Jones is in the starting lineup for the first time in his tenure with Boston against Tampa Bay on Saturday.

After being traded by Detroit to Boston on Wednesday, Jones will start for the first time with his new team Saturday. With Detroit, the 28-year-old slashed .137/.219/.221 with two homers and seven RBI in 105 plate appearances. Jones will bat eighth and play left field against Tampa Bay on Saturday.

Duran is out of the lineup Saturday against Tampa Bay.

The left-handed-hitting Duran will ride the pine for Saturday's matinee against the Rays, with left-hander Ian Seymour taking the mound. Jahmai Jones will take over in left field for Duran and bat eighth for Boston.

The Yankees signed Hanner to a major-league contract and optioned him to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday.

After exercising an opt-out with the club Monday, Hanner is back with the Yankees, joining the 40-man roster and making his way back down to Triple-A. With Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this season, the 27-year-old has posted a 1.99 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 50:16 K:BB through 40.2 innings. To make room for Hanner on the 40-man roster, the Yankees transferred Aaron Judge (ribs) to the 60-day injured list.

The Yankees transferred Judge (ribs) to the 60-day injured list Saturday.

With Judge still not quite fully healed yet, the Yankees decided to transfer their captain to the 60-day IL. This move is retroactive to when the 34-year-old was originally placed on the 10-day IL on June 4, yet it will still likely be at least a couple more weeks until Judge is ready to go at the big-league level. Jasson Dominguez will continue to see extended playing time in right field in Judge's absence.

The Blue Jays optioned Macko to Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday.

Over his last four appearances out of the bullpen, Macko has been roughed up to say the least. The 25-year-old allowed nine earned runs over five innings, after previously recording three scoreless outings initially upon his return to the big-league club June 26. Toronto recalled Lazaro Estrada to take Macko's spot on the active roster for the time being.

Toronto optioned Van Eyk to Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday.

After making just one appearance during his time with the big-league club, Van Eyk will make his way back to Triple-A. The 27-year-old pitched two scoreless innings in his big-league debut July 17, allowing just one hit and one hit batsman, while striking out one batter as well. Toronto recalled Brendon Little to take Van Eyk's spot on the active roster.

The Blue Jays recalled Little from Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday.

After appearing in 79 games for the big-league club last regular season, Little has appeared in just six games with Toronto in 2026 as he makes his way back up to the major leagues. With Buffalo, the 29-year-old has posted a 7-1 record alongside a 2.53 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 46:25 K:BB through 32 innings this season. The Blue Jays optioned CJ Van Eyk to make room for Little on the active roster.

The Blue Jays recalled Estrada from Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Estrada will make his way back to Toronto after making just one appearance with the big-league club after being reinstated from the injured list June 20. With Buffalo, the 27-year-old appeared in eight games, registering a 3.00 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 16:5 K:BB in 18 innings. The Blue Jays optioned Adam Macko after a rough stretch out of the bullpen to make room for Estrada on the active roster.

Lewis isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Cubs due to left hamstring soreness, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Manager Derek Shelton said Lewis has already begun to feel better since reporting to the ballpark Saturday, but the Twins will keep him on the bench as a precaution. His absence will put Josh Bell at first base, moving Ryan Jeffers to the DH spot and giving Victor Caratini a start at catcher.

The Guardians appointed Allen as their 27th man for Saturday's doubleheader against the Pirates in Cleveland, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

Allen is set to start the nightcap while Gavin Williams gets the call to start the first game of Saturday's twin bill. Allen tallied seven strikeouts while giving up two unearned runs in four innings during his lone major-league outing of the season May 25 against Washington. Since then, he's turned in a 3.43 ERA and 1.26 WHIP across 42 frames at Triple-A Columbus.
