Jimenez was removed from Tuesday's loss to the Orioles after being hit by a pitch on his left elbow, LaMond Pope of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Jimenez went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run and two walks and had a chance to add to that production in the eighth inning with two outs and runners on the corners, but he was struck in the elbow by a 102-mph fastball and was replaced by a pinch runner. The 25-year-old was hit on the elbow pad but still appeared to be in significant pain, and he should be considered day-to-day heading into Wednesday's contest.

Turner is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game versus Milwaukee.

Turner is 6-for-16 with a home run, four RBI, two runs and two stolen bases over the past four games and will receive Tuesday off. Trayce Thompson will bat ninth as the designated hitter against Brewers righty Corbin Burnes.

Madris is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against Atlanta.

The lefty-hitting Madris will head to the bench with southpaw Max Fried on the bump for Atlanta. Platoon mate Michael Chavis steps in for Madris at first base.

Miller is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Rockies.

Even with the Rangers facing a righty (German Marquez), Miller will head to the bench in favor of Bubba Thompson. Miller is hitting .226 with zero home runs in 31 at-bats this month.

Buxton was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a low-grade right hip strain, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Buxton's hip injury was already serious enough to warrant an MRI, and the fact that he didn't travel with the team to Houston suggested a stint on the IL was on tap. Gilberto Celestino and Jake Cave could see extra playing time while Buxton is out.

Belt was removed from the lineup for Tuesday's game in Detroit after experiencing a flareup of a knee injury, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

The Giants don't view the knee issue as a major concern, and Belt will be considered day-to-day for the time being. With Belt on the bench Tuesday, Wilmer Flores will cover first base and Thairo Estrada will enter the starting nine to play second base.

Choi is not in the starting lineup Tuesday versus the Angels, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Choi will sit for the fourth straight game as the Rays take on the Angels and left-hander Jose Suarez. Harold Ramirez will start at first base and bat fourth Tuesday.

Ohtani (illness) will serve as the Angels' designated hitter and No. 3 batter in Tuesday's game against the Rays.

Ohtani was withheld from the starting nine in Monday's 2-1 loss after he exited early in his start during Sunday's 4-0 loss to the Tigers due to a stomach bug, but the two-way superstar looks like he'll made a full recovery from the ailment. According to Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register, Ohtani has already been cleared to make his next start as a pitcher Saturday in Toronto, so he should serve as the Angels' DH for the next four games unless interim manager Phil Nevin elects to give him a breather.

Vogelbach went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's loss to the Yankees.

He supplied the only offense for the Mets on the night, taking Domingo German deep in the seventh inning. Vogelbach has solidified the DH spot for his new club, slashing .284/.418/.541 through 26 games since being traded from the Pirates with four of his 16 homers on the season and 15 of his 49 RBI.

Buxton will get an MRI on his sore right hip and won't play Tuesday in Houston, Patrick Borzi of MinnPost.com reports.

Buxton was removed from Monday's 2-1 loss to the Rangers due to the sore hip, an injury he's been nursing for awhile. The 28-year-old could be dealing with more than a day-to-day injury, but the Twins aren't likely to provide a clear update on his outlook until the results of the MRI are available.
