Carlos Correa SS | HOU
Twins' Carlos Correa: Taking seat Saturday
Correa isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Kansas City.
Correa went 2-for-4 with a homer and two runs scored in his return from the injured list Friday, but the Twins will keep him on the bench Saturday to ease him back into action from his concussion. Brooks Lee will get the nod at shortstop and bat third.

Jonathan Ornelas SS | ATL
Braves' Jonathan Ornelas: Sent to Atlanta
The Rangers traded Ornelas to Atlanta on Saturday in exchange for cash.
Ornelas was removed from Texas' 40-man roster Monday to make room for Michael Helman, but the former will now reclaim a 40-man spot upon moving to Atlanta. Ornelas, 24, has spent most of the season in Triple-A, slashing .204/.339/.235 across 121 plate appearances. He figures to remain in the minors with his new organization.

Trea Turner SS | PHI
Phillies' Trea Turner: Fills box score in win
Turner went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, an additional RBI and a stolen base in Friday's 4-3 win over the Athletics.
Turner took the fourth pitch of the game 426 feet to center field off Jacob Lopez. Turner added an RBI single that ended up being a vital insurance run in the ninth inning. He's logged multiple hits in four of the last five games while swiping a bag in three straight contests. The shortstop is up to a .310/.364/.433 slash line with four homers, 20 RBI, 34 runs scored, 13 steals, nine doubles and two triples across 49 games this season.

Carlos Correa SS | HOU
Twins' Carlos Correa: Goes yard in return
Correa went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Friday's 3-1 win over the Royals.
Correa made an immediate impact in his return from the injured list, smashing his third home run of the year after recovering from a concussion. The 30-year-old infielder is swinging a hot bat over his last 18 outings, during which he's batting .338 (23-for-68) with two homers, two doubles, nine RBI and nine runs scored. Correa may not offer much speed for fantasy managers, but he does present slugging upside at the shortstop position.

Joseph Ortiz 2B | MIL
Brewers' Joey Ortiz: Not in lineup Friday
Ortiz isn't part of Milwaukee's starting lineup for Friday's game against the Pirates.
Ortiz will give way to Andruw Monasterio at shortstop for the fourth time in 11 games. Ortiz has struggled at the plate in 2025, slashing .173/.228/.237 with a pair of homers in 170 plate appearances.

Logan Davidson SS | TB
Athletics' Logan Davidson: Set for promotion
The Athletics are expected to promote Davidson from Triple-A Las Vegas, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
Davidson will need to be added to the 40-man roster ahead of his MLB debut. The 27-year-old has played all four infield spots as well as left field over 40 games at Triple-A this season while slashing .310/.456/.437 with two home runs, 22 RBI, 30 runs scored and seven stolen bases across 182 plate appearances. He could be an option at second base or third base for the Athletics after Gio Urshela injured his hamstring Thursday.

Orlando Arcia 3B | COL
Braves' Orlando Arcia: DFA'd by Atlanta
Atlanta designated Arcia for assignment Friday.
The 30-year-old was Atlanta's Opening Day shortstop but quickly lost out on playing time to Nick Allen and has just 32 plate appearances this year. Arcia was an All-Star in 2023 but took a major step back last season with a .218/.271/.354 slash line in 157 regular-season games.

Carlos Correa SS | HOU
Twins' Carlos Correa: Reinstated Friday
The Twins activated Correa (concussion) from the 7-day injured list Friday.
Ryan Fitzgerald was optioned to Triple-A St. Paul on Thursday without a corresponding move, paving the way for Correa to rejoin the active roster ahead of Friday's series opener versus Kansas City. The veteran shortstop missed exactly one week after suffering a concussion on a collision with Byron Buxton (concussion) last Thursday. Correa is batting .293 through 12 contests in May, though his .675 OPS is underwhelming since he has just one extra-base hit during that stretch.

Jeremy Pena SS | HOU
Astros' Jeremy Pena: Drives in pair
Pena went 1-for-3 with a triple and two RBI on Thursday against the Mariners.
Pena has gone hitless in five of his last seven games, but he made a contribution Thursday. Despite the slow stretch, the shortstop is still batting .321 across 20 contests in May while delivering 13 RBI and seven runs scored.

Greg Jones RF | HOU
Astros' Greg Jones: Links up with Houston
Jones signed a minor-league contract with the Astros on Thursday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
Jones was let go by the White Sox on May 10 after slashing .145/.254/.258 across 71 plate appearances at Triple-A Charlotte. Now part of the Astros organization, the 27-year-old switch-hitter will fill in as outfield depth for Triple-A Sugar Land, and he's unlikely to get another look in the majors as long as he continues hitting the way he has been.
