Guerrero isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Yankees.

Guerrero will take a rare day off Saturday after going 1-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored during Friday's series opener. Charles McAdoo will take over as Toronto's first baseman as a result and bat eighth.

Kirk isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Yankees.

Kirk went 3-for-3 with a walk, two RBI and a run scored during his first game back from the IL on Friday, and he'll now retreat to the bench as the Jays look to ease him back into regular playing time. Brandon Valenzuela will fill in behind the plate and bat sixth.

Crews went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's loss to the Mariners.

The 24-year-old outfielder got hold of a 3-0 fastball from Bryce Miller to lead off in the eighth inning and crushed it 440 feet to center field. Crews is still struggling to find his footing in the majors, slashing .189/.241/.324 through 20 games since being called up in mid-May with three homers, two steals, eight runs and eight RBI.

Wood went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's loss to the Mariners.

The 23-year-old star took Bryce Miller deep in the fourth inning to get the Nationals on the board, but they were already in a 5-0 hole at that point. Wood has homered in back-to-back games, giving him 19 on the year, and over the last 16 contests he's slashing a sizzling .344/.444/.656 with six long balls, four steals, 10 RBI and 18 runs.

The Yankees reinstated Dominguez (shoulder) from the injured list Saturday.

Dominguez landed on the injured list in early May with a sprained AC joint in his left shoulder and was cleared to begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A on June 5. Since then, he's gone 5-for-18 with two homers, three RBI and two steals across five games. Now fully healthy, the 23-year-old is expected to make regular starts in the outfield for New York following Trent Grisham's (hamstring) move to the injured list.

Soto went 2-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Friday's win over Atlanta.

The superstar outfielder went back-to-back with Bo Bichette in the first inning off Spencer Strider. Soto has gone yard himself in back-to-back games, and over his last 15 contests he's clubbed five of his 15 long balls on the season while slashing .255/.339/.545 with nine runs and 11 RBI.

The Yankees placed Grisham on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a right hamstring strain.

Grisham was injured while rounding first base in the sixth inning of Friday's game, and he'll now have to miss at least the next 10 days after being diagnosed with a strain. Jasson Dominguez (shoulder) was activated from the injured list in a corresponding move and figures to start regularly in New York's outfield until Grisham returns.

Rafaela went 3-for-5 with two doubles, a home run, three RBI and two additional runs scored in Friday's 10-1 win over the Rangers.

Rafaela belted his second homer in as many games and has knocked in six runs the last two nights. During the month of June, the center fielder is slashing .351/.368/.595 with five extra-base hits, seven RBI, a stolen base and six runs scored over nine games.

Abreu went 3-for-4 with two doubles, a home run, three RBI and two additional runs scored in Friday's 10-1 win over Texas.

It was a big night for hitters No. 2 through 4 in Boston's order. Ceddanne Rafaela, Abreu and Willson Contreras combined to go 9-for-13 with five doubles, three home runs and eight RBI in the win. Abreu entered the game with a .194 average and .535 OPS over his first eight games in June.

Okamoto went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's win over the Yankees.

The third baseman took Ryan Weathers deep in the first inning, ripping a slider down the left-field line into the upper deck at the Rogers Centre. Per TSN.ca, Okamoto is only the 19th player in the history of the stadium and just the 10th Blue Jay to reach the 500 level with a long ball, a feat last accomplished by a Toronto player when Josh Donaldson did it in 2017. Through 10 games to begin June, Okamoto is slashing .316/.341/.500 with two homers, five runs and seven RBI.
