Miller is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Angels.

Miller has started four of six games this season and will take a seat with southpaw Reid Detmers pitching for the Halos. Charlie Culberson will receive the start in left field Friday, batting eighth.

Buxton was diagnosed with right knee soreness after leaving Friday's game at Boston, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

Buxton suffered the injury while sliding into second base on a double during the first inning, and he was able to leave the field under his own power. The 28-year-old continues to be evaluated, and the Twins could provide additional updates following Friday's contest.

Jimenez (ankle) is starting in left field and batting fifth Friday against the Mariners.

Jimenez sat out Thursday's contest after fouling a pitch off his left ankle Wednesday, but he was available as a pinch hitter and is now back in the lineup. The 25-year-old is 4-for-17 with a home run, seven RBI and two runs scored through five games this season.

Buxton exited Friday's game against the Red Sox with an apparent injury, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

The 28-year-old led off the game with a shallow pop fly that the Red Sox mishandled, and he appeared to injure himself while sliding into second base with a double. He walked off the field under his own power and the specifics of the issue remain unclear, but any injury is a significant development for Buxton given his problems staying healthy throughout his career.

Canha (illness) was placed on the COVID-19 injured list Friday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Canha tested positive for COVID-19 on Friday as part of an outbreak in the team's clubhouse. He's asymptomatic and will be able to rejoin the team as soon as he tests negative. Nick Plummer and Matt Reynolds were recalled to provide depth while Canha and Brandon Nimmo (illness) are unavailable.

Canha has tested positive for COVID-19, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

Canha isn't starting Friday's game against the Diamondbacks and will need to isolate from the team following his positive test. He's not experiencing symptoms, but it's not yet clear when he'll be able to return. Dominic Smith and J.D. Davis should see an uptick in playing time while Canha is unavailable.

Canha isn't starting Friday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Canha had started in each of the last four games, and he went 4-for-15 with two RBI, a walk and five strikeouts during that time. The Mets reportedly have some close contacts after a staff member tested positive for COVID-19, but it's not yet clear whether Canha falls under that category. Jeff McNeil will shift to left field while J.D. Davis enters the lineup as the designated hitter.

Harper went 1-for-4 with a double and three RBI on Thursday against the Marlins.

Harper drove in his first run in the opening frame with a sacrifice fly. However, he did the majority of his damage in the seventh inning by doubling in two runners. Harper has yet to record a multi-hit performance this season, though he does have three extra-base hits and five RBI across seven starts.

Vogelbach went 4-for-6 with a home run, a double, three runs scored and two RBI on Thursday against the Nationals.

Vogelbach's strong performance began with a leadoff home run in the bottom of the first inning. After tallying his first long ball of the season, Vogelbach got on base three additional times, highlighted by an RBI single in the seventh frame. Though he has been out of the lineup against most lefties, Vogelbach is the regular leadoff hitter in Pittsburgh against righties and has collected seven hits across 18 plate appearances early in the campaign.

Cabrera went 3-for-4 with a run scored in a 4-2 win Thursday in Kansas City.

Cabrera singled in his first three plate appearances, and he's now just six hits shy of 3,000 for his career. The veteran slugger has yet to hit for much power this year with only one extra-base hit in the first seven games, but he continues to bat fifth as the designated hitter for the Tigers. There's a decent chance Cabrera will reach the historic milestone during next week's homestand.
