Stanton (hamstring) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

Stanton spent just over a month on the injured list while recovering from a hamstring strain, but he took part in several simulated games recently. The 30-year-old could be eased back into a regular role in an attempt to keep him healthy ahead of the playoffs. Stanton played in just 14 games prior to his injury, slashing .293/.453/.585 with three home runs and seven RBI.

Soler (oblique) could potentially return for the Royals' weekend series in Milwaukee but isn't expected to return before the team's final homestand, which begins Monday, Jeffrey Flanagan of MLB.com reports.

Soler will be eligible to return from his strained oblique Wednesday, but it does not sound like his return is imminent, as he hasn't traveled with the team. While he could link up with his teammates in Milwaukee, Soler is more likely to stay home and return to the roster for the final week of the season.

Lewis went 1-for-3 with a walk, a home run and three RBI during a 6-5 win over the A's in the first game of Monday's doubleheader.

The 25-year-old then went 1-for-2 with a walk and a double in the nightcap while also doing his best Ken Griffey Jr. impression by going high over the wall in center field to rob Ramon Laureano of a grand slam in the first inning. Lewis has slowed down at the plate in recent weeks, but he's still slashing .295/.390/.494 on the year with 10 homers, three steals, 27 RBI and 34 runs through 47 games.

Canha went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI during a 9-0 win over the Mariners in the second game of Monday's doubleheader.

After going 0-for-3 in the matinee, Canha took Brady Lail deep in the sixth inning of the nightcap to pad a comfortable 6-0 lead. The 31-year-old outfielder has three multi-hit performances in his last seven games but went 0-for-11 in the other four, and on the year he's slashing .247/.388/.409 with four homers, four steals, 25 runs and 25 RBI through 47 games.

Rooker will require surgery to address the fractured right forearm he sustained in Saturday's game against the Indians, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

Minnesota moved Rooker to the 10-day injured list Sunday and brought back outfielder Max Kepler (groin) from the IL in a corresponding move. The 25-year-old enjoyed a brief but productive run as a part-time player for the Twins following his Sept. 4 promotion, appearing in seven games and slashing .316/.381/.579. Barring an unexpected setback in his recovery, Rooker is expected to return to full strength for the start of spring training.

Torrens isn't starting Game 2 of Monday's doubleheader against the Athletics, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Torrens will get the second game of the day off after going 2-for-3 with his first big-league home run in the matinee, making way for Joseph Odom to get the start behind the dish.

Stanton (hamstring) is expected to return from the 10-day injured list later this week, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Stanton took part in his second straight simulated game Monday and appears to be making good progress as he works his way back from a hamstring strain thag has already kept him out for over a month. He's expected to be eased back into a regular role upon his return, as the Yankees' primary concern is making sure he's ready for the playoffs, which they're still quite likely to make given the expanded format this season despite their mediocre performance to date.

Canha went 2-for-4 with a triple and a run in a loss to the Rangers on Sunday.

Canha's multi-hit effort was just his second over the last 17 contests, as the veteran has been prone to several multi-game slumps lately. Canha came into Sunday in an 0-for-8 skid that had encompassed the prior three games, and despite his success in the loss, he's still hitting just .171 (6-for-35) in 12 September contests.

Jimenez went 2-for-4 with a homer and two RBI in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Tigers.

Jimenez launched his 13th home run of the season in the fourth inning to give the White Sox a 2-1 lead. He later drove in another run with a groundout in the fifth. The second-year outfielder is slashing .301/.337/.590 in 184 plate appearances.

Torrens is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Torrens had started the Mariners' previous five games behind the dish, so he was overdue for a day off. Joseph Odom will start at catcher in his stead.
