Lowe went 1-for-3 with a solo homer, a walk and two runs scored in Monday's 2-1 win over the Mets.

Lowe scored in the second inning on a Manuel Margot sacrifice fly before taking Jacob deGrom deep with a solo blast in the fourth. The lefty slugger bumped his season OPS up to .913 with four homers this season.

Naylor left Monday's game against the White Sox after jamming his leg into second base on a slide, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

Naylor was having an impressive night at the dish prior to suffering the injury, going 3-for-4 with two doubles and a run scored. He was replaced by Oscar Mercado in left field and will be considered day-to-day until he's examined further.

Diaz (hamstring) felt good following a pair of batting practice sessions in the last two days and will advance to live batting practice soon, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Diaz has missed all of September with a strained right hamstring. Whether or not he returns before the playoffs remains to be seen, but it appears as though he has a chance to do so.

Flores isn't in Monday's lineup against the Rockies.

Flores has gone 0-for-12 with five strikeouts over the past three games, and he'll take a breather Monday. Darin Ruf will start as the designated hitter for the series opener against Colorado.

Voit went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's loss to Boston.

The Yankees managed only three base knocks as a team in the loss, but Voit managed to keep his six-game hitting streak intact with a solo shot in the ninth inning. Over the six-game stretch, the slugger has gone 10-for-26 with five homers and 12 RBI. His 21 long balls this season lead the majors; Jose Abreu ranks second with 18.

Freeman went 0-for-2 with three walks, one run and one strikeout in Sunday's win against the Mets.

Freeman struck out four times in Saturday's contest, but he displayed more patience at the plate in the series finale against New York. The 31-year-old carries a career-best 1.097 OPS with 11 home runs, 48 RBI and 45 runs in 2020.

Cabrera went 3-for-5 with a double, a home run, four RBI and two runs scored in the second game of Sunday's doubleheader against the Marlins.

Cabrera paced the team with seven total bases in the 15-0 rout. He also had a double in the matinee, so he was 4-for-8 in total Sunday and raised his season SLG by more than 30 points. The 34-year-old is playing close to every day between first base and DH while batting mostly third or fourth in the order.

Voit has been managing foot pain for some time, but it has not limited him at the plate, Brendan Kuty of NJ Advance Media reports.

The Yankees and Voit have been vague about the exact nature of the condition, simply referring to it as "foot stuff." While manager Aaron Boone explained that the issue causes Voit pain, he also stated "it's not something that's limiting." Voit's performance at the plate validates that assessment, as he is slashing .327/.345/.750 with seven home runs and 20 RBI over his past 12 games.

Tellez (knee) has progressed to taking swings in the batting cage, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

The 25-year-old was given a pessimistic outlook after suffering a tendon injury Sept. 8, but his return to baseball activities is a solid sign for his progression. Tellez will still have a difficult time returning before the end of the regular season with only seven games remaining.

Bohm (illness) will start at first base and will bat third Sunday against the Blue Jays.

Bohm was sidelined for Saturday's 3-1 win, but he's apparently feeling well enough to give it a go in the series finale. The rookie has been Philadelphia's most productive hitter in September, slashing .359/.400/.551 with three home runs and 14 RBI in 21 games.
