Vogelbach is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.

Vogelbach is hitting just .178 this month and .163 against lefties this season, so it doesn't come as much surprise he is being held out Sunday against Orioles starter John Means. Tom Murphy will serve as the Mariners' designated hitter.

Solak went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 12-3 loss to the Athletics.

Solak hit his third homer in his last nine games, an eighth-inning blast off reliever Ryan Buchter. The third baseman has started well in the majors, posting a .306/.409/.520 slash line with five homers, 16 RBI and 19 runs scored across 98 at-bats.

Canha went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, three runs scored and a walk in Saturday's 12-3 win over the Rangers.

Canha was right in the middle of the Athletics' early rallies, scoring on a Ramon Laureano double in the first inning and a Sheldon Neuse single in the second. Canha topped it off with a solo shot in the fifth off Rangers reliever Shawn Kelley. Canha has homered in consecutive games, giving him 26 on the year to go with 59 RBI and 79 runs scored in 121 games.

Turner (ankle) went 0-for-2 in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Rockies.

Turner was initially expected to get three at-bats Saturday, but the Dodgers shuffled their personnel to start the fourth inning and Turner's night was done. Manager Dave Roberts will likely take things carefully with the 34-year-old third baseman to avoid aggravating the injury. Turner is slashing .290/.370/.512 over 541 plate appearances this year.

Miller went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs Saturday against the Indians.

Miller went deep in the fourth and ninth innings to give him eight home runs on the season. He's struggled to get regular at-bats for much of the campaign, though he has now started three consecutive games and collected at least one hit in each. For the season, Miller is hitting just .233/.313/.481 across 71 games.

Harper went 1-for-3 with a walk, a home run and four RBI against the Indians on Saturday.

Harper took Oliver Perez deep in the fifth inning for a three-run homer, his third home run in his last 10 games and 33rd overall this season. While his power production doesn't rank among the elite this season, Harper has still found plenty of areas to contribute, highlighted by 108 RBI and 14 stolen bases in 148 games.

Ozuna went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in a 9-8 victory over the Cubs on Saturday.

Ozuna put the Cardinals in front 7-6 with a seventh-inning home run off Kyle Ryan. The 28-year-old had been slumping, going 6-for-45 with two home runs since Sept. 8. For the season, Ozuna is slashing .243/.325/.483 with 88 RBI in 460 at-bats.

Pederson is not in Saturday's lineup against the Rockies.

Pederson has gotten inconsistent playing time of late due to the string of left-handers they have faced. Southpaw Kyle Freeland (groin) was activated from the injured list prior to Saturday's start, sending Pederson to the bench once again. Chris Taylor will take over in right field and bat fifth.

Turner (ankle) is back in the lineup Saturday against the Rockies.

This is great news, but the reins aren't completely off; manager Dave Roberts said Turner will be limited to three at-bats in his first start since Sept. 7. Turner is expected to start again Sunday but is unlikely to play the whole game, as the Dodgers are looking to get him back up to speed gradually.

Ford went 3-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Saturday's 7-2 win over Blue Jays.

Serving as the first baseman, Ford gave the Yankees a lead they would not relinquish with a fourth-inning RBI single, and he added a sixth-inning double and a second RBI single in the seventh. Despite the productive game, the 27-year-old has a difficult path to playing time with Edwin Encarnacion (oblique) set to return and Luke Voit also available. Nevertheless, Ford is slashing a solid .244/.333/.526 with 11 homers and 21 RBI in just 135 at-bats this season.
