Canha (wrist) said Sunday that he will rest and do treatment over the All-Star break and hopes to be able to play in Detroit's first game of the second half next Friday in Toronto, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Canha exited Saturday's 11-9 extra-inning win over the Dodgers early due to a sore wrist and isn't in the lineup for Sunday's series finale, though Jason Beck of MLB.com notes that the veteran is available in an emergency situation. Canha doesn't look like he'll need a trip to the injured list, especially with the extra rest afforded by the All-Star break.

Vaughn isn't in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against Pittsburgh.

Vaughn will get a breather in Chicago's final game before the All-Star break as the White Sox go up against Pirates righty Mitch Keller. Gavin Sheets is batting fifth and playing first base in Vaughn's stead Sunday, while Eloy Jimenez is serving as the designated hitter.

Canha (wrist) isn't in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Canha was removed for a pinch hitter in Saturday's contest due to a sore wrist and will begin Sunday's game on the bench. It isn't clear if he's available to pinch hit. Sunday is the final day before the All-Star break, so Canha will have an opportunity to recover before Detroit's next game Friday, July 19.

Smith went 2-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 5-0 win over the Royals.

Smith singled and scored in the second inning then plated two runs an inning later. He's batting just .226 since joining the Red Sox but has been better of late, going 11-for-38 (.289) over the last 13 games. Smith remains the primary first baseman, starting against righties, but his role should change soon after the All-Star break. Injured first baseman Triston Casas (ribs) has started to hit baseballs again and could return in the second half of the month.

Lowe went 1-for-5 with an RBI in Saturday's 2-1 extra-inning win over the Astros.

Lowe snapped an 0-for-14 slump with a single in the top of the 10th inning that scored the go-ahead run. The Astros fed him a steady diet of changeups, and Lowe, who has a .138 average against that pitch in 2024, finally caught one in the extra frame.

Santana went 2-for-2 with a solo home run and two walks in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Giants.

Santana ended June hot, but this was his first multi-hit effort over 10 games in July. The first baseman is 6-for-32 (.188) with three extra-base hits this month. Despite the slump, he's maintained a decent .247/.328/.431 slash line for the year while adding 13 homers, 41 RBI, 35 runs scored, 17 doubles and two stolen bases across 88 contests.

Canha was removed from Saturday's game against the Dodgers due to right wrist soreness, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Canha reached base on an error and scored during the second inning of Saturday's victory, but Jake Rogers entered to pinch hit for him in the fourth. Canha's status for Sunday's series finale remains unclear, though the Tigers may opt to sit him so that he'll have plenty of time to heal during the All-Star break.

Soderstrom suffered a stress reaction but not a fracture of his wrist according to recent tests, and he is currently donning a splint, MLB.com reports.

Manager Mark Kotsay expressed relief at the test results, which he described as the best-case scenario for the promising rookie. Soderstrom is slated to wear the splint for up to 10 days before beginning a regimen of strengthening exercises as the next step in his recovery. Given the nature of the injury, he appears likely to require more than a minimum-length stay on the injured list.

Schanuel went 1-for-2 with two walks, an RBI and a stolen base in Friday's extra-inning win against Seattle.

Schanuel notched an RBI single in the fourth inning and walked twice to extend his modest on-base streak to five games. He's gone 4-for-14 with two doubles, two RBI and two steals while drawing six free passes during that stretch. Schanuel has been performing well offensively since late June -- over his past 17 games, he's slashing .323/.419/.387 with four doubles, seven RBI, seven runs and three thefts while posting a 9:9 K:BB.

Casas (ribs) hit soft-toss pitching and swung off a tee Friday, Peter Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

Swinging off a tee represents an advancement in Casas' rehab program. The injured first baseman had been limited to dry swings since late June. He's expected to begin a rehab assignment following the All-Star break and is hoping for a late-July return from the 60-day injured list.
