Carlos Correa SS | HOU
Astros' Carlos Correa: Remains out of lineup Saturday
Correa (ankle) remains out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Rays.
Marwin Gonzalez will make another start at short in place of Correa, who is still recovering from a sprained left ankle. Correa is listed as day-to-day, so there is hope he'll be able to avoid a stint on the disabled list, but the Astros won't rush him back into the lineup before his ankle is ready for game action.

White Sox's Tim Anderson: Hits a double in debut
Anderson went 2-for-3 with a double and a run in his MLB debut Friday.
Anderson batted ninth in his first career game, but his double kicked off the White Sox's first scoring rally. Anderson could continue to hit toward the bottom of the order as he gets his feet wet, but it would not be surprising to see him move to the No. 2 spot if he continues to hit.

Red Sox's Xander Bogaerts: Homers in Friday's win
Bogaerts went 4-for-5 with a home run and four RBI in Boston's 8-1 over Minnesota on Friday. The four-hit night raised his average to .349, tops in the American League.
It was David Ortiz night at Target Field as the Red Sox slugger was feted by his former team prior to the game, but Bogaerts was the star during the game. The one question lingering over the young shortstop following his breakout 2015 season was about his power, but Friday's homer, a no-doubter, gives him seven in 252 at-bats and matches his total from last season (613 at-bats).

Mariners' Luis Sardinas: Optioned to Triple-A
The Mariners optioned Sardinas to Triple-A Tacoma on Friday, MLB.com's Greg Johns reports.
Sardinas was removed from the roster to open up a spot for Leonys Martin. He has hit just .190 in 25 games with the Mariners this season, but as a utility player there is a good chance he returns to the big club at some point this summer.

White Sox's Tim Anderson: Hitting ninth in big league debut
Anderson will start at shortstop and hit ninth in his MLB debut Friday night, Bruce Levine of WSCR-AM reports.
Anderson has a bright future and is set to be Chicago's regular shortstop moving forward, but the White Sox will let him get his feet wet with the bat, and use him out of the final spot in the batting order to begin with. Regardless of where he hits though, Anderson figures to be a threat whenever he gets on base.

Astros' Carlos Correa: Not in Friday's lineup
Correa (ankle) is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Rays, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Correa was listed as day-to-day after exiting Thursday's game with his ankle injury, and it turns out the setback will prevent him from taking the field for at least one day. Marwin Gonzalez will get the start at shortstop in Correa's place.

White Sox's Tim Anderson: Called up by White Sox
The White Sox recalled Anderson from Triple-A Charlotte on Friday.
Jimmy Rollins struggled to get much going with the bat while serving as the White Sox's primary shortstop, so the team decided to designate him for assignment and call up Anderson -- their top prospect -- on Friday. Given his pedigree, Anderson figures to serve as the White Sox's primary shortstop moving forward, with Tyler Saladino still working in a backup role. Anderson does not bring a lot to the plate in the power department, but he does own a .301 career minor league batting average and stole 49 bags a year ago, so there are several things to like about his game from a fantasy perspective.

White Sox's Tim Anderson: Will be called up by White Sox
Anderson is set to be called up by the White Sox, Jon Heyman of FanRag Sports reports.
The team has not confirmed Anderson's promotion, but the White Sox have made a number of roster moves of late, and it appears the latest is the addition of their top prospect to the major league roster. If Anderson is indeed called up, he would be an immediate threat to Jimmy Rollins' and Tyler Saladino's playing time at shortstop.

Carlos Correa SS | HOU
Astros' Carlos Correa: Day-to-day with left ankle sprain
Correa was diagnosed with a left ankle sprain Thursday and he is listed as day-to-day, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
The star shortstop exited Thursday's game against the Rangers after awkwardly stepping on the side of first base in the fifth inning. Fortunately, he was able to walk off the field under his own power and according to McTaggart's follow-up, Correa may have avoided an injury that would cause him to miss significant time. His status heading into Friday's series opener in Tampa Bay is in some question at this point, so owners will want to confirm his status in the lineup prior to first pitch. If Correa is held out of Friday's contest, Marwin Gonzalez would likely take over at shortstop.
