Turner is not in Saturday's lineup against the Rockies.

This will be Turner's third day out of the lineup thus far this season, as the Jays look to keep the veteran fresh. He is hitting .350 with one home run, seven runs and five RBI in 40 at-bats. Daniel Vogelbach is starting at designated hitter and batting cleanup against righty Dakota Hudson.

Stanton isn't in the Yankees' lineup for the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Guardians.

Stanton will get a breather after recording a hit in each of the Yankees' last five games, going 8-for-19 with three homers and seven RBI in that span. He'll likely return to the lineup for Game 2, but in the meantime Aaron Judge will fill in as New York's DH, allowing Trent Grisham to start in center field.

Ramirez went 3-for-4 with two runs scored and a stolen base in Friday's 2-1 win over the Giants.

The 29-year-old provided the only offensive spark the Tampa pitching staff would need, reaching base and crossing the plate in the second and third innings. Ramirez's steal was his first of the season, and he's been spraying the ball around of late, producing five multi-hit performances in his last eight games -- although only one of his knocks during that stretch, a double, went for extra bases. On the season, he's slashing .294/.294/.314 with five RBI and seven runs in 12 contests.

Sano is not in the lineup for Friday's game at Boston, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

Sano started three of the past four games but went 2-for-12 with a walk and seven strikeouts during that span. Brandon Drury will receive a turn as the Angels' designated hitter while Luis Rengifo starts at the keystone.

Jimenez (adductor) will ramp up his running intensity this week, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports.

It's good that Jimenez is upping his activity level, but it would appear he's not going to return this weekend as had been hoped. Jimenez has been sidelined for the past week with a left adductor strain. Gavin Sheets has held down designated hitter duties for the Pale Hose since Jimenez was injured.

Rooker was placed on the 10-day injured list by the Athletics on Thursday with a costochondral cartilage injury.

Rooker had to depart Sunday's' game versus the Tigers with the injury and didn't make enough improvement in subsequent days to avoid the IL. He'll be eligible to return next week but it's not clear at this point whether he might be ready by then.

Sheets went 3-for-5 with a home run, two doubles, five RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's loss to the Guardians. He also stole a base.

Sheets had himself a day at the plate Wednesday, driving home the first run of the game with a double in the top of the first before coming around to score himself, putting Chicago up 2-0. He then launched a three-run shot in the third and another RBI double in the 10th to put the White Sox up yet again, though his incredible effort would still fall short in the loss. It marked Sheets' first three-hit game of the season and his third multi-hit game in his last six contests. He's now batting .360 in April with two homers, seven RBI and four runs scored.

Jimenez (thigh) is progressing in his recovery and could return during the White Sox's weekend series against the Reds, MLB.com reports.

Manager Pedro Grifol said that Jimenez is feeling better each day, but he declined to give a specific return date. As expected, the priority for the team is to avoid any setbacks or aggravation of the injury. Given the rash of injuries the White Sox have faced early on this season, as well as his own history of issues, the team may take a cautious approach with Jimenez.

Stanton went 1-for-3 with a solo home run during Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Marlins.

Stanton generated an extra-base hit for the fifth consecutive game, with Wednesday's coming via a solo homer off Bryan Hoeing in the sixth frame. Through 11 games, Stanton boasts a .605 slugging percentage.

Langford is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.

The prized rookie will take a seat for the first time this season, ending a streak of 11 consecutive starts to begin his big-league career. Travis Jankowski will enter the lineup at designated hitter in place of Langford, who is hitting .261 with zero home runs, zero steals, six RBI and four runs across his first 51 big-league plate appearances.
