Tigers' Miguel Cabrera: Sitting out nightcap
Cabrera is out of the lineup for Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Mariners.
Cabrera started Game 1 and went 1-for-3 with a walk. The veteran has confirmed he will return for the 2023 season, though his fantasy appeal has mostly vanished. The former MVP has a .622 OPS this year with just five home runs and 43 RBI.

Marcell Ozuna DH | PIT
Braves' Marcell Ozuna: Riding pine Tuesday
Ozuna is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Marlins, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Giancarlo Stanton DH | NYY
Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton: On bench for first game
Stanton will sit for the first half of Tuesday's doubleheader against Texas.
The Yankees are resting several veterans during the afternoon game, as there's no sense in overworking anybody late in the season with the team locked into the second seed in the American League. Aaron Judge will rest his legs in Stanton's usual designated hitter spot.

Jesse Winker DH | NYM
Mariners' Jesse Winker: Tending to neck issue
Mariners manager Scott Servais said Winker was scratched from the lineup ahead of Monday's 4-3 loss to the Tigers due to a neck issue, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.
The injury looks to be a day-to-day concern, but it could be enough to keep Winker on the bench for both ends of Tuesday's doubleheader with Detroit. Sam Haggerty also departed Monday's game with a groin injury and is also iffy for the twin bill, potentially leaving the Mariners shorthanded in the outfield.
