-old helped the Orioles pull away Monday with a two-run double in the fifth inning and an RBI single in the seventh. O'Hearn continues to be a force versus right-handed pitchers, slashing .287/.344/.489 with nine home runs, 24 RBI, 25 runs scored, two stolen bases, six doubles and a triple over 189 plate appearances this year in a strong-side platoon role.

Giancarlo Stanton DH | NYY
Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton: Sitting out Monday
Stanton is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Royals.
Juan Soto is getting a day at designated hitter as he eases back into the Yankees' lineup, and manager Aaron Boone has opted against using Stanton in the outfield, so he'll begin this one on the bench. Stanton went 0-for-14 with seven strikeouts in the weekend series versus the Dodgers.

Justin Turner 1B | SEA
Blue Jays' Justin Turner: Not in Monday's lineup
Turner is not in the lineup for Monday's contest in Milwaukee.
Turner has been trending up finally at the plate recently in reaching base 11 times across his last six games, but he will begin this one on the bench. Daniel Vogelbach is at designated hitter.

Masataka Yoshida LF | BOS
Red Sox's Masataka Yoshida: Plays second rehab game
Yoshida (thumb) was the designated hitter for Triple-A Worcester on Sunday and went 0-for-3 with a walk and a run scored.
Yoshida served as Worcester's DH on back-to-back days to kick off a rehab assignment. Getting him time in the field is not as important as the plate appearances, as Yoshida is expected to be Boston's primary DH. He'll meet with the team's decision-makers Monday to evaluate his progression, per Julian McWilliams of The Boston Globe. The club hopes he can be activated later this week.

Wyatt Langford OF | TEX
Rangers' Wyatt Langford: Triples, drives in two
Langford went 2-for-4 with a triple and two RBI during Sunday's win over the Giants.
Langford recorded his fourth multi-hit game in the last nine while collecting his fifth and sixth RBI over that same span. Langford is starting to show some positive signs after a slow start to the season, lifting his average to .234 with Sunday's effort and hitting .286 with a double and two triples over this most recent nine-game stretch.
