Lewis was removed from Monday's game with High-A Modesto due to knee soreness, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Though Lewis was forced to exit the game, the team is saying that there is no structural damage to the knee and his removal was simply due to soreness. It sounds like the top prospect won't be sidelined for long, but we'll have to wait for more information to be revealed after he gets reevaluated Tuesday. He'll be listed as day-to-day.

Jimenez (foot) fell a triple shy of the cycle Sunday with High-A Winston-Salem, finishing the day 5-for-6 with two RBI and two runs scored.

Jimenez left Friday's contest prematurely after fouling a ball off his foot, but it doesn't appear to be having any lingering effects on the top prospect. He's now slashing .452/.514/.806 in nine games with his new organization as he continues to raise his already high prospect stock.

Lewis connected on two home runs and drove in four for High-A Modesto in a game Sunday.

The 2016 first-round pick looks to be back to full strength after knee surgery pushed back the start of his season to June 11, as he's racked up two hits in three consecutive games while homering three times in that span. If the outfielder's knee provides no complications over the final few months of the season, Lewis could rise up prospect lists in the offseason and prepare for an assignment to Double-A Arkansas to begin 2018.

Choi was outrighted Sunday to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Choi didn't generate any interest off waivers after he was designated for assignment earlier in the week, so he'll remain in the Yankees organization, though he'll no longer occupy a spot on the 40-man roster. The Yankees decided to keep Garrett Cooper as their backup first baseman over Choi, who went 4-for-15 with two home runs and five RBI during his brief time in the big leagues.

Cabrera (collarbone) is back in the lineup Sunday against the Twins, playing first base and batting fourth, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Cabrera was hit in the chest by a hard grounder in Friday's game, so the Tigers gave him Saturday off. It appears the injury was a minor one, and the former MVP should be good to go heading into the upcoming week. He'll face off against Twins left-hander Adalberto Mejia on Sunday for the first time in his career.

Brantley went 2-for-3 with a double and a walk in Saturday's walkoff win over the Blue Jays.

Brantley's 19th double of the season helped push his batting average back to .300. The outfielder's production has dipped recently, though, as he's hitting .267 in eight games since the All-Star break. On the other hand, Brantley has picked up his activity on the bases, stealing three bags during that stretch after swiping eight in his previous 66 contests.

Jimenez is day-to-day at High-A Winston-Salem with a bruised foot.

He left Friday evening's game after fouling a ball off his foot. Initial X-rays came back negative, so it appears that he won't miss too much time due to this issue, although it wouldn't be too surprising to see the White Sox handle this carefully with such a high-profile prospect like Jimenez. Prior to the injury, he was 9-for-24 with three doubles and a home run in seven games with the Dash.

Buxton (groin) will not go on a rehab assignment before returning to the team, Brandon Warne of ZoneCoverage.com reports.

There were some reports floating around that said that Buxton would go to Triple-A to log some at-bats before making an official return, but the Twins decided it would be too much traveling for a one- or two-game rehab assignment. The young outfielder will instead travel with the team when they head to Los Angeles with the hope of being activated Tuesday, the first day he's eligible to return.

Cabrera (collarbone) is not in the lineup Saturday against the Twins, Shane Jackson of MLB.com reports.

Despite the fact that X-rays on Miggy's collarbone came back negative, the Tigers will hold him out another day to ensure they don't aggravate the injury further. Andrew Romine will log a start at first base in his place.

Miller went 1-for-4 with a solo homer in Friday's 4-3 extra-inning loss to the Rangers.

Miller erased the Rays' early 1-0 deficit with a 437-foot shot to center in the fourth, his fourth round tripper of the season and second since returning from an extended stay on the disabled list due to a groin injury. The slugging infielder has an RBI in each of his last three contests and seven overall in 10 July games.
