Correa went 0-for-3 with an RBI in Friday's 4-1 loss to the Padres.

Correa was given the day off Wednesday, which, coupled with Thursday's off day, gave the shortstop a nice two-day break. He suffered a minor toe injury after fouling a ball off his foot Monday, so the break gave him some extra time to heal.

Diaz (back) will not be in Friday's lineup against the Rangers, Hazel Mae of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Though Diaz was expected to return for the series opener, manager John Gibbons will give the shortstop another day of rest after he exited Tuesday's contest with back spasms. In his place, Yangervis Solarte will draw another start at the shortstop position and bat cleanup. Consider Diaz day-to-day ahead of Saturday's affair.

Diaz (back) is expected to be back in the lineup Friday against the Rangers, the Toronto Sun reports.

Diaz was pulled from Tuesday's game against the White Sox with back spasms and sat out Wednesday's game as well. The issue wasn't thought to be a major one, though, so he's expected to be back in action Friday, barring setbacks.

Anderson went 1-for-3 with two walks, a stolen base, and a run scored in Thursday's 9-7 loss to the Tigers.

Anderson stole his fourth bag in four attempts on the season after he opened the second inning with a single, then moved to third on a groundout before scoring on Adam Engel's sacrifice fly. It was the second such instance over the first week in which Anderson's legs led directly to a run. He vowed to run more in 2018, and so far he's following through. What would enhance his base-stealing and run-scoring opportunities is if the hitter with a career OBP of .291 can develop the patience to take more walks. Thursday's two-walk game was just the second of his career.

Adrianza is in Thursday's lineup at shortstop batting eighth in the order, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Adrianza is 1-for-5 so far this season as Minnesota's only reserve infielder. He gets a rare start to give Eduardo Escobar a day off.

Wendle is not in Thursday's lineup against the Red Sox, Marc Topkin of The Tampa Bay Times reports.

Wendle will retreat to the bench with southpaw David Price taking the mound for Boston. Daniel Robertson will draw the start at the keystone and bat eighth.

Diaz (back) is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Diaz was removed from Tuesday's game due to back spasms and will remain sidelined for the series finale while Gift Ngoepe fills in at short. Looking ahead, Diaz will receive another day off due to Toronto's scheduled break Thursday before the clubs begins a series against the Rangers. Consider Diaz day-to-day for the time being.

Gordon went 3-for-5 with a pair of stolen bases and a run in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Giants.

It was the quintessential line for a quintessential leadoff hitter, and it extended Gordon's season-opening hitting streak to a modest four games. The 29-year-old dynamo already has a pair of multi-hit outings as well during that stretch, while his two swipes broke the ice in that category for him in 2018. Fantasy owners and the Mariners alike undoubtedly hope that Tuesday's production is a microcosm of what Gordon frequently brings to the table this season; given his body of work dating back to spring training, that's an increasingly conceivable notion.

Correa is out of the lineup against the Orioles on Wednesday, Hunter Atkins of The Houston Chronicle reports.

Correa will receive an expected day off after suffering a minor toe injury during Monday's outing. There shouldn't be any concern over his status since Correa was able to play Tuesday, but manager A.J. Hinch will take it easy on his shortstop with a scheduled off-day on tap prior to Friday's series opener against San Diego. In his place, Marwin Gonzalez will take over at short while J.D. Davis draws a start at first.

Anderson went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, three runs scored and two stolen bases in Tuesday's 14-5 loss to the Blue Jays.

Anderson has been a completely different player this season after a near season-long struggle in 2017 after the preseason death of a close friend. At the beginning of 2018, Anderson is hitting .375 (6-for-16) with three home runs, four RBI, six runs and three stolen bases.
