Caglianone (groin) will start at designated hitter and bat third in Tuesday's game versus the Rays.

Caglianone had to be scratched from Sunday's lineup due to left groin soreness, but he's feeling well enough to give it a go in Tuesday's series opener following the Royals' team off day Monday. The 23-year-old enters play Tuesday having gone just 1-for-15 with eight strikeouts over his last four contests.

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.

Acuna (hamstring) went through a full pregame workout at Truist Park in Atlanta on Tuesday, Chad Bishop of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

It's a big step for Acuna, who is on the 10-day injured list for the second time this season with a strained left hamstring. He missed nearly three weeks of action the first time and has already been out longer than that this time around. Going through a full workout suggests Acuna could be nearing a return to games, but Atlanta manager Walt Weiss said it's a "long shot" the outfielder returns before the All-Star break. Acuna could be back for the beginning of the second half, however.

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.

The Reds placed Myers on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a left shoulder contusion, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.

Myers had to be carted off the field during Monday's game versus the Brewers after he collided with the outfield wall following a terrific catch. X-rays came back negative, but Myers is still being evaluated to determine whether there's additional damage beyond a contusion. The Reds should have more on Myers' status later this week.

Bericoto went 2-for-3 with a double and a run scored in Monday's 5-4 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Bericoto singled in the second inning and doubled in the fifth before coming around to score San Francisco's first run. The 24-year-old outfielder has logged at least one hit in each of his last five appearances, batting .412 with three RBI, three runs scored and two home runs in 18 plate appearances during that stretch. Overall, he's slashing .286/.306/.571 with four runs scored, four RBI and three long balls across 36 plate appearances this season.

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.
