MLB Player News

Harper left Sunday's game against the Blue Jays with a potential injury, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Harper appeared to be uncomfortable while he was playing the field in the top of the seventh inning, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports. He then said something to manager Joe Girardi after his at-bat in the seventh inning prior to heading back to the clubhouse. He was replaced by Phil Gosselin in right field to begin the eighth inning. It's unclear exactly what issue Harper may be dealing with.

Cabrera went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 7-4 loss to Cleveland.

Cabrera went deep in the seventh inning with a runner on for his seventh home run of the season, and he upped his RBI total to 25. The 37-year-old has seen his production taper off in his 16th MLB season -- his .692 OPS would be a new career low -- but he's still capable of popping for a good game here and there.

Buxton is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.

Buxton will be receiving a routine maintenance day after starting each of the past six games, during which he went 9-for-24 with four home runs, six RBI, five runs, a double and a walk. Jake Cave will spell Buxton in center field and will bat eighth.

Torrens is not in the lineup Sunday against San Diego.

Torrens started the previous four games but will receive the day off for the series finale. Joseph Odom takes over behind the plate, batting ninth.

Solak is not in the lineup Sunday against the Angels.

Solak will head to the bench Sunday after starting the past 48 games and posting a .253/.310/.337 slash line in 178 at-bats. Willie Calhoun starts in left field while Derek Dietrich serves as the designated hitter Sunday.

Pederson (personal) took some at-bats against Walker Buehler (finger) in a simulated game Saturday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

The Dodgers placed Pederson on the family medical emergency list Wednesday, but he's since reported back to the team. Expect the Dodgers to officially activate him ahead of Tuesday's series opener versus the Athletics.

Torrens went 2-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Padres.

Torrens' two-run double in the third inning staked Seattle pitcher Justus Sheffield to a 3-1 lead, which was all the run support the southpaw would need in his quality start. Since being acquired from San Diego in a seven-player deal Aug. 30, Torrens has taken over as Seattle's top catcher and has impressed in regular playing time, slashing .293/.370/.463 in 12 games with his new team.

Cabrera (illness) is back in the lineup for Sunday's game against Cleveland.

The Tigers scratched Cabrera from Saturday's lineup with a non-COVID-related illness, but he appeared off the bench in that game and is feeling well enough to return to the starting nine against Carlos Carrasco and company. Cabrera is under contract for several more years, but he's an afterthought in fantasy at this point as he's not even hitting for the same kind of empty batting average he provided the prior two seasons (.232/.324/.356).

Lewis went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Padres.

Lewis belted his 11th homer of the season in the fifth inning to produce the final run of the game. The 25-year-old outfielder has added 28 RBI, 35 runs scored and three stolen bases while slashing .286/.380/.484 in 51 games.

Solak went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and a run in a 4-3 loss to the Angels on Saturday.

In the first inning, he scored on a Rougned Odor homer after he hit a single. Solak then showed speed in the third to reach on an infield single before stealing second, but he didn't get home that time. The versatile 25-year-old has five steals, two homers, 20 RBI and 23 runs scored in 51 games this season.
