Diaz was placed on the 10-day disabled list with a left ankle sprain Tuesday, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Fortunately, X-rays on Diaz's ankle came back clean, but he'll require a stint on the disabled list nonetheless. It's unclear how long he'll be sidelined as a result of this injury, though the earliest he can return from the DL is May 18. Richard Urena will replace him on the active roster while Lourdes Gurriel will serve as the primary replacement at shortstop in the interim.

Wendle is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Braves.

As expected, Wendle will take his normal spot on the bench with a lefty (Sean Newcomb) toeing the rubber for the opposition. In his place, Daniel Robertson will start at the keystone and hit fifth.

Bichette went 1-for-2 with a double, three walks and a stolen base for Double-A New Hampshire in its 10-2 victory over Portland on Monday.

New Hampshire teammate Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has justifiably received much of the attention from minor-league observers this season, but Bichette has certainly held his own in his first taste of the Eastern League. With five walks in his last two games, Bichette is now up to a 13.1 BB% for the season, four percentage points better than any mark he has posted at any level of the minors. The elite on-base skills have allowed Bichette to frequently showcase his wheels, with his nine steals on the campaign ranking third in the circuit.

Correa went 1-for-3 with a double Sunday against Arizona.

Correa recorded double No. 12 of the season Sunday and continues to put together solid production at the plate. He's batting .299 with five home runs and 25 RBI through his first 35 games. Correa should continue to put up decent power numbers as the season progresses.

X-rays on the left ankle of DIaz -- who exited Sunday's game in the fifth inning -- came back negative, but the shortstop will be sent for an MRI.

The Blue Jays are referring to the injury as a sprain for now but have decided to send Diaz for a precautionary MRI to learn more about the injury. With a team day off Monday, consider Diaz day-to-day heading into Tuesday's series opener against Seattle.

Diaz exited Sunday's game against the Rays in the top of the fifth inning with an apparent left ankle injury, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Diaz sustained the injury while running out an RBI infield single, with the shortstop seemingly turning his ankle upon touching the outside of the bag and immediately falling to the infield in pain. Per Steve Carney of Sports Radio 620 WDAE, Diaz was carted off the field, suggesting more than a day-to-day injury may be in play. The Blue Jays will presumably evaluate Diaz in the locker room and issue an update on his condition after the game.

Adrianza will start at shortstop and bat eighth Sunday against the White Sox, Dan Hayes of The Athletic Minnesota reports.

Miguel Sano's (hamstring) placement on the disabled list earlier this month has opened the door for Adrianza to pick up added work at shortstop with Eduardo Escobar shifting over to third base. Sunday will mark Adrianza's third consecutive start, an indication he's moved ahead of Gregorio Petit on the depth chart. As a glove-first player who occupies a low spot in the batting order, Adrianza will likely struggle to provide much fantasy utility even in AL-only formats while he receives regular action.

The Blue Jays optioned Urena to Triple-A Buffalo on Sunday.

Urena had been with the Blue Jays for the past four games while Justin Smoak was on paternity leave, but didn't leave the bench in any of those contests. He'll likely reclaim an everyday role in the Buffalo infield upon heading back to the affiliate.

Anderson went 3-for-4 with a double, two solo homers and an additional run scored in Saturday's loss to the Twins.

Anderson has been in a bit of a rough patch lately, with just one hit in his last 18 at-bats heading into Saturday, but his big performance will hopefully get him going again. He's now hitting .261/.307/.462 with six homers and 10 stolen bases through 31 games this season.

Lindor went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo homer Saturday against the Yankees.

The home run was a two-out blast in the top of the fifth inning off Sonny Gray. In the bottom half of the same inning, though, the young shortstop turned two outs into two runs by making a pair of errors on a would-be double-play ball. Offensively, though, Lindor has been a cross-category contributor, with a .284 average, five steals and eight home runs on the season so far.
