Correa went 1-for-2 with a walk and a two-run homer in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Rangers.

The shortstop has been stuck in a rut lately, hitting .194 (7-for-36) since the calendar flipped to May, but Correa does have two homers, six RBI and five runs in 10 games this month. His overall .295/.380/.511 slash line remains strong, but the 23-year-old showed in 2017 that his ceiling is much higher than that.

Diaz (ankle) has resumed throwing and will begin hitting next week, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Diaz was placed on the disabled list earlier this week after leaving Sunday's contest in Tampa Bay due to a left ankle sprain. After taking a few days off to rest, Diaz is back on the field and is set to participate in some running and hitting drills early next week. The Blue Jays have yet to describe a specific timetable for his return, but he will be eligible to come off the DL on Friday.

Bogaerts went 1-for-4 with a solo homer in Friday's 5-3 extra-innings loss to the Blue Jays.

The fourth-inning blast was Bogaerts' fourth home run of the season, as well as his first in May. He hasn't quite been able to regain his pre-injury form at the plate, but the 25-year-old still has a strong .296/.328/.481 slash line in 13 games since coming off the disabled list.

Gordon (toe) is back in the lineup in center field and batting atop the order for Friday's game against Detroit, Ryan Divish of the Seattle Times reports.

Gordon was held out of Thursday's game due to a bruised big toe after suffering the injury earlier in the week on a foul ball. It doesn't appear as though this was an overly serious injury, and the speedy outfielder likely won't miss any additional time.

Gordon is not in the lineup Thursday against the Blue Jays due to a bruised big toe, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.

Gordon suffered the injury after fouling a ball off his foot earlier in the week. His absence from the lineup seems to be precautionary, however, as the Mariners expect him to return to action for Friday's series opener against the Tigers. Guillermo Heredia is starting in center field Thursday.

Gordon is out of the lineup Thursday against the Blue Jays, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

The 30-year-old Gordon is off to a hot start to the season, hitting .340/.362/.431 with 15 stolen bases across 35 games, but he will head to the bench for just the third time all year with left-hander J.A. Happ toeing the rubber for the opposition. Guillermo Heredia will start in center field and bat eighth in his place.

Anderson went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 6-5 loss to the Pirates.

The homer was Anderson's seventh in 34 games, putting him on pace reach 20-plus homers. Unfortunately, it was just the second homer occurring with men on base, pushing his RBI total to 11. Anderson's spot in Chicago's unproductive lower third of the order doesn't lend itself to many RBI opportunities.

Correa is not in the lineup against Oakland on Wednesday.

Correa will receive a day off during Wednesday's matinee after starting 31 straight games. Marwin Gonzalez will get the nod at shortstop in his absence while batting fifth in the order. Over 37 games this season, Correa is hitting .296/.367/.496 with five home runs and 25 RBI.

Gordon went 3-for-5 with a run scored and stolen base Tuesday against the Blue Jays.

Dee Gordon continued his red-hot stretch of hitting Tuesday, recording his sixth multi-hit performance across his last nine starts. In that span, he has seen his average rise from .277 to .353 while also stealing six bases and scoring eight runs. He's produced exactly as expected, and his value is amplified by the fact that he remains eligible at second base.

Urena was recalled from Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Urena was optioned to Buffalo just two days ago, but he'll head back to the big leagues to replace the injured Aledmys Diaz (ankle) on the active roster. It's unlikely that the 22-year-old will see much playing time with Toronto.
