Cabrera went 1-for-2 with two walks, a solo home run and two runs scored in Monday's 12-4 win over the Padres.

Cabrera went deep in the sixth inning for his fourth home run of the season and 506th of his storied career. The veteran is now batting .284 this year, and while his power has largely vanished, he's still hitting in the middle of Detroit's order most days. Cabrera will have modest fantasy value as long as he keeps hitting and stays healthy.

Alvarez (hand) is in the lineup for Monday's game against the A's.

A sore right hand prevented Alvarez from starting Sunday's game, but it will not cost him any further action. He will serve as the designated hitter and hit third in Houston's batting order.

Lewis isn't starting Monday against Texas.

Lewis is out of the lineup for the second time in the last three games after he went 1-for-7 with a run, three walks and a strikeout over the last three matchups. Sam Haggerty is starting in right field and batting ninth.

Winker (ankle) isn't starting Monday against the Rangers.

Winker sprained his right ankle during Sunday's loss to Houston and is day-to-day, but he'll be out of the lineup for at least one game. Adam Frazier is shifting to left field while Abraham Toro starts at second base.

Martinez (back) is out of the lineup Monday versus the Guardians, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

Martinez will miss a fourth straight game while nursing back spasms Monday. He remains day-to-day, but manager Alex Cora said Martinez could be available off the bench for the series opener in a pinch-hitting capacity, per Alex Speier of The Boston Globe. Rob Refsnyder will start at designated hitter and bat second in the series opener.

Reyes went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 6-3 loss to the White Sox.

Reyes got the Guardians on the board when he took Kendall Graveman deep in the eighth inning. This was Reyes' fifth homer in 20 games in July. The designated hitter is up to nine long balls, a .214/.256/.361 slash line, 28 RBI, 22 runs scored and a stolen base through 63 contests.

Winker (ankle) is considered day-to-day after leaving Sunday's loss to the Astros, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.

Winker sustained a sprained right ankle in the bottom of the second inning while colliding with Jeremy Pena on the basepaths, but manager Scott Servais is optimistic that the injury isn't significant. Winker will be monitored ahead of Monday's series opener against the Rangers, but Servais hopes that the outfielder will avoid a trip to the injured list.

Winker exited Sunday's game against the Astros due to a right ankle sprain, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Winker sustained his injury in the bottom of the second inning during a collision with Jeremy Pena, but it's somewhat encouraging that he remained in the game until the top of the fifth. It's not yet clear whether the ankle issue will force him to miss additional time.

Winker was removed from Sunday's game against the Astros in the top of the fifth inning due to an apparent injury, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Winker collided with Jeremy Pena on a single in the bottom of the second inning but remained in the game for several innings prior to being replaced defensively ahead of the fifth inning. The 28-year-old went 1-for-2 prior to his removal. The nature and severity of the injury aren't yet clear, and it's unknown whether Winker will be forced to miss additional time.

Alvarez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners due to soreness in his right hand, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

The 25-year-old was activated from the injured list Thursday and started the previous three games, but he's being held out Sunday due to lingering soreness in his right hand. Alvarez is likely to continue having his workload managed since he can't fully get past the hand injury, though it has yet to affect his effectiveness given he's posted a 1.105 OPS in July.
