Carlos Correa SS | HOU
Twins' Carlos Correa: Won't start Wednesday
Correa (wrist) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets.
After fouling off a pitch during his third plate appearance of the night in the fifth inning of Tuesday's 6-3 win, Correa was seen shaking his left hand in discomfort and was visited on the field by manager Rocco Baldelli and a team trainer. Following a brief conversation, Correa was lifted for a pinch hitter, and the Twins relayed afterward that he was dealing with a sore left wrist. He'll sit out Wednesday's series finale and will undergo an MRI as the Twins look to glean more information regarding the extent of the injury. Willi Castro will fill in for Correa at shortstop Wednesday, opening up a spot in the starting nine at third base for Brooks Lee.

Twins' Carlos Correa: Set for MRI on wrist
Correa, who left Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Mets with a sore left wrist, is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Wednesday, Matthew Leach of MLB.com reports. "The wrist is something I've been working on since spring," Correa said. "Just strengthening it, and I just felt a tweak on the swing and miss and then when I hit the foul ball, I felt pain in the area. It shouldn't be anything too serious."
Correa appears unlikely to play in Wednesday's series finale due to the injury. More information about his status will be known when the MRI results are disclosed, but the fact that his wrist issue dates back to last season is worrisome.

Twins' Carlos Correa: Pulled with wrist injury
Correa was removed from Tuesday's game against the Mets due to left wrist soreness, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Correa was favoring his left hand/wrist after taking a swing in the fifth inning, and he had to leave the game without finishing his at-bat. If the 30-year-old infielder ends up needing to miss any amount of time, Brooks Lee would be next in line for more starts at shortstop.

Jeremy Pena SS | HOU
Astros' Jeremy Pena: Clubs third homer
Pena went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run Monday in a loss to the Cardinals.
Houston was nearly shut out, but Pena helped the team avoid that outcome with a three-run blast in the ninth inning. The long ball was his third of the campaign and his first since April 3. The knock also extended Pena's modest hitting streak to six games, during which he' s batted .304 (7-for-23).

Bobby Witt SS | KC
Royals' Bobby Witt: Goes deep in loss
Witt went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's loss to the Yankees.
Witt opened the game's scoring with a solo blast in the third inning. It was his second home run of the year and first since April 5. Despite the relative lack of power so far, Witt owns a strong .317/.397/.508 slash line with 11 runs scored through 17 games.

Trevor Story SS | BOS
Red Sox's Trevor Story: Swats third homer
Story went 3-for-4 with a home run, a double and three RBI in Sunday's win over the White Sox.
Story opened the game's scoring with a two-run double in the sixth inning and tacked on an insurance run with his solo shot in the ninth. He had just one extra-base hit in eight games since his last home run April 4. The veteran shortstop looks more like his vintage self with a strong .308/.328/.477 slash line through 67 plate appearances.

Tim Anderson 2B | LAA
Angels' Tim Anderson: Hitting bench Sunday
Anderson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.
Anderson will hit the bench after he had made six straight starts at either second base or shortstop while going 2-for-19 with two walks, two runs, one RBI and one stolen base. Kyren Paris will likely hold down the fort at second base while Yoan Moncada (thumb) is on the shelf, and Luis Rengifo will shift to third base, but Anderson could still see consistent playing time at shortstop ahead of Kevin Newman and Nicky Lopez.

Trevor Story SS | BOS
Red Sox's Trevor Story: Steals another base
Story went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the White Sox.
Story is off and running to start the 2025 season and is up to six stolen bases through 16 games. He's stolen at least one bag in three consecutive games. Of course, the Red Sox expect more than a .695 OPS (three extra-base hits) from the veteran shortstop, but the steals are helpful to fantasy managers.
