Yankees' Carlos Rodon: Nabs quality start
Rotowire
Rodon didn't factor into the decision Monday against Kansas City, allowing four runs (three earned) on six hits and a walk across six innings. He struck out nine.
Rodon fanned eight or more batters for a third straight start but gave up his third and fourth home runs of that stretch Monday. Both long balls charged to Rodon were solo shots, coming off the bats of Salvador Perez and Hunter Renfroe. Still, the left-handed pitcher held on for the quality start. Rodon is tentatively scheduled for a home start against the Red Sox this weekend.

Yankees' Clayton Beeter: Activated, sent to Double-A
Rotowire
Beeter (shoulder) was reinstated from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre's 60-day injured list Saturday and was assigned to Double-A Somerset.
Beeter proceeded to appear out of the Somerset bullpen later that day, striking out two and allowing one hit and no walks over a scoreless inning. The right-hander had turned in a 2.53 ERA over 32 innings with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre before hitting the shelf in May with a right shoulder injury.

Yankees' Alex Verdugo: Playing time expected to dip
Rotowire
Yankees manager Aaron Boone suggested Monday that Verdugo is likely to see his playing time take a hit following outfielder Jasson Dominguez's promotion from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, Laura Albanese of Newsday reports.
While Boone didn't explicitly say Verdugo is no longer a starter, he noted that Aaron Judge will play center field most days, Giancarlo Stanton will be the designated hitter most days and Dominguez will play "a lot." Boone had previously stood by Verdugo, even as the veteran outfielder has slashed just .235/.295/.356 in 137 games. However, the skipper finally looks ready to embrace a starting outfield trio of Judge, Dominguez and Juan Soto more often than not, while Stanton occupies the DH spot. The Yankees will make room in the lineup in Monday's game against the Royals for Verdugo, who will start in left field and bat ninth while Stanton finds himself as the odd man out of the lineup.

Yankees' Anthony Volpe: Rare day off Monday
Rotowire
Volpe is absent from the lineup for Monday's contest against the Royals, Max Goodman of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.
Volpe will get his first day off since he received a breather back on March 31 during the Yankees' first series of the season versus the Astros. Oswaldo Cabrera will fill in at shortstop Monday.

Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton: Heads to bench as Dominguez returns
Rotowire
Stanton is not in the lineup for Monday's game versus the Royals, Max Goodman of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.
Aaron Judge will occupy the designated-hitter spot Monday while Jasson Dominguez picks up a start in the outfield after being called up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Stanton is in the midst of a 1-for-19 slide at the plate and could see his playing time dip upon Dominguez's arrival, though manager Aaron Boone told Laura Albanese of Newsday that Stanton will serve as the Yankees' DH more often that not. With that in mind, Alex Verdugo -- who will start in left field Monday -- could find himself as the odd man out of the lineup more frequently than Stanton.

Yankees' Anthony Misiewicz: Cast off 40-man roster
Rotowire
The Yankees designated Misiewicz for assignment Monday.
The transaction opens up a spot on the 40-man roster for utility man Jon Berti's (calf), who was activated from the 60-day injured list. Misiewicz made his lone appearance of the season with the Yankees back in June and had turned in a 3.47 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 30:5 K:BB in 23.1 innings over 21 appearances since returning to Triple-A.

Yankees' DJ LeMahieu: Heads to IL with hip impingement
Rotowire
The Yankees placed LeMahieu on the 10-day injured list Monday with a right hip impingement.
The transaction is retroactive to Friday, though LeMahieu hadn't appeared in any games for the Yankees since last Tuesday. The 36-year-old had put together a modest five-game hit streak prior to landing on the IL, but he wasn't in store for meaningful playing time at either of the corner-infield spots with Anthony Rizzo and Jazz Chisholm locked in as starters at first and third base, respectively.

Yankees' Jon Berti: Brought back from IL
Rotowire
The Yankees reinstated Berti (calf) from the 60-day injured list Monday.
Berti is back with the Yankees for the first time since late May after completing a lengthy recovery from a left calf strain. Prior to being activated, Berti was sent out on an extended rehab assignment, during which he slashed .342/.422/.526 with two home runs and five walks over 12 games. Though Berti looks to be dialed in at the plate, he'll have to settle for a utility role with the Yankees and may not be guaranteed much more than the occasional start against left-handed pitching.

Yankees' Jasson Dominguez: Returning to majors
Rotowire
The Yankees recalled Dominguez from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Monday. Manager Aaron Boone said that Dominguez will start in center field and bat sixth in the Yankees' series opener versus the Royals, according to Jorge Castillo of ESPN.com.
As Bryan Hoch of MLB.com notes, Yankees general manager Brian Cashman recently said that Dominguez wouldn't rejoin the big club if he wasn't going to play regularly, so expect the 21-year-old phenom to take on a near-everyday role in the outfield now that he's back in the majors. Dominguez impressed in a small sample of eight games with the Yankees in 2023 and has turned in a .309/.368/.480 slash line with seven home runs and 15 stolen bases in 193 plate appearances at Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this season after completing his recovery from Tommy John surgery.

Yankees' Duke Ellis: Optioned to Triple-A
Rotowire
Ellis was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre following Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Cubs.
Ellis was called up last Sunday, securing a hit in his only at-bat while with the team before being sent down. The outfielder's departure from the major-league roster opens a spot for Jon Berti (calf), who's set to return from the 60-day injured list.

Yankees' Gerrit Cole: Dealt fourth loss
Rotowire
Cole (6-4) allowed two unearned runs on three hits and a walk while striking out seven over six innings to take the loss Sunday versus the Cubs.
A rough first inning was enough to send Cole to the loss, as he gave up two hits and a walk, as well as a pair of fielder's choices, in that frame. Isaac Paredes had the big hit, a two-run single that the Cubs nursed all the way to the end. Cole didn't miss any time after exiting his previous start with a calf cramp. He's allowed one earned run or fewer in five of his last six starts, surrendering a total of seven runs (five earned) with 43:12 K:BB over 34.1 innings in that span. Cole now has a 3.36 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 85:24 K:BB through 75 innings over 14 starts this season. The right-hander's next start is projected to be at home versus the Red Sox.

Yankees' Aaron Judge: In midst of power drought
Rotowire
Judge went 0-for-3 with a walk, a run and a stolen base in Saturday's 2-0 win against the Cubs.
That's 11 straight contests without a long ball for Judge, who slugged seven homers in six games prior to the sudden power outage. The 11-game homerless stretch is the longest of the campaign for the star outfielder and has stalled his pursuit of a second career 60-homer season, though his ability to get hot and tally long balls in bunches puts the accomplishment still within reach. Judge has struggled as a whole during the power drought, slashing .175/.327/.250 with a 34.7 percent strikeout rate, though he does have three doubles, three RBI and two stolen bases.
