Buxton left Saturday's game against Seattle after running hard into the center field wall trying to make a catch.

Buxton's head hit the ground after he jumped and hit the wall trying to catch a ball that went for a home run. He suffered a cut above his eye and will likely be evaluated for a concussion.

Ohtani is penciled in to pitch during next week's series in Detroit, Maria Guardado of MLB.com reports.

The two-way phenom was spotted throwing a bullpen session Saturday afternoon, and as Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register notes, Ohtani typically does that four days before a start on the mound. With that in mind, Ohtani seems to be on track to start Wednesday opposite Mike Fiers. The Angels decided to push Ohtani back from Sunday, citing workload concerns. Ohtani is in the lineup as the designated hitter Saturday, batting fifth against the Yankees, and it seems likely that he will DH on Sunday and Monday as well before taking a day to rest.

Canha went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in a loss to the Diamondbacks on Friday.

Canha's 376-foot shot to left in the third inning ended up representing the only run of the night for the Athletics. After a hot start to the season that saw his average as high as .339 on May 2, the outfielder has slashed just .164/.215/.328 over 65 plate appearances since.

Martinez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a 6-2 victory for the Red Sox over the Braves on Friday.

Martinez had just one hit in his last 11 at-bats coming into this contest but he dispatched of the brief lull in short order by launching his 16th home run with a fourth-inning blast off Julio Teheran. He now has a brilliant .326/.381/.653 slash line through 190 at-bats in his inaugural campaign with the Red Sox.

Soler went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 8-4 loss to the Rangers.

It's his sixth homer of the year but his first in 14 games, and Soler hit only .189 (10-for-53) during his power drought. The 26-year-old still boasts a .285/.381/.473 slash line on the season despite the slump, however, and he could be ready to start heating up once again.

Cabrera (hamstring) is scheduled to participate in some running drills Friday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Cabrera is taking another step forward in his recovery process after looking much improved during Tuesday's batting practice. He doesn't appear to have any limitations at the plate, so his last hurdle before returning will likely be to demonstrate that his hamstring can hold up on the basepaths.

Ohtani won't make his next scheduled start Sunday against the Yankees, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Manager Mike Scioscia stated that the Angels are trying to manage Ohtani's workload, and they haven't determined when he'll appear next on the hill. Garrett Richards will make the start Sunday in his place, although Ohtani will be available to hit. The 23-year-old has made seven starts this season and sports a 3.35 ERA with 52 strikeouts over 40.1 innings.

Ohtani went 1-for-4 with a walk and a pair of RBI in Wednesday's 5-4 win over Toronto.

Ohtani's two-run single was a key part of a four-run ninth inning that secured the victory for the Halos. The talented two-way star has delivered in both of his roles, slashing .308/.364/.582 at the plate while posting a 3.35 ERA with an 11.6 K/9 on the mound. The 23-year-old should get another start or two as a hitter before taking the mound Sunday against the Yankees.

Cabrera (hamstring) completed a batting practice session Tuesday and drove a couple balls into the second deck at Target Field, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

While Cabrera hasn't added more baseball activities to his rehab regimen -- he also took batting practice Sunday -- he displayed noteworthy improvement during his round Tuesday. After struggling to finish through his swing Sunday, Cabrera demonstrated no such limitations with his power Tuesday, spraying balls over the fence to all fields. Cabrera will still need to take part in some baserunning without issue before the Tigers have a clearer idea regarding when he'll return from the 10-day disabled list, but his health at least seems to be trending in the right direction.

Miller will take a seat Wednesday against the Red Sox, Steve Carney of Sports Radio 620 WDAE reports.

Miller is on the bench for the second day in a row, as the Rays face another left-handed pitcher in David Price. C.J. Cron will take his place and bat second.
