Correa is not starting Tuesday against the Cubs due to rib soreness, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Correa is being evaluated by team doctors. The severity of the injury should become clear once the result of the evaluation has been made public. Jack Mayfield starts at shortstop in his absence.

Correa remains on the bench Tuesday against the Cubs, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

There have yet to be reports of an injury, but it would be quite surprising if Correa wasn't at least dealing with something minor. Jack Mayfield starts at shortstop in his absence.

Fletcher went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI and two runs scored Monday against the Athletics.

Fletcher doubled home a run in the sixth inning, cutting the Angels' deficit to two runs. He's evidently been seeing the baseball well of late, as he's now pieced together a modest six-game hitting streak. Fletcher is 11-for-23 with three extra-base hits and three RBI over that stretch.

Gordon has a deep bone bruise on his wrist but no fracture, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.

A specialist confirmed that Gordon avoided the worst-case scenario, but his timeline remains unclear. He's not expected to pick up a bat for at least a few more days. Shed Long remains the primary second baseman in his absence.

Wendle (wrist) played catch and hit off a tee Monday, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

Wendle is gradually working his way back from a broken wrist he suffered in late April. His initial timeline, which had him returning in mid-June, still appears to be the target, as the Rays have yet to give an updated plan.

Anderson (wrist) remains out of the lineup for the third straight game Monday against the Royals, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Anderson was listed as a starter initially in each of the previous two games before eventually being scratched, but he's on the bench from the beginning on this occasion. Jose Rondon remains the shortstop in his absence. Per Scott Merkin of MLB.com, Anderson's wrist continues to improve, but he's not counting on returning Tuesday.

Correa will sit Monday against the Cubs, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Correa played every game in April and sits for just the second time in May. He's bounced back from a poor 2018 campaign to hit .295/.360/.547 through 50 games. Alex Bregman slides over to shortstop in his absence.

Diaz (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Diaz left Sunday's game against the Red Sox with left hamstring discomfort and will now sit for at least 10 days. Jack Mayfield will replace him on the roster and will temporarily be the starting second baseman, though Jose Altuve is just days away from returning from a hamstring injury of his own.

Fletcher contributed to a victory over Texas on Sunday by going 3-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored.

Fletcher's trio of singles extended his hitting streak to five games and raised his average to a healthy .310 on the season. It was his fourth three-hit game of 2019 and second in the last five games. After opening the season in a reserve role, he continues to thrive as an everyday starter.

Correa went 1-for-3 with an RBI and a walk in Sunday's loss to Boston.

Correa kicked off the scoring in this one with an RBI single to left field, though it was the Red Sox who would emerge victorious. He's slashing .295/.360/.547 with 11 homers and 35 RBI over 50 games in 2019.
