Stanton went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 8-0 victory versus the Cubs.

Stanton was part of a homer barrage against Cubs starter Matt Swarmer, as the slugger's 436-foot, fourth-inning blast was one of six solo shots hit by the Yankees against the rookie hurler. Of note, Stanton's blast was hit at an estimated 119.8 mph -- the hardest hit homer in the majors this season and the fourth-hardest in the Statcast era, per Sarah Langs of MLB.com. Stanton has just two hits over his past 15 at-bats, but both have left the yard.

Ohtani went 3-for-4 with a home run, double, three runs and three RBI in a 11-6 win against the Mets on Saturday.

Ohtani reached base with a double, single and home run in each of his first three at-bats for his first three-hit game since May 9. In the process, the 27-year-old extended his hit streak to a modest eight games, though he's batting a standard .286 during 42 June at-bats. The two-way phenom is now slashing .255/.333/.476 with 13 home runs, 41 runs and 37 RBI in 60 games.

Buxton is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Rays, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

Buxton walloped a whopping five home runs over his last three games, but he will get a chance to get off his feet Saturday. Gilberto Celestino will get the start in center field, and Gary Sanchez will serve as the Twins' designated hitter.

Brantley went 2-for-3 with two walks, a solo home run and a second run scored in Friday's 7-4 loss to the Marlins.

He got the Astros on the board by taking Pablo Lopez deep in the bottom of the first inning, but the Marlins were already ahead 2-0 and never relinquished their lead. Brantley is posting his usual numbers in his age-35 season, slashing .293/.380/.426 through 50 games with four homers, one steal, 18 RBI and 19 runs. The home run was Brantley's first since May 17.

Buxton went 2-for-5 with two solo home runs and a third run scored in Friday's 9-4 win over the Rays.

After the center fielder took Gerrit Cole deep twice Thursday, it was Drew Rasmussen's turn to feel Buxton's wrath. The 28-year-old became only the fourth player in Twins history to have consecutive multi-homer games, and Friday's performance continued a power surge that has seen Buxton bat .400 (10-for-25) over his last six games with two doubles, six homers, nine runs and nine RBI.

Miller started in left field and went 0-for-4 in Friday's 8-3 loss to the White Sox.

Miller was activated off the injured list Friday and resumed his role as a starter against right-handers. The White Sox are throwing righties Saturday and Sunday, so Miller could slot in at left field or third base.

Reyes (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment Tuesday with Triple-A Columbus, Tom Withers of the Associated Press reports.

Reyes has been out since May 25 with right hamstring tightness. He resumed batting practice Wednesday, and he'll likely get in a couple workouts with the Guardians before heading out on his rehab assignment. It's unclear how many games he'll need at Columbus before he's ready to rejoin the big-league roster.

Winker went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Red Sox.

Winker tied the game at 2-2 in the fifth inning, with his homer ending Red Sox starter Rich Hill's night. This was the first time Winker has hit safely in consecutive games since May 19 and 20. The outfielder has a .209/.313/.308 slash line with four homers, 24 RBI, 18 runs scored and nine doubles through 57 contests overall. Despite the lackluster numbers, he appears locked in as the Mariners' main leadoff hitter.

Martinez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Friday's 4-3 win over the Mariners.

Martinez went yard in the third inning off Mariners starter Marco Gonzales. In the seventh, Martinez hit into a double play that yielded the Red Sox's last run, though he's not credited with an RBI on that play. He's been solid in June, going 9-for-32 (.281) in his last eight games. The 34-year-old's homer Friday was his first since May 17 and his sixth of the year. He's added a .349/.415/.552 slash line, 24 RBI, 34 runs scored and 21 doubles through 49 contests.

Manager Scott Servais said Friday that Lewis (concussion) hasn't yet resumed baseball activities, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

Lewis has been working on his conditioning by riding a stationary bike recently, but he hasn't yet been cleared to ramp up his workload. Since Lewis has been sidelined for nearly two weeks due to his concussion, he'll require a rehab assignment before he's ultimately cleared to rejoin the Mariners.
