Mountcastle will sit Tuesday against Cleveland, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Mountcastle hits the bench after starting 12 straight games. He hit a strong .298/.327/.617 over that stretch, homering four times and driving in 12 runs. Trey Mancini will handle first base Tuesday, with Anthony Santander serving as the designated hitter.

White (hip) went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Triple-A Tacoma's win over Sacramento on Monday.

White has served as the designated hitter in all three of his rehab games so far, and he's homered twice in that time. It remains to be seen whether he'll need to get some action in the field before being deemed ready for activation.

France went 1-for-3 with an RBI double, a walk and a run in a win over the Twins on Monday.

France's fifth-inning two-bagger plated Jake Fraley to close the Mariners' deficit to 3-2 at the time. France has now hit safely in three straight and five of his last six games overall, but he still has just a .240 average and .320 slugging percentage across 58 plate appearances thus far in June.

Voit (oblique) transferred his rehab assignment from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to Double-A Somerset on Tuesday.

Voit will prepare to make his second rehab appearance at a new affiliate after he went 1-for-3 with an RBI double and a run scored while playing five innings at first base for the Triple-A club Sunday. The Yankees will likely want to see Voit play at least one or two nine-inning games in the field during his rehab assignment before most likely bringing him back from the injured list ahead of next week's series versus the Royals. Voit has been sidelined since May 25 with a Grade 2 oblique strain.

Kirilloff went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 4-3 loss to the Mariners.

Kirilloff took Marco Gonzales deep to center field to break a 1-1 tie in the fourth inning. It was the 23-year-old's first long ball since May 2 and his first RBI in 10 days. He hasn't been particularly impressive, as he's slashing .254/.292/.443 with 5 home runs, 19 RBI and 15 runs scored through his first two months at the major-league level. Things should naturally become easier for him as he continues to get more reps.

Guerrero went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 2-1 loss to the Red Sox.

Guerrero came to the plate with two outs in the top of the ninth inning down by a run, and he delivered a solo shot to tie it, his 22nd of the 2021 campaign. He's now left the yard in four consecutive contests and leads all of baseball in home runs, with Fernando Tatis the next closest with 19 homers.

Diaz isn't in the lineup Monday against the White Sox, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

Diaz will get a breather after he went just 1-for-11 with a run, an RBI, three walks and five strikeouts across the last three games. Ji-Man Choi will start at first base and bat third.

Dalbec went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk Sunday in the Red Sox's 18-4 loss to the Blue Jays.

For the first time all season, Dalbec picked up a start at third base -- his primary position during his time in the minors -- while Rafael Devers received a breather for the day game after a night game. Though the Red Sox couldn't collectively keep pace with a prolific Blue Jays offense that slugged eight home runs on the afternoon, Dalbec was at least able to do his part. Dalbec has produced an extra-base hit in each of his last four starts, and he appears to have regained some job security after he had lost out on starts to Danny Santana in late May.

Tellez slugged a pinch-hit two-run home run in Sunday's rout of the Red Sox.

With position player Christian Arroyo on the mound for Boston and the Jays holding a 16-4 lead in the ninth inning, Tellez subbed in for Vladimir Guerrero and launched Toronto's eighth homer of the day, setting a new Fenway Park record for a visiting club. It was Tellez's first home run in June and fourth of the year, but he's been showing some signs of life at the plate lately, slashing .300/.378/.550 over his last 45 plate appearances dating back to May 24.

Abreu went 3-for-5 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's win over the Tigers.

Abreu extended his hitting streak to four games, recording at least one extra-base hit in each one of those contests and tallying two or more knocks in all but one. While the power drought remains an issue with the reigning AL MVP, as he hasn't gone yard in 13 straight games, he's finding ways to supply value even if his overall numbers haven't been nearly as good as they've been in past seasons.
