Vogelbach went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk en route to four RBI and three runs scored during the Brewers' 18-3 win over the Cardinals on Tuesday.

Vogelbach contributed his first home run in a Brewers uniform. After swatting a home run nearly every 15 at-bats as a Mariner last season, Tuesday marked merely his third through 83 at-bats in 2020. However, since being claimed off waivers on Sept. 3, Vogelbach has 12 hits in eight appearances for Milwaukee, so the change of scenery appears to have suited him.

Turner (hamstring) went 3-for-4 with an RBI single and a run scored in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Padres.

Turner's first game back from an injured-list stint was a big success. He plated Mookie Betts with an RBI single in the first inning. Turner got on base with another single in the third and came around to score on a Cody Bellinger single. The 35-year-old Turner served as the designated hitter Tuesday, but he should take some playing time from Edwin Rios at third base going forward. Turner has two homers, 21 RBI, 18 runs scored and a stolen base in 33 games this season.

Buxton went 2-for-4 with an inside-the-park home run, one RBI and two runs scored Tuesday against the White Sox.

Buxton led off the third inning by scalding a line drive over the head of Luis Robert. Robert went for the catch, but misplayed the ball, in turn allowing Buxton to speed his way around the bases for an inside-the-park home run. Buxton has made things happen at the plate of late, as he now has four home runs in his last seven games, bringing his total to nine on the campaign. Overall, he's hitting .252/.255/.544 with 15 runs scored and 20 RBI across 106 plate appearances.

Cabrera went 2-for-2 with a solo home run and three walks during the Tigers' 6-0 victory over the Royals on Tuesday night.

Cabrera provided the final blow to starter Jakob Junis' night, taking him yard in the third. The 37-year-old has six home runs and 23 RBI thus far, hitting .246 through 167 at-bats.

Carpenter will start at third base and bat seventh Tuesday against the Brewers, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

The 34-year-old was originally absent from Tuesday's lineup against southpaw Brett Anderson, but he'll join the starting nine in place of Kolten Wong (undisclosed). Carpenter is 9-for-34 with an .890 OPS through 14 games in September.

Ohtani isn't in Tuesday's lineup against the Diamondbacks.

Ohtani will take a seat for the third consecutive game, but his absence Tuesday was to be expected with southpaw Madison Bumgarner starting for Arizona. Albert Pujols will serve as the designated hitter in his place.

Carpenter is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Brewers.

Carpenter had gone 6-for-12 at the plate over a four-game stretch before going hitless in both halves of Monday's doubleheader. Tommy Edman moves in to third base in his absence, with Rangel Ravelo starting in right field.

Ford was optioned to the Yankees' alternate training site Tuesday.

Ford was on the major-league roster since the start of the season, but he saw a drop in playing time recently as he was on the bench for each of the last seven games. With Giancarlo Stanton (hamstring) and Gio Urshela (elbow) returning from the 10-day injured list, Ford's services were no longer needed at the big-league level.

Stanton (hamstring) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

Stanton spent just over a month on the injured list while recovering from a hamstring strain, but he took part in several simulated games recently. The 30-year-old could be eased back into a regular role in an attempt to keep him healthy ahead of the playoffs. Stanton played in just 14 games prior to his injury, slashing .293/.453/.585 with three home runs and seven RBI.

Winker (back) returns to the lineup Tuesday against the Pirates, batting sixth as the designated hitter.

Winker had been sidelined since leaving Thursday's game against the Cubs with a tight back. His return should be a boost to the Reds' lineup, as he hit a strong .276/.400/.569 with 10 homers in 150 plate appearances prior to the injury.
