Buxton is hitting sixth in Sunday's lineup against the Mets, the LaVelle Neal III of the Star Tribune reports. He went 2-for-5 with his seventh home run in Saturday's extra-inning loss.

Buxton continues his hot September with his sixth home run of the month. He's hitting .333 with a 1.141 OPS in' September. He's hit ninth most of the year, so his move up the order shows the Twins may have confidence he's finally turned the corner in the majors after struggling before September.

Vogelbach didn't start Saturday even though a right-hander was on the mound because the Mariners don't want to "overexpose" him, the Seattle Times reports.

With Adam Lind out (finger), Vogelbach figured to start, but instead Dae-Ho Lee started at first. Vogelbach, who was called up last week, struck out three times Friday. He has one hit in 10 at-bats with five strikeouts and no walks. He'll likely go to spring training next season competing for a platoon job at first base.

Cabrera went 2-for-3 with a double and a walk in Saturday's 1-0 loss to the Indians.

The perennial All-Star was the only Tigers hitter to notch multiple hits, as eight Indians relievers teamed up to neutralize the lineup after Carlos Carrasco was forced from the game with a hand injury after just two pitches. Cabrera now has four multihit efforts and five home runs in September.

Ramirez, who was acquired from the Pirates on Aug. 1, hit .311/.360/.407 with 50 RBI and 60 runs over 99 games in the Double-A Eastern League.

Ramirez was part of the deal that included pitcher Francisco Liriano. The Jays' No. 9 prospect played in only one game for the organization before injuring his knee and finishing the year on the DL. Ramirez's .311 average and seven triples both ranked fifth in the Eastern League this season. Although the 22-year-old has speed, Ramirez will need to improve his baserunning skills, as he was just 7-for-17 in stolen base attempts. Overall, the Columbian native has the tools to one day become a big league outfielder, and he's expected to be in the mix when spring training rolls around next year.

Colon went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer in Thursday's 14-5 loss to the A's.

Colon connected for his first career home run in the bottom of the ninth as part of a five-run inning for Kansas City, but it was too little, too late in terms of the score. It took Colon 322 plate appearances over three seasons to go deep for the first time, but he made it count by doing it with two men on base. Since debuting at .333/.375/.489 in 2014, Colon has seen all three slash stats decrease as his playing time has increased. Even after Thursday's homer, he's still batting just .234 with a .585 OPS.

Vargas went 3-for-5 with his seventh home run in Tuesday's win over Detroit.

With both Miguel Sano and Joe Mauer ailing with injuries, Vargas could get regular playing time the next week or more.

Vogelbach is in the lineup Tuesday against the Angels.

With Adam Lind dealing with a sprained finger, Vogelbach will start the first game of his major-league career. It's unclear how much Vogelbach will play until Lind returns, but he's proven that he's capable of hitting for power at the Triple-A level this season. For the year, he posted a .505 slugging percentage while hitting 23 home runs and 96 RBI.

Vogelbach was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma on Monday.

Now that the season is over for the Mariners' Triple-A affiliate, Vogelbach has the green light to make his major league debut. The top prospect mashed in his first season at the level, totaling 23 home runs, 25 doubles and 96 RBI between the Cubs and Mariners organizations, so he could provide some nice power numbers down the stretch if he's given the opportunity to face big league pitchers.

Miller went 1-for-4 with a solo homer in Sunday's 4-2 victory over the Yankees.

The power-hitting infielder went deep against Luis Cessa in the sixth, the second of two homers in the inning for the Rays. Miller had gone 0-for-14 in his prior three games, so the long ball was certainly a welcome sight. While he's generated a paltry .111/.158/.278 line to date in September, his 27 homers and 70 RBI are by far career bests.

Goins went 1-for-4 with three strikeouts in Sunday's loss to the Red Sox.

Goins' sixth-inning single was his first hit since being recalled at the beginning of the month. To say this season has been a disappointment for the 28-year-old would be an understatement. With Devon Travis beginning the season on the DL, Goins was slated for an everyday role to begin the year. After hitting just .173 over 75 at-bats in April, Goins began ceding opportunities to Darwin Barney and eventually was faded out of the game plan once Travis returned. Goins landed on the DL in early June, essentially ending his days on the team's 25-man roster. After having a career-best season in 2015, the second baseman will look to forget his 2016 campaign and begin anew in the winter.
