Correa (finger) isn't starting Saturday against the Athletics.

Correa's recent CT scan didn't reveal a fracture, so the 27-year-old is considered day-to-day as he deals with a bruise and soreness. He'll remain out of the lineup for a second straight game while Royce Lewis starts at shortstop and bats ninth.

Swanson went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Brewers.

The shortstop took Jandel Gustave deep in the eighth inning, but all Swanson really accomplished was creating a save situation for Josh Hader. Swanson continues to put his slow start to the season behind him, and over the last 16 games he's slashing .314/.379/.529 with two homers, two steals, eight RBI and nine runs.

Anderson went 3-for-5 with a run scored Friday against Boston.

Anderson didn't do much damage with his three knocks, but he now has six multi-hit performances in his last 11 starts. He's collected three home runs, four RBI and 11 runs scored in that span. Overall, Anderson has maintained an excellent .330 average while striking out at just an 11 percent clip across 91 plate appearances to begin the campaign.

Correa (finger) underwent a CT scan Friday that didn't reveal a fracture, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Correa was initially believed to be dealing with a non-displaced fracture in his right middle finger after being hit by a pitch Thursday against the Orioles, but the finger is ultimately just bruised and sore. President of baseball operations Derek Falvey said the shortstop is considered day-to-day for now, so it's possible he'll avoid a trip to the injured list. Royce Lewis was called up from Triple-A St. Paul and will start at shortstop Friday against the Athletics.

Barrero (hand) suffered a setback in his recovery, though he's back to where he was prior to the setback, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Barrero played the field in extended spring games in late April but had to back off for a bit. He's able to take the field again now, but he's still a few steps away from being ready to return.

Bichette went 3-for-5 with two runs scored in Thursday's loss to the Guardians.

The shortstop has suddenly sprung to life at the plate, hitting safely in six straight games while going 11-for-24 (.458) with a homer, a steal, five runs and five RBI. Bichette's .254/.280/.377 slash line on the season remains well below expectations, but the 24-year-old is more than capable of staying hot for a couple weeks and boosting those numbers significantly.

Lindor went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Thursday's win over the Phillies.

The shortstop took James Norwood deep in the top of the ninth inning, kicking off a stunning rally from a 7-1 deficit. Lindor snapped a 13-game homer drought with the blast, a stretch during which he managed a poor .176/.246/.196 slash line. Despite the slump dragging his batting average down to .241, the 28-year-old still has five homers, three steals, 16 runs and 17 RBI through 28 contests.

Story went 0-for-4 with four strikeouts in Thursday's 8-0 loss to the Angels.

Story built momentum over the previous three games but Shohei Ohtani put an end to that, handing the second baseman a golden sombrero. The Fenway faithful let Story know they were not pleased with the performance, per Christopher Smith of MassLive.com, but his teammates and manager have his back. Story is batting .210 with a .293 OBP, .296 SLG and .589 OPS over 21 games. He's still seeking his first home run.

Edman went 3-for-5 with a double, a run and three RBI in Thursday's 7-1 victory over the Giants.

Edman once again served as a catalyst atop the order for the Cardinals, finishing with his seventh multi-hit performance of the campaign and producing a season-best three RBI. The second baseman knocked in a pair of runs with a single in the fifth inning and drove home another run with a single in the seventh. Edman could be on his way to a breakout campaign, as he's slashing .325/.429/.494 with three homers, 14 RBI, 17 runs and six stolen bases across 99 plate appearances.

Pena went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in a 3-2 win Thursday over Detroit.

Pena homered off Tarik Skubal to lead off the fifth inning and give Houston a 2-0 lead. After a rough 11-game stretch where he went 4-for-40 with 15 strikeouts, the rookie is 4-for-10 with two homers and five RBI. 10 of his 20 hits have gone for extra bases, and the 24-year-old has posted a .500 SLG despite only batting .233.
