Manzardo went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs in Sunday's 6-4 loss to the White Sox.

The Cleveland slugger posted his third career multi-homer game and second of the season in the series finale at Chicago. Manzardo cracked a 408-foot solo shot off White Sox starter Davis Martin in the fourth before returning in the seventh to slug another solo homer off reliever Jordan Leasure. The 25-year-old has been hot since the All-Star break, batting .368 (21-for-57) with five long balls, 15 RBI and seven runs across 18 contests. Through 368 total plate appearances, Manzardo is slashing .244/.323/.485 with 20 homers, 52 RBI and 34 runs scored.

Stanton is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.

He was on the bench for three straight games following Aaron Judge's return from the injured list Tuesday, but Stanton rejoined the starting nine in right field Saturday. His seven-inning appearance was his first defensive action since the 2023 season, and right field looks as though it will be his primary path to playing time in the short term while Judge's elbow temporarily limits him to DH duties. According to Max Goodman of NJ.com, manager Aaron Boone said he "flirted" with the idea of handing Stanton a second straight start in the outfield Sunday, but the Yankees will take a more cautious approach with the historically injury-prone slugger.

Gasper will start at catcher and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Royals.

Despite going 0-for-10 at the dish while starting each of the past three games at either first base or designated hitter, Gasper will stick in the lineup Sunday, this time filling in behind the plate while Ryan Jeffers serves as the Twins' DH. Gasper is likely to fade back into a reserve role once Matt Wallner (personal) returns from the paternity list in the next day or two.

Larnach (side) will start in right field and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Royals.

Larnach didn't start in any of the last three games while he managed a side injury, but he felt well enough to make a pinch-hit appearance in Saturday's 2-0 loss. He'll step back into the lineup and take over in right field while Matt Wallner (personal) remains on the paternity list.

Manzardo went 1-for-2 with two walks and an RBI in Saturday's 3-1 win over the White Sox.

Manzardo wouldn't let Steven Kwan's leadoff double in the first inning go to waste, as he gave the Guardians an early lead with a two-out, RBI single. He's hit safely in 13 of 17 games (16 starts) in the second half, slashing .358/.453/.585 with three home runs and 13 RBI during that stretch. The lefty batter, who remains limited to mainly facing right-handed pitching, has been more effective of late than he was in the first half of the season, when Manzardo logged a .217/.293/.442 slash line.

Larnach (side) went grounded out as a pinch hitter in his lone plate appearance in Saturday's 2-0 loss to the Royals.

Larnach had been out of the lineup for the previous three games due to left side soreness as well as soreness in both of his arms, according to Phil Miller of the Minnesota Star Tribune. However, his return to action off the bench Saturday suggests he'll rejoin the lineup soon.

Rooker went 2-for-5 with a home run, a double and four RBI in Saturday's 11-3 win over the Orioles.

Rooker put the Athletics ahead with a three-run homer in the third inning before adding an RBI double in the fifth. The 30-year-old is 9-for-33 through eight August contests, tallying four extra-base hits, eight RBI, five runs scored and a rare stolen base in that span. For the season, he's slashing .274/.346/.500 with 24 homers, 70 RBI, 73 runs scored and five steals across 518 plate appearances.

Larnach (side) is not in the Twins' starting lineup against the Royals on Saturday.

Larnach will miss a third consecutive game while working through left side soreness that flared up before Wednesday's game against the Tigers. Carson McCusker will serve as the designated hitter and bat sixth.

Yoshida went 2-for-4 with a double, a home run and three RBI in Friday's 10-2 win over the Padres.

The 32-year-old put an exclamation point on the rout when he launched a two-run homer off Sean Reynolds in the ninth inning. Yoshida has two long balls on the season, both of which have come in his last five starts, but his playing time and production both remain inconsistent. Over 47 plate appearances since the All-Star break, Yoshida is slashing .227/.255/.409 with three runs, six RBI and a 1:10 BB:K.

Diaz isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against Seattle, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

Diaz will get a breather Friday after going 5-for-25 with two homers, four RBI and four runs scored through his first six games of August. His absence will cause Brandon Lowe to shift to first base while Tristan Gray covers second.
