  • Max Schuemann 2B | NYY

    Athletics' Max Schuemann: Records fifth steal

    Schuemann went 1-for-3 with two RBI and one stolen base in Friday's 9-4 win over the Diamondbacks.

    Schuemann supplied a sacrifice fly in the fourth inning and an RBI single in the eighth. The 27-year-old has gone 21 games without a multi-hit effort since his 4-for-4 performance in Atlanta on June 1. He was hitting .266 after that game, but he's at .226 now while adding a .630 OPS, three home runs, 15 RBI, 26 runs scored and five steals across 61 contests.

    Twins' Carlos Correa: Homers in Friday's loss

    Correa went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 3-2 extra-inning loss to the Mariners.

    Correa left Thursday's game with a bruised right wrist, but he didn't end up missing time. The homer was his ninth of the season and got him to the 40-RBI mark this year, though it was all the run production the Twins could muster in Friday's game. The shortstop has 12 multi-hit efforts over his last 21 games, going 36-for-83 (.434) in that span. For the year, he's at a .312/.381/.506 slash line across 64 contests.

  • Zach McKinstry 3B | DET

    Tigers' Zach McKinstry: Riding pine Friday

    McKinstry is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Angels.

    McKinstry will yield to Ryan Kreidler at shortstop for the third time in the last four games. McKinstry is 4-for-29 (.138) with 10 strikeouts since June 12.

    Twins' Carlos Correa: Starting Friday

    Correa (wrist) is playing shortstop and batting second Friday against Seattle.

    Correa was removed from Thursday's game after being hit by a pitch, but his bruised right wrist won't force him to miss a start. He went 4-for-9 with four runs and two RBI during this week's series against Arizona.

  • Red Sox's Yoeilin Cespedes: Day-to-day with sore hand

    Cespedes is day-to-day with left hand soreness and is expected to make his debut for Single-A Salem next week, Chris Hatfield of SoxProspects.com reports.

    This explains why Cespedes has not played since getting promoted to Single-A on Tuesday. He slashed .319/.400/.615 with five home runs and an 18.1 percent strikeout rate in 25 games in the Florida Complex League.

  • Red Sox's Yoeilin Cespedes: Bumped to Single-A

    Cespedes was promoted from the Florida Complex League to Single-A Salem on Tuesday.

    He hasn't gotten into a game yet, which is a bit odd, so perhaps he's dealing with something, although there has been no reporting on that front. Cespedes slashed .319/.400/.615 with five home runs and an 18.1 percent strikeout rate in 25 games in the FCL. He split time between second base and shortstop, but considering he's just an average runner now and is listed at 5-foot-8, 181 pounds, it seems likely that he'll end up at the keystone long term.

    Twins' Carlos Correa: Expecting to play Friday

    Correa (wrist) anticipates that he will be in the lineup Friday against the Mariners, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

    Correa was hit in the wrist by a pitch Thursday in the seventh inning and immediately left the game. X-rays came back clean, and he told reporters after the game that he's confident he'll be in the lineup to start the Twins' series against Seattle on Friday. There has not been confirmation from the team the Correa will start.

    Twins' Carlos Correa: X-rays negative

    X-rays on Correa's right forearm/wrist came back negative after he was removed from Thursday's game against the Diamondbacks, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

    Correa immediately made his way into the Twins' clubhouse after getting hit in the arm by a pitch during the seventh inning, but it appears he managed to escape the incident with minimal damage. The team has officially labeled his injury a right wrist contusion, and he is viewed as day-to-day. Should the Twins decide to give the 29-year-old a day or two to heal, Kyle Farmer and Willi Castro would be the next options at shortstop.

    Twins' Carlos Correa: Exits after HBP

    Correa was removed from Thursday's game against the Diamondbacks after taking a pitch off his right forearm, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

    Correa was visibly in a lot of pain after getting hit by a 94-mph sinker during the seventh inning, and he immediately made his way into the Twins' dugout while holding his right arm. The 29-year-old shortstop will certainly undergo imaging to determine the severity of his injury, and Minnesota should have an update in the near future.

  • Brayan Rocchio SS | CLE

    Guardians' Brayan Rocchio: Not in Thursday's lineup

    Rocchio is absent from the lineup for Thursday's contest in Kansas City.

    The Guardians are opting for Gabriel Arias at shortstop in their series opener against the Royals. Rocchio has been one of the lightest-hitting regulars in baseball this season, slashing an anemic .211/.312/.299.
