Devers went 3-for-5 with a three-run home run, a double, an RBI single and an additional run scored during Tuesday's 10-6 loss to the Mariners.

Devers got the Red Sox on the scoreboard in the third inning, tagging Luis Castillo for a three-run home run. The third baseman has been on a tear to close July, going 14-for-27 with six doubles, a triple and a homer in his last seven games. The hot streak has brought Devers' batting average above .300, and his 24 homers are tied for ninth in baseball.

Rutschman is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Rutschman will get a breather for the matinee game after going 1-for-8 in the last two games of the series. James McCann will draw the start at catcher for the Orioles.

Rice is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies.

The left-handed-hitting Rice will take a seat for the series finale while the Phillies send southpaw Cristopher Sanchez to the bump. Rice will put a four-game hitting streak on hold and give way to DJ LeMahieu at first base.

Lopez went 2-for-3 with a triple, two runs scored and a walk Tuesday against the Royals.

Lopez led off for the third straight contest and has tallied at least one hit on each occasion while scoring three runs. He has just a .049 ISO across 320 plate appearances for the season, though he has only a 14.7 percent strikeout rate and a 7.7 percent walk rate. If Lopez sticks as the leadoff hitter, he could be a decent source of runs for the final two months of the campaign.

Castillo (9-10) picked up the win Tuesday against Boston, allowing three runs on six hits and a walk across six innings. He struck out four.

Castillo delivered his fifth consecutive quality start and landed his third win during that stretch. All three runs attributed to Castillo came in the third inning when Rafael Devers lifted a three-run home run. While Castillo's K/9 has dropped from 10.0 to 8.6 this season, he's still been highly effective, posting a 3.43 ERA and 1.16 WHIP in 136.1 innings. He's tentatively lined up to make his next start Tuesday against the Tigers.

Rortvedt went 2-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored Tuesday against the Marlins.

Rortvedt contributed to a six-run sixth inning for the Rays, delivering a two-RBI single. He briefly lost playing time to Alex Jackson but has made two consecutive starts. Since the All-Star break, Rortvedt has gone 4-for-20 with two doubles, three RBI and two runs scored.

Paxton (8-3) took the loss Tuesday against Seattle, allowing six runs (three earned) on six hits and a walk across 4.1 innings. He struck out five.

Paxton ran into trouble in the fifth inning and didn't get much help defensively. There were a couple errors behind him and Paxton exited the contest with the bases loaded and one out, handing the ball off to Zack Kelly in what wound up being a five-run fifth inning. In his last five starts, Paxton has logged an 8.18 ERA with 20 strikeouts in 22 innings. He's tentatively scheduled to face the Royals on Monday.

The Yankees recalled Marinaccio from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday.

Marinaccio holds a 2.84 ERA and 19:9 K:BB over 19 innings during his time in the majors this season. He'll operate in middle relief for the Yankees.

Double-A Somerset placed Selvidge on its 7-day injured list July 23 with an unspecified injury.

Selvidge hadn't pitched since July 6 and wasn't available for the All-Star Futures Game before Somerset opted to deactivate him two and a half weeks later. The left-hander has made 16 starts for Somerset this season, logging a 4.25 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 83:40 K:BB in 84.2 innings.

Robert went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Royals.

The trade deadline came and went with Robert still on the White Sox roster, and the 26-year-old outfielder celebrated by stealing his 15th bag of the year in the eighth inning, although he was also caught stealing for the first time in 2024 in the first frame. Robert has had a sluggish July at the plate, slashing .244/.313/.400 with three homers, eight runs and 11 RBI, but he's been busy any time he's gotten on the basepaths -- 12 of his stolen bases on the season have come in the last 24 games.
