Ramirez (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday.

Ramirez was carted off the field during Saturday's contest due to a strain in his left hamstring. He was just activated the same day from the COVID-19 injured list and has 11 plate appearances this season. Eddy Alvarez was called up to take his roster spot.

Buxton is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.

Jake Cave gets the start in center field, batting seventh. Buxton has gone 4-for-12 (all singles) with two strikeouts in four games since returning from a shoulder injury. Overall, Buxton has a .238/.241/.438 slash line with five homers and one stolen base.

Blackmon went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and an additional run scored in a win over the Dodgers on Saturday.

Blackmon played a part in both runs scored against Dodgers starter Tony Gonsolin, crossing the plate on an error after doubling in the second inning and registering the first home run this season against the right-hander in the fourth. Blackmon's long ball was only his second since Aug. 7. He has cooled down a bit after a scorching start to the season but is still slashing .347/.401/.524 overall.

Martinez went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a pair of walks in Saturday's 9-8 win over the Blue Jays.

Martinez hit the first of three Red Sox homers in the second inning, a solo shot to tie the game at one. The 33-year-old has struggled at the plate this year with a .235/.323/.419 slash line, four homers, 18 RBI and 15 runs scored through 36 games. He's picked up the pace recently, going 9-for-24 (.375) with three RBI and two runs scored in his last six contests.

Ohtani is not in the lineup for Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader with the Astros.

Ohtani was productive in Saturday's opening game, going 1-for-3 with an RBI, a run, a walk and a stolen base, but manager Joe Maddon will not overextend his regular designated hitter, instead opting to use Mike Trout in that spot for the back end of the twin bill.

The Marlins announced that Ramirez left Saturday's game against the Rays with a left hamstring strain.

Ramirez's injury may not sound too serious, but he did need to be carted off the field, so he is in danger of missing more time. Matt Joyce and Lewis Brinson figure to continue sharing right-field duties should that be the case.

Ramirez left Saturday's game against the Rays in the fifth inning after being injured running to first base on a groundball, David Wilson of the Miami Herald reports.

Ramirez returned to action Saturday after missing over a month while recovering from COVID-19, but he could be headed right back to the injured list, as he needed to be carted off the field with his injury.

Soler was removed from Saturday's game against the White Sox after his first at-bat, Josh Vernier of 610 Sports reports.

It's not yet clear why Soler was taken out of Saturday's contest, but it could have been because of the sore back and oblique that cost him a game and part of another earlier this week. Soler was replaced in the game by Ryan McBroom.

Torrens went 0-for-3 with a walk in a win over the Rangers on Friday, a game that marked his Mariners debut.

A trade-deadline arrival, Torrens is slated to serve as the primary catcher for what remains of the regular season. The former Padres prospect was slashing .273/.333./.364 in San Diego before the trade and has shown some offensive upside during his time in the minors. Despite the relatively nondescript batting line, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports Torrens made an impression on manager Scott Servais in the Mariners' skipper's first chance to see him up close. "He's very athletic. He bounced out on a swinging bunt and handled that ball with no problem," Servais said. "I thought his hands were fine. He's catching pitchers he's never caught before, so you're catching a [Yusei] Kikuchi, and his ball is cutting and sinking and doing things like that, I thought he handled himself really good."

Dickerson will sit against lefty Madison Bumgarner and the Diamondbacks on Saturday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Dickerson is hitting .542 with four homers in a stretch of five straight multi-hit games, but even that level of performance isn't enough for him to avoid getting platooned in this one. Darin Ruf starts in left field in his absence.
