Jimenez left Thursday's game against the Indians with right foot soreness and will be further evaluated Friday.

Jimenez appeared to be dealing with some sort of discomfort in his lower body before exiting in the seventh, and it's been confirmed that he was experiencing soreness in his foot. The full extent of the issue should be revealed Friday, but for the time being, the outfielder can be considered day-to-day.

Jimenez was removed from Thursday's game against the Indians due to apparent lower-body discomfort, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

Per Fegan, Jimenez appeared hobbled after running the bases in the top of the seventh. He jogged out to left field in the bottom half of the inning, but the White Sox ultimately decided to replace him with Adam Engel. Given that he seemed to want to stay in the game, the injury doesn't appear to be too serious. More about the extent of the issue should be known after the game.

Soler isn't starting Thursday against the Tigers.

Soler went 1-for-11 with one RBI and four strikeouts in three games since returning from an oblique injury, and he'll get a breather Thursday. Ryan O'Hearn will serve as the designated hitter.

Vogelbach is not in Thursday's lineup against the Cardinals.

He will head to the bench with lefty Kwang Hyun Kim on the hill for St. Louis. Jedd Gyorko will start at first base and bat cleanup.

Choi (hamstring) is scheduled to take live batting practice against Jose Alvarado (shoulder) at Tropicana Field on Thursday, the Associated Press reports.

Choi also took live batting practice Tuesday but didn't do much running, and it remains to be seen if he'll follow the same protocol Thursday. With the Rays now having clinched the AL East on Wednesday, they could opt to continue taking the cautious route with Choi and exclusively focus on getting the infielder ready for the postseason. Juan Toribio of MLB.com also reports Choi will test himself with what manager Kevin Cash described as "right-at-them groundballs" during the session, "just see how [his] hamstrings feel in the position of fielding a groundball and then coming up and making a throw out of that."

Lewis went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored Wednesday in the Mariners' 3-2 win over the Astros.

Lewis crossed home plate in the first to give the Mariners an early 1-0 lead and would later swipe his fourth base of the season in the seventh inning after opening the inning with a single to right. The potential American League Rookie of the Year is hitting .277/.378/.462 with 11 home runs, 28 RBI and 37 runs scored across 230 plate appearances this season.

Winker went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Wednesday's 6-1 win over the Brewers.

At one point the hottest hitter in all of Major League Baseball, Winker has cooled in September, hitting .095 in 42 at-bats around a stretch of missed time due to back tightness. He's fallen in the order against righties as a result, and Winker has also sat against the left two lefties the Reds have faced.

McCutchen went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, two doubles and two additional runs scored during 12-3 win over the Nationals.

The veteran outfielder didn't have any opportunities with runners in scoring position despite the Phillies posting 14 hits, but he set the table as the leadoff man. McCutchen has a .250/.325/.422 slash line with nine homers, 29 runs, 33 RBI and four stolen bases in 54 games

Cabrera went 2-for-5 with a pair of three-run home runs in Wednesday's 7-6 loss to the Twins.

The 37-year-old turned back the clock in this one, supplying all of Detroit's offense on two majestic bombs to left field. This was Cabrera's second game this season with two home runs, and he now has nine total long balls for the year. Four of those home runs have come in the last eight games, so the veteran seems to be finishing his season with a flourish.

Harper went 2-for-2 with two solo home runs, two additional runs scored and three walks during Wednesday's 12-3 win over the Nationals.

The 27-year-old has been battling a back issue recently but was in vintage form Wednesday, hitting a pair of solo homers and being intentionally walked in his other three plate appearances. Harper has a .256/.411/.533 slash line with 13 homers, 40 runs, 30 RBI and eight stolen bases in 55 games this season.
