Miller isn't starting Saturday against Detroit.

Miller appears to have lost his job as the Rangers' primary designated hitter, and he'll be on the bench for a fourth consecutive matchup. Mark Mathias is serving as the DH and batting seventh.

Jimenez (leg) will bat cleanup and serve as the designated hitter Saturday against the Diamondbacks.

Jimenez left Friday's series opener with a right leg injury, though the White Sox downplayed the issue after the game. Jimenez will indeed return to action without missing a start, though he won't be asked to play the field.

Choi isn't starting Saturday against Boston, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

Choi went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer and two strikeouts Friday, but he'll get a breather with left-hander Rich Hill on the mound Saturday. Harold Ramirez is starting at first base and batting cleanup.

Choi went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Friday against the Red Sox.

Choi took Michael Wacha yard in the second inning to tally his ninth homer of the season. It was Choi's first home run since July 27, and in 18 games between long balls, he hit just .109 with a 35.9 percent strikeout rate. Despite his struggles, Choi continues to get regular at-bats against right-handed pitchers.

Winker was ejected from Friday's game against the Guardians at the end of the eighth inning for arguing balls and strikes, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Winker struck out on a called third strike to end the eighth and exchanged words with the umpire before being tossed from the matchup. Prior to his ejection, he went 1-for-4 with two strikeouts. It seems unlikely that the incident will lead to a suspension, so he should be available for Saturday's game against Cleveland.

Jimenez exited Friday's loss to the Diamondbacks due to a right leg issue, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

Jimenez went 1-for-1 with a run and two walks to begin Friday's matchup, but he was replaced defensively in the top of the ninth inning. Manager Tony La Russa didn't sound too concerned about Jimenez's injury after the game and said that the 25-year-old has dealt with a similar issue a few times following his surgery. Jimenez should be considered day-to-day for now.

Miller will sit Friday against the Tigers.

Miller will ride the pine for a third game in a row. Mark Mathias will start at designated hitter and bat seventh versus Detroit.

Ramirez went 1-for-4 with three RBI and a run scored Thursday against the Angels.

Ramirez delivered a two-run single in the seventh inning, and he now has a hit in nine straight games since returning from the injured list. He's hit .333 in that span while also chipping in six runs scored and nine RBI. Overall, he's put together a strong .330/.373/.448 slash line across 303 plate appearances on the season.

Ford went 2-for-4 in a loss to the Rays on Thursday.

Ford signed with the Angels on Wednesday and was brought up to the big club the following day. He struck out in his first at-bat but followed with consecutive singles before fanning again in his final plate appearance. Ford should see plenty of playing time with Jared Walsh out for the season after being diagnosed with thoracic outlet syndrome.

Stanton went 1-for-4 with a walk and three RBI in Thursday's 13-4 rout of Oakland.

Stanton was activated from the injured list prior to the game after he missed over a month due to an Achilles injury. The slugger wasted little time reintroducing himself to the offense, driving in two runs with a single in the second inning. Stanton produced another RBI as a result of walking with the bases loaded in the following frame, giving him his ninth performance with at least three RBI on the campaign. Stanton's bat is a welcome addition to a Yankees offense that largely struggled during the later stages of his absence.
