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.

Cabrera will undergo an MRI on his right knee Saturday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Cabrera left Friday night's matchup against the Braves due to knee soreness, though he'll undergo further testing to uncover the extent of the issue. "I felt it at the plate the last three games," stated Cabrera. "I didn't use my legs too much. It's hard because I want to be on the field. I want to be able to hit and play defense and help the team win. We'll see how I feel tomorrow."

Cabrera was removed from Friday's game against the Braves due to right knee soreness.

Cabrera will be considered day-to-day following his removal from the series opener. Brandon Dixon replaced Cabrera at first base.

Vogelbach will slot in as the designated hitter and bat sixth Friday against the Angels, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.

Vogelbach was in line for a night off with the Mariners set to face a southpaw, but Edwin Encarnacion was scratched from the starting lineup prior to first pitch due to a dental procedure, so Vogelbach will take his place.

Vogelbach isn't in Friday's starting lineup against the Angels, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.

Vogelbach will get a rare day off with lefty Tyler Skaggs set to toe the rubber for the visiting Angels. Edwin Encarnacion is set to slot in as the designated hitter and will bat third in Vogelbach's absence.
