Ramirez went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run Sunday against the Diamondbacks.

Ramirez gave his team a four-run cushion in the seventh inning with a two-run blast over the fence in center. The 24-year-old right-hander has put together a .276/.313/.405 slash line with 18 extra-base hits and 29 RBI through 63 games this season.

Choi went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run and two runs scored Sunday against the Blue Jays.

Choi cleared the fences in the seventh inning, cutting Tampa Bay's deficit to three. The 28-year-old is slashing .260/.350/.410 with 10 homers and 37 RBI over 82 games in 2019.

Ozuna (fingers) is expected to join Triple-A Memphis for a rehab assignment Monday, assuming he gains clearance from the doctor, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Ozuna progressed to taking live batting practice on the field Friday, and as long as he gets the green light from the team doctor Monday, he'll be ready to go out on a minor-league assignment. Per Goold, Ozuna will play the field immediately in the minors.

Soler went 2-for-4 with a solo homer, a walk and two runs scored in Sunday's 9-6 win over Cleveland.

Soler tacked on an insurance run with his solo shot off Tyler Clippard, extending his team's lead to 9-5 in the sixth frame. The 27-year-old breakout campaign continues as he's now up to 28 long balls and 73 RBI.

Vogelbach is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.

Vogelbach will take a seat with the Tigers bringing a tough lefty (Matthew Boyd) to the bump for the series finale. Ryan Court will check in for Vogelbach at first base.

Dickerson is not in the lineup for Sunday's game at San Diego, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

Dickerson finds himself back on the bench Sunday with the Friars sending a left-hander to the mound in Adrian Morejon. The 29-year-old has a 1.207 OPS with eight extra-base hits in 12 games since the All-Star break. Austin Slater starts in right field for the Giants, shifting Mike Yastrzemski to left.

Belt is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

Belt started the last five games but will take a seat Sunday after going 2-for-23 with seven strikeouts in that stretch. Tyler Austin will start at first base and bat second in his place.

Jimenez (elbow) will serve as the White Sox's designated hitter and will bat fifth Sunday against the Twins.

While Jimenez seems to have nearly moved past the bruised right elbow that required just over a minimum stay on the 10-day injured list, the rookie is still in the midst of completing a throwing program, per James Fegan of The Athletic. As a result, Jimenez will likely be limited to DH duties for a few more days before returning to his usual post in left field. The elbow issue hasn't hindered Jimenez at the plate in recent workouts, so fantasy managers should feel fairly comfortable with keeping him in active lineups heading into the upcoming week.

Reed will start at first base and bat sixth Sunday against the Twins.

Reed will be filling in for a resting Jose Abreu in the series finale, but there should be room for both players in the lineup when the White Sox oppose right-handed pitching. The 26-year-old is making his sixth start in seven games and looks poised to share first base and designated-hitter duties with Abreu for the time being. Reed will need to improve on the .176/.237/.265 batting line he's provided through his first 11 games with the White Sox to stick in a full-time role over the final two months of the season, however.

Reyes (undisclosed) is starting in right field and batting fifth Sunday versus the Giants.

Reyes was held out of the lineup the last two days since he was a little banged up, but he's ready to rejoin the starting nine for the series finale. The 24-year-old has a .775 OPS with one double and one home run since the All-Star break.
