Caballero went 2-for-3 with two home runs and four RBI during the Yankees' 5-1 win over the Rays on Monday.

Monday's game was scoreless until Caballero smacked a three-run homer off Griffin Jax in the fifth inning, and the former followed that up with a solo shot in the eighth that gave the Yankees a 4-1 lead. It was Cabellero's first multi-homer game since Aug. 19, 2025 against Tampa Bay, and the 29-year-old infielder is up to 10 long balls on the season. He is slashing .249/.304/.407 with 20 steals and 33 RBI across 277 plate appearances this season.

Schlittler (9-5) earned the win against the Rays on Monday, allowing one run on four hits while striking out eight across eight innings. He did not issue a walk.

Schlittler entered Monday's game coming off one of the worst starts of his career in a loss to the Tigers this past Tuesday, when he allowed six runs and yielded a career-high four homers. He bounced back in style in Tampa Bay, pitching through the eighth inning for the second time this season while limiting the Rays to just four baserunners and one run that came on an RBI single from Richie Palacios in the fifth. Schlittler has allowed one earned run or less in 14 of 19 starts this season, and he ranks second in the majors in ERA (2.01) and fourth in both WHIP (0.93) and strikeouts (131) across 112 innings. He's slated to start this weekend on the road against the Nationals, which will be Schlittler's last turn in the rotation before the All-Star break.

Wilson (elbow) was activated from the 60-day injured list Saturday.

Wilson has been given a clean bill of health after undergoing UCL surgery in May of 2025. He made his first appearance for Single-A Lakeland on Saturday, surrendering two walks while striking out six over 2.2 innings.

Kent was placed on the 7-day injured list Monday due to an undisclosed injury, Conor Foley of YES Network reports.

Kent has been seeing the ball well at High-A Hudson Valley, hitting .307 with six home runs, 43 RBI, 20 stolen bases and 56 runs scored over 76 games this season. However, he'll head to the shelf for at least the next week while on the mend from an unknown injury.

Scherzer (back) will make his next rehab start at Triple-A Buffalo on Wednesday, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic.

Scherzer tossed 49 pitches at High-A Vancouver on Friday, and he evidently got through the outing without issue. He'll presumably need at least one or two additional rehab starts before the team considers activating him from the 15-day injured list.

The Blue Jays placed Fisher (personal) on the bereavement list Monday.

Fisher will be away from the team while tending to a personal matter, with the move corresponding with the Blue Jays reinstating George Springer (personal) from the family emergency medical list. Fisher has a 3.33 ERA, 1.11 WHIP, eight holds, one save and a 46:21 K:BB across 46 innings this season.

The Blue Jays reinstated Springer (personal) from the family emergency medical list Monday.

Springer is now eligible to return to the lineup for Toronto, but that will have to wait for at least one more day while Sean Keys serves as the designated hitter and bats fifth in Monday's series opener. Springer had gone 16-for-61 (.262) with three steals, two home runs, five RBI and a triple in his 15 games prior to his absence. The move corresponds with the Blue Jays placing Braydon Fisher on the bereavement list.

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

A corresponding move has yet to be announced, but the decision to option Laweryson comes after the Twins acquired Woo-suk Go from the Tigers, with Go expected to be added to Minnesota's 26-man roster Tuesday, per Dan Hayes of The Athletic. Laweryson has appeared in 15 games out of the Twins' bullpen this season and has a 4.86 ERA, 1.38 WHIP, one save and an 18:8 K:BB across 16.2 innings.

The Orioles optioned Weston to Triple-A Norfolk on Monday.

Weston was called up by the Orioles on Wednesday but did not see major-league action before being sent back down to the minors Monday. He's appeared in 19 games (seven starts) in Triple-A this season, where he sports a 7.23 ERA, 1.91 WHIP and 53:24 K:BB across 37.1 innings.

The Athletics optioned Morris to Triple-A Las Vegas on Monday.

Morris has appeared in two games out of the Athletics' bullpen since being called up from the minors June 29, allowing four runs on 10 hits and three walks while striking out two across six innings. He'll head back down to Triple-A, where he has a 7-4 record across 14 starts with a 4.41 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 60:29 K:BB over 79.2 innings.
