MLB Player News

Ramirez is not in Sunday's lineup against the Dodgers,Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.

Ramirez will sit for the second time in the team's past four games. Curtis Granderson will start in left field and lead off for the Marlins in his place.

Vogelbach is not in Sunday's lineup against the Angels.

With the Mariners facing a southpaw (Dillon Peters), Vogelbach will open the contest on the bench. Omar Narvaez will start at designated hitter while Tom Murphy gets the start behind the dish. Vogelbach is hitting .179 with 16 strikeouts in 12 games this month.

Reyes is not in Sunday's lineup against the Cubs.

Reyes had started four consecutive contests but finds himself out of the lineup Sunday. Wil Myers will draw a rare start in his place, playing in left field and batting seventh.

Stanton (knee) is still not doing baseball activities, David Lennon of Newsday reports.

Manager Aaron Boone said Stanton has been making slow progress in his rehab from a right knee injury. It sounds like he is without a timetable to return, with an activation in mid August seeming like the best-case scenario.

Cabrera is not in Sunday's lineup against the Blue Jays, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Cabrera is 3-for-31 (.097) with zero home runs and eight strikeouts in eight games since the All-Star break. Nick Castellanos will get the nod at designated hitter while Harold Castro starts in right field, hitting second.

Dickerson went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 11-4 loss to the Mets.

Friday's day off didn't slow down Dickerson's red-hot bat one bit, as he cranked the homer that caused him to fall short of hitting for the cycle in his previous start Thursday. The 29-year-old is slashing a career-best .352/.410/.670 over 100 plate appearances this year. It is worth noting that Dickerson has sat against right-handed starters twice over the last four games. Part of that is due to the addition of Austin Slater to a crowded outfield, but it may also be due to a cautious approach after the outfielder suffered a minor back injury last week and his history of severe back issues. Even with the recent reduction in playing time, Dickerson's production alone keeps him in the mixed-league conversation.

Pederson went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Saturday's 10-6 win over the Marlins.

Pederson's first-inning solo shot set the early tone against Marlins starter Sandy Alcantara. Pederson played six innings before being replaced by pinch hitter Enrique Hernandez to lead off the seventh. The 27-year-old is hitting .236 with 22 homers, 46 RBI and 52 runs scored in 90 games this season, but he'll typically only start versus right-handed pitchers.

Turner went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and two walks in Saturday's 10-6 win over the Marlins.

Turner took Marlins starter Sandy Alcantara deep in the fifth inning, extending the Dodgers' lead to 5-0 at the time. The third baseman has gone 12-for-41 with four homers and 11 runs scored over his last 10 games. Turner has 13 homers, 40 RBI and 55 runs scored in 91 games overall this season.

Canha went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and two runs scored Saturday against the Twins.

Canha took Zack Littell deep in the seventh inning to record his 16th home run of the season. He continues to take advantage of regular playing time in the absence of Stephen Piscotty (knee), collecting at least one hit in eight of his last 10 contests. He now has a .255/.386/.557 line across 236 plate appearances for the season.

Ohtani went 1-for-5 with a stolen base in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Mariners.

Ohtani didn't get on the basepaths until the ninth inning, where he laced a single and promptly stole second. It's his seventh stolen base of the year, but more notably his third in nine games since the All-Star break. During that span, the 25-year-old is 7-for-28 with four runs scored, two RBI and five walks.
