Miller is not starting Wednesday's game against the White Sox, Tom Withers of the Associated Press reports.

In addition to Miller, fellow lefty hitters Tyler Naquin and Jake Bauers will check out of the starting nine with southpaw Carlos Rodon on the bump for the Pale Hose. Max Moroff will fill in for Miller at second base.

Buxton (back) is out of Wednesday's lineup against the Royals, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

He crashed into the center field wall and suffered a bruised back in Tuesday's game, and manager Rocco Baldelli intimated after the game that they might give Buxton a day or two before evaluating him again. The Twins have a well-timed off day Thursday, so the hope is that a couple days off will be all Buxton needs before returning Friday against the Phillies. Jake Cave is starting in right field while Max Kepler slides over to center field.

Vogelbach went 2-for-3 with a double and a solo home run in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Angels.

Getting the start at DH and hitting eighth, Vogelbach was the surprise hero when he took Luis Garcia deep in the eighth inning for the winning run. Tuesday's hits were his first of the year, but with Edwin Encarnacion dealing with a sore hand, Vogelbach figures to see regular playing time in the short term -- giving him a chance to build on this performance.

Buxton suffered a contusion on his back in Tuesday's win over Kansas City and hopes to play Wednesday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Buxton left Tuesday's game after running into the center field wall trying to make a catch in the eighth inning. It sounds like he avoided a major injury, but he'll likely need a day or two off.

Buxton left Tuesday's game against Kansas City due to a sore back after running into the center field wall trying to make a catch in the eighth inning, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

The move was labeled as precautionary, but any injury is a worry with the oft-injured Buxton. He did finish the inning but didn't come out for the ninth inning.

Vogelbach will serve as the designated hitter and bat eighth against the Angels on Tuesday, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.

Vogelbach was originally set to come off the bench but enters the lineup with Edwin Encarnacion being scratched. The 26-year-old is 0-for-4 with three strikeouts and two walks through his first three games of the season.

Choi is not starting Tuesday against the Rockies, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

Choi's platoon role continues as he heads to the bench with lefty Kyle Freeland on the mound. Yandy Diaz starts at first base.

Stanton (biceps) could return in three weeks, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.

Stanton was placed on the injured list with a biceps strain Monday and will avoid all baseball activities for 10 days. He'll then have to get back in game shape following that shutdown period, so a three-week absence appears to be a reasonable target. Clint Frazier should see regular game time in the near future with Aaron Hicks (back) also out.

Stanton will be shut down from all baseball activities for 10 days due to his strained left biceps, Brendan Kuty of NJ.com reports.

Stanton reportedly suffered the injury while swinging. He'll still need to work his way back after the shutdown period, so the Yankees are currently framing his return date as "sometime this month."

Stanton was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left biceps strain Monday.

It's not clear when Stanton suffered the injury, nor is it clear how long he's expected to be out. He'd managed just two hits through his first three games but had only received eight at-bats, as he walked seven times. Clint Frazier will take his place on the roster.
