Correa isn't in Saturday's lineup against the Rangers.

Correa started nearly every game during the regular season in 2020, but he'll sit for Saturday's contest after the Astros secured a spot in the playoffs Friday. Jack Mayfield will start at shortstop.

Bichette will sit Saturday against Baltimore.

The Blue Jays have clinched a spot in the playoffs, so they can afford to give their stars a rest in the season's final few games. Bichette will sit for the first time since returning from a sprained knee two weeks ago, with Joe Panik taking over at shortstop.

Wendle went 2-for-5 with a go-ahead two-run single and a run in a win over the Phillies on Friday.

Lindor went 0-for-2 with three walks, a run scored and a stolen base in a 4-3 win over the Pirates on Friday.

Lindor is having a down year in terms of his personal numbers at the plate but is still doing well overall as he's hitting .263/.341/.425 with eight home runs, 27 RBI and 30 runs scored in 58 games.
