Correa is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Manager Dusty Baker will extend Correa a day off while he's stuck in a 1-for-27 slump at the plate that has dropped his season average to .246. Robel Garcia steps in at shortstop for Correa in the series finale.

Baez (back) is not in the lineup Sunday against the Pirates.

The 28-year-old exited Saturday's contest with back tightness, and he'll receive two days to rest between Sunday and Monday's scheduled off day. Ildemaro Vargas will work at shortstop in the series finale in Baez's absence for Chicago.

Lindor went 2-for-3 with a double, one RBI, one run, a walk and a stolen base in the Mets' 4-2 win over the Diamondbacks on Saturday.

Lindor may finally be catching a bit of a hot streak. The perennial All-Star reached base safely nine times in his last three games. He has a home run, three RBI, three runs and a stolen base in that stretch. Despite the recent burst, the 27-year-old is slashing a brutal .190/.317/.270 in 121 plate appearances with his new team.

Seager went 3-for-5 with two runs and an RBI in Saturday's 14-11 win over the Angels.

Seager reached base three times in the game's fourth and fifth innings, scoring twice in that stretch as the Dodgers tallied 11 runs. The game raised his line to .260/.361/.433.

Adrianza went 3-for-3 with a run, RBI and walk as Atlanta beat Philadelphia 8-7 Saturday.

Adrianza entered in the seventh and proceeded to get on base four times in five innings, including a walk-off single in the 12th. He's been successful in a reserve role this season with a .302/.340/.535 slash line.

Crawford went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and a walk in Saturday's win over the Padres.

Crawford blasted his seventh long ball of the campaign in the second inning, and the veteran shortstop has now gone deep in three of his last five games. He has also hit safely in four contests while posting an excellent 6:1 BB:K during that five-game stretch.

Bogaerts went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run and a second run scored in Saturday's 11-6 win over the Orioles.

His sixth-inning blast off Tyler Wells capped the scoring for the Red Sox on the night. The shortstop is locked in at the plate, and over the last eight games Bogaerts has gone 14-for-33 (.424) with four of his seven homers on the season, adding eight RBI and 11 runs for good measure.

Rojas went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Brewers.

He gave the Marlins an early lead by taking Adrian Houser deep to lead off the bottom of the first inning. Rojas only has two homers on the year, but they've both come in the last three games -- part of a power binge that's seen him also rack up three doubles and a triple while going 10-for-19 during his current five-game hitting streak.

DeJong went 2-for-3 with a double, two walks, two stolen bases, two RBI and a run during Saturday's 9-8 win over Colorado.

The 27-year-old delivered a two-RBI single during the opening frame, and he brought home another run via a double during the fifth inning. DeJong has a .193/.292/.404 slash line with seven homers, three doubles, 17 RBI and 19 runs through 32 games in 2021.

Baez left Saturday's game against the Pirates with back tightness, Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com reports.

Baez went 1-for-3 at the plate prior to exiting with the injury. It doesn't sound like a particularly serious one, but the shortstop could still find himself on the bench for at least one game. The Cubs have an off day Monday, so he'll wind up with two consecutive days of rest if he sits out Sunday.
