Cabrera is out of the lineup for Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Mariners.

Cabrera started Game 1 and went 1-for-3 with a walk. The veteran has confirmed he will return for the 2023 season, though his fantasy appeal has mostly vanished. The former MVP has a .622 OPS this year with just five home runs and 43 RBI.

Winker (neck) is not in the lineup for Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Tigers, Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM reports.

Winker was scratched from Monday's lineup with the neck issue and won't start either game of Tuesday's twin bill. Jarred Kelenic will start in left field and bat second in the nightcap.

Winker (neck) is not in the lineup for Game 1 of Tueday's doubleheader against the Tigers.

Winker is day-to-day with a neck issue. Adam Frazier is starting in left field and batting eighth.

Ramirez will sit Tuesday against the Red Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Ramirez has been in a small slump recently, going hitless in five of his last six games. Isaac Paredes will get the nod at first base in his absence.

Stanton will sit for the first half of Tuesday's doubleheader against Texas.

The Yankees are resting several veterans during the afternoon game, as there's no sense in overworking anybody late in the season with the team locked into the second seed in the American League. Aaron Judge will rest his legs in Stanton's usual designated hitter spot.

Mariners manager Scott Servais said Winker was scratched from the lineup ahead of Monday's 4-3 loss to the Tigers due to a neck issue, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.

The injury looks to be a day-to-day concern, but it could be enough to keep Winker on the bench for both ends of Tuesday's doubleheader with Detroit. Sam Haggerty also departed Monday's game with a groin injury and is also iffy for the twin bill, potentially leaving the Mariners shorthanded in the outfield.

Stanton went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and two walks in Monday's win over the Rangers.

Stanton launched a solo homer off Jonathan Hernandez in the eighth frame, expanding the Yankees' lead to 3-0. The long ball was his 30th of the campaign and sixth since Sept. 10. Over his last 17 games, Stanton has produced a .197 average with six homers, 13 RBI and 12 runs.

Winker has been scratched from Monday's starting lineup against the Tigers.

It's unclear if Winker was removed from the starting nine due to an injury, or whether skipper Scott Servais simply had a change of heart. Sam Haggerty will start the contest in left field and bat eighth.

O'Keefe was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma on Monday.

The 29-year-old's contract was selected Friday to provide additional depth behind the plate while Curt Casali was on the paternity list. O'Keefe went 1-for-3 with a walk and two strikeouts over two big-league games and will head back to the minors after Casali was activated Monday.

The Angels outrighted Ford to Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday.

Ford was one of three Angels recently designated for assignment to clear waivers, with pitcher Mike Mayers and outfielder Magneuris Sierra also getting outrighted to Triple-A on Sunday. The 30-year-old Ford is eligible to become a free agent this offseason and may have to settle for a minor-league deal after slashing .206/.302/.313 over 149 plate appearances in the majors this season between stops with the Angels, Mariners, Giants and Atlanta.
