Correa (back) will be placed on the 10-day disabled list prior to Friday's game, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

This move will be backdated to Tuesday so Correa will be eligible to return from the shelf against the White Sox on July 6. The shortstop was held out of Tuesday's game after going 1-for-3 on Monday, and hasn't been able to take the field since. It doesn't appear as though he will require anything longer than the minimum stay on the DL, so expect to see him back in action next weekend. Look for Marwin Gonzalez to serve as the shortstop in his absence while Tony Kemp and Jake Marisnick earn a little more playing time in the outfield.

Correa (back) is out of the lineup Thursday against the Rays, Marc Topkin of The Tampa Bay Times reports.

Correa will sit for a third consecutive contest as he continues to deal with a stiff back. Marwin Gonzalez will start in his absence yet again. Continue to consider him day-to-day for the time being.

Crawford went 2-for-4 with a walk-off home run in Wednesday's 1-0 win over the Rockies.

Crawford's ninth-inning blast was all the offense the Giants needed in a pitchers' duel between Madison Bumgarner and Kyle Freeland. The 31-year-old is having a career year in 2018, posting a .319/.375/.507 slash line with nine homers in 76 games.

DeJong (hand) is expected to head to Des Moines and join Triple-A Memphis on Thursday after receiving medical clearance, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

DeJong is expected to receive clearance to face live pitching during his evaluation. The duration of his forthcoming minor-league rehab assignment remains to be seen, but DeJong will at least be regaining his timing at the closest level of competition to the big leagues as possible while with the Redbirds.

Correa (back) is not in the lineup against Toronto on Wednesday.

Correa will remain on the bench for a second straight day due to back stiffness. Marwin Gonzalez will man the shortstop position in his place while Tony Kemp Kemp gets a start in left field. Consider Correa day-to-day ahead of Thursday's series opener in Tampa Bay.

Baez went 4-for-5 with two home runs, a double and five RBI in Tuesday's win over the Dodgers.

Baez's offensive explosion started with a solo home run in the fifth inning before he hit a grand slam in the sixth to effectively put the game out of reach. It's been a career-best season thus far for the 25-year-old, as he's sporting a solid .276/.315/.555 slash line to go along with 16 homers and 56 RBI.

Adrianza went 2-for-3 with a home run and two RBI in Tuesday's loss to the White Sox.

Adrianza smacked a solo home run -- his fourth of the season -- in the third inning before plating another in the fifth with a single. The 28-year-old hasn't typically been much of a standout at the plate, but he's enjoying a solid June; in 63 at-bats in the month, he's slashing .270/.324/.524 with three homers and nine RBI.

Crawford went 3-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Tuesday's win over the Rockies.

Crawford's third steal of the season put him in scoring position with one out in the eighth inning, and he'd eventually come around to score the game-winning run following three walks from reliever Adam Ottavino. The 31-year-old has tallied a pair of three-hit games in his last three outings as he continues his career-best season. All three marks of his .316/.374/.496 line are currently personal bests.

Correa is being held out Tuesday with what manager A.J. Hinch is terming "back stiffness," Hunter Atkins of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Correa does not appear to be dealing with any sort of serious setback, but the sore back does leave his status day-to-day moving forward, and it could cost him further action with the Astros playing an early afternoon game Wednesday. Those hoping to include Correa in Wednesday's lineups will want to check for an update on his status when the Astros release their lineup for Wednesday's contest several hours prior to first pitch.

Correa is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Blue Jays.

Correa's numbers are slightly down from last season, but he's still hitting a very solid .268/.352/.480 with 13 homers in 73 games. Marwin Gonzalez will start at shortstop in his place.
