Suarez (wrist) is starting at third base and batting cleanup Tuesday against the Brewers.

The veteran slugger sat out Monday's contest due to left wrist inflammation after being hit by a pitch Sunday, but he'll end up missing just one game. Through 22 contests in June, Suarez has struggled to a .185/.241/.383 slash line with four homers, 14 RBI and five runs.

Ohtani went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run in Monday's 9-4 win over the Athletics.

Ohtani gave the Dodgers some breathing room with his blast in the sixth inning. He has swatted seven homers among 16 hits over his last 16 games as a batter, adding 13 RBI in that span. The superstar is now batting .297 with a .958 OPS, 18 homers, 50 RBI, 60 runs scored, 15 doubles, two triples and six stolen bases over 81 games this season.

Canzone went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 6-2 win over the Angels.

Canzone has been battling a minor hamstring issue over the last week. He typically serves as the designated hitter anyway, and that's where he slotted in Monday. He has gone 12-for-46 (.261) with five homers and nine RBI over his last 15 contests. For the season, the 28-year-old has batted .273 with an .899 OPS, 13 homers, 34 RBI, 30 runs scored, 13 doubles, one triple and one stolen base across 219 plate appearances. He should continue to see a strong-side platoon role at DH, though Canzone has also been in the lineup against the last two and three of the last four southpaws the Mariners have faced.

The Padres optioned Wagner to Triple-A El Paso on Monday.

Wagner served as a strong-side platoon player for most of his three-week stay in the big leagues, slashing .257/.422/.286 while scoring five runs in 16 games. Since Wagner was likely to become an odd man out of the lineup with another left-handed hitter in Jake Cronenworth (concussion) returning from the 7-day injured list Moday, the Padres opted to send the 27-year-old to Triple-A so that he can continue to play regularly.

Lowe is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Brewers.

The left-handed-hitting Lowe will head to the bench for the series opener in Milwaukee while southpaw Robert Gasser toes the rubber for the Brewers. Lowe will cede first base to Spencer Steer, who will bat third.

Pederson is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Guardians.

As per usual, the left-handed-hitting Pederson will retreat to the bench while Texas goes up against a lefty starter (Parker Messick) in the series opener. Justin Foscue will replace Pederson at designated hitter and will occupy the leadoff spot.

Canzone (hamstring) will start at designated hitter and bat third in Monday's game against the Angels.

Canzone missed Sunday's game versus the Guardians while nursing a sore right hamstring. He's still not 100 percent but is feeling well enough to serve as the Mariners' DH, per Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times. Canzone leads Mariners regulars this season with an .891 OPS.

The Mariners placed Refsnyder (knees) on the 10-day injured list Monday, Adam Jude of The Seattle Times reports.

Refsnyder has gone 1-for-17 over his last seven games, and his poor performance at the plate may have been partially due to injuries to both of his knees. A minimum stint on the IL would have the veteran outfielder in line to return to the majors July 9, though it's unclear whether he'll be back in action before the All-Star break. Buddy Kennedy -- whom the Mariners acquired from the Giants on Sunday -- will take Refsnyder's spot on the 26-man active roster.

Yelich is absent from the lineup for Monday's tilt against the Reds.

With southpaw Nick Lodolo toeing the rubber for the Reds, the Brewers will give the left-handed-hitting Yelich a breather. Gary Sanchez is occupying the designated hitter slot and batting fifth in the series opener.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that Stanton (calf) has restarted a running program and will take live at-bats against rehabbing left-hander Max Fried (elbow) on Tuesday, David Lennon of Newsday reports.

Stanton paused his running program after experiencing a setback with his strained right calf June 11, so the Yankees could have the 36-year-old ramp up more deliberately this time around before he starts sprinting at full speed. Since Stanton has been on the shelf since April 28 due to the calf injury, he'll presumably need to complete a minor-league rehab assignment before making his return from the 10-day injured list. Stanton appears unlikely to rejoin the New York lineup until after the All-Star break.
