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.

Freeman went 0-for-2 with three walks, one run and one strikeout in Sunday's win against the Mets.

Freeman struck out four times in Saturday's contest, but he displayed more patience at the plate in the series finale against New York. The 31-year-old carries a career-best 1.097 OPS with 11 home runs, 48 RBI and 45 runs in 2020.

Cabrera went 3-for-5 with a double, a home run, four RBI and two runs scored in the second game of Sunday's doubleheader against the Marlins.

Cabrera paced the team with seven total bases in the 15-0 rout. He also had a double in the matinee, so he was 4-for-8 in total Sunday and raised his season SLG by more than 30 points. The 34-year-old is playing close to every day between first base and DH while batting mostly third or fourth in the order.

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.

Bohm (illness) will start at first base and will bat third Sunday against the Blue Jays.

Bohm was sidelined for Saturday's 3-1 win, but he's apparently feeling well enough to give it a go in the series finale. The rookie has been Philadelphia's most productive hitter in September, slashing .359/.400/.551 with three home runs and 14 RBI in 21 games.

Solano is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.

Solano will take a seat after starting in each of the previous four contests, during which he went 4-for-17 with an RBI. Wilmer Flores spells him at the keystone in the series finale.

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.
