Reyes went 1-for-2 with four RBI and a walk in the Indians' 8-0 victory over the Angels on Tuesday.

The 24-year-old wound up driving in half of his team's runs for the game, cranking a three-run double in the third inning before adding a sacrifice fly in the seventh. He's had a prolific power-hitting campaign in 2019, cranking 34 homers, 17 doubles and driving in 74 runs despite a pedestrian .250 batting average across 497 plate appearances between the Padres and Indians.

Turner (ankle) underwent X-rays on Tuesday which came back negative, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Turner was set to return from the sore ankle Tuesday but later scratched and underwent the X-rays. The 34-year-old won't immediately undergo an MRI, but he could receive one if there's no noticeable improvement. The team didn't make any declarations, but Turner seems like a good bet to be held out again Wednesday.

The Giants hope Dickerson (oblique) will rejoin the lineup by this weekend, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Dickerson has apparently progressed nicely since receiving a cortisone injection Saturday and is on the cusp of his return. The 29-year-old hasn't seen game action since Sept. 3 due to the oblique issue.

Belt went 3-for-4 with a double and a pair of RBI in Monday's 6-4 loss to Pittsburgh.

This was Belt's second three-hit performance over his last 10 starts. The first baseman has looked a little more like his former self over that span, slashing .263/.349/.526 with six extra-base hits. Belt will have to get hotter than this to restore faith in fantasy owners after spurning them with a .231/.341/.397 slash line overall this season.

Turner (ankle) was scratched from the lineup Tuesday against the Orioles.

Turner initially appeared to be ready to go after missing one day with a sore ankle, but he evidently needs a bit more time. Chris Taylor will move in to third base in his absence, with Enrique Hernandez moving to right field and Gavin Lux entering the lineup at second base.

Buxton was placed on the 60-day injured list and will undergo season-ending shoulder surgery Tuesday, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports

After visiting team doctors in New York, it's been determined that Buxton will require season-ending surgery to repair the labrum in his left shoulder. According to Derek Wetmore of SKOR North, the estimated recovery time is 5-to-6 months, so it's unclear at this time whether he'll be ready for the start of spring training. Ronald Torreyes will replace Buxton on the 40-man roster.

Turner (ankle) is back in the lineup Tuesday against the Orioles, Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times reports.

A sore ankle kept Turner out of the lineup Sunday, but he's ready to go following Monday's scheduled off day. He'll bat third and play third base Tuesday.

Ramirez is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Brewers.

Ramirez has at least one hit in nine of his last 11 games, hitting .318/.362/.545 with three homers over that stretch. Austin Dean starts in left field in his absence.

Manager Rocco Baldelli stated Tuesday on MLB Network Radio on SiriusXM that Buxton (shoulder) may be done for the year.

Buxton has been away from the team for a scheduled visit with team doctors, and although an official diagnosis hasn't been provided by the Twins, it appears the outfielder's status for the final stretch is in jeopardy. More information on Buxton's availability should become clear in the coming days.

Alvarez went 2-for-5 with two home runs in a 15-0 win over the Athletics on Monday.

Alvarez hit two solo home runs in his first two at-bats to give him 24 on the season. The second home run had a 113.5 MPH exit velocity with a 36-degree launch angle and landed in the upper deck in right field at Minute Maid Park. Alvarez set the franchise record for rookie home runs in a season with the first blast, playing in only 71 games. Alvarez has a .316/.409/.673 slash line in 308 plate appearances.
