Larnach is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.

The left-handed hitter had started in left field and batted leadoff in nine straight games, but he'll head to the bench Sunday while the Twins face southpaw Ryan Weathers. Austin Martin will replace Larnach in the outfield and atop the batting order.

Cowser is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.

Along with fellow left-handed hitters Samuel Basallo, Jackson Holliday and Dylan Beavers, Cowser will take a seat for the series finale against Nick Lodolo. Leody Taveras will replace Cowser in center field and bat seventh.

Beavers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Beavers will hit the bench along with three other left-handed hitters (Colton Cowser, Samuel Basallo and Jackson Holliday) while the Orioles stock up on right-handed bats against Nick Lodolo. Since coming off the injured list June 28, Beavers has appeared in four games and has gone just 1-for-14 with a double, a walk, an RBI and a run. Now holding down an underwhelming .222/.308/.342 slash line on the season, Beavers could be in danger of ceding starts to the likes of Leody Taveras or Tyler O'Neill if he's unable to improve on his production.

Martinez (foot) took batting practice Saturday for the first time since landing on the injured list, MLB.com reports.

Martinez has reached an important milestone in his recovery process after shedding the walking boot for his fractured left foot last week. When Martinez was placed on the injured list June 16, he was given an estimated 4-to-6-week timeline for a return. While the four-week mark would put him on track to be ready to rejoin the Guardians coming out of the All-Star break, Martinez may need a little extra time beyond that to complete a rehab assignment before Cleveland activates him from the IL.

Peters went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double and a run scored Saturday against the Guardians.

Peters started his 10th consecutive game, nine of which have come in center field. He has hits in each of his last seven appearances, during which he's gone 9-for-26 with six runs scored and a stolen base. Peters offers very little pop, but he's maintained a .291 batting average with a .349 OBP across 256 plate appearances this season.

Greene went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Rangers.

Greene gave the Tigers all the offense they would need with his 12th home run of the season, a two-run shot in the top of the first inning against Cal Quantrill. The Detroit outfielder has gone deep four times across his past 12 games, and he's sporting a robust .945 OPS during that stretch. For the year, Greene has an .830 OPS, which would barely eke past the .827 mark he posted in 2024 as a new career best.

Lowe went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in a loss to the Red Sox on Saturday.

Lowe accounted for the Angels' only extra-base hit and only run when he launched a 437-foot solo homer off Sonny Gray in the first inning. The veteran outfielder spent over a month with Triple-A Salt Lake after getting off to a slow start to the season, but since his return he's playing like he never wants to go back to the minors. Across nine contests after being called back up. Lowe is batting .370 (10-for-27) with two homers, two doubles, five runs, five RBI and a stolen base.

Arozarena went 3-for-4 with a home run, a double, a walk, four RBI and three runs scored in Saturday's 11-0 win over the Blue Jays.

Arozarena fell a triple shy of the cycle, highlighted by a grand slam in the bottom of the second inning. Since returning from the injured list June 23, the 31-year-old has gone 10-for-39 with five extra-base hits, eight RBI and seven runs scored across 11 contests. Fresh off earning his third career All-Star nod, he's slashing .287/.376/.453 with nine homers, 41 RBI, 54 runs scored and 19 steals across 348 plate appearances this season.

Trout (hamstring) took batting practice on the field Saturday and said he could return from the 10-day injured list during the Angels' upcoming series with the Rangers, which begins Tuesday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Trout has been shelved since June 17 due to a right hamstring strain. He recently ramped up his on-field activities and said Saturday that he ran at about 90 percent speed with "no pain." All signs point to Trout being activated next week, perhaps as soon as Tuesday. Trout was also named an American League All-Star starter Saturday, and he'll presumably be able to appear in the Midsummer Classic as long as he doesn't experience any setbacks during the upcoming week.

Schuemann went 2-for-2 with two walks and a two-run home run in Saturday's 11-4 loss to the Twins.

Getting the start in center field while Trent Grisham got a partial day off as the DH in his second game back from the IL, Schuemann took Zebby Matthews (foot) deep in the fifth inning. The 29-year-old utility player has two homers on the season, with both of them coming in his last four games. Through 39 plate appearances in the majors this season. Schuemann is slashing .231/.423/.487 with two steals, six RBI and nine runs while seeing action at every position except catcher and first base.
