Rodriguez went 3-for-5 with three doubles, two RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 7-1 win over the Twins.

After starting the night 0-for-2, Rodriguez caught fire, ripping three straight doubles, including a two-run knock in the ninth inning. The outburst continues a strong stretch at the plate, as he has now recorded a hit in 10 of his last 12 games, with five multi-hit efforts in that span. While the power numbers are still building, Rodriguez is finding his rhythm and is now slashing .256/.333/.355 with two homers, six doubles and 12 RBI across 121 plate appearances.

Pereira was removed from Tuesday's game against the Angels with right shoulder soreness.

The White Sox are viewing Pereira as day-to-day, which suggests that he isn't dealing with anything serious and may not need to miss many starts, if any. If the team decides to sit him down for a game or two, Austin Hays would likely be the next man up to start in right field.

Butler isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Royals.

Butler will get a day to regroup Tuesday after going just 1-for-14 at the plate with two walks and six strikeouts across his last four starts. His absence will allow Colby Thomas to pick up a start in right field while batting fifth.

Manager John Schneider said Springer (toe) hit and ran on the field again Tuesday and is likely to be activated from the 10-day injured list Wednesday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

Springer has been sidelined for the past two-plus weeks due to a fractured left big toe, but it appears he'll rejoin the Blue Jays on Wednesday, assuming he can avoid a last-minute setback. Prior to the injury, the veteran outfielder was in the midst of a slow start to the campaign with two homers and a .185/.290/.370 slash line in his first 14 games.

Rafaela is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game in Toronto.

It looks to be a routine day off for Rafaela, who had started each of the previous seven contests. Jarren Duran will play center field and bat leadoff in Rafaela's stead.

Wallner is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mariners.

Wallner had started the last four contests, but this is the third time over the last nine games versus right-handed pitching that the lefty-swinger has been out of the lineup. He's sporting a .564 OPS and 36.8 percent strikeout rate in 106 plate appearances this season. Austin Martin is in right field and batting third Tuesday.

Valera is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rays, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

The 25-year-old was out of the lineup for the previous two games, but the Guardians went up against a lefty in both of those contests. Right-hander Nick Martinez is pitching Tuesday for the Rays, but Valera still finds himself on the bench amid a poor start to the season that's seen him bat .222 (8-for-36) with three doubles and no homers through 12 games. Angel Martinez is receiving a fifth straight start in the outfield while Daniel Schneemann starts in center field with top prospect Travis Bazzana making his MLB debut at second base.

Larnach went 2-for-4 with a triple, an RBI, a run scored, a stolen base and a walk in Monday's 11-4 win over Seattle.

Larnach reached base three times in Monday's offensive outburst, extending his on-base streak to 13 games. The outfielder's strong walk rate has fueled his production, as the 29-year-old is slashing .259/.419/.397 with five extra-base hits, eight RBI, 11 runs and a stolen base through 22 games in 2026.

Dominguez went 1-for-4 with a strikeout in Monday's 4-2 win against Texas.

Dominguez was called up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre ahead of the game and started at DH for New York, batting sixth. He didn't do anything spectacular but did get involved on offense with a sixth-inning single. Giancarlo Stanton (calf) is headed for the injured list, per Erik Boland of Newsday, so Dominguez could get at least a temporary opportunity to play regularly with the hope of forcing his way into a long-term stint with the big-league club.

Judge went 3-for-3 with a solo home run and two doubles in a 4-2 win against Texas on Monday.

Judge began his day at the plate by getting hit by a pitch in the first inning. The slugger then homered in the third and doubled in the fifth and seventh frames. Judge has gone deep in each of his past two games and is tied for the league lead with 11 long balls overall this season. He's added a .252/.389/.621 slash line, 19 RBI, 23 runs and five stolen bases.
