Jones is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Tigers.

With an ace lefty (Tarik Skubal) on the bump for Detroit, Jones will be one of the four left-handed Yankees batters who will head to the bench. Jazz Chisholm (head), Cody Bellinger and Austin Wells will also exit the starting nine.

Butler is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Dodgers.

Butler will begin Tuesday's game on the bench with the Dodgers sending left-hander Justin Wrobleski to the mound. Butler started in Monday's 9-4 loss to the Dodgers despite Los Angeles starting lefty Eric Lauer and went 0-for-3 with a walk. For Tuesday, Joey Meneses is starting in left field and Colby Thomas is starting in right field.

McNeil is not in the lineup versus the Dodgers on Tuesday.

McNeil is starting Tuesday's game from the bench while the Dodgers send southpaw Justin Wrobleski to the mound. The second baseman did not start in Monday's game either due to another lefty, Eric Lauer, starting. Joshua Kuroda-Grauer is starting at second base and is batting ninth Tuesday.

Guerrero was scratched from the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mets due to back tightness.

The star first baseman departed Friday's contest against the Cubs due to a back issue, but he didn't miss any additional time until being scratched from Tuesday's starting nine. Guerrero should be considered day-to-day as he continues to be evaluated. Sean Keys will shift to first base for Toronto.

Canzone is not in the lineup versus Angels on Tuesday.

Canzone is absent from the lineup after starting in Monday's 6-2 win against the Angels, in which he went 1-for-4 with a home run. Randy Arozarena has the start as the designated hitter while Victor Robles gets the start in left field Tuesday.

Loftin (groin) will start at third base and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Rays.

After sustaining a groin bruise late in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the White Sox, Loftin ended up sitting out Sunday's series finale. The game off plus Monday's team off day appears to have provided sufficient recovery time for Loftin, who will step back in at third base, where he's been serving as the Royals' primary starter since Maikel Garcia (hand) landed on the injured list. After producing a 1.006 OPS through his first 17 games of June, Loftin went hitless in 14 at-bats over his last four starts before exiting the lineup Sunday.

The Royals transferred Kolek (personal) from the paternity list to the family medical emergency list Tuesday.

The right-hander was scratched from his start Friday against the White Sox in order to be placed on the paternity list, and this transaction will allow him to spend more time away from the team. It's unclear if Kolek is expected to be back with the Royals for his next turn through the rotation, which lined up for Thursday versus Tampa Bay.

Diaz (shoulder) is batting leadoff as the designated hitter Tuesday against the Royals.

The 34-year-old departed Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks due to a left shoulder strain, but he's good to go for Tuesday's series opener following Monday's team off day. Diaz has carried a scorching bat in June with a .391/.468/.489 slash line in 25 games, though he has just seven extra-base hits (six doubles and one homer).

The Rangers recalled Collyer from Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday.

Collyer will give the Rangers' bullpen a fresh arm after the club used five pitchers in Monday's win over the Guardians. The 25-year-old was unscored upon in his first 11 outings earlier this season but was sent to Round Rock after posting an 8.59 ERA and 7:10 K:BB over his last seven outings.

Manager Aarone Boone said Tuesday that Fried (elbow) is scheduled to throw another session of live batting practice Sunday, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

Fried faced live batters Tuesday for the first time since landing on the injured list in mid-May, and he apparently came out of the simulated game with no issues. The left-hander will likely throw a bullpen session within the next few days before ramping up his workload during the live session Sunday. Fried isn't likely to rejoin the Yankees' rotation prior to the All-Star break but could be reinstated before the end of July.
