Fry is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.

Jose Ramirez will get a day out of the infield and serve as the Guardians' designated hitter, so Fry will hit the bench to accommodate him. Fry had started in each of the last three games, going 4-for-10 with two doubles and two walks to bring his OPS up to .950 on the season.

Benintendi is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

Corey Julks will draw the start in left field while the lefty-hitting Benintendi retreats to the bench as the Rockies bring southpaw Kyle Freeland to the hill. Since returning June 12 following a brief stint on the 10-day injured list due to an Achilles injury, Benintendi has gone 8-for-39 (.205 average) with two home runs, four RBI and four runs in 13 games.

Davis was scratched from Sunday's lineup against the Blue Jays.

The 31-year-old probably is perfectly healthy, but Juan Soto's (hand) late addition to the starting nine will bump Davis from the lineup. He's gone 1-for-9 with a double, two walks, an RBI and a run in three games since being acquired by the Yankees last weekend.

Lopez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

With southpaw Kyle Freeland on the hill for Colorado, the lefty-hitting Lopez will move to the bench. Danny Mendick will replace Lopez at second base.

Lee is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

Lee will get the afternoon off after he started at catcher in both of the first two contests of the series. Martin Maldonado will spell Lee behind the dish in the series finale.

Soto (hand) will start in right field and bat second Sunday against the Blue Jays.

The 25-year-old was originally slated to sit Sunday and said he may undergo an MRI or CT scan Monday when the Yankees are back in New York, so his late addition to the lineup is a major surprise. It's unclear if Soto will still require any of the medical imaging, but he's apparently feeling well enough to play despite experiencing some pain and weakness in his bruised right hand Saturday.

Ramirez went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, an RBI double and two total runs scored in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Royals.

Ramirez has already had a strong first half of the campaign, but he's been especially impressive lately. Over his last 12 games, he's batting .340 (17-for-50) with five homers, four stolen bases, 13 RBI and 13 runs scored. He's now hitting .280 on the year with an .890 OPS, 23 homers, 75 RBI, 64 runs scored and 15 steals. He's on pace to return to the 30-homer mark for the first time since 2021, and he could have a chance to challenge for his first 40-homer campaign.

McCormick is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

McCormick will sit Sunday for the second straight game, and he has gone 1-for-11 over his past five contests. Trey Cabbage will start in right field and bat ninth in the series finale at New York.

Loperfido is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Loperfido started six straight games before taking a seat for Saturday's contest, and he finds himself on the bench again Sunday. He collected three hits in his first game back from the injured list June 21 but has gone 1-for-15 in the ensuing five contests. Mauricio Dubon will take over in left field as Jon Singleton receives a start at first base.

Trevino is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

He'll take a seat for the second day in a row and the third time in four games while Austin Wells earns another turn behind the plate. Trevino has gone just 3-for-26 at the dish over his last nine games, while Wells is holding down a .781 OPS in June. Manager Aaron Boone seems to be favoring the hotter bat in Wells for the moment.
