Soler (oblique) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Monday.

Soler will wind up missing around two weeks with a strained right oblique. He was hitting a respectable .235/.331/.456 prior to the injury, though that's not in the same ballpark as the .265/.354/.569 line he managed in his breakout 2019 campaign. Kelvin Gutierrez was optioned in a corresponding move.

Reyes went 0-for-1 with three walks and a run scored Sunday in the Indians' 7-4 win over the Tigers.

While Reyes has shown a discerning eye at the plate in September (15.7 percent walk rate), his lack of production in the power department of late has been disappointing for fantasy managers. He's failed to hit a home run in three weeks while submitting a lowly .190/.314/.224 slash line over the Indians' last 17 games. The extended drought hasn't prompted manager Terry Francona to rest Reyes more regularly or push him down the batting order; he'll make a 44th straight start as Cleveland's designated hitter Monday against the White Sox while batting fifth.

Cabrera went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 7-4 loss to Cleveland.

Cabrera went deep in the seventh inning with a runner on for his seventh home run of the season, and he upped his RBI total to 25. The 37-year-old has seen his production taper off in his 16th MLB season -- his .692 OPS would be a new career low -- but he's still capable of popping for a good game here and there.

Buxton is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.

Buxton will be receiving a routine maintenance day after starting each of the past six games, during which he went 9-for-24 with four home runs, six RBI, five runs, a double and a walk. Jake Cave will spell Buxton in center field and will bat eighth.

Torrens is not in the lineup Sunday against San Diego.

Torrens started the previous four games but will receive the day off for the series finale. Joseph Odom takes over behind the plate, batting ninth.

Solak is not in the lineup Sunday against the Angels.

Solak will head to the bench Sunday after starting the past 48 games and posting a .253/.310/.337 slash line in 178 at-bats. Willie Calhoun starts in left field while Derek Dietrich serves as the designated hitter Sunday.

Torrens went 2-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Padres.

Torrens' two-run double in the third inning staked Seattle pitcher Justus Sheffield to a 3-1 lead, which was all the run support the southpaw would need in his quality start. Since being acquired from San Diego in a seven-player deal Aug. 30, Torrens has taken over as Seattle's top catcher and has impressed in regular playing time, slashing .293/.370/.463 in 12 games with his new team.

Cabrera (illness) is back in the lineup for Sunday's game against Cleveland.

The Tigers scratched Cabrera from Saturday's lineup with a non-COVID-related illness, but he appeared off the bench in that game and is feeling well enough to return to the starting nine against Carlos Carrasco and company. Cabrera is under contract for several more years, but he's an afterthought in fantasy at this point as he's not even hitting for the same kind of empty batting average he provided the prior two seasons (.232/.324/.356).

Lewis went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Padres.

Lewis belted his 11th homer of the season in the fifth inning to produce the final run of the game. The 25-year-old outfielder has added 28 RBI, 35 runs scored and three stolen bases while slashing .286/.380/.484 in 51 games.

Solak went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and a run in a 4-3 loss to the Angels on Saturday.

In the first inning, he scored on a Rougned Odor homer after he hit a single. Solak then showed speed in the third to reach on an infield single before stealing second, but he didn't get home that time. The versatile 25-year-old has five steals, two homers, 20 RBI and 23 runs scored in 51 games this season.
