Correa went 1-for-2 with a walk and a two-run homer in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Rangers.

The shortstop has been stuck in a rut lately, hitting .194 (7-for-36) since the calendar flipped to May, but Correa does have two homers, six RBI and five runs in 10 games this month. His overall .295/.380/.511 slash line remains strong, but the 23-year-old showed in 2017 that his ceiling is much higher than that.

Seager (elbow) was transferred to the 60-day disabled list Saturday.

The move has no effect on Seager's timeline, as he's already out for the year after undergoing Tommy John surgery. By clearing a spot on the 40-man roster, the Dodgers were able to select the contract of reliever Pat Venditte.

Diaz (ankle) has resumed throwing and will begin hitting next week, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Diaz was placed on the disabled list earlier this week after leaving Sunday's contest in Tampa Bay due to a left ankle sprain. After taking a few days off to rest, Diaz is back on the field and is set to participate in some running and hitting drills early next week. The Blue Jays have yet to describe a specific timetable for his return, but he will be eligible to come off the DL on Friday.

Arcia went 2-for-3 with two RBI, a run, a stolen base and two walks in Friday's victory over the Rockies.

Arcia got on base just three times in the six games prior to Friday's, but he was able to better that number in just one night, reaching first base four times for the first time this season. Arcia owns just a .577 OPS for the season, but he has been far better so far in May, hitting .333/.400/.370 in 30 plate appearances over nine games.

Baez will bat atop the order and play third base versus the White Sox on Saturday.

Baez will lead off for the the first time this season and the seventh time in his career. He marks the sixth different player to serve out of the top spot for the Cubs over the first seven weeks of the year. Over 34 games, he's slashing .278/.317/.617 with 10 home runs and 34 RBI.

Bogaerts went 1-for-4 with a solo homer in Friday's 5-3 extra-innings loss to the Blue Jays.

The fourth-inning blast was Bogaerts' fourth home run of the season, as well as his first in May. He hasn't quite been able to regain his pre-injury form at the plate, but the 25-year-old still has a strong .296/.328/.481 slash line in 13 games since coming off the disabled list.

Story went 1-for-4 with a triple and four RBI in Friday's extra-inning loss to the Brewers.

It was Story's third triple on the season, as well as his 17th extra-base hit. While Story's .223 batting average is a bit low, his eight home runs and 28 RBI both fall within the top five among MLB shortstops. It also bears mentioning that he's 7-for-7 in stolen-base attempts.

DeJong went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run and four RBI to help the Cardinals to a 9-5 victory over the Padres on Friday.

DeJong was in a slump to start the month of May but he seems to have snapped out of it as he now has multi-hit efforts in three of his past four games including his eighth homer of the year on Friday. The recent hot streak has pumped his average back up to .263 and his OPS to .834, so he'll look to keep riding that momentum as he looks to replicate his fantastic offensive showing from last year that saw him OPS .857 over 417 at-bats.

Gordon (toe) is back in the lineup in center field and batting atop the order for Friday's game against Detroit, Ryan Divish of the Seattle Times reports.

Gordon was held out of Thursday's game due to a bruised big toe after suffering the injury earlier in the week on a foul ball. It doesn't appear as though this was an overly serious injury, and the speedy outfielder likely won't miss any additional time.

Camargo went 2-for-3 with two walks and two runs scored in Thursday's win over the Marlins.

Hitting eighth in front of the pitcher resulted in Camargo getting pitched around, but he was able to capitalize when he did see offerings in the strike zone. The 24-year-old had gone 2-for-21 (.095) over his prior seven contests, but walks have helped keep his OBP afloat -- he now has a .220/.360/.463 slash line on the season with two homers, nine RBI and seven runs in 16 games.
