Carlos Correa SS | HOU
Twins' Carlos Correa: Could be available off bench
Twins manager Rocco Baldelli indicated that Correa (wrist) could be available off the bench Wednesday versus the Mets, LaVelle E. Neal III of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune reports.
There's no word yet on the results of the MRI on Correa's left wrist, but the fact that he might be available to enter mid-game suggests Baldelli isn't overly concerned about his shortstop's health. Correa was lifted for a pinch hitter in Tuesday's contest with soreness in his wrist after fouling off a pitch. Consider him day-to-day.

C.J. Abrams SS | WAS
Nationals' CJ Abrams: Runs on field Tuesday
Abrams (hip) did some running on the field Tuesday, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.
Abrams has also hit in the batting cage and is "definitely making good progress," per Nationals manager Dave Martinez. There is optimism Abrams will be ready for activation when first eligible April 22, but he'll first need to show he can make lateral movements at shortstop without discomfort in his right hip.

Cardinals' Masyn Winn: On pace for activation Tuesday
Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said Wednesday that Winn (back) is "on pace" to be activated from the 10-day injured list when first eligible Tuesday, John Denton of MLB.com reports.
Winn has begun hitting in the batting cage and playing catch as he ramps up his baseball activities. He will remain in St. Louis this weekend to continue rehabbing while the Cardinals head out on a road trip. The Cardinals begin a series in Atlanta on Monday and Winn could be activated ahead of the second game of that series Tuesday.

Tommy Troy SS | ARI
Diamondbacks' Tommy Troy: Strong start at Double-A
Troy is hitting .400 with more walks (12) than strikeouts (nine), a home run and a stolen base through 50 plate appearances for Double-A Amarillo.
Troy was destined to put up a strong stat line while playing half his games in the very hitter-friendly park in Amarillo, but his control of the zone stands out through his first 10 games at Double-A. He had an injury-riddled first half last year but finished strong with an .822 OPS, four homers and nine steals in his final 33 games at High-A before logging an .864 OPS in the Arizona Fall League.

Zachary Neto SS | LAA
Angels' Zach Neto: Season debut coming soon
Neto (shoulder) could be activated from the 10-day injured list as soon as Thursday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Neto played a full game with Triple-A Salt Lake on Tuesday and hit his fourth home run in what was his 12th rehab contest. He's slated for another nine full innings with Salt Lake on Wednesday. The Angels finish up a road trip in Texas on Thursday, so it seems likelier that they'll wait until their homestand -- which begins Friday -- before activating Neto. Sunday is the final day of Neto's 20-day rehab window, so the latest he'll be activated is likely Tuesday versus the Pirates.

Nick Allen SS | HOU
Braves' Nick Allen: Getting afternoon off
Allen is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays.
Allen had started each of Atlanta's last four games and appears to have overtaken Orlando Arcia as the team's primary shortstop, though the latter will get the start Wednesday in a day game after a night game. Over 38 plate appearances on the season, Allen is hitting .306 and has stolen four bases in five attempts, though a .407 BABIP has helped prop up his batting average.

Carlos Correa SS | HOU
Twins' Carlos Correa: Won't start Wednesday
Correa (wrist) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets.
After fouling off a pitch during his third plate appearance of the night in the fifth inning of Tuesday's 6-3 win, Correa was seen shaking his left hand in discomfort and was visited on the field by manager Rocco Baldelli and a team trainer. Following a brief conversation, Correa was lifted for a pinch hitter, and the Twins relayed afterward that he was dealing with a sore left wrist. He'll sit out Wednesday's series finale and will undergo an MRI as the Twins look to glean more information regarding the extent of the injury. Willi Castro will fill in for Correa at shortstop Wednesday, opening up a spot in the starting nine at third base for Brooks Lee.

Masyn Winn SS | STL
Cardinals' Masyn Winn: Begins baseball activities
Winn (back) played catch Tuesday, Daniel Guerrero of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Winn was cleared to begin baseball activities four days after landing on the 10-day injured list with lower-back spasms. A target date for his return should become available as he continues to ramp things up. Brendan Donovan and Thomas Saggese have been handling shortstop for the Cardinals with Winn out.

Geraldo Perdomo SS | ARI
Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo: Cracks homer in win
Perdomo went 1-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in Tuesday's 10-4 win over Marlins.
After Corbin Carroll doubled home the first run of Arizona's four-run second inning, Perdomo capped it with a three-run blast deep to right field. It was the shortstop's third homer through 17 games, matching last season's total over 98 games, and he's halfway to the career-high six he hit in 2023 (144 games). Perdomo leads Arizona with 16 RBI.

Carlos Correa SS | HOU
Twins' Carlos Correa: Set for MRI on wrist
Correa, who left Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Mets with a sore left wrist, is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Wednesday, Matthew Leach of MLB.com reports. "The wrist is something I've been working on since spring," Correa said. "Just strengthening it, and I just felt a tweak on the swing and miss and then when I hit the foul ball, I felt pain in the area. It shouldn't be anything too serious."
Correa appears unlikely to play in Wednesday's series finale due to the injury. More information about his status will be known when the MRI results are disclosed, but the fact that his wrist issue dates back to last season is worrisome.
