Chisholm went 2-for-5 with two home runs and five RBI in Monday's 8-5 win over the Pirates.

Chisholm's power at the plate has not been the same this season compared to previous years. However, he gave the Yankees an early 4-0 lead with a three-run homer off Braxton Ashcraft in the first inning before giving the Bronx Bombers the lead for good with a two-run blast in the third. It was the first multi-homer game of the season for Chisholm, which he did four times last year. He's up to a .726 OPS with 26 steals, 16 home runs and 43 RBI across 375 plate appearances this season.

Bazzana went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run scored during Cleveland's 13-4 win over Minnesota on Monday.

Bazzana was responsible for one of the Guardians' six home runs off Joe Ryan on Monday, with the latter's taking place in the third inning to extend Cleveland's lead to 6-2. Bazzana has gone yard in two of his last three games and is up to nine home runs on the season. He has a .756 OPS with 13 steals and 32 RBI across 300 plate appearances this season.

Kiner-Falefa (forearm) has been cleared to start his hitting progression with dry swings, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.

Healy relays that Kiner-Falefa is still "weeks away" from returning from the 10-day injured list, but the good news for the veteran infielder is that he has been given the green light to take the next step in his recovery program. He has not played since June 18 while recovering from a stress reaction in his left forearm.

Mayer (forearm) has been cleared to start his hitting progression with dry swings, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.

Healey notes that Mayer is "still weeks away" from returning to major-league action. However, it's a step in the right direction for Mayer, who has been sidelined by a stress reaction in his left forearm since June 25. The Red Sox should have a more clear idea of Mayer's return timeline once he's cleared to embark on a rehab assignment.

The Tigers reinstated Torres (oblique) from the 10-day injured list Monday.

Torres needed a month-long stint on the IL due to a left oblique strain. He was cleared to embark on a rehab assignment during the All-Star break, and he's progressed enough in his recovery to return to the majors, meaning both Zach McKinstry and Hao-Yu Lee will see less time at the keystone. Catcher Eduardo Valencia was optioned to Triple-A Toledo in a corresponding move.

Holliday is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Red Sox.

Holliday will join fellow left-handed hitters Samuel Basallo (shoulder), Colton Cowser and Dylan Beavers on the bench while the Red Sox send southpaw Payton Tolle to the bump for the series opener. Jeremiah Jackson will replace Holliday at second base and will bat seventh.

High-A Greenville transferred Godbout (hand) to the 60-day injured list June 8.

Godbout had left hand surgery after getting hit on the hand by a pitch at the end of May, per Ian Cundall of Baseball America. Prior to the injury, Godbout, 22, slashed .277/.410/.492 with seven home runs, a 13.7 percent walk rate and a 16.8 percent strikeout rate in 34 games for the Drive.

Keaschall is not in the lineup for Monday's contest in Cleveland.

Keaschall had started eight straight in center field and 13 straight overall, but Byron Buxton is back from the injured list Monday and will be flanked in center field by Trevor Larnach and Alan Roden. The 23-year-old Keaschall is off to a great start in July, slashing .405/.510/.622.

Frazier (elbow) began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday, going 0-for-3 with two strikeouts.

Frazier played in his first game in more than six weeks as he battles his way back from right elbow inflammation. He played six innings at second base in his first rehab contest, and the Angels will likely want to see him get in at least one full game before returning him to the active roster.

Chisholm went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Dodgers.

After going 1-for-3 with a double and a run scored in a losing effort during Sunday's matinee, Chisholm blasted a go-ahead solo homer in the eighth inning to lift the Yankees in the nightcap. The second baseman is hitting .239/.280/.435 with two homers, five RBI, seven runs and two stolen bases across 13 games in July. After a standout first full season in pinstripes in 2025, the 28-year-old has taken a step back in 2026, slashing .224/.302/.403 with 14 homers, 38 RBI, 49 runs and 26 stolen bases across 94 contests.
