Blackmon went 3-for-4 with a double, an RBI, a walk, a stolen base and a run scored Sunday against the Braves.

Blackmon got the Rockies on the board in the third inning with a single to left field, but Atlanta would come away with an 8-7 victory in the series finale. The 32-year-old remains hot at the dish, extending his hitting streak to 11 games. He's slugged three home runs and has driven in 10 runs during that stretch.

Canha was removed from Sunday's game against the Blue Jays due to a right wrist sprain, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Canha's wrist injury could be serious enough to send him to the 10-day injured list, but Oakland likely won't make a move until re-evaluating him Monday morning. He hasn't found his groove at the plate through the first month of the season, hitting .216 with two homers and four RBI over 17 games.

Jimenez (ankle) will be re-evaluated in two weeks, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

Jimenez was placed on the injured list Sunday and will not be available to return when his minimum stint is up. Jose Rondon, Adam Engel and Nicky Delmonico are all candidates to see an uptick in playing time in Jimenez's absence.

Manager Brad Ausmus said Ohtani (elbow) will not play during the team's upcoming home series against Toronto, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Ohtani has been increasing his workload, most recently hitting in a simulated game. He is set to get about 40 plate appearances in similar action across the next week, so he is not yet ready to return to the club. The team does play a second series during its upcoming homestand that begins May 4, and Ausmus may have left the door open for Ohtani to return then, depending on how he progresses this week.

Turner heads to the bench Sunday against the Pirates.

Turner sits after starting nine straight games. He hit just .219 over that stretch. Max Muncy slides over to third base in his absence.

Carpenter is not in the lineup Saturday against Cincinnati.

Carpenter sits for just the second time this season. Jedd Gyorko gets the start at third base in his absence.

Buxton (leg) is in Sunday's lineup against the Orioles.

Buxton was absent from the lineup Saturday after fouling a ball off his leg in Friday's action. However, the injury was not serious, and he has rejoined the lineup, batting ninth in the team's series finale against the Orioles.

Reyes is not in the lineup Sunday against the Nationals.

Reyes sits for just the second time in the Padres' last 15 games. He's still hitting just .192 on the season but does have six homers. Hunter Renfroe starts in right field.

Jimenez (ankle) was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday.

Jimenez exited Friday's action against the Tigers early with the injury. Although X-rays were negative he lands on the injured list, retroactive to April 27. Both Adam Engel and Nicky Delmonico could see a bump in playing time in Jimenez's absence.

Martinez (back) is not in the lineup Sunday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Martinez was scratched from Saturday's lineup with back spasms and remains out of the lineup for the series finale against the Rays. Steve Pearce will serve as the designated hitter in his place.
