Nimmo (shoulder) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Guardians.

The veteran outfielder will sit for a second consecutive game after being diagnosed with an AC joint sprain in his left shoulder. Nimmo is undergoing additional testing Tuesday, which could help to determine whether or not he'll require a trip to the injured list.

Antonacci is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Orioles.

Antonacci started the previous 10 games and will receive a day off after posting a .342/.444/.474 slash line with five walks, two doubles, a homer and two steals during that stretch. Junior Perez will pick up a start in left field Tuesday for Chicago.

Trammell went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 5-4 loss to the Twins.

Trammell made things interesting in the ninth inning with his two-run, 412-foot blast off Travis Adams that cut Houston's deficit to 5-3. The homer is Trammell's third this season, all of which have come in his last six games. Trammell has seen his playing time tick up of late, as he's settled into the strong side of a platoon role with Jake Meyers.

The Rays agreed to a minor-league contract with Slater on Monday, Ryan Bass of Rays.tv reports.

The veteran outfielder elected free agency after being designated for assignment by Tampa Bay in mid-June, but he'll rejoin the organization on another minor-league deal. Slater played in just seven games with the Rays and went 6-for-22 (.273 average) with two doubles and three steals. He also had stints with the Marlins and Mets early in the season, and he combined to post a .518 OPS in 21 contests between those two clubs.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said in an appearance on Jomboy Media's "Talkin' Yanks" podcast that Bellinger will be out of the lineup Tuesday against the Tigers.

Bellinger has gone just 2-for-27 at the plate across his last eight contests, so the Yankees will give him a breather as Detroit sends ace Tarik Skubal to the mound. The ongoing slump has dropped Bellinger's season OPS below .800 for the first time since May 1.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Tuesday on the "Talkin' Yanks" podcast by Jomboy Media that Grisham (hamstring) will play a rehab game with Double-A Somerset on Wednesday before being activated from the 10-day injured list Friday.

Grisham has been shelved since mid-June with a right hamstring strain. He will be given one rehab game to knock some rust off before returning to the Yankees' lineup ahead of the weekend series against the Twins, barring any setbacks. Once reinstated, Grisham will serve as the team's primary center fielder.

Carter started in center field and went 2-for-3 with two runs scored in Monday's 6-3 win over the Guardians.

Carter was activated off the injured list Sunday when the Rangers placed Wyatt Langford (hamstring) on the IL. That injury, along with a shoulder injury suffered by Brandon Nimmo on Sunday that could lead to an IL stint, should present outfield opportunities for Carter. He typically only starts against right-handers and is batting .182 (.100 against lefties) in 68 games this season.

DeLauter went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Monday's 6-3 loss to Texas.

DeLauter gave the Guardians a 2-1 lead in the fifth inning when he roped a line-drive RBI double. The outfielder has been limited to DH duties in his two games back from a rib injury, but DeLauter is making an impact with the bat. He's gone 4-for-9 with three RBI and a run scored since coming off the injured list, including a clutch two-out, two-run single in Sunday's comeback win over Seattle.

Thomas went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Monday's 9-4 loss to the Dodgers.

Thomas picked up his first multi-hit effort since May 13 versus the Cardinals. He's largely filled a platoon role at best during his time in the majors this season, but injuries are piling up for the Athletics, which has opened the door for him to get more playing time recently. The outfielder is batting just .221 with a .623 OPS, three homers, eight RBI, nine runs scored and one stolen base over 82 plate appearances. Thomas will need to take advantage of his opportunities to maintain more playing time in the near future.

Smith went 2-for-4 with a pair of solo home runs in a loss to the Twins on Monday.

Smith accounted for Houston's only run off Minnesota starter Zebby Matthews with a solo blast to left field in the fifth inning. With the Astros down to their last out in the ninth, Smith struck again, clubbing a solo shot off closer Yoendrys Gomez to bring his team within a run. Smith missed Sunday's game against Detroit due to a sore foot, but he looked none the worse for wear upon his return to the lineup. Of the outfielder's past six hits, four have left the park, bringing him up to 11 homers through 85 contests on the campaign. That's a big improvement over the nine long balls he swatted across 134 regular-season contests during his rookie 2025 season.
