Cabrera (knee) will receive a second opinion on his MRI, Anthony Fenech of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Cabrera left Friday's game against the Braves due to right knee soreness and didn't start Saturday's contest. The severity of the injury should become clear once the second opinion is made public.

Turner (hamstring) is expected to return to the lineup Sunday or Monday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Turner is sitting Saturday against the Phillies for the third straight game. He went through a workout on the field Saturday afternoon, which apparently went well enough, as he isn't expected to miss much more time.

Pederson is not starting Saturday against the Phillies.

Pederson is again the victim of an opener, as he'll sit against lefty Jose Alvarez. Chris Taylor gets the call in left field.

Turner (hamstring) will sit for the third straight game Saturday against the Phillies, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Turner went through agility drills on the field prior to the game, suggesting his return may be close, but he'll remain on the bench for now. Max Muncy again starts at third base, with David Freese getting the call at first.

Buxton went 2-for-3 with a solo homer and two RBI in a 6-2 win over the Rays on Saturday.

Buxton provided the Twins' third run with an RBI single in the fourth inning before adding a solo shot in the sixth. He's hit five home runs in his last 50 at-bats and has a .262/.321/.512 slash line for the season.

Cabrera (knee) is not in Saturday's lineup against the Braves.

The Tigers are still awaiting the results of Cabrera's MRI after he exited Friday's game with right knee soreness. John Hicks will start at first base and bat fifth in his place.

McCutchen went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Dodgers.

McCutchen's fourth-inning blast helped cut the Dodgers' lead to 2-1 at the time, but it was only one of five hits on the night for the Phillies. McCutchen is up to 10 homers, 29 RBI and 45 runs scored in 56 games this season, typically batting at the top of a loaded lineup.

Pederson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Friday's 6-3 win over the Phillies.

Pederson scored on Max Muncy's two-run blast in the third inning, and then sent one of his own out of the yard in the fifth inning. Pederson has three homers in his last five games, going 9-for-19 with four RBI and six runs scored during the hot stretch. The outfielder is hitting .274/.375/.662 over 51 games this season.

Ohtani went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Mariners.

Ohtani went back-to-back with Mike Trout in the sixth inning to cut the Mariners' lead to 3-2. The designated hitter later knocked in Luis Rengifo in the eighth inning to again make it a one-run game, but the Angels were unable to build on that. Ohtani is 6-for-18 in his last four games with four RBI and two runs scored in that span.

Carpenter went 1-for-4 with a walk, a run scored and an RBI in Friday's 2-1 extra-inning win over the Cubs.

He bookended the night by scoring on Marcell Ozuna's sac fly in the first inning, then bringing home the winning run in the 10th with a bases-loaded hit into the left-field corner. Carpenter wraps up May with a .237 batting average (23-for-97), five homers and 14 RBI in 27 games.
