Canha was removed from Sunday's game against the Blue Jays due to a right wrist sprain, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Canha's wrist injury could be serious enough to send him to the 10-day injured list, but Oakland likely won't make a move until re-evaluating him Monday morning. He hasn't found his groove at the plate through the first month of the season, hitting .216 with two homers and four RBI over 17 games.

Jimenez (ankle) will be re-evaluated in two weeks, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

Jimenez was placed on the injured list Sunday and will not be available to return when his minimum stint is up. Jose Rondon, Adam Engel and Nicky Delmonico are all candidates to see an uptick in playing time in Jimenez's absence.

Manager Brad Ausmus said Ohtani (elbow) will not play during the team's upcoming home series against Toronto, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Ohtani has been increasing his workload, most recently hitting in a simulated game. He is set to get about 40 plate appearances in similar action across the next week, so he is not yet ready to return to the club. The team does play a second series during its upcoming homestand that begins May 4, and Ausmus may have left the door open for Ohtani to return then, depending on how he progresses this week.

Buxton (leg) is in Sunday's lineup against the Orioles.

Buxton was absent from the lineup Saturday after fouling a ball off his leg in Friday's action. However, the injury was not serious, and he has rejoined the lineup, batting ninth in the team's series finale against the Orioles.

Jimenez (ankle) was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday.

Jimenez exited Friday's action against the Tigers early with the injury. Although X-rays were negative he lands on the injured list, retroactive to April 27. Both Adam Engel and Nicky Delmonico could see a bump in playing time in Jimenez's absence.

Martinez (back) is not in the lineup Sunday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Martinez was scratched from Saturday's lineup with back spasms and remains out of the lineup for the series finale against the Rays. Steve Pearce will serve as the designated hitter in his place.

Martinez (back) is questionable for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Martinez was a late scratch Saturday due to back spasms and spent the day getting treatment. It doesn't sound as if he'll miss an extended period, but he could still miss a few more days.

Vogelbach is not in the lineup Saturday against lefty Mike Minor and the Rangers.

Vogelbach has only started against one southpaw this season. Jay Bruce will be the designated hitter in his absence.

Martinez was scratched from the lineup for Saturday's game against the Rays with back spasms, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Martinez is considered day-to-day, per Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic. Steve Pearce enters the lineup as a designated hitter in his absence.

Jimenez (ankle) will have an MRI on Saturday and the White Sox will update his status Sunday morning, Scot Gregor of the Chicago Daily Herald reports.

Saturday's game was postponed, but it doesn't seem like Jimenez would have been ready to return to action in any case. X-rays were negative, and the initial diagnosis was a right ankle sprain. He could wind up needing a stint on the 10-day injured list. The only real knock on Jimenez coming into the season is that he has typically missed double-digit games each season with nagging lower-body injuries.
