Correa is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.

The veteran shortstop went 1-for-2 with a double Saturday in his return from a two-month absence due to plantar fasciitis, and he'll head to the bench Sunday for the early afternoon series finale. Correa didn't play in any rehab games prior to being reinstated from the injured list, so it won't be surprising if the Twins continue to get him regular rest days as he gets back up to speed.

Story went 3-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 7-1 win over the Yankees.

Story, who hit .167 over his first five games since returning from a shoulder injury, may be getting his timing down against MLB pitching. This was his second straight multi-hit effort, and he's gone 5-for-8 including a home run in that span.

Holliday is absent from Sunday's lineup against Detroit.

Livan Soto will start at second base and bat ninth against Tigers right-hander Keider Montero. Since Sept. 1, Holliday has gone 5-for-35 with a 31.6 percent strikeout rate.

Buxton is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.

The 30-year-old started the past two games after missing the past month due to a hip injury, and he'll receive Sunday off after going 2-for-6 with a solo homer, an additional RBI and an additional run scored. Willi Castro is starting in center field Sunday with Buxton on the bench.

Julien is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

Julien will begin Sunday's game in the dugout after going 0-for-7 with three strikeouts over the first two games of the series. Kyle Farmer will start at second base and bat eighth against Cincinnati right-hander Rhett Lowder.

Yoshida went 2-for-4 with a double, three RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 7-1 win over the Yankees.

Yoshida's fourth-inning double plated Boston's first run, then he singled home the last two runs an inning later. It was the second consecutive multi-RBI game for Yoshida, who homered in Friday's game. He's hit safely in five consecutive starts, going 8-for-20 with five extra-base hits and six RBI.

Manager Joe Espada told reporters that Meyers sustained an ankle injury during Saturday's 5-3 win over the Angels, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Meyers rolled his left ankle on the bottom of the outfield wall while making a catch in the ninth inning of Saturday's game, but he did not leave the contest after being checked on by trainers. The severity of the injury is still being evaluated, but it could keep the 28-year-old outfielder out of the lineup for Sunday's series finale. Meyers has gone 3-for-29 with two RBI over his last 10 outings.

Verlander (4-6) picked up the win over the Angels on Saturday, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks over five innings while striking out two.

Verlander actually got off to a rough start, allowing back-to-back walks and an RBI single to open the bottom of the first. However, he would then go on to retire 15 of the next 18 batters he faced before leaving the contest, allowing one more run on an Eric Wagaman double over that stretch. It marked the first win for the veteran right-hander since May 24 against Oakland, and it was only the second time in his last seven starts that he allowed fewer than four runs. Following the win, Verlander still carries a 10.66 ERA over three September outings to go along with an ugly 5:7 K:BB.

Taveras went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 5-4 loss to Seattle.

Taveras responded to the Mariners scoring in the second inning with his 10th homer of the season a half inning later to give Texas a lead. The RBI were the first during the month of September for Taveras, who entered the game batting .143 (3-for-21) over the nine previous contests. His elite defense keeps him employed, but it was easier to put him in a lineup every day when Taveras hit like he did in 2023 (.733 OPS).

Rogers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.

Rogers will get a break for the day game after he caught all nine innings of the Tigers' 4-2 loss Saturday night. Dillon Dingler will check in for Rogers behind the dish.
