Dominguez is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Rays.

Dominguez is batting .171 (6-for-41) with 19 strikeouts across his past 11 games and will sit Friday for the second time in the Yankees' last three contests. Cody Bellinger will again shift to left field while Trent Grisham starts in center.

Jones is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Blue Jays.

Across 83 plate appearances this season, Jones sports an ugly .169/.289/.282 slash line with one home run and five RBI.

With Butler sitting, Seth Brown is getting the start in right field and batting sixth, while Jacob Wilson moves up to the leadoff spot.

Varsho is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Guardians.

With left-hander Logan Allen on the mound for Cleveland, the lefty-swinging Varsho will take a seat as Myles Straw gets the start in center field, batting eighth.
