Muncy went 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a run scored in Friday's 6-4 win over the Rockies.

Muncy came through with a two-RBI double off the wall in left-center field to tie the game at 4-4 in the sixth inning. The third baseman added a single in the eighth frame, marking his first multi-hit effort since returning from the injured list Monday, albeit across just three contests. Overall, Muncy is hitting .240 with a .702 OPS, 10 extra-base hits (two homers), 11 RBI, 17 runs and two stolen bases in 29 games.

Straw isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Yankees.

Straw will retreat to the bench Saturday after going 0-for-4 with a pair of strikeouts during Friday's series opener. While he sits, Jesus Sanchez, Nathan Lukes and Yohendrick Pinango will form Toronto's outfield trio.

Guerrero isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Yankees.

Guerrero will take a rare day off Saturday after going 1-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored during Friday's series opener. Charles McAdoo will take over as Toronto's first baseman as a result and bat eighth.

Kirk isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Yankees.

Kirk went 3-for-3 with a walk, two RBI and a run scored during his first game back from the IL on Friday, and he'll now retreat to the bench as the Jays look to ease him back into regular playing time. Brandon Valenzuela will fill in behind the plate and bat sixth.

The Yankees reinstated Dominguez (shoulder) from the injured list Saturday.

Dominguez landed on the injured list in early May with a sprained AC joint in his left shoulder and was cleared to begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A on June 5. Since then, he's gone 5-for-18 with two homers, three RBI and two steals across five games. Now fully healthy, the 23-year-old is expected to make regular starts in the outfield for New York following Trent Grisham's (hamstring) move to the injured list.

The Yankees placed Grisham on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a right hamstring strain.

Grisham was injured while rounding first base in the sixth inning of Friday's game, and he'll now have to miss at least the next 10 days after being diagnosed with a strain. Jasson Dominguez (shoulder) was activated from the injured list in a corresponding move and figures to start regularly in New York's outfield until Grisham returns.

Rafaela went 3-for-5 with two doubles, a home run, three RBI and two additional runs scored in Friday's 10-1 win over the Rangers.

Rafaela belted his second homer in as many games and has knocked in six runs the last two nights. During the month of June, the center fielder is slashing .351/.368/.595 with five extra-base hits, seven RBI, a stolen base and six runs scored over nine games.

Abreu went 3-for-4 with two doubles, a home run, three RBI and two additional runs scored in Friday's 10-1 win over Texas.

It was a big night for hitters No. 2 through 4 in Boston's order. Ceddanne Rafaela, Abreu and Willson Contreras combined to go 9-for-13 with five doubles, three home runs and eight RBI in the win. Abreu entered the game with a .194 average and .535 OPS over his first eight games in June.

Okamoto went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's win over the Yankees.

The third baseman took Ryan Weathers deep in the first inning, ripping a slider down the left-field line into the upper deck at the Rogers Centre. Per TSN.ca, Okamoto is only the 19th player in the history of the stadium and just the 10th Blue Jay to reach the 500 level with a long ball, a feat last accomplished by a Toronto player when Josh Donaldson did it in 2017. Through 10 games to begin June, Okamoto is slashing .316/.341/.500 with two homers, five runs and seven RBI.

Foscue entered Friday's game in the fifth inning after Evan Carter (oblique) was removed and went 0-for-2 in a 10-1 loss to Boston.

Foscue finished the game at second base while Nicky Lopez moved to the outfield. This was the first game action over the last four contests for Foscue, who has been limited to starting against left-handers only. With Josh Smith (glute/wrist/illness) six games and 26 plate appearances into a rehab assignment, Foscue's window in the majors may be closing soon. He's slashing .246/.306/.446 with three home runs, four doubles, nine RBI and eight runs scored over 72 plate appearances (26 games).
