Soler went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a strikeout in a 6-1 triumph over the Diamondbacks on Tuesday.

Batting first, Soler took Arizona starter Luke Weaver deep to right in the fifth inning for his 24th home run of the season. The midseason acquisition has now hit safely in all but two games in September, slashing .274/.312/.493 across 18 contests this month.

Torrens is not starting Tuesday against Oakland.

He'll sit for the second time in three games after going 0-for-4 in Monday's series opener. Mitch Haniger will serve as the DH as Jake Bauers mans right field Tuesday.

Beer will undergo surgery on his dislocated left shoulder Thursday, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

The 25-year-old remains without a specific timeline for his return, though manager Torey Lovullo said the timeline will be measured in "months not weeks." Beer went 4-for-10 with a home run, a double, three RBI and four runs in his first five big-league games before suffering the dislocated shoulder, and it's unclear if he'll be ready for the start of spring training in February.

Vogelbach isn't starting Tuesday's game against St. Louis, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Even though right-hander Jake Woodford is on the mound for the Cardinals on Monday, Vogelbach will be on the bench for the third time in the last four games. Eduardo Escobar will shift to first base while Luis Urias starts at the hot corner.

Rooker is not starting Tuesday against the Cubs.

The outfielder sat out the series finale in Toronto, and now he'll remain out of the lineup for the first of two games at Wrigley Field. Nick Gordon draws the start in left field against right-hander Alec Mills.

Ramirez (shoulder) is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Royals.

Ramirez missed both halves of Monday's twin bill after exiting Sunday with a right shoulder injury. It remains to be seen if he could be available off the bench Tuesday, and he can remain considered day-to-day until Cleveland provides an update. Oscar Mercado draws the start in left field.

Carpenter entered Monday's win over the Brewers as a pinch hitter in the top of the seventh inning, lacing a double and subsequently scoring in his one plate appearance.

Carpenter made a pinch-hit appearance for the third straight game and sixth in the last seven overall. His two-bagger to lead off the seventh was his second double in the last three games, a rare taste of offensive success in a season that's seen the veteran produce an abysmal .175 average and .289 slugging percentage across 232 plate appearances.

Canha, who went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in a loss to the Mariners on Monday, is now hitting just .167 (5-for-30) with a double, two RBI, five walks, two hit-by-pitches and six runs in his last eight games.

It's worth noting Canha has actually struck out at a lesser frequency -- 16.2 percent -- during that sample than his 20.4 percent season figure, with a .208 BABIP over that span partly to blame for his poor numbers. The veteran outfielder has salvaged his OBP during the skid by still drawing walks at an elevated 13.5 percent clip, and he should be able to emerge from his doldrums in short order if he continues to make consistent contact.

Cabrera (back) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the White Sox.

Cabrera's absence from the lineup comes as little surprise after he exited Monday's 4-3 win with back tightness. The Tigers are labeling Cabrera as day-to-day for the time being, so he could have a chance at making it back for Wednesday's series finale.

Cabrera was removed from Monday's game against the White Sox due to back tightness, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Petzold notes that Cabrera's removal from the contest was only precautionary. He'll be considered day-to-day until further notice.
