Yankees' Mike Ford: Launches third long ball
Ford went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Saturday's 7-0 win over the White Sox.
Ford mashed a massive 447-foot solo shot in the sixth inning to pad an already-substantial Yankees lead. The homer was Ford's third of the campaign and first since April 28. He went 1-for-26 between April 29 and May 16 but has shown improvement over his past three games, going 4-for-8 with a pair of walks.

Phillies' Bryce Harper: Day off Sunday
Harper is out of the lineup Sunday against the Red Sox, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.
Harper is 0-for-16 with 10 strikeouts over the past four games, so he'll receive a day off Sunday to reset. Brad Miller will work in right field during the series finale versus Boston.

Indians' Franmil Reyes: Lands on IL
Cleveland placed Reyes (abdomen) on the 10-day injured list Sunday, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.
Reyes was sent in for an MRI after exiting Saturday's game against the Twins with a left abdominal strain, and while the extent of his injury still isn't known, Cleveland determined the 25-year-old was dealing with more than a day-to-day concern. Cleveland recalled outfield prospect Owen Miller from Triple-A Columbus in a corresponding move, and he could get the opportunity to play on a near-everyday basis while Reyes is on the shelf.

Shohei Ohtani DH | LAD
Angels' Shohei Ohtani: Lines up to pitch Friday
Ohtani is tentatively scheduled to pitch Friday against the A's, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
The 26-year-old surrendered two runs over 4.2 innings while showing slightly decreased velocity during his start Wednesday, so he'll receive a couple extra days before his next outing. Ohtani should continue to operate as the Halos' regular designated hitter in the meantime.

Indians' Franmil Reyes: Dealing with abdominal strain
Reyes was diagnosed with a left abdominal strain after leaving Saturday's game against the Twins, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.
The 25-year-old suffered the injury on a swing during the sixth inning after popping a two-run homer earlier in the contest. The severity of the injury remains unclear since he's still undergoing medical imaging, but it wouldn't be a major surprise if Reyes requires a stint on the injured list.
