Correa will sit Monday against the Cubs, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Correa played every game in April and sits for just the second time in May. He's bounced back from a poor 2018 campaign to hit .295/.360/.547 through 50 games. Alex Bregman slides over to shortstop in his absence.

Diaz (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Diaz left Sunday's game against the Red Sox with left hamstring discomfort and will now sit for at least 10 days. Jack Mayfield will replace him on the roster and will temporarily be the starting second baseman, though Jose Altuve is just days away from returning from a hamstring injury of his own.

Fletcher contributed to a victory over Texas on Sunday by going 3-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored.

Fletcher's trio of singles extended his hitting streak to five games and raised his average to a healthy .310 on the season. It was his fourth three-hit game of 2019 and second in the last five games. After opening the season in a reserve role, he continues to thrive as an everyday starter.

Correa went 1-for-3 with an RBI and a walk in Sunday's loss to Boston.

Correa kicked off the scoring in this one with an RBI single to left field, though it was the Red Sox who would emerge victorious. He's slashing .295/.360/.547 with 11 homers and 35 RBI over 50 games in 2019.

Seager went 1-for-4 with a home run, two RBI, a walk and two runs scored Sunday against the Pirates.

Seager left the yard in the second inning with a solo shot, and he plated another run in the fifth on a fielder's choice. The 25-year-old has reached base safely in four of his last five contests, driving in five runs over that stretch.

Diaz will likely require a stint on the 10-day injured list after departing Sunday's game against Boston with left hamstring discomfort, Julia Morales of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.

Diaz dealt with a hamstring issue nearly a week ago and it caused him to miss three games, so the Astros are expected to place him on the 10-day injured list in an effort to ensure the injury doesn't linger further into the season. Assuming Diaz does get sent to the shelf, look for Yuli Gurriel and Tony Kemp to benefit in terms of playing time at second base, at least until Jose Altuve recovers from his own hamstring strain.

Gordon underwent a second opinion on his bruised right wrist Saturday, but the Mariners have yet to provide an update on his condition, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

The team should provide additional word on Gordon's condition Monday, when Seattle kicks off its homestand with a series against the Rangers. Should Gordon's injury prove more significant than originally thought, Shed Long could be in store for an extended run as the Mariners' everyday second baseman.

Diaz was diagnosed with left hamstring discomfort after exiting Sunday's game against the Red Sox in the bottom of the first inning, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Diaz aggravated the injury he suffered about a week ago, which resulted in him missing three games. The Astros will likely take a similarly cautious approach with Diaz this time around, potentially opening the door for Yuli Gurriel or Tony Kemp to see more time at the keystone. Once he's healthy again, Diaz could be headed back into a full-time utility role with everyday second baseman Jose Altuve (hamstring) trending toward a mid-week return from the 10-day injured list.

Diaz exited Sunday's game against the Red Sox after the first inning due to an apparent hamstring injury, Hunter Atkins of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Diaz singled in his lone at-bat and came around to score the Astros' first run, but looked to have tweaked his hamstring while crossing home plate. Tyler White entered the game in Diaz's stead, stepping in at first base while Yuli Gurriel shifted over to the keystone. The Astros should provide an update on Diaz's condition later in the day.

Herrera remains out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals, David Wilson of the Miami Herald reports.

Herrera appeared to capture primary center-field duties earlier in the month, but his middling production at the dish prevented him from running away with the full-time job. Harold Ramirez has since passed him in the pecking order, as Herrera will come off the bench for the eighth time in the Marlins' last nine games.
