Canha went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, a sac fly and a walk in Sunday's 10-3 loss to the White Sox.

Canha brought in Matt Olson with the sac fly in the second before drilling a shot off Carlos Rodon in the fifth. The California native is slashing .253/.325/.468 with 27 RBI and 21 extra-base hits in 190 at-bats.

Buxton (toe) could rejoin the Twins on Tuesday, Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

The Twins are keeping this one close to the vest, as manager Paul Molitor wouldn't say whether Buxton could be an option to rejoin the active roster after outfielder Ryan LaMarre was optioned to Triple-A Rochester following Sunday's game. Unfortunately the Twins have an off-day Monday, so fantasy owners may not know for sure if Buxton will be back until after lineups lock in certain formats. Rochester, where Buxton is rehabbing, plays a doubleheader at Syracuse on Monday. Buxton is hitting just .167/.250/.333 with one home run, two steals and seven strikeouts in 18 at-bats so far during his rehab assignment.

Ozuna went 1-for-2 with two walks and a run in a win over the Brewers on Saturday.

Ozuna and Yadier Molina essentially served as the Cardinals offense on a day when only one other Cardinal, Yairo Munoz, managed so much as a single. The productive afternoon was simply an extension of what has been a stellar month of June for Ozuna, one that's seen him slash .329/.376/.620 with 26 hits overall, including seven home runs.

Turner is not starting Sunday against the Mets, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

Turner has struggled since returning from a fractured wrist in mid-May, hitting .236/.322/.349 on the season, with just two home runs in 30 games. He certainly wouldn't be the first player to feel the lingering effects of a wrist injury even after returning to the field. Max Muncy will start at third base Sunday.

Winker will take a seat against southpaw Mike Montgomery and the Cubs on Sunday, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic Cincinnati reports.

Winker is hitting a respectable .260/.375/.365 with four homers in 66 games, making him a fairly valuable hitter in OBP leagues and an unremarkable one everywhere else. Adam Duvall will get the start in left field Sunday, with Scott Schebler returning from the bereavement list to play right field.

Miller was recalled from Triple-A Colorado Springs on Saturday.

Miller will immediately step in and provide a boost to the Brewers' middle infield, as he's set to start at second base and bat sixth in the order for Saturday's game against St. Louis. Look for him to see a decent amount of time in the lineup all around the infield, especially with Orlando Arcia continuing to struggle at the plate.

McCutchen went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 6-2 loss to the Padres.

McCutchen was able to successfully nab his sixth stolen base of the season after getting thrown out on his previous two steal attempts. The 31-year-old has been heating up along with the weather, slashing .301/.326/.566 with five homers, 14 RBI and two steals over 21 games in June.

Martinez went 4-for-5 with two doubles, a home run, three runs scored and five RBI in Friday's 14-10 win over the Mariners.

He now has 23 homers on the year, including five in June to go along with a .343 (24-for-70) batting average through 19 games on the month. As expected, Martinez is thriving in the heart of a Red Sox offense that is among the most dangerous in the league, and the 30-year-old only needs to stay healthy to top last year's career-high 45 home runs and 104 RBI.

Belt is out of the lineup against San Diego on Friday, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Belt will retreat to the bench following six straight starts. In his place, Buster Posey will man first base while Nick Hundley gets the start behind the plate.

Winker went 1-for-2 with a grand slam and a walk in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Cubs.

The 24-year-old rookie has three home runs in June after hitting just one through the end of May. Winker is slashing .256/.367/.365 in 203 at-bats this season with 34 walks and 34 strikeouts. That type of plate discipline for a young hitter is a terrific trait to have.
