O'Hoppe isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Astros.

Holliday is now batting leadoff and playing DH on Friday against the Yankees, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Holliday was initially scheduled for a night off Friday, but Adley Rutschman (abdomen) was scratched, leading to Holliday filling in at DH. It'll be just his second start at the position this season.

Rutschman was scratched from the lineup for Friday's game against the Yankees due to left abdominal tightness, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Initially slated to DH and bat second, Rutschman has been removed from Friday's starting nine. He can be considered day-to-day due to the abdominal injury. Jackson Holliday will now DH and bat leadoff.

Stephenson is still feeling some discomfort in his right biceps but is hopeful to start throwing during the Angels' nine-game homestand that begins Friday, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

Stephenson is working his way back from biceps inflammation but is on track to begin throwing before the end of June. The veteran reliever is without an official timeline to return from the 15-day injured list, but he'll most likely remain on the shelf through the All-Star break.

Naylor is not in the Guardians' starting lineup against the Athletics on Friday.

Naylor will get a breather while Austin Hedges serves behind home plate and bats ninth. Naylor is in the midst of a mini-slump, having gone 0-for-17 with nine strikeouts over his last five starts.

The Angels placed Soler (back) on the 10-day injured list Friday.

Soler will be sidelined for at least a week and a half due to nagging back soreness, an issue that held him out of back-to-back games before Friday's move. Gustavo Campero was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake in a corresponding move. Soler won't be eligible to be activated until June 30.

The Angels recalled Campero from Triple-A Salt Lake on Friday.

With Jorge Soler (back) moving to the injured list, the Angels will turn to Campero to replenish their outfield depth. The 27-year-old has gone just 2-for-10 in five MLB games this season, though he's slashing .320/.389/.477 across 145 plate appearances in Triple-A.

The Angels are expected to put Soler (back) on the injured list, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports

Soler had missed back-to-back games due to back soreness and won't be able to avoid a stint on the injured list. The 33-year-old is slashing .207/.280/350 with eight home runs in 264 plate appearances this season. LaMonte Wade and Scott Kingery could receive more playing time while Soler is sidelined.

Larnach is dealing with a right hand contusion and won't play in Friday's game against Milwaukee, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

The Twins previously scratched Larnach from the lineup, but an explanation for his removal wasn't immediately provided until it was revealed that he was dealing with a hand issue. He should be considered day-to-day moving forward.

Young (shoulder) was activated from Triple-A Norfolk's 7-day injured list ahead of his start Friday, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Young landed on the IL in early May due to right shoulder discomfort. He was able to progress enough in his recovery to embark on a rehab assignment with High-A Aberdeen in early June, and he's been given the green light to return to Triple-A. Young has a 2-1 record in four starts with Norfolk with a 2.82 ERA and 0.95 WHIP across 22.1 innings.
