Correa went 3-for-3 with two walks, a solo home run and two runs scored in Tuesday's 8-2 win over the Diamondbacks.

Correa is one of the few Houston batters off to a productive start. He's hit safely in nine of 10 games played, going 14-for-36 with five extra-base hits (two homers) and six RBI.

Seager (quad) is expected to return to the field Wednesday after starting at designated hitter each of the last two games, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Seager missed Sunday's contest with a left quadriceps injury, but he has been well enough to play as the team's designated hitter Monday and Tuesday. Manager Dave Roberts indicated that Seager is likely to return to his customary shortstop position Wednesday against San Diego. Seager has enjoyed a strong start to the season, slashing .356/.408/.644 with three home runs and seven RBI.

Mondesi went 3-for-4 with a double, run scored and RBI in Tuesday's win over the Cubs.

Mondesi plated the Royals' first run of the game with a single in the second inning and scored their final run in the ninth. The 25-year-old has overcome a slow start by reaching base in six of his last seven games, going 11-for-24 (.458) over that span. Mondesi is batting .289 (13-for-45) on the season, though he has stolen only one base in three attempts.

Rojas (illness) was placed on the injured list ahead of Tuesday's game against Baltimore, Jared Diamond of The Wall Street Journal reports.

Rojas was among the 13 Marlins placed on the injured list ahead of the team's return to play after a COVID-19 outbreak. Rojas was reported to be one of the players who tested positive for COVID-19, so he likely was placed on the COVID-19 IL. Rojas got off to an incredibly hot start in the opening series against the Phillies, going 7-for-10 with a homer and a steal, but it's not clear how long he'll be sidelined.

DeJong was placed on the COVID-19 injured list Tuesday.

DeJong is one of many Cardinals who have been caught up in the team's coronavirus outbreak. He'll be eligible to return to action once he's symptom-free and produces a pair of negative tests. Whether that happens before the Cardinals are allowed to return to the field remains to be seen. The team's next scheduled game is currently set for Friday against the Cubs.

Arcia is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the White Sox.

Arcia sits for just the second time this season. Eric Sogard slides over to shortstop, opening up third base for Brock Holt.

Adames is not starting Tuesday against Boston, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Adames sits for just the second time in the season's first 11 games. He owns a strong .919 OPS through 32 plate appearances. Joey Wendle takes over at shortstop.

DeJong revealed Tuesday that he is part of the group of Cardinals who have tested positive for COVID-19.

The Cardinals are in the middle of a week-long stretch without any games as they try to determine how far their coronavirus outbreak has spread. DeJong will remain out until he's symptom-free and tests negative for the virus twice. Backup infielder Edmundo Sosa has also tested positive, but the Cardinals can slide Tommy Edman from third base to shortstop and start Matt Carpenter at the hot corner if they return to play before DeJong is ready to go.

Seager went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Monday's 5-4 loss against the Padres.

Seager was the only Dodger who recorded more than one hit in this game, but that is becoming a trend for the shortstop -- he is currently riding a six-game hitting streak and has recorded multi-hit performances in each of his last three contests. He has hit safely in all but one game this season, going 15-for-40 (.375) in his first 40 at-bats.

Lindor went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Reds. He was also caught stealing.

Since getting off to a 2-for-14 start, Lindor has gone 9-for-30 with three home runs. He's still looking for his first stolen base -- Monday's attempt was his first -- and Cleveland is not running a lot as a team early on. That said, it would still be a surprise if Lindor didn't end up with a handful of steals by the end of the campaign.
