Harper is out of the lineup Sunday against the Red Sox, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Harper is 0-for-16 with 10 strikeouts over the past four games, so he'll receive a day off Sunday to reset. Brad Miller will work in right field during the series finale versus Boston.

Cleveland placed Reyes (abdomen) on the 10-day injured list Sunday, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

Reyes was sent in for an MRI after exiting Saturday's game against the Twins with a left abdominal strain, and while the extent of his injury still isn't known, Cleveland determined the 25-year-old was dealing with more than a day-to-day concern. Cleveland recalled outfield prospect Owen Miller from Triple-A Columbus in a corresponding move, and he could get the opportunity to play on a near-everyday basis while Reyes is on the shelf.

Ohtani went 2-for-4 with a double, triple, RBI and two strikeouts in Saturday's 6-2 loss to Oakland.

Ohtani was stranded on second after a two-out double in the sixth and brought home a run with his eighth-inning triple. His .320 on-base percentage is about average, but a .619 slugging percentage brings his OPS to .939, a mark that places Ohtani among the league leaders.

Canha went 2-for-3 with a double, triple and two runs in Saturday's 6-2 victory over the Angels.

Canha tripled and scored in the first before doubling and scoring in the third. His .381 on-base percentage is among the best in the league, and Canha recorded his ninth HBP, putting him in the league lead.

Blackmon went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run during Saturday's 7-6 win over Arizona.

The 34-year-old went deep for the first time since May 4 when he gave the Rockies a 5-3 lead with his two-run shot during the sixth inning. Blackmon has a .246/.342/.370 slash line with three home runs, 23 RBI and 16 runs through 42 games this season.

Winker went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Brewers.

After slugging three homers Friday, Winker took Brett Anderson deep in the third inning Saturday to give the Reds a brief 2-1 lead. The 27-year-old now has 12 homers through 38 games -- matching his total in 54 contests last year -- and the weekend power display has pushed his slash line to .353/.412/.673.

Ohtani is tentatively scheduled to pitch Friday against the A's, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

The 26-year-old surrendered two runs over 4.2 innings while showing slightly decreased velocity during his start Wednesday, so he'll receive a couple extra days before his next outing. Ohtani should continue to operate as the Halos' regular designated hitter in the meantime.

Reyes was diagnosed with a left abdominal strain after leaving Saturday's game against the Twins, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

The 25-year-old suffered the injury on a swing during the sixth inning after popping a two-run homer earlier in the contest. The severity of the injury remains unclear since he's still undergoing medical imaging, but it wouldn't be a major surprise if Reyes requires a stint on the injured list.

Reyes exited Saturday's game against the Twins with an apparent injury, Ryan Lewis of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

The 25-year-old went 1-for-2 with a two-run homer before suffering the injury when hitting a ball foul during the sixth inning, prompting him to leave in the middle of the at-bat. Reyes should be considered day-to-day until the specifics of the issue are determined.

Stanton (quadriceps) could be activated during the Yankees' upcoming series versus Toronto, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.

The slugger is eligible to return from the injured list Monday, which lines up with the team's first contest of a three-game set starting Tuesday against the Blue Jays. Stanton is reportedly doing well in his recovery, so a minimum IL stay is certainly a possibility. He'll likely resume full-time DH duties upon his return.
