Winker went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a 4-0 victory over the Dodgers on Saturday.

Overall, the 25-year-old has produced strong power numbers, but this was his first extra-base hit since May 5. Winker hasn't recorded multiple hits in any of his last 10 games, and since then, his average has dropped 22 points. Winker is hitting .221 with 10 home runs, 16 RBI and 22 runs in 140 at-bats this season.

Ohtani (elbow) is now throwing four days a week after previously throwing just three times per week, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

The Angels have said that Ohtani's throwing schedule won't affect his ability to remain in the lineup, and that's indeed been the case, as he's sat just once since returning from the injured list. He should continue as a regular designated hitter for the rest of the season but won't pitch in a game until 2020.

Turner (shin) is not expected to require a trip to the injured list, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Turner fouled a ball off his shin Friday but escaped with nothing worse than a bruise. He's not starting Saturday, and there's no guarantee he's back Sunday, but with off days coming both Monday and Thursday, the Dodgers hope he'll have time to heal while remaining on the active roster.

Turner (shin) is out of the lineup as expected Saturday against the Reds.

Turner left Friday's game after fouling a ball off his shin, but X-rays confirmed he suffered nothing worse than a bruise. Max Muncy slides over to third base in his absence, with Matt Beaty starting at first.

Collins (concussion) was activated from the 7-day injured list Saturday, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

He missed a little over a week with a concussion. Collins is hitting .256/.370/.581 with seven home runs and 35 strikeouts in 24 games at Triple-A Charlotte.

Stanton (shoulder) has been facing live pitching and should begin a rehab assignment Monday, Coley Harvey of ESPN.com reports.

He was hit on the knee by a pitch Friday, but he checked out OK. Stanton will head to High-A Tampa for his rehab assignment Monday, assuming everything goes smoothly over the next couple days. It is unclear how long the assignment will be, but it seems possible that he could be an option in weekly leagues for the final week of May.

Cabrera went 2-for-4 with two doubles, an RBI and a run scored in Friday's 7-2 loss to the Athletics.

Cabrera had half of his team's hits as the Tigers once again looked anemic offensively. The 36-year-old has mostly done his part with a .290 batting average through 42 games, though his lack of power has been troublesome. Cabrera has just one home run so far, and his .361 slugging percentage would be the lowest of his 15-year MLB career.

Jimenez (ankle) went 2-for-5 with a solo home run for Triple-A Charlotte on Friday.

Jimenez has a hit in all four games while on a rehab assignment, going 6-for-16 with two extra-base hits and three runs scored. After starting the rehab stint with a game as the designated hitter, Jimenez played left field the next three games, including a full nine innings Thursday and Friday. If he's not back up with the White Sox this weekend, he should be up by Monday.

Reyes went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Pirates.

Reyes opened the scoring with the long ball in the first inning. Reyes has now hit a homer in four of his last five games, accounting for all but one of his hits in that span. He has 14 homers and six doubles this season, hitting .266 through 45 games. He doesn't draw many walks -- earning only eight free passes compared to 40 strikeouts.

McCutchen went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run, two walks and two runs scored Friday against Colorado.

McCutchen launched a two-run homer in the third inning to tie the ballgame, registering his sixth home run of the season. The veteran outfielder has reached base safely in eight of his last 11 contests, and he'll aim to keep it rolling at the dish in the final two games of the series.
