Canha is out of the lineup for Friday's game at Baltimore.

Canha has started all 19 games this season but will head to the bench Friday, giving him two straight days of rest following Thursday's scheduled off day. Seth Brown, Ramon Laureano and Stephen Piscotty will start from left to right in the outfield for Oakland.

Pederson (wrist) is not currently scheduled for an MRI and will be reevaluated after a few days of rest, Tony Andracki of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Pederson was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday, retroactive to April 21. It's unclear whether he will be able to return after the minimum time, though we should have a clearer idea of his status within a few days. Jake Marisnick and Nico Hoerner could both see increased playing time in Pederson's absence.

Winker went 2-for-4 with two walks, two home runs, three RBI and two total runs scored in Thursday's extra-inning loss to the Diamondbacks.

The Reds let this one slip away and are now back at .500, but Winker did all he could, reaching base four times and homering twice out of the leadoff spot. Winker missed time earlier in the season with calf cramps, but he's now batting .373 with a 1.095 OPS, so there should be no more questions about him possibly splitting time with Tyler Naquin.

Dickerson isn't starting Thursday's game against the Marlins, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Left-hander Daniel Castano is starting Thursday's series opener for the Marlins, so Dickerson will retreat to the bench. Darin Ruf will take his place in left field, batting fifth.

Belt (quadriceps) isn't starting Thursday's game against the Marlins, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Belt left Tuesday's game with right quadriceps soreness and will remain out of the lineup for a second consecutive game. Wilmer Flores will start at first base and bat second Thursday.

Pederson was placed on the 10-day injured list due to left wrist tendinitis, retroactive to April 21, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Pederson had already been out of the lineup for the last two games due to this issue. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to return to action, but Jake Marisnick could see increased playing time in Pederson's absence. Nico Hoerner was recalled from the Cubs' alternate training site in a corresponding move.

Stanton isn't starting Thursday's game against Cleveland, Kristie Ackert of the New York Daily News reports.

Stanton had started in each of the last five games and went 2-for-17 with two home runs, three RBI and 10 strikeouts during that time. Aaron Judge will serve as the designated hitter while Clint Frazier starts in right field Thursday.

Pederson is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Mets.

With the Mets bringing a lefty (Joey Lucchesi) to the hill for the second straight day, the left-handed Pederson will once again head to the bench. Jake Marisnick will replace Pederson in the Chicago outfield.

Cabrera (biceps) took part in batting practice on the field Thursday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Cabrera took batting practice in the cage earlier in the week, and he appeared to be swinging freely while hitting on the field Thursday. Although Cabrera isn't expected to face a lengthy absence due to his mild left biceps strain, a clear timetable for his return isn't yet known. Wilson Ramos and Jeimer Candelario should continue to fill in at designated hitter in his absence.

Soler went 3-for-4 with a home run, a double and two runs scored in Wednesday's 9-8 win over the Rays.

Soler had a massive day at the plate, taking Michael Wacha deep to left to begin the fourth and doubling off the top of the wall in the sixth. The home run was his first since Opening Day. Soler can hit the ball as hard as anyone in the league, but his slugging numbers haven't quite been what fantasy managers are looking for so far this season. The 29-year-old now owns a slash line of .208/.328/.377 with five extra-base hits, six RBI and six runs scored through his first 17 games.
