Yandy Diaz DH | TB
Rays' Yandy Diaz: Exits after HBP
Diaz was removed from Tuesday's game against the Orioles after getting hit on the hand by a pitch, Ryan Bass of Rays.tv reports.
Diaz went 2-for-3 with a homer and an RBI double before taking a 94-mph fastball off his hand in the eighth inning, forcing him out of the game. He'll likely be sent in for X-rays to determine whether he suffered a fracture, and the Rays should offer an update on his status in the near future. Ryan Vilade could be in line to pick up a start at first base or DH if Diaz is unable to play Wednesday.

Dominic Canzone DH | SEA
Mariners' Dominic Canzone: Idle versus lefty
Canzone is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the White Sox.
The White Sox are sending southpaw Anthony Kay to the mound to start, so the left-handed-hitting Canzone will take a seat to begin the game. Rob Refsnyder starts as the designated hitter, batting leadoff.

Kyle Schwarber DH | PHI
Phillies' Kyle Schwarber: Out again with illness
Schwarber (illness) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Reds.
Schwarber is under the weather and will miss a second consecutive start. He's considered day-to-day, but with an afternoon game Wednesday and a team off day Thursday, the Phillies might elect to hold Schwarber out until Friday versus the Guardians just to be safe. Trea Turner is getting a start at designated hitter Tuesday, and Edmundo Sosa is covering shortstop.

Josh Bell DH | MIN
Twins' Josh Bell: Pops two homers Monday
Bell went 3-for-4 with two home runs and four total RBI in Monday's 6-3 win over the Astros.
Bell took Tatsuya Imai deep in each of his first two plate appearances, swatting a solo homer in the second inning before tagging the right-hander for a two-run shot in the fourth. Bell then singled home a run in the sixth, thereby driving in each of the Twins' first four runs of the game. Bell's two long balls snapped a 31-game home-run drought for the 33-year-old. On the season, he's slashing .223/.286/.361 with five homers, 28 RBI, 23 runs scored, one stolen base and a 14:43 BB:K across 182 plate appearances. Bell's .647 OPS is the lowest of his career.

Yandy Diaz DH | TB
Rays' Yandy Diaz: Four hits Monday
Diaz went 4-for-5 with two doubles, four RBI and four runs scored in Monday's win over the Orioles.
Junior Caminero delivered a three-run shot and Ryan Vilade had three hits and three RBI, but it was Diaz who led Tampa Bay's offense in hits and runs scored while matching Caminero's four RBI in this offensive explosion. The slugging first baseman posted his seventh multi-RBI game of the season, and he continues to put up solid numbers across the board. He's hitting .268 with a .794 OPS, three homers, 11 RBI and eight runs scored in 14 games since the beginning of May.

Miguel Andujar DH | SD
Padres' Miguel Andujar: Lifts key solo homer
Andujar went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 1-0 win over the Dodgers.
Andujar provided the lone offense in Monday's pitcher's duel, blasting a solo homer off Yoshinobu Yamamoto in the first inning. While San Diego's stars have struggled at the plate, Andujar has been one of the club's most effective contributors, particularly of late during an active seven-game hitting streak in which he has posted two homers, five RBI, five runs and a 1.035 OPS. Overall, the 31-year-old is slashing .298/.319/.504 with 17 extra-base hits (four homers), 15 RBI, 14 runs and a stolen base across 135 plate appearances.
