Stanton isn't in Tuesday's lineup against the Blue Jays.

The Yankees have managed Stanton's workload since he returned from a hamstring injury, and he'll hit the bench once again Tuesday. Aaron Judge will serve as the designated hitter with Clint Frazier starting in right field.

Jimenez came up hobbling after beating out an infield single during Monday's 7-4 loss to Cleveland, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Ramirez stayed in the game after some mild discomfort. "He said he felt like he pinched his knee a little bit," manager Rick Renteria said. "He said he was 100 percent fine. Sometimes you can step on the bag and just irritate it a little." The slugging outfielder finished with three hits in four at-bats, including his 14th home run.

Brantley went 3-for-4 in Monday's 6-1 loss to the Mariners.

All three of Brantley's hits were singles, and Mariners starter Marco Gonzales did well to prevent the outfielder from getting home each time. In 41 games, Brantley is slashing .311/.373/.490 with four homers, 21 RBI, 21 runs scored and a stolen base.

Solak went 3-for-4 with an RBI and two runs scored Monday against the Angels.

Solak collected an RBI in the third inning, putting his team ahead 3-1. Los Angeles would rally later on, however, coming away with an 8-5 victory. The 25-year-old is slashing .268/.321/.353 with two home runs, 21 RBI and six stolen bases over 52 games this season with Texas.

Choi (hamstring) looked good in a pair of batting practice sessions Sunday and Monday and will participate in live batting practice soon, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Choi has been out for just over one of the 2-to-3 weeks he was expected to miss when he landed on the injured list with a Grade 1 hamstring strain. Unless that initial timeline was inaccurate, he won't be returning before the end of the regular season, but it appears he has a good shot to return for the playoffs.

Soler (oblique) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Monday.

Soler will wind up missing around two weeks with a strained right oblique. He was hitting a respectable .235/.331/.456 prior to the injury, though that's not in the same ballpark as the .265/.354/.569 line he managed in his breakout 2019 campaign. Kelvin Gutierrez was optioned in a corresponding move.

Reyes went 0-for-1 with three walks and a run scored Sunday in the Indians' 7-4 win over the Tigers.

While Reyes has shown a discerning eye at the plate in September (15.7 percent walk rate), his lack of production in the power department of late has been disappointing for fantasy managers. He's failed to hit a home run in three weeks while submitting a lowly .190/.314/.224 slash line over the Indians' last 17 games. The extended drought hasn't prompted manager Terry Francona to rest Reyes more regularly or push him down the batting order; he'll make a 44th straight start as Cleveland's designated hitter Monday against the White Sox while batting fifth.

Cabrera went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 7-4 loss to Cleveland.

Cabrera went deep in the seventh inning with a runner on for his seventh home run of the season, and he upped his RBI total to 25. The 37-year-old has seen his production taper off in his 16th MLB season -- his .692 OPS would be a new career low -- but he's still capable of popping for a good game here and there.

Buxton is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.

Buxton will be receiving a routine maintenance day after starting each of the past six games, during which he went 9-for-24 with four home runs, six RBI, five runs, a double and a walk. Jake Cave will spell Buxton in center field and will bat eighth.

Torrens is not in the lineup Sunday against San Diego.

Torrens started the previous four games but will receive the day off for the series finale. Joseph Odom takes over behind the plate, batting ninth.
