Ryan (8-4) allowed a run on five hits over seven innings Tuesday, striking out four and taking a loss against Miami. He did not issue a walk.

After yielding a solo homer to Kyle Stowers to begin the second inning, Ryan retired 13 straight Marlins and did not allow another extra-base hit during his outing. However, the Twins were shut out, leading to an unfortunate loss for Ryan. He threw 57 of 88 pitches for strikes and completed seven innings for just the second time since the start of May. Despite the loss, he dropped his ERA to 2.75 with a 108:20 K:BB across 98.1 frames this season. Ryan is slated to face the Rays at home this weekend.

Springer went 3-for-4 with a walk, two home runs and seven RBI in Tuesday's 12-5 win over the Yankees.

The Connecticut-born outfielder provided plenty of fireworks for the Blue Jays on Canada Day, setting a new career high in RBI and launching a solo homer off Max Fried in the fourth inning and a grand slam off Luke Weaver in the seventh. Springer continued a hot streak that began in late June, and over his last 10 games he's batting .457 (16-for-35) with three homers, two steals, nine runs and 15 RBI.

Gausman didn't factor into the decision in Tuesday's 12-5 win over the Yankees, allowing two runs on six hits and four walks over five innings. He struck out three.

The veteran righty gave up two runs in the first inning but was able to escape any further damage despite constant traffic on the basepaths. Gausman got the hook after 99 pitches (62 strikes) with the Jays ahead 4-2, but the bullpen let the lead slip away in the seventh inning before the offense erupted late. It's the fifth time in his last six trips to the mound that Gausman's issued multiple free passes, a bumpy stretch in which he's posted a 5.18 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 32:17 K:BB over 33 innings. He'll try to tighten things up in his next start, which is scheduled to come at home this weekend against the Angels.

Dominguez went 1-for-5 with three RBI in Tuesday's 12-5 loss to the Blue Jays.

A two-run single in the first inning and a fielder's choice in the ninth that brought home Aaron Judge bookended the scoring for the Yankees. The three RBI equaled Dominguez's total from his prior 26 games combined, and his homer drought now stands at 31 contests. Despite that lack of production, the 22-year-old should have a regular spot in the lineup while Trent Grisham (hamstring) is sidelined.

Fried came away with a no-decision in Tuesday's 12-5 loss to the Blue Jays, giving up four runs on three hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out two.

The southpaw had little trouble blanking Toronto through three frames, but Fried served up two homers in the fourth, including a three-run shot by Andres Gimenez that put the Yankees in a 4-2 hole. It's only the second time this season Fried's been tagged for multiple homers in the same start. He'll take a 2.13 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 106:23 K:BB through 114 innings into his next outing, which lines up to come on the road this weekend against the Mets.

Holton will serve as the Tigers' opening pitcher for the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Nationals, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Holton will be opening a game for the fifth time this season, after previously giving up five earned runs across 5.1 frames on the previous four occasions. The left-hander has otherwise been an effective relief option for Detroit with a 3.66 ERA and 24:8 K:BB across 24 innings while recording three wins and eight holds.

Alvarez was shut down from all activities after reporting renewed soreness in his hand while taking swings Monday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Alvarez's fractured right hand has kept him on the injured list since early May. He seemed to be closing in on a return -- potentially as soon as this weekend -- but his setback throws a wrench in the Astros' plans. The 28-year-old slugger is due to visit a specialist within the next couple of days, at which point the team will know more regarding his status and how far away he may be from activation.

Mateo was diagnosed with a strained left hamstring Tuesday and is expected to miss 8-to-12 weeks, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Mateo landed on the injured list in early June due to elbow inflammation. However, after he suffered a hamstring injury during a rehab game at Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday, it now seems likely that his absence will extend into September. As a result, Luis Vazquez, who was selected from Triple-A as Mateo's roster replacement, will likely remain with the big club as bench depth for the foreseeable future.

Westburg (finger) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rangers, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

The 26-year-old is sitting for a fourth consecutive game Tuesday due to the injury to his left index finger. Westburg said Monday that he expects it to linger for a while but he is hoping to be recovered enough to rejoin Baltimore's lineup within the next couple days. Ramon Urias will receive another start at the hot corner for the Orioles on Tuesday.

Jung isn't in the Rangers' lineup Tuesday versus the Orioles.

Jung is getting the day off Tuesday amidst his slump, as he slashed .158/.208/.221 in the month of June. The third baseman is now batting .237 entering July, but he was hovering around .280 prior to June. While the 27-year-old is on the bench Tuesday, Ezequiel Duran gets the start at the hot corner, batting eighth.
