Manzardo went 2-for-3 with a walk and a walk-off solo home run in Tuesday's 2-1 win against the Twins.

Offense was at a premium Tuesday in Cleveland, but Manzardo had a productive evening and came through in the clutch with a solo homer to break a 1-1 tie in the bottom of the ninth inning. The 24-year-old is batting just .227 through 26 games this season, but he's still showcased his power potential with eight long balls. Manzardo has provided a bit more consistency over the past 10 games, however, having gone 11-for-37 (.297 average) with two doubles and three homers.

Suzuki went 3-for-4 with a two-run homer, a double, a triple, three runs scored and a walk in Tuesday's win over Pittsburgh.

Suzuki finished a single short of the cycle in Tuesday's dominant performance. He doubled and scored in the fourth inning, knocked a two-run shot in the seventh and capped off his day with a triple and another run scored in the ninth. Suzuki has collected multiple hits in four of his last six games. He owns a strong .298/.368/.596 slash line with 15 extra-base hits and 25 RBI through 117 plate appearances.

Rice went 3-for-5 with two solo home runs and four runs scored in Tuesday's 15-3 win over the Orioles.

Rice was on the bench for the series opener Monday, and the additional rest paid off. He was one of five Yankee players to hit a home run in Tuesday's contest, with both of his two solo shots came off the returning Kyle Gibson in the first and second innings. Rice is up to eight home runs on the season, which surpasses his mark from 2024 (seven) in 72 less plate appearances. He has a .998 OPS with 22 runs scored and 13 RBI this season.

The Padres designated Gurriel for assignment Tuesday.

Gurriel has started 2025 very poorly, going just 4-for-36 with three RBI and two runs scored over 16 games. He'll now end up as one of the roster casualties needed to make room for the return of both Luis Arraez (concussion) and Jason Heyward (knee) from the injured list.

Manager Alex Cora said Tuesday that Yoshida (shoulder) could head back to Boston to be evaluated since the outfielder's throwing program is "not going well," Rob Bradford of WEEI.com reports.

The 31-year-old was expected to begin playing in extended spring training games in mid-April but hasn't made the necessary progress in his throwing program. Yoshida could be headed for additional treatment, which would further push back his season debut. He primarily served as a designated hitter last season, but Yoshida needs to be able to throw from the outfield to be major-league ready in 2025 since the offseason signing of Alex Bregman has resulted in Rafael Devers serving as the everyday DH.

Alvarez (undisclosed) will start at designated hitter and bat third in Tuesday's game versus the Tigers.

Alvarez was pulled from Monday's game with an undisclosed injury after hitting a single in the bottom of the seventh inning. Whatever he was dealing with evidently was not a big deal, as he will not have to miss any starts.

O'Hearn is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Yankees.

O'Hearn rarely starts against left-handed pitching, and he will begin Tuesday's contest on the bench as the Yankees send southpaw Carlos Rodon to the bump. Ryan Mountcastle is in the designated hitter spot, and Emmanuel Rivera will play first base.

Winker went 2-for-4 with two walks, four runs scored and an RBI in Monday's rout of the Nationals.

The Mets combined for 21 hits and 19 runs, and Winker was right in the middle of the offensive eruption as the cleanup hitter. The 31-year-old is beginning to climb out of his early-season hole at the plate, and over his last nine games he's batting .276 (8-for-29) with three doubles, a homer, three RBI and seven runs while working on the strong side of a platoon at DH with Starling Marte.

Ohtani went 1-for-2 with a run, three walks and a stolen base in a 7-6 extra-inning victory versus Miami on Monday.

The Marlins largely pitched around Ohtani in the contest, putting him on base via walk three times. The superstar slugger was able to make the most of his lone hit by following his first-inning single with a steal of second base before coming around to score on a Freddie Freeman base knock. Ohtani hasn't homered in his past seven contests, but he's picked up a pair of thefts in that span while going 8-for-27 (.296 batting average) at the plate.

Keaschall may not need surgery on his fractured right ulna bone, but is still expected to miss two months or more, the Minnesota Star Tribune reports. "It's probably going to be a couple months before he's back into playing games," said Twins head athletic trainer Nick Paparesta.

He suffered a right forearm fracture after getting hit by a pitch in the first inning of Friday's game. Keaschall will undergo weekly X-rays to check his progress and to confirm he won't need a plate inserted in his arm to heal properly.
