The Blue Jays reinstated Springer (personal) from the family emergency medical list Monday.

Springer is back with the Blue Jays, but he'll have to wait at least one more day to re-enter the lineup while Toronto goes with Sean Keys as its designated hitter in Monday's series opener in San Francisco. The Blue Jays reopened a spot on the 26-man active roster for Springer by placing reliever Braydon Fisher (personal) on the bereavement list.

Springer (personal) is not in the Blue Jays' starting lineup against the Giants on Monday.

Springer was moved from the paternity list to the family medical emergency list Saturday and is expected to join the Blue Jays for their series in San Francisco, but he will not be in the lineup for the series opener. Sean Keys will serve as Toronto's designated hitter and bat fifth.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Monday that Stanton (calf) has yet to resume running since he suffered a setback with his strained right calf in early June, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

Stanton has been doing some work on the treadmill, but he's not ready to run on the field yet and there's no timetable for him to do so. Boone added Monday that he expects Stanton to return at some point later this season, but no timeline for the designated hitter's activation will surface until he's able to ramp up activities with no encumbrances.

Yoshida went 3-for-5 with an RBI in Sunday's 7-5 win over the Angels.

Yoshida's third single of the day in the seventh inning upped Boston's lead to 7-3. This was the first appearance five games for Yoshida, who is part of a rotation at designated hitter. He's hit safely in four straight games (7-for-13) with a double, a home run and two RBI during that stretch.

Gonzalez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.

Gonzalez will hit the bench after he started in each of the Red Sox's last four games while going 6-for-16 with a home run, a triple, four RBI and two runs. Masataka Yoshida will serve as Boston's designated hitter Sunday, but he's generated a tepid .250/.331/.350 slash line on the season and could see his opportunities take a hit while Gonzalez has produced well since returning from the 60-day injured list June 28.

Canzone is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

Canzone started the previous three games but will hit the bench Sunday after going 3-for-11 with two walks, a homer, three RBI and two total runs during that span. Cal Raleigh will rest his legs as the designated hitter while Mitch Garver starts behind the plate in the series finale.

Gonzalez started at designated hitter and went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 8-1 win over the Angels.

Gonzalez went yard in the fifth inning to extend Boston's lead to 7-1. It was his first homer since coming off the injured list and his second consecutive game with two RBI. Gonzalez typically crushes left-handers, which is why he was in the lineup Saturday, but he's started four consecutive games since being activated, including two against right-handers. He can play all around the infield and could see regular turns at DH. He's gone 6-for-20 with a triple, a home run and four RBI over five games since rejoining the lineup.

Alvarez went 3-for-4 with two home runs and six RBI in Saturday's 10-8 win over the Rays.

Alvarez bookended Saturday's game in dramatic fashion, first launching a first-inning solo shot and later blasting a walk-off, two-run jack in the ninth. The All-Star slugger now has a trio of three-hit games in his past four outings and four multi-homer efforts on the year. Through 388 plate appearances, Alvarez is slashing a robust .324/.433/.645 with 29 long balls, 16 doubles and 67 RBI.

Canzone went 2-for-4 with a home run, a walk, three RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 11-0 win over the Blue Jays.

Canzone launched a two-run shot in the fifth inning before adding an RBI single in the sixth. While the 28-year-old has started only eight of the Mariners' past 12 games, he's gone deep three times during that span. On the year, he's slashing .273/.349/.551 with 14 homers, 37 RBI, 32 runs scored and one steal across 232 plate appearances.

Bell went 3-for-5 with a double, two home runs and three RBI in Saturday's 11-4 win over the Yankees.

The veteran DH led the charge in an 11-hit, six-homer barrage by the Twins, as Bell launched a solo shot off Ryan Yarbrough in the seventh inning and a two-run blast in the eighth off Camilo Doval. The 10 total bases were a season high, continuing a power surge that has seen Bell go yard four times in the last five games. Over his last 24 contests, he's batting .307 (27-for-88) with 15 extra-base hits including eight home runs, along with 15 runs and 26 RBI.
