Canha will sit Tuesday against Milwaukee.

Canha owns a .930 OPS over his last seven games, going hitless just once over that stretch. He'll rest his legs Tuesday, with Jeff McNeil starting in left field.

Cabrera will sit Tuesday against the White Sox.

Cabrera owns a .568 OPS thus far in June and hasn't managed a single extra-base hit in 11 games this month. Austin Meadows will serve as the designated hitter Tuesday, with Victor Reyes stepping into Meadows' usual spot in right field.

Winker went 1-for-3 with two walks in a loss to the Twins on Monday.

Winker turned in a productive effort befitting of his leadoff role, yet none of the hitters behind him were able to drive him in during his three times on base. The veteran outfielder continues be saddled with an ugly .208/.319/.303 slash line, but he's now reached safely in five straight games, albeit with just one extra-base hit during that span.

Vogelbach will be on the bench for the first half of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Cardinals.

The Cardinals will send out southpaw Matthew Liberatore in the first game of the day, and the lefty-hitting Vogelbach will be stuck on the bench. Righty Miles Mikolas will be on the mound for the nightcap, so expect Vogelbach to return to action this evening.

Buxton went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Monday's 3-2 win over the Mariners.

Buxton had a hand in all three of Minnesota's runs in the victory, swatting a two-run homer to right field in the first inning and scoring the decisive run in the seventh. The 28-year-old is enjoying a big June thus far, slashing .351/.429/.973 with seven homers, 11 RBI and 11 runs across 10 games. Buxton's 18 homers on the season trail only Aaron Judge's 24.

Ozuna went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Monday's 9-5 win over the Nationals.

Ozuna took Nationals starter Erasmo Ramirez deep in the third inning. The long ball was Ozuna's first since his two-homer game May 29 versus the Marlins, and he's added just three doubles in that rather power-dry stretch. The slugger is up to a .227/.269/.403 slash line with 11 homers, 25 RBI, 28 runs scored, two stolen bases and eight doubles through 59 contests. He should continue to see a regular role as the designated hitter, but he lost his spot as the No. 3 hitter early in June and has batted sixth or seventh in his last seven starts. Ozuna's also seen himself occasionally on the bench against right-handed pitchers lately.

Belt (knee) could be activated from the 10-day injured list during San Francisco's three-game series with Kansas City, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Belt is feeling strong, per Pavlovic, though the team has yet to set a firm date for his activation. The Giants appear to be taking it day-by-day with the first baseman.

Stanton went 2-for-4 with a double, two walks, three runs and three RBI in Sunday's 18-4 win over the Cubs.

The Yankees enjoyed a big game on offense, and Stanton was in the middle of the action. He reached base four times for the third time this season and was one of three New York players to plate at least three runs. Stanton had gone 3-for-31 at the plate over his previous 11 games entering Sunday, so he'll look to to use the standout performance as a starting point for busting out of the slump.

The Padres optioned Rooker to Triple-A El Paso on Sunday.

Rooker's stint with the Padres lasted just one day after he didn't appear in either game of Saturday's doubleheader with the Rockies when he was called up to serve as the club's 27th man. He still has yet to make his San Diego debut.

Brantley went 1-for-4 with a walk, two RBI and two runs scored Sunday against the Marlins.

Brantley took advantage of Houston hitters getting on base in front of him, as he drove in both of his runs on groundouts. The performance also extended his hitting streak to eight games, during which Brantley has driven in four and scored five runs. He's maintained a strong .291/.378/.418 line across 226 plate appearances this season.
