MLB Player News

Crawford (leg) is starting Wednesday against the Blue Jays.

Crawford struck his ankle with his bat in Tuesday's loss, but he said after the game that he expected to play Wednesday. He'll officially start at shortstop and bat third during the series finale in Toronto. The 27-year-old has gone 0-for-8 with a strikeout over his last two games.

Arroyo is hitting .288/.375/.528 with six homers and seven steals across 31 games for Single-A Modesto.

The 18-year-old has an active 12-game hitting streak going and is showing uncommon plate discipline for his age with a 10.4 percent walk rate and 19.4 percent strikeout rate. A second-round pick by the Mariners last year, Arroyo is a switch-hitter whose pop and defensive ability should ultimately write his ticket to the big leagues. You can still snag him in a lot of dynasty formats, but that may not be the case for long.

Mateo (shoulder) is starting Wednesday against the Yankees, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Mateo was out of the lineup for the last two games due to chest and shoulder contusions, but he'll start at shortstop and bat seventh Wednesday. Over his last five games, he's gone 4-for-17 with a homer, a double, two runs and a stolen base.

Martinez is hitting .231/.303/.574 with 11 homers and a 6:37 BB:K across 29 games for Double-A New Hampshire.

He's done exactly one thing well this year, and that's hitting the ball over the fence. In fact, he's homered in three of the Fisher Cats' last four games -- and he even drew two walks Tuesday, representing a full third of his season total (of course, he also struck out three times in that game.). There's some bad BABIP luck (.233) at play here, but a 31.1 percent strikeout rate and 5.3 percent walk rate don't lend themselves to a good batting average. The good news is that Martinez, just 20 years old, is one of the youngest players in Double-A. Managers in dynasty formats would do well to stay patient with him.

Allen was recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Allen was sent down in early May, but he'll rejoin the major-league club after spending just over two weeks in Las Vegas. He's appeared in eight games for the Athletics this year and has hit .211 with two doubles, two runs and a stolen base. The 23-year-old should serve as infield depth now that he's back in the big leagues.

The Twins reinstated Correa (finger) from the 10-day injured list Wednesday.

Correa sustained a finger injury May 5, and although he avoided a fracture, he still sat out nearly two weeks. The 27-year-old will serve as Minnesota's clear top shortstop now that he's healthy, while Royce Lewis will head to the minors to get more consistent playing time at positions other than shortstop. Prior to his absence, Correa hit .255/.320/.372 with two homers, five doubles, 12 runs and 11 RBI over 24 games.

Correa (finger) will be activated from the 10-day injured list ahead of Wednesday's series finale in Oakland, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Manager Rocco Baldelli said after Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Athletics that Royce Lewis would be sent back to Triple-A St. Paul, clearing a spot on the 26-man active roster for Correa, who hasn't played since May 5 due to the right middle finger bone bruise. Though Lewis performed as arguably the Twins' top hitter during his 11-game run as the everyday shortstop, Minnesota won't be too disappointed to usher Correa back into the lineup. Prior to suffering the injury, Correa was hitting .255 with two home runs across 103 plate appearances in his first season in Minnesota.

Pena went 2-for-5 with a solo home run Tuesday against the Red Sox.

Pena returned from a four-game absence caused by a knee injury, and he recorded his seventh home run of the season in his first plate appearance. He's also riding a 10-game hitting streak, during which he has gone yard three times while driving in 11 and scoring six runs. Pena has put together an impressive .282/.341/.536 line across 123 plate appearances to begin the campaign.

Seager went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double, a solo home run and a second run scored in Tuesday's 10-5 win over the Angels.

Seager launched his team-leading eighth homer in the first inning off Reid Detmers, giving Texas an early lead. He later initiated a comeback with a leadoff double in the eighth, setting the stage for a seven-run inning. Seager is batting .242 (32-for-132) for a team that ranks 27th in MLB with a .219 average.

Crawford struck his ankle with his bat on a swing during Tuesday's loss to the Blue Jays but expects to be in the lineup for Wednesday's series finale, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

Crawford limped to first base on his ninth-inning groundout after hitting himself with his bat and immediately went into the clubhouse with the training staff, but it appears he's avoided a serious injury. The 27-year-old went 0-for-4 with a strikeout during Tuesday's contest and is hitless for the series.
