Soler isn't in the starting lineup Saturday against Baltimore.

Soler missed two games recently due to a groin injury but returned to the lineup Tuesday and had started each of the Angels' previous three games entering Saturday, going 2-for-12 with two RBI and seven strikeouts during that span. There's no indication that the veteran outfielder has aggravated the groin issue, so for now his absence Saturday appears to be just a day off his feet. Recent acquisition LaMonte Wade is starting in right field against the Orioles in Soler's stead.

Yoshida (shoulder) began throwing from left field to second base Thursday, MLB.com reports.

Yoshida is increasing the intensity and velocity of his throwing, a sign that he has turned a corner in his rehab from a right shoulder labrum tear. The Red Sox are anticipating a return after the All-Star break; however, it's unclear what role awaits Yoshida. Boston recently promoted top prospect and outfielder Roman Anthony, who will need regular at-bats. Designated hitter isn't a realistic option -- Yoshida has served as the DH in the past -- because Rafael Devers has a grip on that position.

Polanco went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, a double and two total runs scored in Friday's 7-2 win over the Guardians.

Polanco's bat is coming around -- he's hit safely in eight straight games, going 11-for-34 (.324) in that span. The homer was his first since May 12 versus the Yankees. Polanco is up to a .266/.312/.484 slash line, 11 homers, 33 RBI, 23 runs scored and two stolen bases over 56 contests, though his power has dropped significantly since the start of May. He spent much of last month batting second, but he's been between fourth and sixth in the lineup over the last five games, and the move down the order seems to be paying off.

O'Hearn went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a double in Friday's 2-0 win over the Angels.

O'Hearn's 405-foot homer in the second inning proved to be the decisive blow in the Orioles' victory. It was a much-needed effort for the 31-year-old, who entered Friday mired in a 5-for-31 slump without an extra-base hit over nine games in June. On the season, he's slashing .310/.391/.502 with 10 homers, 27 RBI, 28 runs scored and three steals across 233 plate appearances.

Alvarez (hand) hasn't started hitting, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reported Friday.

An MRI on May 30 revealed Alvarez had a fracture in his right hand, and the Astros decided to shut him down from hitting until the injury was fully healed. Given Friday's news, the fracture hasn't healed yet. A timeline for return hasn't been established, but Houston could elect to keep him out until after its nine-game road trip -- which starts Monday -- ends.

O'Hearn is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Tigers.

The left-handed-hitting O'Hearn doesn't always sit against left-handed pitching, but he'll begin this one on the bench as the Tigers send tough southpaw Tarik Skubal to the rubber. Jackson Holliday is getting a start in the designated hitter spot.

Jones is serving as the designated hitter and batting leadoff in Thursday's game against the Orioles.

Just as he did Tuesday when Baltimore started a lefty, Jones will bat first Thursday against southpaw Keegan Akin, who is serving as the opener. Akin is only expected to work an inning or two, with righty Dean Kremer lined up to handle the bulk role. That could lead to someone like Colt Keith, who isn't starting, to pinch hit for Jones later in the contest.

Larnach is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rangers.

The left-handed-hitting Larnach will hit the bench while southpaw Patrick Corbin toes the rubber for Texas. Larnach is slashing just .167/.211/.259 (29 wRC+) in 57 plate appearances versus lefties this season, and the Twins could limit his exposure to same-handed pitching moving forward now that the team has all of its key outfielders healthy again.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone indicated Wednesday that Rice could see starts at catcher after Giancarlo Stanton (elbows) returns from the 60-day injured list, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports.

Rice caught two innings in Tuesday's win over the Royals, with Boone calling Rice's performance behind the plate "noticeably excellent." It's the fifth time this season that Rice has seen action at catcher this season, and while he has yet to make a start at catcher at the big-league level, it was his primary position in the minors. Rice is not going to overtake Austin Wells as the primary backstop for the Yankees, but mixing him in at the position will allow Boone to fit Stanton and others in the lineup. It would also greatly boost Rice's fantasy appeal if he's able to gain catcher eligibility.

Diaz went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run Wednesday against the Red Sox.

Diaz tied the game at 3-3 in the fifth inning with his 10th home run of the season. He has gone deep three times in his last 10 contests while going 15-for-39 with eight RBI and eight runs scored in that span. This run has increased Diaz's ISO to .169 on the campaign, which would be good for the third-highest mark of his career.
