Manzardo is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees.

With lefty Carlos Rodon on the bump for the Yankees, the left-handed-hitting Manzardo will begin the tilt on the bench. David Fry is at designated hitter and batting cleanup for the Guardians.

Garcia (thumb) is starting at third base and batting third in Tuesday's game versus the Cardinals.

Garcia had to be scratched from Sunday's lineup against the Tigers due to right thumb soreness, but he's ready to roll after the Royals were idle Monday. It's the first time this season that Garcia has batted third for Kansas City.

Caglianone is starting at designated hitter and batting sixth in his major-league debut Tuesday in St. Louis.

Caglianone is expected to see the bulk of his starts in right field for the Royals, but he'll be broken in at DH. The No. 6 overall pick in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft, Caglianone earned a promotion to the majors after slashing .322/.389/.593 with 15 home runs and two stolen bases over 50 games between Double-A Northwest Arkansas and Omaha.

The Blue Jays designated Sanchez for assignment Tuesday, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

With Tyler Heineman back from the 7-day concussion injured list, the Jays no longer had a need for Sanchez. If Sanchez passes through waivers, he could stick around in the organization as catching depth.

The Blue Jays designated Stefanic for assignment Tuesday, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

The transaction clears space on the active roster for the return of Andres Gimenez (quad). Stefanic will likely pass through waivers unclaimed.

The Blue Jays activated Heineman from the 7-day concussion injured list Tuesday, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Heineman missed a little over a week of action with concussion symptoms. He'll serve as Alejandro Kirk's understudy at catcher.

The Blue Jays activated Gimenez (quad) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Gimenez wound up missing nearly a month of action with a right quad strain, but he's been cleared to return to action after going 2-for-12 in four rehab games. The 26-year-old is sporting just a .577 OPS in 36 contests with the Blue Jays in 2025.

O'Hoppe is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game in Boston.

It appears to be a routine day of rest for O'Hoppe, who caught the previous two games and four of the past five contests. Travis d'Arnaud will be behind the dish and bat sixth for the Angels.

Robert is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Tigers.

White Sox manager Will Venable said that Robert will also remain on the bench Wednesday, as he gets a two-day mental break while battling through a season-long slump, per Kyle Williams of the Chicago Sun-Times. The 27-year-old has gone 1-for-20 over his last seven contests to drag his season batting line down to .177/.266/.286. Michael Taylor will start in center field and bat eighth Tuesday.

Casas (knee) will be off crutches in two weeks and expects to be ready for Opening Day next season, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

Casas spoke to reporters Tuesday for the first time since he underwent surgery a month ago to repair the ruptured patellar tendon in his left knee. He will spend most of the summer rehabbing at Boston's spring training complex in Florida.
