Reyes isn't in the lineup for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Rays.

Reyes provided Cleveland's only run production in Wednesday's matinee, as he went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a strikeout. Jose Ramirez will serve as the designated hitter in the second game, while Ernie Clement starts at third base.

Cabrera isn't starting Wednesday against the Rangers.

Cabrera has recorded multi-hit games in five of his last eight appearances, but he'll get a breather for Wednesday's series finale after he went 2-for-11 with three runs, two walks and two strikeouts across the last three games. Eric Haase will serve as the designated hitter and bat fourth.

Collins isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Twins.

Collins started Tuesday's game after Yasmani Grandal (knee) was placed on the injured list, and he went 2-for-3 with a double, two RBI and a run. Seby Zavala will make his season debut behind the plate and bat ninth.

Solak is not starting Wednesday against the Tigers.

Solak is currently in the midst of a 3-for-23 skid at the plate, so he will get a breather Wednesday against right-hander Casey Mize. Eli White will shift to second base while David Dahl mans left field.

Ohtani (4-1) picked up the win in Tuesday's 5-3 victory over the Red Sox, allowing two runs on five hits over seven innings. He struck out four without walking a batter.

The two-way superstar also went 1-for-4 with a double, a run scored and an RBI while batting for himself. Ohtani bounced back nicely after a disastrous last trip to the mound, and Tuesday's quality start was his sixth of the season. He'll head into the All-Star break with a 3.49 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 87:35 K:BB through 67 innings as a pitcher in addition to his massive hitting numbers.

Alvarez went 3-for-3 with a walk, two home runs, five RBI and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 9-6 win over Oakland.

Fresh off the paternity list, Alvarez showed off his "dad" strength Tuesday, clobbering a first-inning two-run homer, then a three-run job in the fifth. The second blast tied the game after Houston had fallen behind early. The slugging DH/outfielder has produced seven homers and 18 RBI over the last 12 games.

Stanton went 2-for-4 with a three-run homer and a walk in Tuesday's 12-1 win over the Mariners.

Stanton set the tone early with a 434-foot rocket to left field in the first to get the Yankees on the board. He also singled in the ninth to cap off a multi-hit performance. The long ball was his 15th of the season and his first since June 28. Overall, the 31-year-old is slashing .270/.367/.494 with 22 extra-base hits, 42 RBI, 29 runs scored and a 35:74 BB:K over 270 plate appearances.

Collins went 2-for-3 with a double, two RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 4-3 win over Minnesota.

Collins becomes a more significant piece to the White Sox after it was learned that Yasmani Grandal will miss 4-to-6 weeks with a torn tendon in his left knee. Collins has struggled at the dish in the majors, including at the start of 2021, but he's slowly building respectable numbers. Since June 1, Collins is slashing .314/.386/.471, upping his season average to .236 in the process.

Canha (hip) will run and play catch Tuesday and has a "slight chance" of being activated for this weekend's series against the Rangers, which begins Friday, Shayna Rubin of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Manager Bob Melvin said last week the outfielder would likely be unavailable through next week's All-Star break, but the 32-year-old is apparently progressing well in his recovery. Even if Canha is unable to return this weekend, his recovery so far indicates he should be available for the first game out of the break July 16 versus Cleveland.

Ohtani is batting second as the starting pitcher Tuesday against the Red Sox.

Ohtani will remain in the lineup as the pitcher despite his last start resulting in the Angels being forced to remove him in the first inning.
