Manzardo isn't in the lineup for Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Nationals.

Manzardo will sit out the final game of Tuesday's activities after going 0-for-4 with an RBI and scoring a run during the early game. His absence will move Jose Ramirez to the DH spot, while Will Wilson starts at third base and bats seventh.

Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Tuesday that he has not had a conversation with Devers about playing first base with Triston Casas (knee) out and doesn't plan to, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

While Devers hasn't started a game at a position other than third base in pro ball, he would appear best suited of all of Boston's internal options to handle first base following Casas' season-ending knee injury. However, Cora plans to stick with Devers as his designated hitter and use a combination of Romy Gonzalez and Abraham Toro at first base for the time being.

Yoshida (shoulder) said Tuesday that he received a cortisone shot a few days ago and will remain shut down from throwing for three more days, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

Yoshida's throwing has not gone as well as hoped as he comes back from right shoulder surgery, as he still feels pain when tossing from 120 feet. He is able to hit without issue, but the Red Sox don't want to return him to the active roster until he's capable of playing the outfield. Yoshida is currently on the 10-day injured list, but with his return nowhere in sight, he's a candidate to be moved to the 60-day IL when/if the Red Sox need to free a spot on the 40-man roster.

The Astros placed Alvarez on the 10-day injured list Monday with right hand inflammation, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Alvarez had missed the previous two games with the injury, and while manager Joe Espada had indicated imaging on Alvarez's hand wouldn't be necessary, the designed hitter is now on his way back to Houston to have the hand checked out. The 27-year-old Alvarez dealt with nagging right hand inflammation a couple years ago, but it's not clear whether this latest injury is viewed as a recurrence. Jose Altuve will serve as the designated hitter for the Astros on Monday in Milwaukee, and Yainer Diaz and/or Zach Dezenzo will also likely see increased action at DH while Alvarez is out.

The Twins optioned Gasper to Triple-A St. Paul on Monday.

Gasper has provided the Twins with versatility but not much else this season, managing just a .488 OPS over 17 contests. He's among the corresponding moves to clear space on the active roster for the returns of Royce Lewis (hamstring) and Willi Castro (oblique) from the injured list.

Manzardo went 2-for-3 with two walks, a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Blue Jays.

Manzardo shook off a 1-for-14 stretch with his fifth multi-hit game of the season. The steal was his first as a big-leaguer and just his fifth since becoming a professional in 2021.

Alvarez (hand) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox, though manager Joe Espada said the slugger is feeling better and isn't expected to require medical imaging, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Alvarez was scratched from Saturday's starting nine due to inflammation in his right hand, and he'll sit for a second consecutive game in Chicago. The 27-year-old doesn't appear to be dealing with a serious injury, though the fact medical imaging hasn't been completely ruled out could indicate Alvarez will miss another game or two after Sunday.

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

After starting each of the last four games while going 4-for-17 with two solo home runs, a double and two additional runs, Rice looks to be getting a routine breather for the series finale versus Tampa Bay. Rice's absence from the lineup will open up a spot in the starting nine for Trent Grisham, who will cover center field while Cody Bellinger slides over to right field and Aaron Judge serves as the Yankees' designated hitter.

Devers went 3-for-5 with two RBI in Saturday's 4-3 loss to Minnesota.

Devers got the Red Sox on the board in the third inning with an RBI single to center field, and he tacked on another run in the seventh following a 72-minute rain delay. Devers' strikeout issues at the start the season are a distant memory, as the 28-year-old has driven in at least one run in nine of his past 11 games. Over that span, Devers has gone 15-for-44 (.341) with nine runs scored, three home runs and 11 RBI.

Alvarez was scratched from the lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the White Sox due to inflammation in his right hand, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Alvarez said his hand didn't feel right after hitting in the cages before the game, so the Astros will hold him out of action Saturday. The team will presumably take him in for imaging to see if he's dealing with any structural damage, and an update on his status should come in the near future. In the meantime, Victor Caratini will fill in as Houston's designated hitter and bat sixth.
