Rice is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Mets.

Rice is hitting just .225 in May but still has a .761 OPS this month thanks to six doubles and a homer, and he finds himself on the bench Friday for the second time in the Yankees' past three games. Jasson Dominguez will receive a turn at designated hitter while Cody Bellinger, Trent Grisham and Aaron Judge start from left to right in the outfield.

Santander is not in the lineup for Friday's game versus the Tigers.

Santander went 1-for-12 with five strikeouts in the past three games after sitting out a few days due to a shoulder issue, and he'll hit the bench for Friday's series opener against the Tigers. George Springer will serve as the designated hitter while Jonatan Clase and Nathan Lukes start in the corner outfield spots.

The Rays reinstated Diaz (personal) from the restricted list Friday.

The 33-year-old was unavailable for a three-game series in Toronto due to a passport issue, but he's back with the Rays for Friday's series opener in Miami. Diaz has a .238/.291/.400 slash line with six homers through 175 plate appearances this year, and he's batting just .184 (7-for-38) through 10 games in May.

Alvarez (hand) is still "a few days away" from returning to the lineup, Matt Kawahara reports.

Alvarez hit in the cage again Thursday, and manager Joe Espada relayed that everything went according to plan. It appears that Alvarez will return at some point during Houston's weekend series, but he remained out of the lineup Thursday against the Rangers.

Manzardo went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 9-5 loss to Milwaukee.

Manzardo put the Guardians on the board with a second-inning home run. After leaving the yard five times over 53 games in 2024, Manzardo has gone deep 10 times in 38 games this season.

Rice isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mariners.

Rice will get a chance to catch his breath Tuesday after going 1-for-6 with an RBI and two strikeouts during Monday's victory. Jasson Dominguez will fill in as New York's DH and bat seventh.

Polanco is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Yankees.

Polanco has been playing pretty regularly, but he'll head to the bench against tough lefty Max Fried. Polanco is hitting .327 with 10 home runs and one steal in 31 games.

Diaz is on the restricted list because there was a delay in having his passport renewed as the team traveled to Toronto, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Diaz will presumably miss the series in Toronto before returning to action this weekend in Miami.

The Rays placed Diaz on the restricted list Tuesday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

It's unclear what the reason is for Diaz being placed on the restricted list or how long he'll be unavailable. Coco Montes was recalled from Triple-A Durham in a corresponding move.

Santander (shoulder) will start at designated hitter and bat third Tuesday against the Rays.

As expected, Santander is back in action after sitting out the Blue Jays' entire weekend series in Seattle. He suffered the shoulder injury while playing the outfield Thursday, and the Blue Jays could look to use him at DH in the short term if his throwing is still an issue. Santander is hitting .196 with five home runs in 160 plate appearances during his first season in Toronto.
