Dickerson underwent postgame X-rays on his right elbow after he was struck by a pitch in the ninth inning of Monday's 7-2 loss to the Rockies, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

The X-rays returned negative, so Dickerson looks like he'll be good to go for Tuesday's game. However, with a lefty (Kyle Freeland) on the bump for Colorado, the lefty-hitting Dickerson could be a candidate to get the night off. Dickerson was making his return from the paternity list Monday and was the Giants' most productive hitter in the loss, reaching base four times while supplying a solo home run and his seventh double of the season.

Stanton isn't in Tuesday's lineup against the Blue Jays.

The Yankees have managed Stanton's workload since he returned from a hamstring injury, and he'll hit the bench once again Tuesday. Aaron Judge will serve as the designated hitter with Clint Frazier starting in right field.

Carpenter went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to the Royals on Monday.

The veteran squared up on a fourth-inning Carlos Hernandez offering and sent it 439 feet into center field. The round tripper accounted for the Cardinals' only run of the night and was Carpenter's first since Sept. 12. Despite Monday's success, it's been another difficult season at the plate for Carpenter, who's still in the midst of a 2-for-26 slump that covers his last nine games and has sunk his season average back down to .188.

Jimenez came up hobbling after beating out an infield single during Monday's 7-4 loss to Cleveland, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Ramirez stayed in the game after some mild discomfort. "He said he felt like he pinched his knee a little bit," manager Rick Renteria said. "He said he was 100 percent fine. Sometimes you can step on the bag and just irritate it a little." The slugging outfielder finished with three hits in four at-bats, including his 14th home run.

Dickerson went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and a double in Monday's 7-2 loss to the Rockies.

After being activated from the paternity list earlier in the day, Dickerson showed off some new-dad power, accounting for half of the Giants' hits in the contest. His biggest was a seventh-inning blast off reliever Carlos Estevez. Dickerson is up to nine homers, 26 RBI, 23 runs scored and a .290/.365/.565 slash line in 45 contests.

Turner will likely play third base Tuesday for the first time since returning from the injured list, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

According to Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, Turner will start at third base in Tuesday's game against Oakland. The veteran has served as the designated hitter during each of his five starts since returning from the injured list Sept. 15, hitting .389 (7-for-18) with three walks over that span.

Brantley went 3-for-4 in Monday's 6-1 loss to the Mariners.

All three of Brantley's hits were singles, and Mariners starter Marco Gonzales did well to prevent the outfielder from getting home each time. In 41 games, Brantley is slashing .311/.373/.490 with four homers, 21 RBI, 21 runs scored and a stolen base.

Solak went 3-for-4 with an RBI and two runs scored Monday against the Angels.

Solak collected an RBI in the third inning, putting his team ahead 3-1. Los Angeles would rally later on, however, coming away with an 8-5 victory. The 25-year-old is slashing .268/.321/.353 with two home runs, 21 RBI and six stolen bases over 52 games this season with Texas.

Choi (hamstring) looked good in a pair of batting practice sessions Sunday and Monday and will participate in live batting practice soon, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Choi has been out for just over one of the 2-to-3 weeks he was expected to miss when he landed on the injured list with a Grade 1 hamstring strain. Unless that initial timeline was inaccurate, he won't be returning before the end of the regular season, but it appears he has a good shot to return for the playoffs.

Miller isn't in Monday's lineup against the Royals.

Miller has been in a slump recently as he's gone 0-for-16 with one run, two walks and eight strikeouts over the last six games. He'll get a breather Monday as Matt Carpenter starts as the designated hitter with Tommy Edman taking over at third base.
