Stanton is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rangers, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

Stanton is one of five Yankees regulars who will be sitting out Wednesday with little on the line in the regular-season finale. The 32-year-old slugger endured another injury-marred campaign in 2022 and wasn't as effective as usual when he was healthy enough to play. His .759 OPS is the lowest mark of his career by 56 points.

Cabrera is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mariners.

Even though Cabrera was rested in the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader, he'll remain on the bench as the Tigers wrap up their season and their series in Seattle on Wednesday. Unless the Tigers turn to him for a pinch-hitting appearance, Cabrera will finish the campaign with a career-worst .622 OPS over his 433 plate appearances. The 39-year-old is due $32 million in 2023, the final season of the eight-year, $248 million megadeal he signed in March 2014.

Alvarez went 3-for-5 with three doubles and two runs scored in Tuesday's 10-0 win over the Phillies.

Alvarez had a productive game Tuesday, his second with multiple extra-base hits in his last five contests. While he's gone 13 games without a home run, he's racked up seven doubles, seven RBI and six runs scored in that span. The 25-year-old slugger is up to a .304/.405/.612 slash line with 37 homers, 96 RBI, 95 runs scored, 29 doubles and a stolen base through 134 contests. His 1.017 OPS ranks second in baseball behind only Aaron Judge.

Interim manager Miguel Cairo said Jimenez won't be in the lineup for Wednesday's season finale against Minnesota, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

The 25-year-old went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk, an RBI and a run during Wednesday's 8-3 victory, which will end up being his final start of the season. Barring an appearance off the bench, Jimenez will finish 2022 with a .295/.358/.500 slash line, 16 home runs, 54 RBI and 40 runs in 84 games.

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.
