Turner (ankle), who is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants, had his one-game suspension withdrawn following a successful appeal, Pedro Moura of The Athletic reports.

The suspension stemmed from Turner making contact with an umpire back in a Aug. 27 game against the Rockies, but Major League Baseball apparently ruled that his actions didn't warrant any further punishment beyond an undisclosed fine. While the Dodgers revealed Sunday that Turner was tending to a sore ankle, the veteran at least received some good news heading into the upcoming week. Following an off day Monday, Los Angeles expects to have Turner back in the lineup Tuesday, when the team begins a two-game set in Baltimore.

Turner is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants due to a sore ankle, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

Turner's absence from the starting nine in the series finale was initially believed to be the result of a maintenance day, but the Dodgers later relayed that an injury was behind his move to the bench. Fortunately for the veteran third baseman and fantasy managers alike, the ankle issue is only viewed as a minor concern. After a team off day Monday, the Dodgers expect Turner to rejoin the lineup at either third base or designated hitter Tuesday in Baltimore.

Turner is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

Turner's absence looks to be little more than a routine off day for the veteran, who had started nine of the Dodgers' past 10 games. Matt Beaty will step in for Turner at third base in the series finale.

Belt is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Belt will sit for the second time in the three-game series with the Dodgers bringing a southpaw (Julio Urias) to the hill for the finale. With Belt on the bench, Austin Slater will pick up the start at first base.

Cabrera is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.

Cabrera has a seven-game hit streak in which he is 12-for-26 with one double and one home run, but he'll receive a breather in the series finale. Jeimer Candelario will serve as the designated hitter while John Hicks (illness) starts at first base.

Buxton (shoulder) is away from the team Sunday to visit a doctor, Brandon Warne of ZoneCoverage.com reports.

Buxton has been back with the team since the start of September but has only been available for running and defense. The Sunday visit was previously scheduled and doesn't indicate a setback. His timeline for returning as a hitter should become clearer once he hears from doctors.

Brantley is not in the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Mariners, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Brantley will head to the bench after starting the last six games and going 3-for-26 with one home run and four RBI in that stretch. Kyle Tucker will start in left field and bat sixth Sunday.

Harper (hand) remains on the bench Sunday against the Mets.

Harper will sit for the second straight game after getting struck in his right hand by a pitch Friday. It doesn't appear as though he'll miss too much more time, though, as he has a chance to be available as a pinch hitter Sunday, Matt Breen of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. Adam Haseley will start in right field in his absence.

Lewis is 7-for-14 with two doubles, a solo home run and a walk over the first four games of Double-A Arkansas' playoff series against Tulsa.

The promising outfielder is building plenty of momentum for a likely promotion to the big leagues once the Travelers' postseason run concludes. Lewis finished his first full regular season at the Double-A level with a .263/.342/.398 line over 517 plate appearances, generating career highs in extra-base hits (38) and RBI (62) in the process.

Ohtani went 3-for-5 with a home run, a double, five RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's win over the White Sox.

Ohtani got the Angels on the board with a two-run double in the first inning and drove in three more with a homer to left field in the third. The five runs batted in established a career high and the long ball was his first since Aug. 18. The 25-year-old has experienced a dip in power this season but has remained productive at the plate, slashing .293/.349/.512 with 17 homers and 60 RBI in 409 plate appearances.
