Lukes is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Lukes went 2-for-9 with an RBI while starting the first two games of the series and will head to the bench for Sunday's finale. Myles Straw will receive the start in center field and bat ninth against San Francisco lefty Robbie Ray.

Kwan said Saturday that his wrist is doing much better after receiving a shot Wednesday, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports. "I got the shot. It's been recovering well. Happy with the progression of it so far, so I'm cautiously optimistic about it," the outfielder said.

Kwan's missed Cleveland's first two games coming out of the All-Star break, but it looks like he'll avoid a stint on the injured list. "I don't think this is an IL case at all. He's feeling better each day," Cleveland manager Stephen Vogt said Saturday. Kwan took swings and went through outfield drills prior to Saturday's game. While he's been out, Nolan Jones has handled left field.

Greene went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Rangers.

Greene provided all of Detroit's offense on his 25th home run of the season in the ninth inning against Texas reliever Jacob Webb. It's a new career high in long balls for the young outfielder, who had 24 regular-season home runs last year. Greene is now tied for eighth in the majors in homers, and his 79 RBI are good for fifth, making him an elite fantasy contributor in 2025.

Altuve went 3-for-5 with a double, one walk, one RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 7-6 extra-innings loss to the Mariners.

The Astros put together a 12-hit attack, but Altuve's double was the only extra-base hit of the bunch. This was his eighth multi-hit effort across 14 games in July for Altuve, and the veteran is batting .381 (21-for-55) with 10 extra-base hits and 17 RBI this month. That hot stretch has him up to a .279/.337/.464 slash line with 17 home runs, 53 RBI, 52 runs scored, 15 doubles, one triple and six stolen bases through 95 contests this season. Altuve continues to pick up time in left field while Brice Matthews gets a look at second base during his first major-league stint, though Matthews has gone just 1-for-12 over his first four games.

Robles (shoulder) has started playing catch and swinging a bat with his right hand, per MLB.com.

After working through the strength-building portion of his recovery from a dislocated left shoulder, Robles has now partially resumed baseball activities. The 28-year-old outfielder still isn't expected to return until September at the earliest, but it's encouraging to see he's progressing in his rehab. Dominic Canzone has taken over as Seattle's primary right fielder in Robles' stead, and J.P. Crawford should continue to serve as the club's everyday leadoff man for the time being.

Tauchman went 1-for-4 with a walk, a run scored, a double and three RBI on Saturday against the Pirates.

Tauchman made his lone hit of the game count, driving in three with a double in the sixth inning to give the White Sox the lead. He entered Saturday's contest having gone just 1-for-12 across his previous five games, though he's still managed to score three runs paired with four RBI in his last six contests.

Grisham went 2-for-5 with a double, a grand slam, an additional RBI and an additional run scored in Saturday's 12-9 win over Atlanta.

Grisham crushed a go-ahead grand slam off Raisel Iglesias in the ninth inning to lift his team to victory. The center fielder has been a surprise contributor for the Yankees in 2025, posting a .255/.357/.476 slash line with 26 extra-base hits and 38 RBI through 81 games after holding an OPS below .700 in each of the previous three regular seasons. Despite that, he's fallen into less of an everyday role lately, with Jasson Dominguez becoming a fixture in left field.

Robert went 2-for-4 with a walk, one RBI, three runs scored and a stolen base in Saturday's 10-4 win over the Pirates.

Robert was a thorn in the Pirates' side all game, scoring three runs for the second straight contest while setting a career high with 24 stolen bases. The outfielder is riding a six-game hitting streak that includes two homers, six RBI, seven runs scored and two steals. For the season, he's slashing .201/.289/.343 with 10 home runs, 38 RBI and 34 runs scored across 315 plate appearances.

Trammell isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Mariners, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Trammell will step out of the starting nine after going 0-for-3 with a walk during the first game of the second half Friday. Chas McCormick will take his place in center field and bat seventh.

Mullins isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Rays.

Mullins struck out three times in four at-bats during Friday's contest and will now receive a day off to regroup. While he rests, Ramon Laureano, Colton Cowser and Tyler O'Neill will start across the outfield for the O's.
