The White Sox placed Jimenez (appendix) on the 10-day injured list Sunday.

Jimenez underwent an emergency appendectomy in Cincinnati on Saturday, but since the White Sox didn't immediately have a player available to replace him on the 26-man active roster that day, the team waited until Sunday to officially move him to the IL. Catcher Carlos Perez will move up from Triple-A Charlotte to take the spot of Jimenez, who is expected to require 4-to-6 weeks of recovery time.

Turner is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

Turner looks to be getting a well-deserved veteran's day off after he had started at either first base or designated hitter in each of Boston's last 18 games. Masataka Yoshida will get a chance to rest his legs as Boston's DH rather than playing his usual spot in left field while Turner rests.

Jimenez (abdomen) underwent an appendectomy Saturday, which is expected to sideline him 4-to-6 weeks.

Jimenez went to the hospital Saturday with severe abdominal pain, which ultimately led to the removal of his appendix. The 26-year-old never seems to catch a break when it comes to his health, and he'll now be sidelined for at least a month while recovering from the procedure. Over the last three seasons prior to 2023, Jimenez only appeared in 192 games while dealing with an assortment of ailments. He'll likely officially be placed on the injured list Sunday.

Jimenez is at a local hospital in Cincinnati on Saturday after suffering from abdominal pain, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

The pain apparently intensified Friday night, and Jimenez went to the hospital overnight. Manager Pedro Grifol said the team should get an update on Jimenez's status later Saturday, but the skipper did not offer an immediate timetable for the designated hitter's return to action.

Ramirez will sit Saturday against the Yankees, Ryan Bass of Bally Sports Sun reports.

Ramirez is off to an excellent start this season, hitting .321/.387/.607 with six homers in 24 games. His barrel rate sits at a career-high 9.1 percent. Despite that early success, Tampa Bay's crowded roster means he's hit the bench in two of the last three games and 11 times total in 34 contests this season. Randy Arozarena will rest his legs as the designated hitter Saturday, with Luke Raley taking Arozarena's usual spot in left field.

Alvarez went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Friday's 6-4 win over Seattle.

Alvarez's 408-foot long ball to center gave Houston a 3-0 lead in the third inning. The power hitter is now tied for third in the league with 30 RBI, and he now has hits in eight of his last nine games. The 25-year-old's current batting average (.263) is significantly below his mark from last season (.306), but Alvarez still has plenty of time to get hot and boost that number close to .300.

Cabrera went 0-for-4 in Friday's 5-4 win over the Cardinals.

Cabrera hadn't played since April 29 due to a combination of lineup decisions, rainouts and an illness. The 40-year-old saw his slash line sink to .175/.217/.228 for the season after his fifth hitless effort in his last seven games.

Rooker went 3-for-5 with a home run, a double, three RBI, two runs scored and a walk in a win over the Royals on Friday.

Rooker made an impact early, belting a two-run homer in the third inning followed by an RBI double in the fourth. The breakout slugger is up to 10 long balls and 25 RBI through 26 games this season. Over his last 11 games, he's gone 14-for-40 (.350) with eight extra-base hits.

Astros manager Dusty Baker told reporters before Friday's game against the Mariners that Brantley (shoulder) could return to the lineup early next week against the Angels, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Brantley has been ruled out from returning over the weekend for the three-game set against the Mariners, but his season debut doesn't appear to be far off. The veteran outfielder has been recovering from surgery on his right shoulder, and he should see regular playing time as the designated hitter with some stints in left field and first base once he's back.

Cabrera (illness) is in the Tigers' lineup Friday against the Cardinals.

After missing the Tigers' last three games due to illness, Cabrera makes his return to the lineup. The 40-year-old DH is currently in the middle of the worst year of his career at the plate with a .477 OPS through 56 plate appearances.
