Grisham (hamstring) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game in Toronto.

Grisham will get Tuesday's contest off after he was removed from Monday's 5-4 win after four innings due to left hamstring tightness. Per Meredith Marakovits of YES Network, Grisham was testing out his hamstring in the outfield prior to Tuesday's game, offering hope that he could avoid the 10-day injured list. Cody Bellinger will patrol center field for the Yankees on Tuesday.

Lukes is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees.

The Yankees are sending a lefty starter (Max Fried) to the hill for the second day in a row, and the left-handed-hitting Lukes has found himself on the bench for both those contests. Lukes will once again give way in center field to Myles Straw, who will bat sixth.

The Blue Jays optioned Clase to Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday.

Clase had been seeing fairly steady playing time in the Toronto outfield since being promoted from Triple-A on May 7, but he slashed a dismal .219/.299/.313 with two home runs and three stolen bases in 34 games. In a corresponding move, Toronto recalled Leo Jimenez to provide depth in the middle infield while shortstop Bo Bichette is day-to-day with a knee injury, but Myles Straw, Davis Schneider and Will Wagner may be more likely candidates to benefit from added opportunities in the outfield or at designated hitter now that Clase is out of the mix.

Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said Tuesday that Carpenter (hamstring) will be placed on the 10-day injured list, Jim Duquette of MLB Network Radio reports.

Carpenter has dealt with a right hamstring issue off and on since the beginning of June, and he aggravated the injury during Sunday's game against the Twins. Hinch indicated that the Tigers are being conservative in putting Carpenter on the IL, suggesting that the MRI the 27-year-old underwent Monday didn't show significant damage. Carpenter will be eligible for activation July 11, but with the All-Star break looming shortly after that, he could be held out until the start of the second half.

Arozarena went 2-for-4 with a pair of home runs and four RBI in Monday's 6-2 win over the Royals.

Arozarena's first homer, a fourth-inning solo shot, was the 100th of his career. The outfielder didn't stop there, providing a three-run homer in the fifth that gave the Mariners enough for the win. Arozarena has logged multiple hits in three straight games and in six of his last 12 contests. He's at a .244/.358/.416 slash line with 10 homers, 37 RBI, 42 runs scored, 20 doubles, one triple and 15 stolen bases through 82 games this season as Seattle's starter in left field.

Garcia went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run and a stolen base in Monday's 10-6 extra-innings loss to the Orioles.

Garcia snapped a stretch of eight games without a multi-hit effort, a span in which he was 3-for-31 (.097) with 12 strikeouts. The outfielder's blast was a game-tying homer in the 10th inning, though the Rangers went on to give up four runs in the 11th. Garcia is batting .225 with a .659 OPS, 10 homers, eight steals, 45 RBI and 27 runs scored across 80 contests this season, numbers that have him at a similar pace compared to his 2024 production.

Laureano went 4-for-6 with three doubles, one RBI and three runs scored in Monday's 10-6 extra-innings win over the Rangers.

Laureano has been hitting the ball well lately, going 12-for-24 (.500) with a home run, five RBI, six doubles and 12 runs scored over his last six games, four of which were multi-hit efforts. The outfielder was a tough out all game, including when he supplied an insurance run with an RBI double in the 11th inning. For the season, he's up to a .287/.358/.538 slash line with 10 home runs, 27 RBI, 32 runs scored, three stolen bases and 13 doubles across 57 games.

Cowser went 1-for-6 with a solo home run in Monday's 10-6 extra-innings win over the Rangers.

Cowser extended the Orioles' lead to 6-3 in the 10th inning, but the Rangers were able to counter in their half of the frame. The outfielder went 13-for-45 (.289) with four homers and 12 RBI over his last 12 games in June. For the season, he's at a .229/.295/.510 slash line with seven homers, 15 RBI, 13 runs and a stolen base across 105 plate appearances. He remains a significant source of power from the bottom half of the lineup.

Abreu went 2-for-5 with a grand slam and a solo inside-the-park home run during Monday's 13-6 win over the Reds.

It was the Abreu show at Fenway Park on Monday as the outfielder set a career high with five RBI via his 15th and 16th home runs of the season. First, the 26-year-old displayed his speed in the bottom of the fifth as he flashed his way around the bases on a ball to center field that kicked away from the outfielders. Then, he crushed a dagger grand slam in the bottom of the eighth. Abreu's 45 RBI is second on the team behind just Trevor Story (46).

Duran went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, two walks and three runs scored during Monday's 13-6 win over the Reds.

Duran hit his second home run in June, and sixth on the season, to help pad the Red Sox lead after Cincinnati cut it down to three. He might have capped the month off well, but the 28-year-old has struggled at the plate in June, slashing .206/.287/.371 with season lows across the board for a single month this season. His .723 OPS for the season remains far off of his .834 mark in last year's All-Star campaign.
