Baez went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double and two runs scored in Saturday's 9-1 win over the Diamondbacks.

Baez continued his torrid pace to begin the season, as he's now batting .333 with a 1.045 OPS and 23 runs scored. The Cubs' lineup can be awfully dynamic, and that should only help Baez produce elite counting stats the rest of the year.

Correa went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer in a 4-3 win over the Indians on Saturday.

Correa came through at the plate Saturday in a game in which the Astros registered only five hits. The 24-year-old is in the midst of a nine-game hitting streak in which he is 11-for-39 with four home runs.

Gordon is not in the lineup Saturday against Texas.

Gordon is hitting just .205 with one steal in his last 13 games. Dylan Moore will start at second base in his place.

Owings is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Angels.

Kelvin Gutierrez will make his major-league debut Saturday, leaving Owings as the odd man out of the lineup. The 27-year-old has gone 1-for-19 in his last five games, scoring only once during that time. In Owings' absence, Whit Merrifield will shift to second base, batting in the leadoff spot.

Lindor is not starting Saturday against Houston, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

Lindor started six straight games after returning from the injured list but will now get a day off. He hit .259 in those six games but already has three homers. Mike Freeman starts at shortstop in his absence.

Lindor went 2-for-5 with two home runs and three RBI in Friday's 6-3 win over the Astros.

His third-inning solo shot off Collin McHugh got Cleveland on the board, and then Lindor supplied some insurance runs in the ninth with a two-run blast off Josh James. The shortstop is now slashing .259/.259/.593 with three homers in six games since his return from the injured list.

Anderson went 4-for-6 with a home run, a double, two RBI, three runs scored and a stolen base Friday night against the Tigers.

Anderson cut the deficit to four runs in the sixth with a double to left, and he walked it off in the bottom of the ninth with a solo homer to left. The 25-year-old has been clicking at the dish of late and now owns a seven-game hitting streak heading into Saturday's matchup.

Swanson is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Rockies.

Swanson heads to the bench after starting the last nine games and going 8-for-34 with one home run and three RBI. Johan Camargo will start at shortstop and bat sixth in his absence.

Bichette will be sidelined 4-to-6 weeks but won't require surgery on his fractured left hand, Gregor Chisholm of MLB.com reports.

Bichette sustained the broken hand during Triple-A Buffalo's game on Monday as he was hit by a fastball up and in. The highly touted prospect still could make his major-league debut at some point this season, but is now likely sidelined through the end of May.

Turner now has a 4-to-8 week timetable to return from his broken finger, Dan Kolko of MASN Sports reports.

Turner had an estimated 4-to-6 week timetable when he suffered the injury, though nothing had come from the team directly. May 1 will be the end of four weeks and, according to GM Mike Rizzo, Turner will be evaluated at that point to determine when he can return. Given the vagueness of Rizzo's estimate, it's possible Turner isn't back in the lineup until late May.
