Raley (back) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's matchup against Baltimore.

Raley will sit for the second consecutive game versus the Orioles since his back tightness has yet to be relieved. The outfield will consist of Connor Joe in left, Julio Rodriguez in center and Victor Robles in right for Wednesday's contest.

Jones is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox.

The Yankees will go with a right-handed-heavy lineup to counter White Sox southpaw Anthony Kay, so Jones will retreat to the bench along with fellow left-handed hitters Ryan McMahon and J.C. Escarra. Amed Rosario will step in for McMahon at third base and will bat third. After covering left field Tuesday in the series opener, Cody Bellinger will slide over to center in place of Jones on Wednesday.

Pena went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Tigers.

Pena launched a solo shot in the third inning before adding an RBI single in the sixth. The homer was his first since May 30, though the shortstop has hit safely in five of his past six games and is batting .291 through 15 contests in June. For the year, he's slashing .279/.344/.415 with four long balls, 15 RBI, 26 runs scored and five steals across 163 plate appearances.

McMahon is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox.

The Yankees will go with a right-handed-heavy lineup to counter White Sox southpaw Anthony Kay, so McMahon will retreat to the bench along with fellow left-handed hitters Spencer Jones and J.C. Escarra. Amed Rosario will step in for McMahon at third base and will bat third.

Escarra is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox.

The Yankees will go with a right-handed-heavy lineup to counter White Sox southpaw Anthony Kay, so Escarra will retreat to the bench along with fellow left-handed hitters Spencer Jones and Ryan McMahon. Ali Sanchez will get the nod at catcher, forming a battery with starting pitcher Carlos Rodon.

Garcia (elbow) struck out the side Tuesday for Triple-A Buffalo and is scheduled for another rehab outing Thursday, reports Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca.

After recording a 13-pitch inning for Buffalo on Tuesday, Toronto is looking to carry out its original plan of getting Garcia into more minor-league action before he makes his season debut for the big-league club. The 35-year-old was originally placed on the 15-day injured list March 25 and then was transferred to the 60-day IL a month later. Garcia appeared in 22 games for Toronto during the 2025 regular season, posting a 3.86 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 25:12 K:BB through 21 innings.

Lambert (6-4) earned the win against the Tigers on Wednesday, allowing one run on two hits and no walks with five strikeouts over seven innings.

Lambert cruised through six frames before allowing a solo homer in the seventh, throwing 60 of 89 pitches for strikes while limiting the Tigers to just four hard-hit balls. The 29-year-old has now recorded back-to-back quality starts and has yielded only four earned runs across three outings in June. He'll take a 3.23 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 58:25 K:BB over 64 innings this season into a road matchup against the Blue Jays next week.

Hader earned the save in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Tigers, allowing one run on one hit and no walks with three strikeouts in the ninth inning.

Hader was summoned to protect a three-run lead in the ninth inning and yielded a leadoff homer before rebounding with three straight punchouts. It was the first run allowed by the 32-year-old in seven appearances since returning from the injured list June 3. He still sports a 1.29 ERA, 0.43 WHIP and 11:1 K:BB across seven innings while converting all four of his save chances.

The Guardians recalled Watson from Triple-A Columbus on Wednesday.

He'll be joining the big club as a replacement on the active roster for outfielder Chase DeLauter (rib), who was sent to the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. Watson has showed an intriguing power/speed skill set at Triple-A this season, slugging 12 home runs and stealing 14 bases while slashing .255/.370/.491 with a 14.9 percent walk rate and 28 percent strikeout rate across 254 plate appearances. Capable of playing all three outfield spots, Watson could fill one of the holes in the Cleveland lineup that have opened up with DeLauter, Jose Ramirez (hand) and Angel Martinez (foot) all landing on the IL within the last four days. The Guardians will keep the 23-year-old on the bench for Wednesday's game against the Brewers, however.

Mize (2-4) took the loss against the Astros on Wednesday, allowing three runs on six hits and one walk with three strikeouts over 4.2 innings.

In his first start since May 27, Mize threw 52 of 86 pitches for strikes while generating eight whiffs and allowing nine hard-hit balls. While some rust was understandable in his return from an adductor injury, the 29-year-old handled a normal workload and saw a slight uptick in velocity across his pitch mix compared to his season averages. He owns a 2.58 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 52:13 K:BB over 52.1 innings this season and lines up for a home matchup against the Yankees next week.
