Jimenez left Sunday's game in the second inning due to an undisclosed injury. He was checked by trainers in the first inning after colliding with the outfield wall while trying to make a catch.

Jimenez left after gesturing that he had a hard time seeing the ball. It's possible that the hard hit and heat on Sunday caused him problems without a significant injury, but he'll also likely be examined for a concussion.

Ramirez is out after testing positive for COVID-19, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.

The Marlins have had a coronavirus outbreak, as Jose Urena, Jorge Alfaro and Garrett Cooper have all tested positive in recent days. Jon Berti is starting in right field and figures to see significant playing time in the short term.

Ramirez is not in Sunday's lineup against the Phillies.

He is 1-for-7 with a run, a walk, two strikeouts and one caught-stealing through two games. Jon Berti will start in right field and bat second. Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports that two starting position players on the Marlins have tested positive for the coronavirus, so Ramirez could be one of the two since he is not in Sunday's lineup.

Stanton went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a double and a walk in Saturday's loss to Washington.

New York's offense couldn't get much going Saturday, but Stanton supplied a highlight-reel homer with a 483-foot blast to left field in the fourth inning. The slugger has gotten off to a fine start with home runs in each of his first two games of the campaign after going deep only three times in 18 contests last season.

McCutchen is not in Sunday's lineup against the Marlins.

He is 0-for-9 with three strikeouts and zero walks through two games. Jay Bruce will start in left field while Neil Walker gets the start at designated hitter.

Vogelbach is not in Sunday's lineup against the Astros.

This comes as a bit of a surprise as the Mariners are facing a righty (Zack Greinke) in the third game of the series. Vogelbach is 0-for-7 with two strikeouts and one walk through two games. Jose Marmolejos will get the start at designated hitter while batting sixth.

Jimenez went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Saturday's 10-3 win over the Twins.

The White Sox offense was held in check over the first four innings but exploded for nine runs in the middle innings. Included in the explosion was Jimenez's first home run of the season. The left fielder, who has extra-base hits in each of the first two games, launched 31 homers in his rookie 2019 season.

Cabrera went 1-for-5 with a two-run homer in the Tigers' 6-4 win over the Reds on Saturday.

Michael Lorenzen left a changeup high in the strike zone on a 3-2 count and Cabrera put the ball in the left-field seats, just inside the foul pole. Cabrera was hitless Opening Day, though he did draw a walk. He's batting third as the everyday DH.

Ozuna went 1-for-4 with a game-tying solo home run in Saturday's 5-3 extra-inning win over the Mets.

Mets closer Edwin Diaz was within one out of protecting a 2-1 lead when Ozuna knocked the game-tying homer into the right-field seats. The 29-year-old Ozuna will likely be a fixture in the heart of the Braves' order due to his powerful bat, but it remains to be seen if he'll serve more as a left fielder or a designated hitter in 2020.

Lewis went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Saturday's 7-2 loss to the Astros.

Lewis went yard in the sixth inning against Astros starter Lance McCullers. The 25-year-old Lewis has homered in both of the Mariners' games this season -- the only problem has been a lack of runners on base when he has done so. The outfielder has also amassed four strikeouts already, which could make him a boom-or-bust option in fantasy.
