Bichette went 3-for-4 with a trio of base hits, a walk, two RBI and three stolen bases for Double-A New Hampshire in its 7-5 win over Bowie on Sunday.

With uber prospect Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (knee) on the shelf for at least the next four weeks, Bichette becomes the main attraction at New Hampshire. He certainly didn't disappoint in the lead role Sunday, putting his speed and high-contact and on-base skills on full display in one of his more complete performances of the season. After struggling at the plate for much of May, Bichette's bat has heated up of late with a .361/.425/.500 slash line through the first 10 games of June. He has also been efficient on the basepaths throughout the campaign, posting a 20-for-25 success rate on stolen-base attempts.

Adames was promoted to the majors Monday to replaced the injured Daniel Robertson (hamstring).

Adames made a brief major-league debut in late May, going 2-for-12 with a homer over three games. He has a promising profile, with the potential to hit for both power and average from the shortstop position. The 22-year-old has hit a solid .286/.356/.424 in 54 games for Triple-A Durham so far this season. Whether or not Adames will be up for good this time is not yet clear. The Rays are notoriously slow with their prospects, but the young shortstop has now played nearly a season and a half at the Triple-A level and has little left to prove in the minors.

Anderson went 0-for-2 with two walks, a run scored and an RBI in Sunday's win over Boston.

Anderson worked a bases-loaded walk against Rick Porcello in the third inning, then alertly came around from second base on a 3-1 putout on which Porcello stumbled after taking the throw from Mitch Moreland. This was Anderson's fourth multi-walk game of the season, three more than the free-swinging shortstop had during his first two seasons in the majors. He has now walked 20 times over 243 plate appearances (8.3 BB%) this season, after accepting just 13 free passes over 606 plate appearances (2.2 BB%) in 2017.

Astros manager A.J. Hinch said that he expects Correa (side) to rejoin the lineup Tuesday against the Athletics, Hunter Atkins of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Correa will be sidelined for a fourth straight game Sunday against the Rangers while he recovers from a sore right side, but it appears a trip to the disabled list won't be necessary for the star shortstop. He was able to put in a workout in the infield Sunday, and with a team off day Monday, the Astros anticipate that Correa will be healthy enough to suit up for the series opener in Oakland. Correa's return to the starting nine would result in Marwin Gonzalez shifting back to left field on a regular basis.

Lindor will start at shortstop and bat cleanup Sunday against the Tigers, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

With a big bopper in Edwin Encarnacion (ankle) missing from the lineup for the second day in a row, the Indians elected to move Lindor from his usual leadoff post to add some thump to the heart of the order. Expect Lindor to slide back into the table-setting role once Encarnacion is cleared to rejoin the starting nine, perhaps as soon as Monday's series opener with the White Sox.

Correa (side) is out of the lineup Sunday against the Rangers, Stefan Stevenson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Correa will be on the bench for a fourth consecutive contest while he battles right side discomfort, resulting in Marwin Gonzalez picking up another turn at shortstop. The 23-year-old was expected to go through fielding drills prior to Sunday's contest and will have the benefit of a team off day Monday, offering optimism that he'll be back in the fold for the Astros' series opener Tuesday in Oakland. Unfortunately for fantasy owners in weekly leagues with lineups that lock Monday, official word on Correa's status for the Oakland series seems unlikely to come until Tuesday.

Wendle is out of the lineup Sunday against the Mariners.

The lefty-hitting Wendle will hit the bench for the second time this series with the Mariners bringing another southpaw (James Paxton) to the hill. Wendle's absence clears room at second base for Christian Arroyo, who will bat sixth Sunday.

Correa (side) isn't in Saturday's lineup against the Rangers.

Correa exited Wednesday's tilt due to side discomfort, and it's unclear if he'll return this weekend. He's slated to take part in fielding drills Sunday after hitting Saturday, Hunter Atkins of the Houston Chronicle reports. Correa could be available Sunday as a pinch hitter.

Gordon is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against Tampa Bay, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Gordon will receive a rare day off after going hitless in five at-bats during Friday's victory. In his place, Andrew Romine will make a start at second base and bat ninth in the order. Expect Gordon to be back in the starting nine for Sunday's series finale.

Correa (side) is not yet performing baseball activities and continues to work on testing his core, Hunter Atkins of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Every development since Correa left Wednesday's game with discomfort in his right side has been positive: a magnetic resonance imaging exam came back negative and the shortstop hasn't felt pain since the incident. Manager A.J. Hinch said he's bouncing back quickly and isn't feeling anything when he breathes or with any type of body movement. Hinch hasn't ruled out a return this weekend, but without Correa swinging a bat or fielding grounders, he may not be ready to play until the next series, which begins Tuesday in Oakland.
