Adrianza (oblique) is on the Twins' ALDS roster.

An oblique strain has kept Adrianza out of action since Sept. 12. He's seemingly ready to go now, however, and should fill a bench role during the division series.

Correa (back) is in the lineup for Game 1 of the ALDS against the Rays on Friday, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Correa has been out for nearly two weeks with a tight back, but he's ready to go for the start of the playoffs, batting seventh and playing shortstop. Injuries limited him to just 75 games this season, but he hit quite well when healthy, posting a .279/.358/.568 slash line.

Correa (back) is expected to play in Game 1 of the ALDS on Friday, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

A sore back has kept Correa sidelined since Sept. 21. The shortstop himself expressed optimism over the weekend that he wouldn't have to miss any playoff games, and manager AJ Hinch echoed those sentiments Wednesday.

Wendle is not in the lineup for Wednesday's Wild Card Game against Oakland, Josh Tolentino of The Athletic reports.

Wendle hits the bench as the Rays go with a righty-heavy lineup against lefty Sean Manaea. Matt Duffy starts at third base.

Lindor went 2-for-4 with a home run, an RBI and a run scored in the team's 8-2 loss to the Nationals on Sunday.

Lindor capped off yet another stellar year as he hit at least 30 home runs for the third consecutive season. The 2011 first-round pick finished the season with a .284 batting average which was his highest since 2016 but also only finished with 74 RBI and played in 143 games which both were his lowest totals since his rookie season in 2015. The 25-year-old shortstop led the team in batting average and hits in 2019 and will continue to be a cornerstone for this franchise for years to come.

Turner went 2-for-3 with a run scored and a stolen base in the National's 8-2 win over the Indians on Sunday.

The emergence of Turner has been something special as the former first-round pick has put together back-to-back seasons of appearing in at least 100 games for the first time in his young five-year career. The 26-year-old put together a stellar .291/.348/.467 slashline and was fifth in the league with 35 steals. Turner is one of the best leadoff hitters in the league and will be a crucial piece if the Nationals hope to make some noise in this year's playoffs.

DeJong went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to the Cubs on Saturday.

DeJong got to the 30-homer threshold with his 416-foot solo shot in the eighth, his third round tripper over the last six contests. The power-hitting shortstop is scuffling outside of the big blasts in September, however, as he's hitting just .179 (17-for-95) since the calendar flipped from August.

Edman went 2-for-4 with an RBI single and a two-run triple in a loss to the Cubs on Saturday.

The rookie churned out his seventh consecutive multi-hit effort, a remarkable run that's helped Edman to a .364 average in September. Edman has accomplished the feat in nine of the last 10 contests overall, and he heads into the final day of the regular season with a stellar .307/.352/.506 line over 344 plate appearances.

Wendle is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays, Josh Tolentino of The Athletic reports.

Wendle has a .733 OPS over 23 games in September and will take a seat for the season finale. Matt Duffy receives another start at the hot corner in his place.

Gordon (back) is starting at second base and bat ninth Sunday versus the Athletics.

Gordon missed the last three contests due to the back tightness but will rejoin the starting nine for the season finale.
