Jimenez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.

Jimenez is 2-for-16 over his past five games and will take a seat for Sunday's series finale in San Diego. Jose Abreu will serve as the designated hitter while Andrew Vaughn receives a start at first base.

Morel is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.

Morel started the past five games and will receive a day off after he went 4-for-14 with two home runs, a double and five RBI during that span. Nelson Velazquez will man center field and bat ninth Sunday.

Carpenter (foot) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Sunday, meaning he won't be activated before the end of the regular season.

He could still possibly return in the postseason if the Yankees make a deep run. Carpenter could get at-bats in Somerset in the meantime, though he is still walking around with a limp, per Chris Kirschner of The Athletic.

Stanton is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Stanton went 2-for-4 and launched his 29th home run of the season in Saturday's contest, and he'll take a seat for the series finale. Aaron Judge will rest his legs as the designated hitter Sunday while Aaron Hicks starts in the outfield.

Stanton went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's victory over the Orioles.

Stanton crushed a 447-foot homer to left field with two outs in the first inning to extend the Yankees' early lead and later added a single in the fifth. The outfielder had gone hitless in his last three games while striking out nine times over that span. Stanton will now look to build off the two-hit effort after hitting just .143 in September.

Meneses went 3-for-4 with a home run, a double and four RBI in a 13-4 win over the Phillies in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader. He also scored four runs and drew a walk.

Meneses had himself a day at the plate on Saturday, beginning with a three-run double with two outs in the second inning to put the Nationals up 4-1. He followed that up with a homer to lead off the fifth - his seventh long ball since the start of September, to go along with 22 RBI and 17 runs scored. It was also the rookie first baseman's 11th multi-hit game in that 27-game span.

Cabrera will return for the 2023 season, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Cabrera will turn 40 in April and has been a below-average hitter in four of the last six seasons, but he has 32 million reasons to return next year. The 2023 season will be the final guaranteed year of the eight-year, $248 million extension Cabrera signed prior to the 2014 season. His contract contains vesting options for 2024 and 2025, but it would take a top-10 MVP finish for those years to vest. Cabrera has been about as far from MVP level as possible this season, hitting just .251/.299/.315 while exclusively serving as the designated hitter.

Turner (lower leg) won't start Saturday against the Rockies, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Turner was initially listed as the Dodgers' starting third baseman Saturday, but the team will ultimately hold him out for a fourth consecutive game as a precautionary measure. However, manager Dave Roberts hopes that the 37-year-old will be back in action for Sunday's matchup.

Ohtani and the Angels agreed to a one-year, $30 million deal Saturday, avoiding arbitration for next season.

The 2023 season will be Ohtani's final year before free agency, and he'll make the largest ever amount for an arbitration-eligible player. He'll take that record from Mookie Betts, who received $27 million in 2020. He'll also set the record for the largest raise in arbitration, as he made $5.5 million this season. His $24.5 million raise smashes the previous record of $9.6 million set by Jacob deGrom.

Turner (lower leg) is starting Saturday against the Rockies, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Turner missed the last three games due to a lower-leg injury, but he'll start at third base and bat cleanup Saturday. Over his last seven matchups, he's hit .240 with a run, two walks and five strikeouts.
