Rice now has catcher eligibility in some more leagues, which gives his value a boost in AL-only leagues or mixed leagues that play two catchers. Because his role has been reduced with Giancarlo Stanton back, he probably doesn’t rate as a top-10 catcher for those in one-catcher mixed leagues, but he’s still close and he might be a top-five option if playing time opens back up.

The 24-year-old has gotten off to a strong start at Triple-A, going 6-for-16 with three home runs and three RBI. He also has seven strikeouts in four games and remains a major swing-and-miss risk after posting an 18.5 percent swinging strike rate at Double-A as a 24-year-old. With no obvious spot in the outfield, you wonder if the Yankees would use this hot streak by Jones to try and move him at the deadline for an infield bat that could help the Yankees this season.

The Jays had seven runs before Warren got his second out in the first inning, so it’s really rather impressive that he got through four like he did. He didn’t have much luck early, either; while he did give up two homers, he also surrendered four singles on non-hard-hit balls in the first. A nine-pitch walk to Vladimir Guerrero Jr. was awfully rough, too. Warren has been good enough recently that it’s worth sticking with him for his upcoming matchup against the Mariners.

Williams walked George Springer with one out, intentionally walked Vladimir Guerrero Jr. with a 1-0 count after Springer stole second, got a long flyout that allowed both runners to advance, threw a wild pitch to score Springer and then gave up a clean single to Addison Barger that plated Vlad. It’s a bad result, but it doesn’t give away all of the ground Williams has made up these last two months. He hadn’t allowed a run since May 27, and he has only one blown save on the season. He’s still pretty clearly the Yankees’ primary closer for now.

The injections will keep Alvarez from participating in baseball activities in the coming days. He recently visited with a hand specialist, and the specialist determined there has been “notable progress” in the imaging compared to previous weeks.The 28-year-old was placed on the 60-day injured list, but that was just a procedural move that cleared a spot on the 40-man roster.. That being said, there’s no timetable for when Alvarez will be able to return, and it’d be a surprise if he was back before the All-Star break.

MassLive’s Chris Cotillo reported that the “Red Sox are planning to get Yoshida some ‘light work’ pregame at first base during his rehab assignment.” The team is not switching his position and still views Yoshida as an outfielder or designated hitter. Still, while he’s with Worcester, they are seeing how he responds to the new position to see if it gives him added versatility. Considering Yoshida is just 5'8" and has not played first base before, we would imagine it’s a long shot that he’d get into a game at the position.

Suzuki was an unstoppable force in this one. He started the Cubs’ comeback with a run-scoring double in the third and gave them the lead with a single the following inning. While a bit overshadowed by superstar teammates Kyle Tucker and Pete Crow-Armstrong, Suzuki is in the midst of an incredible season with 23 home runs and an .869 OPS as we near the All-Star break.
