Velazquez is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays.

Velazquez went 1-for-3 with a double, an RBI and a run Sunday, which broke a streak of 20 straight hitless at-bats. Vinnie Pasquantino will serve as the designated hitter while Salvador Perez (back) mans first base.

Yoshida (hand) will undergo an MRI on Wednesday, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

Yoshida jammed his left hand during Sunday's 5-4 win over the Cubs and was not listed in the Red Sox lineup Tuesday. While he's technically active for the contest, he's unlikely to play. Fantasy managers should have a better idea about the severity of the injury after the results of Wednesday's MRI come back. In the meantime, Tyler O'Neill should handle DH duties.

Cooper is starting at first base and batting seventh Tuesday against the Giants, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

The 33-year-old was acquired from the Cubs over the weekend and will make his debut for the Red Sox on Tuesday. Cooper had a .270/.341/.432 slash line in 41 plate appearances for Chicago and should see plenty of playing time at first base while Triston Casas (ribs) is sidelined.

Yoshida (hand) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Giants , Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

The 30-year-old suffered a left hand injury during Sunday's win over the Cubs and needs a bit more time to recover coming off Monday's scheduled team day. It's unclear if Yoshida will be available off the bench, and he should be considered day-to-day. Tyler O'Neill will receive a turn at designated hitter while Rob Refsnyder starts in left field.

Tucker went 1-for-3 with a walk, an RBI and a stolen base in a 6-5 victory versus Philadelphia on Monday.

Tucker was called up to the big club Monday afternoon and batted seventh while working as the Angels' DH. The 27-year-old made a tangible impact in his team debut, walking and stealing a base in his first plate appearance, then tying the game with a run-scoring single in the sixth inning. It's unclear how often Tucker will be in the lineup since he doesn't have an obvious path to everyday playing time.

Garver went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk Monday in a 2-1 win over Atlanta.

It's been a rough season for Garver, as he's slashing just .150/.266/.313 through 94 plate appearances. However, Seattle has stuck with him as the team's primary DH, and that decision paid off Monday when he launched a two-run, ninth-inning shot to give the Mariners a come-from-behind win. Garver could be building a bit of momentum, as he's gone deep in two of his past four games.

Turner went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and a solo home run during Monday's 6-5 win over the Royals.

Turner dominated Royals starter Jonathan Bowlan -- who was making his second career start -- notching home runs off him in the first and third innings. The contest doubled Turner's 2024 home run total and was his first multi-homer game since June of 2023. Through 28 games, Turner is slashing .311/.390/.533 with 15 RBI and 15 runs scored.

Carpenter (oblique) could begin a rehab assignment as soon as Thursday, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Carpenter has progressed well since being given an injection for his right oblique strain a week ago, having taken a couple rounds of batting practice without issue. It sounds like he might be ready for activation within the next week or so.

Ramirez is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Brewers.

Ramirez will take a seat for the second time in three days while Yandy Diaz gets a day off at first base and serves as the Rays' designated hitter after he recently returned from a left pinkie finger injury. Though Ramirez still appears to be the Rays' top option on the depth chart at DH for the time being, he'll be at risk of moving a short-side platoon role once Jonathan Aranda (finger) is activated from the 10-day injured list.

Sanchez is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rays.

Sanchez went 3-for-10 with a pair of doubles, a walk, two runs and an RBI while making starts in each of the last three games, with two coming as a designated hitter and one coming at catcher. The Brewers haven't yet shown a willingness to deploy Sanchez at DH on a consistent basis, so he seems likely to remain in a part-time role while top backstop William Contreras is healthy.
