Diaz went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Thursday against the Royals.

Diaz got the Rays off to a quick start, as he delivered his fourth home run of the season in the first inning. He continues to get on track at the plate after a slow start to the year, as he's gone 15-for-44 with only four strikeouts across his last 11 games.

Suzuki went 2-for-4 with a walk, two home runs and three RBI in Thursday's 8-3 win at Pittsburgh.

Suzuki broke a 2-2 with a solo blast during the fifth inning and added some insurance with a two-run shot in the fifth. It's the second two-homer performance of the season for the 30-year-old, who has hit three long balls over the past three games. Suzuki has been one of the better hitters in baseball early in 2025 with nine home runs, 28 RBI and a .295/.365/.625 slash line through 28 games.

Pozo said X-rays on his left wrist were negative Thursday, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

There was fear for the health of Pozo's wrist after he collided with Cincinnati's TJ Friedl at home plate during Thursday's game in Cincinnati, but the catcher appears to have avoided a serious injury. Pozo completed the game, going 1-for-3, and he finished 3-for-9 during the four-game series in Cincinnati.

The Yankees transferred Stanton (elbows) to the 60-day injured list Thursday.

The transaction frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for Bryan De La Cruz, who was claimed off waivers. It does not change the timetable for Stanton, who is not close to returning from tennis elbow in both arms. Stanton has made progress recently in taking batting practice, but it's not clear when he might be ready for a rehab assignment.

Pederson is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Athletics.

Pederson will sit for the third time in the four-game series while the Athletics send another southpaw (Jeffrey Springs) to the hill. With Pederson on the bench, Jonah Heim will serve as the Rangers' designated hitter.

Yelich is not in the lineup for Thursday's game versus the White Sox.

Yelich will get the afternoon off after starting every game since April 15. William Contreras will occupy the designated-hitter spot Thursday, while Eric Haase will do the catching and bat ninth.

Gasper is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Guardians.

Gasper will hit the bench after he had served as the Twins' designated hitter in three of the past four games while going 2-for-11 with an RBI and a run. The switch-hitting 29-year-old could see an uptick in opportunities while the Twins are without Royce Lewis (hamstring), Matt Wallner (hamstring) and Willi Castro (oblique), though manager Rocco Baldelli may prefer to rotate a number of players at the DH spot rather than settling on Gasper as the team's primary option.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Wednesday that he plans to use Rice at first base "a little bit here" and is "going to try" to work him in at catcher during blowout games, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

Boone has begun to think about how he will deploy Rice -- who has a .958 OPS with eight home runs -- when the Yankees get Giancarlo Stanton (elbows) back from the injured list. Rice saw one inning at catcher in the April 27 win against the Blue Jays and Boone wanted to play him behind the plate Tuesday in Baltimore but decided against it after Rice was hit by a pitch in the fifth inning. The 26-year-old Rice is a natural catcher and works out there and at first base every day. Rice could see enough game action at catcher to earn eligibility there in fantasy leagues, although it probably won't happen anytime soon. Stanton is progressing in his rehab but is not close to returning, so Boone has time to mull how to use Rice once the team is at full strength. The manager did say he is not considering using Rice at any unfamiliar positions, so when Rice plays in the field it will be at first base or catcher.

Devers went 2-for-5 with two doubles, an RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's 7-6 extra-inning loss to the Blue Jays.

Devers, who's had an up-and-down season, is on the rise again. He's hit safely in five straight (8-for-22) with three doubles, three home runs and an RBI in all five games. He's batting just .225 for the season, but 15 of his 27 hits have gone for extra bases. Devers ranks third on the team with 19 RBI.

Rooker went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in a 7-1 win against Texas on Wednesday.

The game was tied 1-1 entering the ninth inning, when Rooker unknotted the score with a two-run blast to left field. The Athletics tacked on four more runs later in the frame on a Lawrence Butler grand slam to secure the victory and move back above .500. Rooker had gone seven games without a long ball before Wednesday's blast, but he's been swinging an effective bat of late with three multi-hit performance across his past four contests. He's at a .258/.313/.508 slash line with eight homers, 17 RBI and 19 runs through 134 plate appearances on the season.
