Ozuna is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Marlins.

Ozuna will take a seat after going 1-for-6 with a double and two strikeouts after serving as Atlanta's designated hitter over the final two games of its weekend series with the Mets. He'll likely continue to be part of a three-way timeshare at DH with Willson Conteras and Travis d'Arnaud.

The Angels outrighted Ford to Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday.

Ford was one of three Angels recently designated for assignment to clear waivers, with pitcher Mike Mayers and outfielder Magneuris Sierra also getting outrighted to Triple-A on Sunday. The 30-year-old Ford is eligible to become a free agent this offseason and may have to settle for a minor-league deal after slashing .206/.302/.313 over 149 plate appearances in the majors this season between stops with the Angels, Mariners, Giants and Atlanta.

Vogelbach went 2-for-2 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in a 5-3 loss to Atlanta on Sunday.

Vogelbach got New York on the board with a solo home run in the second inning and added an RBI single in the third before being pulled for pinch-hitter Francisco Alvarez in the fifth. The long ball was just the second for the 29-year-old since Aug. 22 as he's been patient at the dish with 15 walks and 15 hits during the 26-game stretch. Vogelbach is slashing .239/.361/.439 with 18 home runs, 45 runs and 59 RBI in 127 games.

Winker went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and a walk in Sunday's 10-3 loss to the Athletics.

It took until the ninth inning, but Winker helped the Mariners avoid a shutout with his three-run blast. It was his first extra-base hit in 15 games, and his first homer since Aug. 17, as the outfielder has endured a rough second half of the campaign. The extended slump has dropped his slash line to .219/.344/.344 with 14 homers, 53 RBI, 51 runs scored and 15 doubles through 136 contests. On the bright side, he's hit safely in four of his last five games.

Reyes went 2-for-5 with a double, one RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's win over the Reds.

Reyes accounted for three of the Cubs' eight runs Sunday with an RBI single and two runs scored. His two hits on the day marked his first multi-hit game since Sept. 7, a stretch in which he was slashing .133/.235/.150 entering Sunday. Despite being known for his prodigious power, he has not left the yard since Aug. 31.

Turner (lower leg) is batting fifth as the designated hitter Sunday against the Rockies, Kirsten Watson of SportsNet LA reports.

Turner was held out the past four games with the lower-leg injury but will rejoin the starting nine Sunday. The 37-year-old is coming off a strong September, as he hit .342 with four home runs, eight doubles, 15 RBI and 14 runs in 21 contests.

Jimenez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.

Jimenez is 2-for-16 over his past five games and will take a seat for Sunday's series finale in San Diego. Jose Abreu will serve as the designated hitter while Andrew Vaughn receives a start at first base.

Morel is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.

Morel started the past five games and will receive a day off after he went 4-for-14 with two home runs, a double and five RBI during that span. Nelson Velazquez will man center field and bat ninth Sunday.

Carpenter (foot) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Sunday, meaning he won't be activated before the end of the regular season.

He could still possibly return in the postseason if the Yankees make a deep run. Carpenter could get at-bats in Somerset in the meantime, though he is still walking around with a limp, per Chris Kirschner of The Athletic.

Stanton is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Stanton went 2-for-4 and launched his 29th home run of the season in Saturday's contest, and he'll take a seat for the series finale. Aaron Judge will rest his legs as the designated hitter Sunday while Aaron Hicks starts in the outfield.
