  • Tim Anderson 2B | LAA

    White Sox's Tim Anderson: Out again Tuesday

    Anderson (wrist) is not in the lineup for Tuesday night's game against the Royals, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

    Anderson appeared as a pinch runner during the completion of the suspended game versus the Royals on Tuesday afternoon, but he's apparently not quite ready to rejoin the starting lineup. Jose Rondon will start at shortstop while Anderson remains on the bench for the fourth straight game due to his sore right wrist.

  • Carlos Correa SS | HOU

    Astros' Carlos Correa: Could miss time

    Correa's rib injury may sideline him for the next couple weeks according to general manager Jeff Luhnow, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

    It's not clear if Luhnow was referring to a precise timeline for Correa. The shortstop is visiting a doctor Tuesday to determine the extent of his injury. Luhnow did downplay the idea that Correa's injury would be a long-term one, but a trip to the injured list does appear likely.

    Astros' Carlos Correa: Out with rib soreness

    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.

  • Carlos Correa SS | HOU

    Astros' Carlos Correa: Sits for second straight game

    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.

  • David Fletcher 2B | ATL

    Angels' David Fletcher: Stays hot at dish

    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.

  • Mariners' Dee Gordon: Dealing with deep bone bruise

    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.

  • Joey Wendle 2B | ATL

    Rays' Joey Wendle: Hits and plays catch

    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.

  • Tim Anderson 2B | LAA

    White Sox's Tim Anderson: Still battling wrist issue

    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.

  • Carlos Correa SS | HOU

    Astros' Carlos Correa: Gets holiday off

    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.

  • Aledmys Diaz 1B | HOU

    Astros' Aledmys Diaz: Lands on injured list

    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.
