Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Tuesday that Judge (elbow) will not play the outfield during the team's two-game series against the Rays that runs through Wednesday, and he is unsure whether Judge will be ready to play the field for the four-game set versus the Red Sox that concludes Sunday, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

Judge has expanded his throwing out to 150 feet as he works his way back from a right flexor strain. Boone conceded that Judge is unlikely to be able to throw like he normally does at any point this season, but the goal is to get him to a spot where "he can go out there and be able to protect himself and represent himself." With Judge limited to designated-hitter duty, the Yankees have been mixing in Giancarlo Stanton in right field, although they have been reluctant to make Stanton a full-time outfielder. Stanton's playing time could continue to be somewhat limited until Judge is ready to return to right field.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said in his appearance on Jomboy Media's "Talkin' Yanks" podcast that Dominguez will be out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rays.

Dominguez started in all three of the Yankees' games in St. Louis over the weekend and went 5-for-14 with three RBI, one run and one stolen base, but he'll be the odd man out of the New York outfield in the series opener in Tampa while Giancarlo Stanton makes his return after being held out the last few days due to general soreness. With Aaron Judge occupying the designated-hitter spot for the time being as he continues to recover from an elbow injury, Boone appears to have settled on Cody Bellinger, Trent Grisham and Stanton as his preferred outfield trio from left to right.

Kwan went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Monday's 3-1 win over Arizona.

Kwan extended a hit streak to six games, during which he's gone 9-for-24 (.375) with two extra-base hits, three steals and five runs scored. Prior to his recent uprising, Kwan went 6-for-40 (.150) over nine games. He's up to 14 stolen bases through 118 contests.

Duran went 1-for-3 with a double and three RBI in Monday's 6-3 loss to Baltimore.

Duran produced a run with a sacrifice fly in the seventh inning and then two more in the ninth with a double. It was the third consecutive game with a two-bagger for Duran, who leads the club with 34 of them. He's up to 69 RBI through 123 games and is poised to top the career-high 75 he posted over 160 games in 2024, when he was the club's primary leadoff hitter.

Beavers went 2-for-2 with an RBI and two walks in Monday's 6-3 win over the Red Sox.

Beavers reached safely in all of his trips to the plate Monday, highlighted by a scorching RBI single in the fourth inning. The budding prospect has opened his big-league career with a hit in each of his first three games, going 4-for-11 with a double and an RBI.

Kayfus went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Monday's 3-1 win over the Diamondbacks.

Kayfus went just 2-for-17 (.118) over six home games last week, adding one RBI while racking up six strikeouts. He also logged two steals in that span, but it'll be tough for him to make an impact with speed if he can't get on base more consistently. The homer was his second of the season, and he's now at a .239/.300/.435 slash line with seven RBI and eight runs scored through 50 plate appearances.

Robert went 1-for-6 with a two-run home run and two runs scored Monday against Atlanta.

Robert popped his home run to begin a six-run rally for the White Sox in the fourth inning. That ended a 10-game drought without a home run, during which Robert went only 8-for-36 with one RBI, three runs scored and two stolen bases. While he's hitting just .218 for the season, Robert is only two home runs away from tallying the second 15-homer campaign of his career.

Tauchman went 2-for-6 with a double, two RBI and a run scored Monday against Atlanta.

Tauchman played a key role in the White Sox's six-run fourth inning, delivering a two-RBI double while also coming around to score. He's had a quietly solid season, but his production has slowed in August. Even after Monday's performance, Tauchman is hitting only .196 with four RBI and four runs scored across his last 15 games.

Canzone was removed from Monday's game against the Phillies after being struck by a pitch on his left arm, and X-rays returned negative, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

Canzone remained in the game for an inning after being hit by a pitch in the seventh, but he was removed shortly after and sent for further testing. His imaging came back clean, ruling out a fracture. Canzone can be considered day-to-day moving forward.

Perez went 2-for-3 with a walk, a solo home run and a stolen base in Monday's 10-0 win over the Astros.

Perez extended his hitting steak to four games, and he's now batting a cool .340 across 16 contests this month. The 25-year-old outfielder is up to 10 home runs and seven stolen bases for the season, with the homers representing a new career high. If Perez remains active on the bases, he could also reach double figures in both home runs and steals for the first time at the MLB level.
