Turner left Friday's game against the Padres with left knee soreness, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports. He went 0-for-1 with a run scored before leaving.

Turner was replaced in the top of the fifth by Triston Casas. For now, Turner should be considered day-to-day, but it's possible the veteran infielder will undergo further testing to determine the severity of the injury.

Ohtani went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional RBI against the Orioles in a 6-5 win Thursday.

Ohtani put the Angels on the board with a solo shot in the first inning, and he capped his performance with an infield single that plated the game-winning run in the eighth. The two-way star is up to 10 long balls on the campaign, which puts him in a three-way tie for the team lead. Ohtani has added 31 RBI, 26 runs and six stolen bases along with a .292/.362/.542 slash line as a hitter.

Turner went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run and three total runs in Wednesday's 12-3 victory over Seattle.

Turner helped Boston get off to a fast start, singling and scoring in the first inning and launching a two-run homer to left field in the second. It was the second straight game with a long ball for Turner, who didn't homer until his 16th contest this season. The veteran has been picking up steam at the plate of late, going 10-for-28 (.357) with three homers and six RBI over his past eight games.

Buxton went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 7-3 loss to the Dodgers.

Buxton got the Twins on the board in the fourth inning with a solo shot off Dylan Covey, tying the game 1-1. The 29-year-old Buxton has been on fire lately, going 7-for-18 with three extra-base hits in his last four games after going 0-for-23 in his previous seven contests. He's slashing .236/.341/.493 with nine homers, 21 RBI and four steals through 173 plate appearances this season.

Ramirez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Ramirez filled in at first base for Yandy Diaz (groin) in Tuesday's 8-5 win, but Isaac Paredes will replace Diaz in the second game of the series. Though he's holding down a robust .925 OPS for the season, Ramirez is still expected to find himself out of the lineup once or twice per week due to the Rays' wealth of options in the corner infield, outfield and at designated hitter.

Stanton (hamstring) is close to beginning a rehab assignment, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

Stanton is a month into a projected 4-6 week timetable with a Grade 2 left hamstring strain and appears to have progressed to the point that rehab games are just around the corner. He has been getting work in the outfield while rehabbing and is expected to be used some in the field in addition to designated hitter once he's ready to return.

Jimenez (abdomen) said Wednesday that he hopes to return from the 10-day injured list by the end of next week, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

Jimenez was cleared to run the bases Tuesday and will incorporate more and more baseball activities in the coming days before presumably heading out on a minor-league rehab assignment by early next week. He underwent an emergency appendectomy May 6 and had originally been expected to miss more than a month.

Rooker went 2-for-4 with an RBI single, two walks and two runs in an extra-innings win over the Diamondbacks on Tuesday.

Rooker generated some impressive small-ball production as part of Oakland's 12-hit outburst. The 28-year-old has been an indisputable bright spot in a frequently sputtering Athletics offense, with Tuesday's busy night pushing his season slash line to an elite .304/.418/.624 across 153 plate appearances.

Turner went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 9-4 win over the Mariners.

The veteran infielder took Luis Castillo deep in the first inning to give Boston an early 3-0 lead. Turner is enjoying a solid May, slashing .288/.356/.481 through 14 games with two of his four homers and seven of his 16 RBI on the year.

Alvarez went 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 7-3 win over the Cubs.

Alvarez tallied RBI knocks in the fourth and seventh innings, bringing his total on the season to 39. He's in the midst of a 13-game hitting streak, during which he's hit .354 with three homers, 12 RBI and eight runs scored. Overall, Alvarez has maintained an impressive .298/.400/.573 line across 155 plate appearances.
