Raley went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in a win over the Yankees on Tuesday.

The Mariners had their power stroke in solid form Tuesday, and Raley delivered one of four homers for Seattle on the night. The surging outfielder extended his hitting streak to eight games in the process, a stretch where he's left the yard on three occasions overall and has struck out at an atypically low 18.2 percent clip.

Perez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals.

Unless the Tigers deploy him off the bench Wednesday, Perez will put his five-game hitting streak on hold in the series finale while he exits the starting nine for the first time since May 12. Matt Vierling will spell Perez in center field.

Carpenter is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals.

With a tough southpaw (Cole Ragans) taking the hill for Kansas City, the lefty-hitting Carpenter will retreat to the bench for the series finale. Mark Canha will replace Carpenter in right field.

Kelly is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals.

Kelly had started behind the dish in three of the past four games, but he'll give way to Jake Rogers as the Tigers and Royals wrap up their series with a day game after a night game. Rogers appeared to have supplanted Kelly as the top option behind the plate toward the end of April, but playing time between the two backstops has been more equitable in May, with Kelly having thus far garnered 10 starts at catcher to Rogers' nine on the month.

Manzardo is absent from the lineup in Wednesday's game versus the Mets.

In Jose Quintana, the Guardians are facing their second southpaw since Kyle Manzardo was promoted, and the left-handed hitting rookie has been on the bench for both of them. Jose Ramirez is getting a start at designated hitter Wednesday, with Gabriel Arias handling third base.

Florial will start in left field and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Mets.

Though the lefty-hitting Florial is starting against a southpaw (Jose Quintana), the Guardians have seemingly pulled the plug on the 26-year-old being a regular part of the lineup versus right-handed pitching. Florial started just once while Cleveland opposed righty starters in each of the previous five contests.

Brennan is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets.

The lefty-hitting Brennan will head to the bench with southpaw Jose Quintana on the hill for the Mets. While Brennan sits, Johnathan Rodriguez will draw a second straight start in the Guardians outfield to wrap up the series versus the Mets after the rookie went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in Tuesday's 7-6 win.

Mayea (undisclosed) is 1-for-4 with two walks and one strikeout in two games since getting activated for the Florida Complex League Yankees on Monday.

Mayea was the Yankees' top international signee in 2023 and slashed .276/.382/.400 with three home runs, 22 steals and a 15.9 percent strikeout rate in 38 games in the Dominican Summer League last year. Given that the speedy center fielder turns 19 in September, the expectation should be that he has success against FCL pitching this summer.

Naylor is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets.

Naylor started behind the dish in the first two games of the series, so he's likely just getting a breather as the Guardians and Mets wrap up their three-game set with an afternoon matchup. Austin Hedges will handle the catching duties for Cleveland.

Naylor is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets.

The Mets are starting left-hander Jose Quintana and the two teams are concluding the series with a day game after a night game, so it's a sensible spot for Guardians manager Stephen Vogt to give the left-handed-hitting Naylor a breather. David Fry will start at first base Wednesday in Naylor's stead.
