Vogelbach will head to the bench for Tuesday's game against the Astros, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.

With the Astros rolling out southpaw Wade Miley for the second matchup of the series, Vogelback will get the night off. Tim Beckham slots in as the designated hitter and will bat seventh with Vogelbach out of the mix.

Choi isn't starting Tuesday's game against the Tigers, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Choi will head to the bench with a lefty slated to toe the rubber for Detroit. Yandy Diaz draws the start at first base and is batting leadoff in Choi's place.

Cabrera was seen by four different specialists, who ultimately gave him the green light to keep playing, but he'll be held out of the field for the foreseeable future, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Cabrera is batting cleanup Tuesday out of the designated hitter slot, though he'll be considered day-to-day moving forward due to his chronic knee issues, per Woodbery. Season-ending surgery is still a possibility down the road, but the Tigers will allow him to remain in the lineup for now, as long as Cabrera feels healthy enough to play. Niko Goodrum and Brandon Dixon should see more time at first base as a result.

Cabrera (knee) will serve as the designated hitter and bat fourth Tuesday against the Rays, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

Cabrera hasn't seen the field since leaving Friday's matchup with knee soreness, and after undergoing an MRI on Saturday, the Tigers have cleared him to return, though he won't play the field for a while. Expect Detroit to continue to exercise caution with the 36-year-old slugger moving forward in an effort to prevent further injury, especially considering he's dealt with numerous injuries over the last few years.

Winker is not in the lineup Tuesday against lefty Genesis Cabrera and the Cardinals.

Winker hasn't been completely hidden from lefties, but he's started against just seven of the 16 southpaws the Reds have squared off against this season. Jose Peraza will start in left field Tuesday.

Turner (hamstring) went 2-for-4 and scored a run Monday in the Dodgers' 3-1 win over the Diamondbacks.

Just as manager Dave Roberts predicted, Turner was able to rejoin the lineup as the Dodgers' starting third baseman after missing the previous four games with the hamstring injury. While Turner delivered a nice night at the plate and reported no issues with his hamstring coming out of the contest, it's expected that he'll sit out one of the remaining two games of the series Tuesday or Wednesday for maintenance purposes.

McCutchen was diagnosed with a sprained left knee after exiting Monday's 8-2 loss to the Padres and is slated to undergo an MRI on Tuesday, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

The Phillies will await the results of McCutchen's MRI before making any roster moves, but it appears likely that the 32-year-old will require a stay on the 10-day injured list. In addition to manager Gabe Kapler relaying that Triple-A Lehigh Valley outfielder Adam Haseley would join the club in San Diego on Tuesday as a member of the taxi squad, McCutchen was spotted with crutches in the locker room after Monday's game and made an ominous post on his personal Twitter account implying concern about the injury. If McCutchen is in fact shut down, Haseley or the newly acquired Jay Bruce would likely see most of the action in left field, while Jean Segura or Cesar Hernandez could represent the top candidates to replace McCutchen as the Phillies' leadoff hitter.

McCutchen left Monday's game against the Padres after appearing to injure his left knee, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

McCutchen suffered the injury while in a rundown, and he needed assistance just to get off the field. While this doesn't look good for the veteran outfielder, he'll be considered day-to-day until the team reveals the nature of the injury.

Turner will receive a day off either Tuesday or Wednesday this week, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Turner missed four games with a sore hamstring before rejoining the lineup Monday, but manager Dave Roberts said he'll give the third baseman another day off this week to manage his workload. Max Muncy drew the starts at the hot corner when Turner was out, so he figures to be in line to do so once again for whichever game Roberts decides to rest him.

Brantley isn't in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Mariners, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Brantley will head to the bench with lefty Wade LeBlanc set to serve as the primary pitcher Monday evening. Josh Reddick is slated to slot in as the designated hitter and will hit third in Brantley's place.
