The Blue Jays optioned McAdoo to Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday.

The 24-year-old will end up as the odd man out of a roster spot following Daulton Varsho's (wrist) return from the injured list. McAdoo went just 4-for-25 at the plate across eight games during his stint in the big leagues but could still return to the majors later this season if the Blue Jays run into problems with their infield depth.

Garcia went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's loss to the Rays.

The infielder slashed at a Griffin Jax sinker in the third inning and drove it the other way over the left-field fence. Garcia has 10 homers on the season, and three of them have come in the last nine games, a stretch in which he's batting .290 (9-for-31) with a double, six runs and eight RBI.

Devers went 2-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Marlins.

The 29-year-old slugger took Michael Petersen deep to lead off the sixth inning, Devers' 11th homer of the season and fourth in the last 11 games. Over that June hot stretch, he's slashing .250/.388/.625 with three doubles, five RBI and seven runs. Trade rumors are swirling around the Giants' bigger names and contracts as they challenge the Rockies for the worst record in the National League, and Devers is doing what he can right now to boost his value to a contender.

Hoskins went 1-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Friday's 9-3 loss to Houston.

Hoskins helped the Guardians overcome an early deficit with a two-run home run as part of a three-run third inning. The homer was the seventh of the season and first in 11 games for Hoskins, who entered the contest having gone 3-for-26 with zero RBI and 15 strikeouts over the previous 10 games. For the season, he's slashing .179/.318/.370 over 214 plate appearances.

Rice went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in Friday's 5-0 win over the Reds.

The 27-year-old slugger took Rhett Lowder deep in the second inning to give the Yankees a 4-0 lead. Rice has hit safely in six straight games, launching three homers during that span, and the hot streak has boosted his slash line on the season to .294/.389/.616 with 21 long balls, 52 RBI, 54 runs and two steals in 69 contests.

Alonso went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 6-5 loss to the Dodgers.

Alonso went just 1-for-10 with six strikeouts during the Orioles' series in Seattle earlier this week. He bounced back with the homer Friday, his fourth long ball in his last nine games. For the season, the star first baseman is batting .247 with a .798 OPS, 17 homers, 49 RBI, 46 runs scored, 13 doubles and two stolen bases over 77 contests in his first year with Baltimore.

Sheets went 2-for-4 with a home run, two RBI, a stolen base and an additional run scored in Friday's 9-7 loss to the Rangers.

Sheets opened the scoring with an RBI single in the first inning before adding a solo blast in the eighth. The 30-year-old has gone deep twice in his past six games, though he's hitting just .195 through 15 June contests overall. On the season, he's slashing .230/.318/.456 with 12 homers, 32 RBI, 29 runs scored and four steals across 245 plate appearances.

France went 3-for-4 with two home runs, a double and five RBI in Friday's 9-7 loss to the Rangers.

France had Jacob deGrom's number, launching a grand slam in the first inning before adding a game-tying solo shot in the fourth. It was an unexpected effort from the 31-year-old, who entered the contest just 5-for-38 in June and without a homer since May 29. On the year, he's slashing .259/.306/.490 with eight long balls, 24 RBI, 17 runs scored and a stolen base across 158 plate appearances.

Grissom isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Athletics.

Grissom will get a break Friday after going 1-for-7 with a walk across his first two games back from the injured list. Oswald Peraza will start at the keystone and bat fourth.

Guerrero was removed from Friday's contest versus the Cubs in the sixth inning with an apparent back/side injury, Sportsnet reports.

Vlad Jr. popped out on the first pitch of the top of the sixth inning and immediately grabbed at his back/left side area before jogging slowly to first base. He was removed from the game prior to the bottom of the sixth. The Blue Jays should offer more on Guerrero's condition soon. He was hitless in three plate appearances before departing.
