  • Carlos Correa SS | HOU

    Astros' Carlos Correa: Could miss time

    Correa's rib injury may sideline him for the next couple weeks according to general manager Jeff Luhnow, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

    It's not clear if Luhnow was referring to a precise timeline for Correa. The shortstop is visiting a doctor Tuesday to determine the extent of his injury. Luhnow did downplay the idea that Correa's injury would be a long-term one, but a trip to the injured list does appear likely.

    Astros' Carlos Correa: Sits for second straight game

    Correa remains on the bench Tuesday against the Cubs, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

    There have yet to be reports of an injury, but it would be quite surprising if Correa wasn't at least dealing with something minor. Jack Mayfield starts at shortstop in his absence.

  • Nick Ahmed SS | TEX

    Diamondbacks' Nick Ahmed: Homers in loss

    Ahmed went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Monday's 4-3 extra-innings loss to the Rockies.

    Ahmed's seventh-inning homer, his fourth of the season, gave Arizona breathing room but the bullpen couldn't hold the lead. The shortstop has hit in five straight, going 10-for-21 (.476) to raise his average to .273.

  • Orlando Arcia SS | MIN

    Brewers' Orlando Arcia: Cracks clutch homer

    Arcia went 2-for-3 with a double, a two-run home run, three RBI and two runs scored in Monday's win over the Twins.

    Arcia doubled home a run in the third inning to get Milwaukee into the scoring column, and he came up big with a two-run blast in the eighth to propel his team ahead 5-4. The 24-year-old shortstop has been in a groove at the dish of late, reaching base safely in four of his last five contests. He's registered four extra-base hits and seven RBI over that stretch.

  • David Fletcher 2B | ATL

    Angels' David Fletcher: Stays hot at dish

    Fletcher went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI and two runs scored Monday against the Athletics.

    Fletcher doubled home a run in the sixth inning, cutting the Angels' deficit to two runs. He's evidently been seeing the baseball well of late, as he's now pieced together a modest six-game hitting streak. Fletcher is 11-for-23 with three extra-base hits and three RBI over that stretch.

  • Mariners' Dee Gordon: Dealing with deep bone bruise

    Gordon has a deep bone bruise on his wrist but no fracture, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.

    A specialist confirmed that Gordon avoided the worst-case scenario, but his timeline remains unclear. He's not expected to pick up a bat for at least a few more days. Shed Long remains the primary second baseman in his absence.

  • Trevor Story SS | BOS

    Rockies' Trevor Story: Not in Monday's lineup

    Story is not in Monday's lineup against the Diamondbacks, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

    Story will get a rare day off Monday, with Brendan Rodgers getting the nod at shortstop instead. Story has gotten off to another strong start this season, hitting .270/.338/.507 across 234 plate appearances while also recording 13 home runs and eight stolen bases. He should be back in the lineup for Tuesday's action.

  • Joey Wendle 2B | ATL

    Rays' Joey Wendle: Hits and plays catch

    Wendle (wrist) played catch and hit off a tee Monday, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

    Wendle is gradually working his way back from a broken wrist he suffered in late April. His initial timeline, which had him returning in mid-June, still appears to be the target, as the Rays have yet to give an updated plan.

  • Tim Anderson 2B | LAA

    White Sox's Tim Anderson: Still battling wrist issue

    Anderson (wrist) remains out of the lineup for the third straight game Monday against the Royals, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

    Anderson was listed as a starter initially in each of the previous two games before eventually being scratched, but he's on the bench from the beginning on this occasion. Jose Rondon remains the shortstop in his absence. Per Scott Merkin of MLB.com, Anderson's wrist continues to improve, but he's not counting on returning Tuesday.
