Diaz went 3-for-4 with a double, a run scored and a walk in Tuesday's win over the Royals.

Diaz collected hits in the first, third and fifth innings and came around to score in the latter. He's been on an unreal tear lately, collecting multiple hits in six straight contests and 11 times during his active 14-game hitting streak. During that span, he's gone 29-for-60 (.483), raising his season slash line to .289/.338/.470 with 29 extra-base hits and 36 runs scored.

Alvarez (hand) hit off a tee Sunday and is scheduled to do so again Tuesday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

It's the first time he's swung a bat since an MRI on his right hand in late May revealed a previously undiagnosed fracture. Alvarez has been shelved since early May and will need to go through a hitting progression and likely a rehab assignment before returning to the Astros' active roster.

Stanton is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game in Cincinnati.

Stanton has been on a two-on, one-off plan since returning from the injured list, and it's his turn to sit out Tuesday after starting the previous two days. Ben Rice is at designated hitter and batting second for the Yankees.

Keaschall (forearm) has started hitting off a tee, MLB.com reports.

Keaschall suffered a fractured right forearm in late April. It's encouraging that he's doing some activity, but he'll ultimately need his bone to completely heal before he begins a minor-league rehab assignment. He's not expected to return until some point in July at the earliest.

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

Rice came up big while making a pair of starts against Baltimore over the weekend, going 5-for-9 with three extra-base hits in the Yankees' series victory. Though he'll be back on the bench Monday as the Reds send southpaw Nick Lodolo to the mound, the left-handed-hitting Rice has made it increasingly difficult for manager Aaron Boone to take him out of the lineup when the Yankees face righties. In his 192 plate appearances versus righties this season, Rice has produced a robust .266/.354/.509 slash line (143 wRC+).

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

The left-handed-hitting O'Hearn hasn't been used as a strict strong-side platoon player this season, but he'll take a seat for the series opener versus Texas while the Rangers send a lefty (Patrick Corbin) to the hill. Coby Mayo will enter the lineup in place of O'Hearn as the Orioles' starting first baseman.

Triple-A St. Paul placed Gasper on its 7-day injured list Monday due to bilateral plantar fasciitis.

The severity of Gasper's injury isn't clear, but the fact that he's battling plantar fasciitis on both feet suggests he'll likely be sidelined for more than the minimum seven days. Gasper has put up a porous .488 OPS over 39 plate appearances with the Twins this season, but he's crushed Triple-A pitching, slashing .318/.418/.609 with 10 home runs in 40 games for St. Paul.

Larnach (hand) will serve as the Twins' designated hitter and No. 3 batter in Sunday's game against the Brewers.

Larnach didn't start the first two games of the series after being scratched Friday due to a bruised right hand, but he's made enough improvement to give it a go. The 28-year-old heads into Sunday's contest in the midst of a lull at the dish, slashing .176/.275/.353 with one home run, five RBI and five runs over his last 11 games.

Rice went 2-for-5 with a home run, a triple and two total RBI in a 9-0 win against the Orioles on Saturday.

Rice was the only Yankee with multiple-extra base hits Saturday, as he swatted a solo homer in the second inning and added a run-scoring triple in the fifth. The long ball was his first in 14 games and just his second in June. Rice is batting .173 through 52 at-bats this month, but he's at least managed to keep strikeouts down with a 17.9 percent K rate during that span.

Stanton isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game versus the Orioles.

Stanton is 5-for-15 through his first five games since returning from the IL, and he'll take a day to rest Saturday. His absence will move Aaron Judge to the DH spot while Jasson Dominguez, Trent Grisham and Cody Bellinger start across the outfield.
