Caglianone (groin) will start at designated hitter and bat third in Tuesday's game versus the Rays.

Caglianone had to be scratched from Sunday's lineup due to left groin soreness, but he's feeling well enough to give it a go in Tuesday's series opener following the Royals' team off day Monday. The 23-year-old enters play Tuesday having gone just 1-for-15 with eight strikeouts over his last four contests.

Nimmo (shoulder) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Guardians.

The veteran outfielder will sit for a second consecutive game after being diagnosed with an AC joint sprain in his left shoulder. Nimmo is undergoing additional testing Tuesday, which could help to determine whether or not he'll require a trip to the injured list.

Rocchio is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Rangers.

It's the first day off since May 23 for Rocchio, who has slowed in June with a .225/.276/.326 slash line. Daniel Schneemann will start at shortstop for the Guardians.

Okamoto is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mets.

Okamoto will receive a day off on his 30th birthday. The Blue Jays will roll with rookie Sean Keys at third base and in the cleanup spot in Okamoto's stead.

Antonacci is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Orioles.

Antonacci started the previous 10 games and will receive a day off after posting a .342/.444/.474 slash line with five walks, two doubles, a homer and two steals during that stretch. Junior Perez will pick up a start in left field Tuesday for Chicago.

Mayo is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the White Sox, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Mayo is sitting Tuesday for a second straight game after starting the previous nine contests. He's been spending more time at designated hitter of late with Blaze Alexander appearing to take over as Baltimore's primary third baseman, which could result in a reduced role for Mayo.

Alexander will start at third base and bat eighth in Tuesday's game against the White Sox.

The 27-year-old has been used in a super utility role for the bulk of this season, but Alexander could be settling in as the Orioles' primary third baseman against righties over Coby Mayo. Alexander has garnered five of the past six starts at third base for the Orioles, and 13 of his last 14 starts have come at the hot corner.

Rutschman is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the White Sox.

Rutschman started each of the last two days after being activated from the 7-day concussion injured list, but he'll get a breather Tuesday. Samuel Basallo is doing the catching for the Orioles.

Rosario belted a three-run home run as a pinch hitter in Monday's 7-3 loss to Detroit.

The Yankees were being shut out when Rosario came off the bench to pinch hit for Austin Wells with two runners on base in the eighth inning. The utility man came through with a blast to left-center field to plate the only New York runs in the game. Rosario had made four straight starts prior to Monday, and he could be in store for more opportunities in the lineup moving forward after Jazz Chisholm landed in concussion protocol following a collision with teammate Jasson Dominguez in Monday's loss.

McClanahan is slated to start Wednesday's game against the Royals in Kansas City, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

McClanahan will return to the bump on seven days' rest, after the Rays elected to skip his turn through the rotation last week in an effort to monitor his workload coming off two seasons that were essentially wiped out due to injury. The 29-year-old has thus far been a picture of health in 2026, though he had seen his effectiveness wane over his four June starts (5.79 ERA, 1.82 WHIP in 18.2 innings). The Rays are hoping that the extra rest will allow McClanahan to deliver a bounce-back performance Wednesday, when he'll be taking on a banged-up Royals lineup that could be without one of its hotter hitters in Jac Caglianone (groin).
