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 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.

Isbel (foot) participated in a full team workout Friday and could begin a rehab assignment next week, per MLB.com.

Isbel has been shelved since June 10 with a Grade 3 tear of a portion of his left plantar fascia. He had been aiming to begin a rehab assignment before the All-Star break, but soreness prevented those plans from materializing. The 29-year-old's participation in Friday's workout is a positive step, though how he feels afterward and whether he's able to avoid soreness will determine how soon he'll begin a minor-league rehab assignment and ultimately return to the active roster. In Isbel's absence, Lane Thomas has handled center-field duties.

Ward went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in a 3-2 win over Houston on Friday.

Ward came to the plate in the eighth inning with his team trailing 2-1 before he belted the eventual game-winning homer. It marked the 32-year-old's second homer in his past three games. On the season, Ward has slashed .256/.388/.367 with seven homers, 27 RBI and three steals in 443 plate appearances.

Spence went 1-for-3 with a walk in a 3-2 loss to Baltimore on Friday.

Spence was called up to make his big-league debut in center field after Brice Matthews (knee) was placed on the 10-day injured list. The 23-year-old Spence went on to pick up his first hit in the seventh inning off Grant Wolfram. Spence should continue to see playing time in center field for Houston.

Thomas went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk while striking out once in Friday's 7-6 extra-inning win over the Padres.

In his first at-bat, Thomas belted a solo home run to left field off Michael King, giving Kansas City a 1-0 lead at the time. This marks back-to-back multi-hit games for the 30-year-old after he went 3-for-4 with a double against Baltimore before the midseason break. On the campaign, Thomas has slashed .238/.339/.404 with eight homers, 32 RBI and four steals in 274 plate appearances.

Antonacci went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored during the White Sox's 12-4 win over the Blue Jays on Friday.

Antonacci capped off the White Sox's five-run second inning with a two-run homer off Spencer Miles. It was the seventh home run of the season for Antonacci, who has gone 8-for-23 (.348) with two steals, two home runs and four RBI over his last six games. He has an .810 OPS with 29 RBI and 13 steals across 309 plate appearances this season.

Montgomery went 1-for-4 with a steal, a triple, four RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 12-4 win over the Blue Jays.

Montgomery drove in his first run of the game on a fielder's choice in the second inning, and he essentially put Friday's game out of reach for the Blue Jays by smacking a bases-clearing triple in the seventh. It was the first triple of Montgomery's career, and he also collected his first steal in the majors. He's slashing .229/.298/.404 with three home runs and 16 RBI across 121 plate appearances this season.

DeLuca went 2-for-8 with two RBI across Friday's doubleheader against the Red Sox.

DeLuca went 0-for-4 in the first game, a 10-0 loss for Tampa Bay, but he put the Rays on the board with a two-run single in the first inning of the second contest. He is slashing .254/.291/.416 with nine steals, five home runs and 27 RBI across 184 plate appearances this season.

Abreu went 2-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI during the Red Sox's 5-3 win over the Rays in the second game of Friday's doubleheader.

Abreu went 1-for-4 with a walk in the first game -- a 10-0 win for Boston -- but he had much more impact in the second contest. He tied things up with a two-run homer in the first inning before giving the Red Sox the lead for good in the third with a solo shot. It was the first multi-homer game of the season for Abreu and first since July 20, 2025 against the Cubs. He has a .777 OPS with 13 home runs, 46 RBI and six steals over 409 plate appearances this season.
