Berti went 1-for-5 with two RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Astros.

Berti had a groundout lead to a run in the second inning and an RBI single in the ninth. His stolen base was the infielder's 11th of the season, nine of which have come in his last 14 contests. The speedy 32-year-old has hit fairly well this year with a .269/.382/.398 slash line, two home runs, 10 RBI, 18 runs scored, four doubles and a triple through 110 plate appearances.

Correa is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Rays, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

Correa has gone 6-for-12 (.500) since being activated from the injured list, but he will get a day off Saturday for maintenance purposes. Nick Gordon will start at shortstop in Correa's place.

Witt is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Orioles.

Witt tallied two hits in each of his last three games, but manager Mike Matheny decided it was time to give him his first day off of the month. Nicky Lopez will man the shortstop position in Witt's place.

Bichette went 2-for-4 with a double and a home run, totaling two RBI and two runs scored in Friday's victory over the Tigers.

Friday's contest was Bichette's third two-hit game in a row and his fourth game in a row with a hit. He seems to have a proclivity for two-hit performances, with nine of them since May 24. The shortstop has picked up a hit in seven of his last nine contests, raising his season batting average to .266. Bichette is up to 10 home runs on the season after his two-run shot on Friday.

Berti went 0-for-3 with a walk, a run scored and a stolen base in Friday's 7-4 win over the Astros.

The veteran utility player continues to take advantage of his opportunities. Berti has started 10 straight games, slashing .306/.390/.361 over that stretch with four RBI, six runs and six of his 10 steals on the season.

Correa went 3-for-5 with a double, a two-run home run and a second run scored in Friday's 9-4 win over the Rays.

The Twins already had the game well in hand when Correa launched his fifth homer of the year off Calvin Faucher in the eighth inning. The shortstop hasn't missed a beat since a nine-game stint on the COVID-19 list, and over his last 14 contests dating back to May 18, Correa is slashing .362/.431/.603 with five doubles, three homers, eight RBI and 10 runs.

Seager went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 8-3 loss to the White Sox.

Seager returned to the lineup after getting a break Thursday amid a 1-for-20 slide. The slump continued over his first three plate appearances Friday, before Seager swatted an eighth-inning homer, his team-leading 12th.

Crawford went 1-for-3 with a pair of walks and a stolen base in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Red Sox.

After posting all of one stolen base in his first 53 games of the year, Crawford has now swiped a bag in each of his last two contests. He's also hit safely in five straight games, going 7-for-21 (.333) in that span. The shortstop has a .295/.386/.440 slash line with three steals, five home runs, 15 RBI, 26 runs scored, 12 doubles and a triple in 233 plate appearances.

Crawford (quadriceps) went 1-for-4 with an RBI in Friday's 7-2 win over the Dodgers.

Crawford was limited to pinch-hitting duties in the last two contests after suffering a minor right quadriceps injury Tuesday. He played the full game at shortstop Friday, so he should be considered fine going forward, though he may continue to see the occasional day off for rest. The 35-year-old is slashing .224/.307/.361 with five home runs, 25 RBI, 24 runs scored, a stolen base, six doubles and two triples through 205 plate appearances.

Edman went 1-for-3 with a stolen base and a walk in Friday's 2-0 win over the Reds.

Edman picked up his steal in the eighth inning, though he wasn't brought around to score. He had gone six games without a steal, which is tied for his second-longest stretch of the season after he began the year with no thefts in the first nine contests. The infielder is slashing .275/.356/.405 with 15 stolen bases, five home runs, 23 RBI and 46 runs scored through 251 plate appearances.
