Jimenez started in left field and went 1-for-4 in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Twins.

This marked the first time Jimenez was in the outfield following a three-game stretch as the designated hitter while working through a sore hip.

Reyes went 2-for-3 with a double, a home run and three RBI in Tuesday's win over the Tigers.

Reyes continued his offensive explosion and now has four home runs and 10 RBI in his last three games. The 24-year-old struggled early on after being acquired by the Indians (.466 OPS in 13 games), but since Aug. 11, he is 13-for-48 (.271 average) with two doubles, six homers, nine runs scored and 14 RBI.

Cabrera was removed from Tuesday's game against the Indians with left biceps tightness.

Cabrera struck out in both his at-bats Tuesday and certainly didn't look comfortable at the plate. The Tigers labeled his exited as precautionary, but it's worth noting that it's the same biceps he ruptured in June 2018, which forced him to undergo surgery and miss the rest of the season. According to Evan Woodbery of MLive.com, Cabrera said he felt OK after the game and that the tightness wasn't in the same spot as last year's injury.

Buxton (shoulder) is expected to return at some point this season despite pausing his rehab assignment Tuesday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Buxton went to meet up with team doctors after feeling something during batting practice. General manager Thad Levine said, "I wouldn't even call it a setback," though it certainly appears to fit that definition. Buxton will rest and strengthen his shoulder for now, with an updated return timeline potentially coming soon.

Turner isn't in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Padres, Alanna Rizzo of Spectrum SportsNet LA reports.

Turner was handed a one-game suspension after making contact with an umpire during Monday's matchup, though he'll remain eligible until his appeal is heard. Despite this, the Dodgers have elected to sit him down for the second game of the series. Max Muncy will shift over to the hot corner and bat second.

Turner was handed a one-game suspension for making contact with an umpire during Monday's game against the Padres, Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Turner was unhappy with a call that ended the game, and he made contact with the home-plate umpire while pleading his case. The third baseman is set to appeal the suspension and will be eligible to play until a decision on his appeal is made.

Buxton (shoulder) suffered a setback Sunday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Buxton first felt something Sunday and felt it again during batting practice Tuesday. An MRI revealed no structural damage, but his rehab was halted nonetheless, and he'll head to join the big-league club for further evaluation from team doctors. An updated recovery timeline should become available following that evaluation.

Ford went 2-for-4 with a pair of home runs and three RBI to help the Yankees to a 5-4 victory over the Mariners on Monday.

The 27-year-old's contributions were pivotal in the one-run victory, as he swatted his seventh and eighth home runs of the season and wound up driving in three of his team's five runs for the game. Ford is hitting just .227 across 97 big-league at-bats this season, but he's provided solid power in his part-time duty, as the eight long balls leave him with a .505 slugging percentage.

Turner went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, a double and two RBI in the Dodgers' 4-3 loss to the Padres on Monday.

Turner's torrid month of August continued with this three-hit day that included his 24th long ball of the season, which he launched in the third inning off Eric Lauer. The 34-year-old veteran has ripped off nine multi-hit games and cranked seven homers since the calendar flipped from July, boosting his slash line up to a healthy .294/.376/.513 across 435 at-bats for the season.

Ozuna went 2-for-5 with a three-run double and two runs scored in Monday's 12-2 win over Milwaukee.

Ozuna knocked a bases-clearing double off starter Gio Gonzalez as part of a huge six-run inning for St. Louis. He's racked up 15 RBI this month, including 10 in his last five games, bringing him to 77 on the year with a .873 OPS.
