Buxton (wrist) was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Brandon Warne of ZoneCoverage.com reports.

Buxton hadn't played since getting hit by a pitch Friday against the Royals. The issue had been referred to as a bruise, and there haven't been reports of an updated diagnosis, so it appears as though the bruise was significant enough to warrant him missing at least another week. The move was made retroactive to Saturday, so he's eligible to return as soon as next Tuesday. Jake Cave was recalled in a corresponding move.

Stanton (shoulder) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list as expected Tuesday.

Stanton had been out since the end of March with a string of injuries. He's ready to go now after going 6-for-21 with five homers over six rehab games. He'll have to play the outfield more than before after Edwin Encarnacion was acquired to fill the designated hitter spot, but regardless of where he plays, he'll occupy a key spot in a strong lineup.

The White Sox officially selected Collins' contract from Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday.

News of Collins' callup first surfaced Sunday, when Welington Castillo suffered an oblique strain that ultimately resulted in a trip to the 10-day injured list. While Castillo is on the mend, Collins will step in as Chicago's backup catcher, though the 2016 first-round pick's reputation as a poor defender likely means he'll only relieve No. 1 backstop James McCann behind the dish once or twice a week. Collins, who slugged nine home runs while reaching base at a .374 clip at Triple-A, could still enter the lineup on a semi-regular basis as a designated hitter.

Carpenter went 3-for-4 with a double, a solo home run and three runs overall in a win over the Marlins on Monday.

Monday's line was the type Carpenter made the norm beginning just before this point of the season in 2018, which helped the veteran third baseman erase an abysmal start and eventually slug a career-high 36 home runs. Carpenter has been similarly scuffling at the plate for the majority of the current campaign, but there's cautious optimism he could once again be building some summertime momentum. Carpenter has lifted his average 28 points since May 15, and his current .227 figure, middling as it may be, qualifies as his highest since April 14.

Soler went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk to help the Royals to a 6-4 victory over the Mariners on Monday.

The Royals were trailing 4-3 in the eighth inning but Soler gave them the lead back for good with a two-run blast off Anthony Bass for his 19th long ball of the season. The 27-year-old is hitting just .245, but he's provided solid power returns for the Royals so far this season, as he's clubbed 17 doubles in addition to the 19 homers to leave him with a .520 slugging percentage through 269 at-bats.

Carpenter went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and three runs scored in Monday's 5-0 win over Miami.

Carpenter terrorized Marlins pitchers all night, though his most impressive feat was probably earning a double by bunting down the third-base line while Miami was heavily shifting him. The 33-year-old infielder is up to 10 homers with a .735 OPS this season. He's on pace for his fifth consecutive 20-homer campaign.

Reyes (neck) is starting in right field and batting fifth Monday against the Brewers.

Reyes has been on the bench since Friday due to neck stiffness, but he's ready to roll for Monday's series opener. He's slashing .240/.290/.535 with 19 homers and 33 RBI over 68 games in 2019.

Turner is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Giants.

Turner had started 10 games in a row, tied for his longest stretch of the season. Max Muncy will slide over to third base in his absence, with Matt Beaty starting at first.

Buxton (wrist) is not in the lineup Monday against the Red Sox, Brandon Warne of ZoneCoverage.com reports.

Buxton will remain on the bench for a third straight game as he continues to nurse a wrist injury he picked up after getting hit by a pitch Friday. Max Kepler is once again covering center field in his stead, with Marwin Gonzalez starting in right.

Winker will head to the bench against lefty Wade Miley and the Astros on Monday.

Winker sits for the second time in three games, though he should be in line for an extended run of starts the rest of the week as the Reds face six straight righties. Phillip Ervin starts in left field.
