Correa (side) was held out of Friday's lineup against the Rangers, Alyson Footer of MLB.com reports.

Correa will get another day off after leaving Wednesday's outing with right side discomfort, though he did receive good news from an MRI on Thursday. Manager A.J. Hinch hasn't remarked on Correa's status, but all signs point toward the shortstop returning to the fold sometime this weekend. For the second straight game, Marwin Gonzalez will man the shortstop position in his stead.

Wendle is out of the lineup against Seattle on Friday, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.

Wendle will take a seat with left-hander Marco Gonzales on the mound for the Mariners. In his place, Christian Arroyo will draw a start at the keystone and bat eighth.

Correa (side) received good results from Thursday's MRI and stated that he's day-to-day moving forward, Jake Kaplan of The Athletic reports.

Correa described the results of the tests as "great news" and added that he's optimistic that he will be back on the field soon. Whether that comes Friday or later on this weekend, that remains to be seen, but in all likelihood, it appears as though he didn't sustain a significant injury. In his absence, Marwin Gonzalez will start at shortstop for Thursday's series opener.

Correa (side) is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against Texas, Levi Weaver of The Athletic reports.

Correa was forced to exit Wednesday's contest with right side discomfort prior to the top of the eighth inning and he will get the night off as the club begins a four-game set in Arlington. The Astros have yet to describe the severity of Correa's injury, so consider him day-to-day ahead of Friday's tilt.

Anderson is not in the lineup against Minnesota on Thursday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Anderson will head to the bench for the series finale as Jose Rondon picks up a start at shortstop. Over the past 12 games, Anderson is hitting .295 with a 1.036 OPS and 13 RBI.

Correa exited Wednesday's game against the Mariners with right side discomfort, Julia Morales of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.

Correa was 1-for-3 with a walk before being replaced by Marwin Gonzalez prior to the top of the eighth inning. He apparently felt something during his final at-bat in the seventh inning, though specifics remain unclear at this point. Consider the shortstop day-to-day for now. He'll be reevaluated Thursday.

Gordon went 2-for-4 with a go-ahead RBI infield single and a stolen base in a win over the Rays on Sunday.

Gordon coaxed a blooper just over the head of shortstop Daniel Robertson off southpaw Jose Alvarado with one out in the eighth, bringing home what would ultimately prove to be the winning run in a brilliant pitchers' duel. The speedy leadoff man also swiped his 19th bag of the season in the victory, keeping him on pace to potentially reach or eclipse the 60 steals he tallied in Miami last season. After an eight-game slump (4-for-36) that he sandwiched around a 10-day stint on the disabled list due to a toe injury, Gordon bounced back to go 3-for-8 with Sunday's RBI and three stolen bases over the final two games of the series versus the Rays.

Gordon went 1-for-4 with two stolen bases in a win over the Rays on Saturday.

Following an 0-for-6 night Friday in which he struck out twice, Gordon reportedly re-took the field in the wee hours and put in nearly 30 minutes of batting practice off a tee, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports. The extra work paid off to a modest extent Saturday, as Gordon snapped an 0-for-10 slump with a first-inning single. He then proceeded to swipe second, which prompted an errant throw from Rays backstop Jesus Sucre and allowed the speedster to advance to third. The play was representative of the dynamic element Gordon brings to the table any time he's on base, making his willingness to put in extra work when he isn't successful all the more important.

Sardinas (back) sustained an ankle injury during his rehab assignment at Triple-A Norfolk, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

Sardinas, who has been on the disabled list since the end of April with the back injury, began his rehab stint last week only to suffer the ankle injury. The severity of the ankle issue and whether the back injury still a problem remains unclear, and the 25-year-old currently has no timetable for his return.

Wendle is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Mariners, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Southpaw Marco Gonzales will take the hill for the Mariners, as the Rays responded with an all-right-handed batting lineup. Christian Arroyo will start at second base and bat eighth for Tampa Bay.
