Vogelbach (hamstring) has gone 10-for-27 (.370) with two home runs and five RBI through 10 games in his rehab assignment at Triple-A Nashville.

The Brewers wanted Vogelbach to spend some time at the minor-league level to get his swing back, and he has certainly accomplished that. Vogelbach was starting regularly at first base at the time of his injury, but it is tough to envision him reprising that role when his rehab stint comes to a close, as Rowdy Tellez joined the club during his absence and has posted a .993 OPS over 26 games.

Ramirez (knee) isn't starting Thursday's game against Oakland.

Ramirez left Wednesday's contest due to right knee tightness, and he'll be out of the lineup for at least one game. Oscar Mercado will start in left field and bat seventh.

Turner (groin) will remain on the bench for Thursday's game against the Phillies, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Turner hasn't played since Sunday while working through left groin discomfort. Previous reports indicated he wouldn't return before Friday, so his absence Thursday is an expected one. Max Muncy will shift to third base in his absence, with Albert Pujols starting at first.

Cabrera went 3-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Wednesday's win over the Orioles.

Cabrera went deep in the fifth inning off Matt Harvey for his 12th home run of the season and the 499th of his storied career. He had a chance to get No. 500 later in the game but had to settle for a sacrifice fly instead. Cabrera has been playing well lately with a .380 average and five home runs across his last 15 games. The veteran should remain particularly focused at the plate as he chases the milestone long ball, and fantasy managers may want to take a peek if he's able to keep up this level of production.

Ramirez was removed from Wednesday's game against the A's with right knee tightness, Joe Noga of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Ramirez went 1-for-1 with an RBI and suffered the injury when he was caught stealing during the opening frame. He should be considered day-to-day until more is known about the injury.

Brantley went 3-for-5 with two runs scored in Wednesday's 5-1 win over Colorado.

All three of the outfielder's hits were singles, and he was able to cross the plate in the first and seventh innings. Brantley has posted a trio of three-hit efforts in his last 13 games. He's been highly effective at the plate with a .332 batting average and .865 OPS through 390 plate appearances. The 34-year-old has added seven home runs, 38 RBI, 58 runs scored and a stolen base in 91 games.

Dickerson is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Diamondbacks, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Dickerson has regularly sat against left-handed pitchers this season, but he's on the bench Wednesday with righty Merrill Kelly taking the mound. Darin Ruf will start in left field in his place.

Torrens is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Rangers.

Torrens is mired in a 1-for-20 slump and will take a seat for the second time in the past three games. Jake Bauers will bat ninth as the designated hitter in his place Wednesday.

Miller isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers.

Miller had started each of the last four games with Rhys Hoskins (groin) unavailable, and he went 4-for-14 with two homers, a triple, three runs and two RBI. Alec Bohm will take over at first base while Didi Gregorius starts at the hot corner.

McCutchen (knee) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Wednesday, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

McCutchen will return from the 10-day IL on his first day of eligibility after he recovered from left knee inflammation. He'll reclaim his job as the primary left fielder and will be in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.
