Rice went 3-for-5 with two solo home runs and four runs scored in Tuesday's 15-3 win over the Orioles.

Rice was on the bench for the series opener Monday, and the additional rest paid off. He was one of five Yankee players to hit a home run in Tuesday's contest, with both of his two solo shots came off the returning Kyle Gibson in the first and second innings. Rice is up to eight home runs on the season, which surpasses his mark from 2024 (seven) in 72 less plate appearances. He has a .998 OPS with 22 runs scored and 13 RBI this season.

Chisholm will undergo testing on his right oblique Thursday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

The Yankees' decision to wait until their day off Thursday to evaluate Chisholm means he will not play in Wednesday's series finale in Baltimore. Chisholm could end up missing even more time, as manager Aaron Boone said after Tuesday's game that there's a chance that the second baseman ends up on the injured list. Chisholm, on the other hand, said he feels fine, though the final decision will likely come down to the results of his tests. Pablo Reyes is the favorite to pick up starts at the keystone for any time that Chisholm might miss.

Estevez allowed a hit in a scoreless inning while earning a save against the Rays on Tuesday. He struck out one batter.

Estevez gave up a single to Jose Caballero but had no trouble finishing the 3-1 win. It was Estevez's eighth save in 10 chances, and he's now converted three straight. He dropped his ERA to 2.57 with a 12:9 K:BB across 14 frames.

Bradley (2-2) allowed two runs on five hits and three walks over seven frames Tuesday, striking out two and taking a loss against the Royals.

Bradley gave up a run in each of the first two innings but settled in for his longest start of the year. He threw over 100 pitches for the second consecutive outing but generated only six whiffs. His usual strikeout numbers have vanished as of late; after beginning the year with exactly seven punchouts in each of his first three starts, Bradley has recorded only eight strikeouts in his last three appearances. He now owns a 29:15 K:BB with a 4.58 ERA through 35.1 innings. Bradley's next outing is projected to be on the road against the Yankees this weekend.

Lorenzen (3-3) yielded a run on four hits and two walks over six innings Tuesday, striking out four and picking up a win against the Rays.

Lorenzen faced little resistance from the Rays' lineup aside from Junior Caminero, who hit a double and a solo homer against him. It was Lorenzen's third quality start of the year, all of which have resulted in wins. He was efficient Tuesday, with 60 of his 88 pitches being thrown for strikes. Lorenzen dropped his season ERA to 3.48 with a 28:13 K:BB through 33.2 frames. He's in line for a home matchup against the White Sox next week.

Caminero went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and a double in Tuesday's loss to the Royals.

Caminero provided the Rays' lone run with his solo shot in the fourth inning. It was his sixth home run of the year and first since April 17. During his nine-game homerless drought, Caminero posted a .476 OPS. His season slash line is now .266/.302/.486 with 12 extra-base hits and 17 runs scored through 116 plate appearances.

Chisholm (side) exited Tuesday's contest against the Orioles with right flank discomfort, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

Chisholm experienced some side discomfort while at the plate in the first inning, ultimately leaving the game after ripping a triple in his only at-bat of the day. The second baseman is apparently dealing with a right flank issue, which refers to the area between the ribs and hip. An exact diagnosis of his injury will likely come in the near future.

Manager Alex Cora said Tuesday that Yoshida (shoulder) could head back to Boston to be evaluated since the outfielder's throwing program is "not going well," Rob Bradford of WEEI.com reports.

The 31-year-old was expected to begin playing in extended spring training games in mid-April but hasn't made the necessary progress in his throwing program. Yoshida could be headed for additional treatment, which would further push back his season debut. He primarily served as a designated hitter last season, but Yoshida needs to be able to throw from the outfield to be major-league ready in 2025 since the offseason signing of Alex Bregman has resulted in Rafael Devers serving as the everyday DH.

Raley was scratched from the lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Angels due to an apparent injury, Adam Jude of The Seattle Times reports.

Raley seemingly tweaked something in his side/back while taking batting practice before the game. He underwent imaging to determine the severity of his injury, and although the results haven't been announced yet, the Mariners will pull Raley from their starting nine. Miles Mastrobuoni will move to right field as a result, opening up second base for Leo Rivas.

Chisholm left Tuesday's game against the Orioles in the top of the first inning, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

Chisholm needed to have a trainer check on what appeared to be his side during the middle of his first-inning at-bat. The second baseman not only continued the at-bat, he tripled with a slide into third. However, after the slide, Oswald Peraza came in to run for him.
