Lowe went 1-for-3 with a solo homer, a walk and two runs scored in Monday's 2-1 win over the Mets.

Lowe scored in the second inning on a Manuel Margot sacrifice fly before taking Jacob deGrom deep with a solo blast in the fourth. The lefty slugger bumped his season OPS up to .913 with four homers this season.

Naylor left Monday's game against the White Sox after jamming his leg into second base on a slide, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

Naylor was having an impressive night at the dish prior to suffering the injury, going 3-for-4 with two doubles and a run scored. He was replaced by Oscar Mercado in left field and will be considered day-to-day until he's examined further.

Diaz (hamstring) felt good following a pair of batting practice sessions in the last two days and will advance to live batting practice soon, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Diaz has missed all of September with a strained right hamstring. Whether or not he returns before the playoffs remains to be seen, but it appears as though he has a chance to do so.

Voit went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's loss to Boston.

The Yankees managed only three base knocks as a team in the loss, but Voit managed to keep his six-game hitting streak intact with a solo shot in the ninth inning. Over the six-game stretch, the slugger has gone 10-for-26 with five homers and 12 RBI. His 21 long balls this season lead the majors; Jose Abreu ranks second with 18.

Voit has been managing foot pain for some time, but it has not limited him at the plate, Brendan Kuty of NJ Advance Media reports.

The Yankees and Voit have been vague about the exact nature of the condition, simply referring to it as "foot stuff." While manager Aaron Boone explained that the issue causes Voit pain, he also stated "it's not something that's limiting." Voit's performance at the plate validates that assessment, as he is slashing .327/.345/.750 with seven home runs and 20 RBI over his past 12 games.

Tellez (knee) has progressed to taking swings in the batting cage, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

The 25-year-old was given a pessimistic outlook after suffering a tendon injury Sept. 8, but his return to baseball activities is a solid sign for his progression. Tellez will still have a difficult time returning before the end of the regular season with only seven games remaining.

Gurriel (hand) is starting at first base and batting fifth Sunday against the Diamondbacks, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

The veteran first baseman was absent from Saturday's starting nine due to a hand issue, but he's back in action after missing one game. Gurriel has struggled through 17 games in September with a .167/.175/.250 slash line and one home run in 60 at-bats.

France went 2-for-4 with an RBI in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Padres.

A pair of ex-Padres helped lead Seattle to the victory column Saturday, as trade-deadline pickups France and Luis Torrens (two hits, two RBI) combined for half of the Mariners' hit total. Since being acquired from San Diego on Aug. 30, France has thrived as an everyday player for Seattle, slashing .309/.377/.491 over 15 games with his new team.

Guerrero (dizziness) is starting at first base and batting sixth Sunday against the Phillies.

The 21-year-old was withheld from Saturday's starting nine since he was feeling "a little dizzy" after a pitch grazed his helmet and face Friday, but he's good to go for Sunday's series finale. Guerrero has a .203/.282/.328 slash line with two homers through 19 games in September.

Naylor is not in the lineup Sunday against the Tigers.

Naylor has received the bulk of the playing time in left field since being acquired by the Indians ahead of the trade deadline, but he finds himself on the bench for the second time in the past three games with southpaw Matthew Boyd pitching for Detroit. Oscar Mercado enters the lineup in left for Cleveland.
