Yankees manager Aaron Boone said in his appearance on Jomboy Media's "Talkin' Yanks" podcast that McMahon will be out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rays.

McMahon will get his second day off overall and first day off against a right-handed starter (Shane Baz) since he was acquired from the Rockies on July 25. Jose Caballero will play third base and bat ninth Tuesday.

The Guardians are expected to call up Messick from Triple-A Columbus to start or pitch in bulk relief Wednesday in Arizona, SI.com reports.

One of Cleveland's top pitching prospects, Messick will be making his MLB debut Wednesday as he steps into the rotation spot that previously belonged to Joey Cantillo, who was optioned to Triple-A over the weekend. Messick had been a standout performer at Columbus this season, generating a 3.47 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 119:42 K:BB in 98.2 innings over 20 starts. The 24-year-old southpaw could earn multiple turns through the Cleveland rotation if he fares well in his MLB debut, though he'll be at risk of losing his spot once rehabbing lefty John Means (elbow) is cleared to return from the 60-day injured list.

The Astros will recall VanWey from Triple-A Sugar Land prior to Tuesday's game in Detroit, Ari Alexander of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

VanWey will provide a fresh bullpen arm for the Astros. The 26-year-old holds a 6.23 ERA and 5:3 K:BB over 8.2 frames during his time with the big club this season.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said in his appearance on Jomboy Media's "Talkin' Yanks" podcast that Stanton (soreness) will start in right field and bat cleanup Tuesday versus the Rays.

Stanton had been held out of the lineup for the previous three games while dealing with general soreness, but he served as a pinch hitter during Sunday's St. Louis and will return to right field Tuesday following a team off day Monday. Boone also noted that Stanton won't be in the lineup Wednesday against Tampa Bay prior to the team's four-game series against the Red Sox that begins Thursday.

Tellez started at first base and went 1-for-4 with an RBI in Monday's 4-3 loss to Kansas City.

Tellez got the call at first base in the Rangers' first game after the team placed Jake Burger (wrist) on the 10-day injured list. Tellez could serve as the strong side of platoon at first base while Josh Smith covers right field in the absence of Adolis Garcia (ankle). Joc Pederson, who was the designated hitter Monday, is also a left-handed bat that could play first base against righties.

Smith started in right field and went 0-for-4 in Monday's 4-3 loss to the Royals.

Smith has started four consecutive games in right field, a spot that normally is filled by the injured Adolis Garcia (ankle). Smith makes a good living in Texas as a fill-in for injured players regardless of position. He's started games at first base (24), third base (28), shortstop (31) and all three outfield spots (13).

Ramirez went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Monday's 3-1 win over the Diamondbacks.

Ramirez's first-inning single snapped an 0-for-11 funk over the previous three games, the second-longest slump of the season for the third baseman. The steal was his 36th of the season.

Kwan went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Monday's 3-1 win over Arizona.

Kwan extended a hit streak to six games, during which he's gone 9-for-24 (.375) with two extra-base hits, three steals and five runs scored. Prior to his recent uprising, Kwan went 6-for-40 (.150) over nine games. He's up to 14 stolen bases through 118 contests.

Duran went 1-for-3 with a double and three RBI in Monday's 6-3 loss to Baltimore.

Duran produced a run with a sacrifice fly in the seventh inning and then two more in the ninth with a double. It was the third consecutive game with a two-bagger for Duran, who leads the club with 34 of them. He's up to 69 RBI through 123 games and is poised to top the career-high 75 he posted over 160 games in 2024, when he was the club's primary leadoff hitter.

Lowe entered Monday's game as a pinch hitter, walked and scored a run in a 6-3 loss to the Orioles.

Lowe pinch hit in the bottom of the ninth inning and was not needed for the field. He was officially added to the roster Monday and wasn't in the starting lineup against a left-hander. Lowe could enter the starting nine Tuesday against Baltimore right-hander Tomoyuki Sugano.
