Correa went 1-for-3 with a walk and two RBI in Monday's 6-4 win over the Giants.

Correa has been the most consistent producer in a Houston lineup that's struggled to score runs. He's hit safely in 14 of 16 games with a slash of .345/.433/.517. Top-of-the-lineup hitters like George Springer (wrist), Jose Altuve and Alex Bregman have not reached base as consistently as usual so far his season, which has limited RBI opportunities for Correa, who had just one RBI in the previous nine games.

Seager (back) was able to throw on the field at Dodger Stadium on Monday, Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times reports.

This marks the first time Seager has participated in baseball activities since being pulled from Friday's game with lower-back discomfort. A follow-up scan came back clean, and the Dodgers have thus far resisted placing the shortstop on the injured list with the hope that he'll be ready to resume playing within 10 days. Per Castillo, Seager's progress over the next few days will ultimately determine whether or not he'll end up spending time on the IL.

Ahmed went 3-for-4 with three runs scored, one RBI, a walk and two stolen bases in Monday's 12-8 victory over Colorado.

Ahmed entered Monday's game batting just .137 before producing his first multi-hit effort of the season. His two stolen bases were also his first of the season. The 30-year-old is sporting a pedestrian .553 OPS with just two extra-base hits across 61 plate appearances, but a series in Coors Field appears to be just what the doctor ordered.

Turner went 3-for-5 with a home run, two runs scored and three RBI in Monday's 16-4 rout of the Mets.

He took Steven Matz deep in the third inning, one of four homers the Nats launched on the night, for his second long ball of the year. Turner had gone just 1-for-20 over his prior five games, but the shortstop -- and nearly the entire Washington lineup -- woke up in a big way as the team began a 10-day road trip.

Seager (back) remains on the bench Monday against the Padres, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Seager sits for the third consecutive game after leaving Friday's game against the Giants with a lower-back discomfort. Chris Taylor will be the starting shortstop in his absence.

Anderson (groin) is expected to return to action Tuesday, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

Anderson traveled with the team during the current road trip, and manager Rick Renteria said Monday that he should be back Tuesday, the first day that he's eligible to return. The 27-year-old will return to the leadoff spot once he's back in the lineup.

Adames isn't in the lineup Monday against the Red Sox.

Adames has gone just 1-for-16 with a double, one run and eight strikeouts over the past five games. In his absence Monday, Joey Wendle will take over at shortstop and bat fifth.

Diaz (groin) participated in a batting session and executed agility work Sunday at the Astros' alternate training facility in Corpus Christi, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

There hasn't been much news about Diaz after he was placed on the 10-day injured list with a strained groin the second day of the season. He's one of a few roster regulars the Astros are missing. Yordan Alvarez (undisclosed) and George Springer (wrist) are also working back from injury.

Ahmed went 1-for-3 with a walk and a two-run home run in Sunday's 9-5 loss to the Padres.

Ahmed slugged his second long ball of the season in the ninth inning, but the game was well out of hand by then. His hard contact rate is down and groundball rate is up, but the shortstop continues to dig out of an early-season slump. Ahmed's 5-for-20 over the last six games after batting .065 over the first 10 contests.

Bichette went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Sunday against the Red Sox.

Bichette took Nathan Eovaldi deep in the sixth inning for his second home run of the season. He's been on a power surge of late, collecting two home runs and two doubles in his past four contests. Overall, he's hitting .289/.304/.511 across 46 plate appearances.
