Correa went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run Thursday against the Red Sox.

Correa got the Astros on the board in the first inning by hitting his ninth home run of the season. It was his first home run since May 19, and he has struggled at the plate of late going just 8-for-42 across his past 10 games. This home run could get him on track in what has been a relatively quiet season for him to this point.

Lindor went 4-for-5 with two home runs, two doubles, four RBI and three runs to help the Indians to a 9-8 victory over the Twins on Thursday.

Lindor hadn't left the yard in three weeks coming into this contest, but he dispatched of that lull in resounding fashion with this monster offensive effort that saw him crank home runs No. 13 and 14 of the season, and bring his slash line up to .311/.383/.579. He's firmly reestablished his status as one of the best-hitting shortstops in baseball following a slow April.

Turner went 1-for-4 with two stolen bases and two runs scored Thursday against the Braves.

Turner stole a base each time he made it aboard Thursday, raising his total to 16 on the season. After going 12-for-12 in stolen base attempts in April, Turner attempted only five stolen bases in the month of May, in part because of an increased home-run output during that span.

Gordon (toe) was activated from the 10-day disabled list prior to Thursday's game against the Rangers. He is starting at second base and hitting leadoff, according to Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle.

As expected, Gordon is back in action after a minimum stay on the disabled list with a toe fracture. He'll immediately reclaim his role as the team's everyday leadoff man and primary second baseman, with Gordon Beckham, who was filling in for Gordon at the keystone, heading to the minors in a corresponding roster move. The 30-year-old speedster, who was hitting an impressive .304/.330/.386 with 16 stolen bases across 45 games prior to landing on the shelf, will face lefty Mike Minor in his first game back.

Owings entered Wednesday's 7-4 loss to the Reds in the sixth inning as a pinch hitter and finished 2-for-2 with a pair of singles.

Owings finished the three-game series with three hits, matching his total output from his previous 14 contests combined. Though Owings seems to be turning the corner a little bit after a prolonged dry spell, it appears the utility man's woeful .190/.252/.299 season line has prompted manager Torey Lovullo to explore other options in the outfield while the Diamondbacks aim to replace A.J. Pollock (thumb) and Steven Souza (pectoral). Rather than Owings, Jarrod Dyson and Socrates Brito seem to have emerged as Lovullo's preferred starters alongside everyday left fielder David Peralta.

Camargo went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's loss to the Mets.

The 24-year-old has homered in back-to-back games, giving him four on the season, and he's also hit safely in six of his last seven contests. Camargo will need to stay hot if he wants to hang onto the starting third base job for the Braves and keep top prospect Austin Riley down at Triple-A Gwinnett, however.

Adrianza went 2-for-4 with a double, a home run and two RBI in Wednesday's 11-8 loss to the Royals.

The 28-year-old connected on his first homer of the year as part of a six-inning rally that nearly dug the Twins out of a nine-run hole, but their comeback attempt fell short. Adrianza is hitting .333 (8-for-24) over his last eight games with four doubles in addition to the home run, but his .629 career OPS makes it tough to trust that he'll be able to keep that level of production up for much longer.

Baez went 2-for-5 with an RBI in Wednesday's 2-1 loss to the Pirates.

Baez got his team on the board with an RBI single in the first inning, but the Cubs' offense fizzled from there. The 25-year-old now has a solid .271 average and .864 OPS to go along with a team-high 43 RBI.

Wendle will take a seat for Wednesday's matchup against Oakland, Juan Toribio of The Athletic Tampa Bay reports.

Wendle will get his usual day off Wednesday against a left-handed starter. Christian Arroyo will bat sixth and take over at second base with Wendle on the bench.

Castro is hitting just .140 with the Rockies this season and hasn't started since May 23.

A hot start at Triple-A earned the versatile infielder a promotion in early May, but he's done little at the plate since joining the big-league team. Castro is making contact at an 84 percent clip, but he's doing little with the balls he puts in play. The Rockies recently called up Ryan McMahon to fill in for DJ LeMahieu (thumb) at second base, so Castro appears to be relegated to a full-time bench role once again.
