Jimenez went 3-for-4 with three RBI in Saturday's 10-2 victory over the Athletics.

Jimenez sent Yoan Moncada home on a fourth-inning sac fly, then picked up two more RBI on a seventh-inning single that set Elvis Andrus and Moncada to the plate. The three-hit outing extended Jimenez's hit streak to five games, a streak that includes four mulit-hit performances. During that span, the young outfielder has picked up three homers, nine RBI and five runs while raising his average from .292 to .314.

Ramirez is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees, according to Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network.

Ramirez went just 3-for-22 (.136) over his last six games, so manager Kevin Cash decided it was time for a day off. Jonathan Aranda will start at first base Sunday, and Yandy Diaz will serve as the Rays' designated hitter.

Stanton went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Saturday's 10-3 victory over the Rays.

Stanton capped off the scoring for the Yankees with a solo homer, his 25th this season. It was against a position player in Christian Bethancourt, but they all count the same. Stanton has been battling discomfort this week after fouling a ball off his foot. Saturday's start was his first since the incident occurred Monday.

Ohtani left Saturday's game against the Astros as a pitcher due to a blister on his right index finger.

Ohtani remained in the game as the Angels' designated hitter, but he could only make it five innings (79 pitches) on the mound due to the blister issue. The AL MVP candidate allowed one run on six hits and two walks while striking out seven. Ohtani's status for his next start as a pitcher is up in the air.

Buxton (hip) is expected to return prior to the end of the regular season, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

Buxton hasn't yet resumed baseball activities, and manager Rocco Baldelli said Saturday that he doesn't expect the outfielder to return this weekend or early next week. However, the team still hopes that the 28-year-old will be able to contribute late in the year.

Winker isn't in the lineup Saturday against Atlanta.

Winker is resting after he went 2-for-7 with a double, a run, three walks and a strikeout over the last three games. Sam Haggerty will start in left field and bat seventh.

Stanton (foot) is starting Saturday against the Rays, Marly Rivera of ESPN.com reports.

Stanton was out of the lineup for the last four games, but he appeared off the bench Thursday and Friday. The 32-year-old is serving as the designated hitter and batting second Saturday.

Jimenez went 2-for-4 with a solo home run Friday against the Athletics.

Jimenez took A.J. Puk yard in the ninth inning, which began a five-run rally to give the White Sox a win. He's now homered in three consecutive games, which has brought his total on the season to 12. Jimenez is also riding a modest four-game hitting streak, during which he's gone 8-for-17 with six RBI and five runs scored. On the campaign, Jimenez has a .306/.374/.502 line across 246 plate appearances.

Ford isn't starting Friday against the Astros, Edwin Perez of MLB.com reports.

Ford is getting a breather after he went 1-for-7 with a solo home run and two strikeouts over the last two games. Matt Thaiss is starting at first base and batting sixth.

Miller was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right hip strain Friday.

Miller has been sidelined since Aug. 31 due to his hip injury, so his move to the IL is likely backdated a few days. The transaction helps to make room on the active roster for Josh Jung, whose contract was officially selected Friday. It's not yet clear when Miller will be able to return to game action.
