Pederson (hand) has been healing well and has been given clearance to shed the splint he's been wearing, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com

Pederson broke his right hand in late May, but his five-week scans showed good healing. He can now begin strengthening his hand without wearing a brace. He still has plenty of hurdles to clear before being activated, however, so a pre-All-Star break return seems unlikely.

Yoshida (shoulder) could begin a rehab assignment Tuesday, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

Yoshida is expected to play outfield during his rehab stint, a notable development considering Yoshida exclusively played DH in 2024. It's unclear how many games Yoshida will need to ramp up, but he's nearing a big-league return. He's been on the shelf since October after undergoing right shoulder surgery.

Larnach went 2-for-5 with a two-run homer, an additional run scored and three total RBI in Thursday's 10-1 victory over Seattle.

Larnach broke a scoreless tie in the fifth inning with a 421-foot blast off Emerson Hancock, his 12th homer this season. The 28-year-old Larnach has been swinging the bat well, going 7-for-20 with a pair of homers in his last five games. Overall, he's slashing .259/.328/.436 with 43 runs scored and 39 RBI through 315 plate appearances this year.

Polanco is not in the lineup for Thursday's game in Minnesota.

Polanco made just one start during the Mariners' three-game set against the Twins. The 31-year-old has posted a .494 OPS since the beginning of May and could be at risk of losing out on a regular spot in the lineup. Cal Raleigh will get a start at designated hitter Thursday, while Mitch Garver handles catching duties.

Triple-A Durham reinstated Jimenez (Achilles) from its 7-day injured list Tuesday.

Jimenez didn't play Tuesday in Durham's 15-6 win over Memphis, but he's healthy again after missing the past five weeks with right Achilles tendinitis. Prior to being activated, Jimenez played in eight rehab games in the rookie-level Florida Complex League and went 2-for-21 with six walks.

Rooker went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 11-4 loss to the Tigers.

The 30-year-old slugger jumped on the first pitch he saw from Tarik Skubal, turning on a 96-mph fastball and ripping it deep down the left-field line to get the A's on the board. Rooker has been locked in for most of June, slashing .317/.417/.512 over 22 games with three of his 16 homers and 12 of his 43 RBI on the season.

Manzardo went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 10-6 loss to Toronto.

Manzardo entered as a pinch hitter for David Fry in the seventh and finished the game at designated hitter. He eventually launched his 12th home run of the season -- and first in 13 games -- in the ninth inning. Manzardo had a nice start to the season as the team's primary DH -- he homered eight times and had a .557 slugging percentage through the first 26 contests -- but he has since lost playing time to Fry as his power stroke has waned. Since April 30, Manzardo has just four home runs and is slugging .378 over 41 games.

Diaz went 3-for-4 with a double, a run scored and a walk in Tuesday's win over the Royals.

Diaz collected hits in the first, third and fifth innings and came around to score in the latter. He's been on an unreal tear lately, collecting multiple hits in six straight contests and 11 times during his active 14-game hitting streak. During that span, he's gone 29-for-60 (.483), raising his season slash line to .289/.338/.470 with 29 extra-base hits and 36 runs scored.

Alvarez (hand) hit off a tee Sunday and is scheduled to do so again Tuesday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

It's the first time he's swung a bat since an MRI on his right hand in late May revealed a previously undiagnosed fracture. Alvarez has been shelved since early May and will need to go through a hitting progression and likely a rehab assignment before returning to the Astros' active roster.

Stanton is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game in Cincinnati.

Stanton has been on a two-on, one-off plan since returning from the injured list, and it's his turn to sit out Tuesday after starting the previous two days. Ben Rice is at designated hitter and batting second for the Yankees.
