Brantley went 3-for-4 with a run scored Saturday against Toronto.

All three of Brantley's hits went for singles, and he came around to score in the first inning on an Alex Bregman home run. Brantley has remained consistent early this season, hitting .302/.351/.396 across 57 plate appearances. He's hit particularly well of late, delivering three multi-hit performances in his last six starts.

The White Sox will place Jimenez on the 10-day injured list Sunday after he was diagnosed with a right hamstring strain that is expected to sideline him for 6-to-8 weeks, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

The team plans to provide another update on Jimenez's status following Monday's team off day once he's re-evaluated in Chicago, but the 25-year-old is set to miss extended time for the second time in as many seasons after a ruptured pectoral tendon kept him sidelined for about four months of the 2021 campaign. While the slugger is out of the lineup, both Andrew Vaughn and Gavin Sheets could have clear paths to near-everyday roles at either left field or designated hitter. The righty-hitting Adam Engel should also be a fixture in the lineup against right-handed pitching with Jimenez out of the picture.

Cabrera is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

One day after bagging the 3,000th hit of his career after going a collective 3-for-8 with two RBI and a run while starting in both ends of Saturday's doubleheader, Cabrera will get a well-deserved rest. Austin Meadows will receive a turn as the Tigers' designated hitter while Cabrera retreats to the bench.

Stanton is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.

Stanton started the past nine games and will receive a day off after going 7-for-38 with zero home runs and 16 strikeouts during that stretch. Josh Donaldson will serve as the designated hitter Sunday while DJ LeMahieu moves to the hot corner.

Buxton went 4-for-4 with a double, a home run, three runs scored and two RBI in Saturday's 9-2 win over the White Sox.

The center fielder led the way with another dynamic performance, including a fourth-inning solo shot that chased Vince Velasquez from the game. Buxton has already missed six games this season with a knee injury, but health could be the only thing standing between him and an MVP award -- he's slashing .344/.400/.844 with four doubles, four homers, six RBI and eight runs in nine contests.

Cabrera went 2-for-4 with a run scored and two RBI in a 13-0 win over the Rockies in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader.

Cabrera made history in the first inning, when his single against Colorado starter Antonio Senzatela gave him 3,000 for his storied career. The veteran slugger became just the seventh player in MLB history with 3,000 hits and 500 home runs. Cabrera is no longer the dominant force he once was, though he does have a solid .326 batting average so far this season, giving him some fantasy utility in deep leagues.

Jimenez (hamstring) suffered a "significant" injury Saturday, but it is not expected to end his season, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

Jimenez was carted off the field after landing awkwardly on first base while running out a groundball. Though no formal move has been made, it appears a certainty that Jimenez will land on the injured list. Andrew Vaughn's at-bats look more secure, and Gavin Sheets could see a significant uptick in playing time with Jimenez out.

The White Sox announced that Jimenez left Saturday's game against the Twins with right hamstring soreness.

The team added that Jimenez is being evaluated further.

Jimenez left Saturday's game against the Twins in the second inning with an apparent leg injury, Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com reports.

It's not immediately clear what type of injury Jimenez is dealing with, but he fell to the ground after landing awkwardly on first base while running out a groundball and was taken off the field on a cart. His status will be updated again when more details are released.

Winker is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Royals.

Winker has gone just 3-for-28 (.107) since his first day off of the season, so he will get another chance to clear his head Saturday. Dylan Moore will get the nod in left field in Winker's place.
