Vogelbach is not in the lineup Monday against the Yankees, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Vogelbach is hitting just .131 with a .565 OPS through 18 games this month, so he'll head to the bench for a second straight game as the Mariners stack right-handed hitters against lefty J.A. Happ. In his place, Tom Murphy is starting at DH and hitting fifth.

Soler went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run Sunday in the Royals' 9-8 win over the Indians in 10 innings.

It's probably premature to say that Soler busted out of his cold spell on a day in which he still struck out three times, but he at least brought an end to his 10-game streak without a home run, his longest of the season. The 437-foot blast off Nick Wittgren was Soler's 36th of the campaign, leaving him just two shy of matching Mike Moustakas' franchise record.

Rooker (groin) began a rehab assignment with the Twins' Gulf Coast League affiliate on Monday, Brandon Warne of ZoneCoverage.com reports.

Rooker has been out since mid-July with a right groin contusion. He hit .281/.398/.535 prior to the injury.

Goins entered Sunday's game after Leury Garcia was removed due to a lower leg injury.

Goins pinch ran for Garcia and stayed in the game to play left field. With Eloy Jimenez back in the lineup following a hip injury -- he served as the designated hitter over the weekend -- he should slot in at left field after Monday's off day and move Goins further into a depth role, unless Garcia's injury turns out to be serious.

Ford went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a double and two RBI in Sunday's win over the Dodgers.

Ford did not start but was called upon to take the lineup spot of Didi Gregorius, who exited after being hit by a pitch in the first inning. Ford took full advantage of the opportunity, going deep against Clayton Kershaw in the sixth frame and plating another run with a double off Pedro Baez in the eighth. Despite the productive game, the 27-year-old is likely to lose playing time as soon as Luke Voit (sports hernia) makes his imminent return. Ford is slashing .215/.318/.441 with six homers and 11 RBI in 107 plate appearances this season.

Reyes went 2-for-5 with two home runs and four RBI in a 9-8 loss against the Royals on Sunday.

It looked like it was going to be another poor day for the outfielder, as he entered the eighth inning 0-for-3, but he hit a home run in the eighth and ninth, helping the Indians erase a five-run deficit. Reyes is hitting just .182 since joining the Indians at the end of July, but overall, he's batting .241 with 32 home runs, 60 RBI and 52 runs in 398 at-bats with the Padres and Indians this season.

Canha went 2-for-4 with two solo homers in Sunday's 5-4 loss to San Francisco.

Canha is on a nine-game hitting streak with five homers and 12 RBI during that span. The hot streak has raised his OPS to .936, a huge upgrade from the career-high .778 he posted last season.

Martinez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to San Diego on Sunday.

Martinez drilled a 411-foot shot to left field in the fourth inning to produce the only run of the game for the Red Sox. He also impressed with his arm, throwing out a pair of runners -- one at third base and one at home -- in the loss. The 32-year-old has enjoyed a scorching August, hitting .383 with eight long balls and 20 RBI in 81 at-bats.

Choi went 2-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's loss to the Orioles.

Choi plated a run in the fifth inning on a sacrifice fly to right field, though the Rays would fall 8-3 in the series finale. After going 0-for-10 over his last three contests, Choi was able to build some momentum by collecting a pair of base knocks Sunday.

Stanton (knee) is expected to start hitting on the field during New York's three-game series in Seattle, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.

Stanton has been able to take part in agility work on the field over the last few days, so he'll be cleared to take batting practice with the team sometime during his team's upcoming series. The slugger has been rehabbing from a strained PCL since June 26.
