Correa (thumb) is scheduled to play shortstop for Triple-A Fresno on Tuesday and Wednesday, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

Correa has already appeared in three games for Fresno, going 2-for-9 (.222) with a pair of RBI. If all goes well playing back-to-back days, Correa could find himself back with the Astros over the weekend, though an activation before rosters expand on Friday has been ruled out, according to Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle.

Turner (wrist) was officially activated from the 60-day DL on Tuesday and is leading off and starting at shortstop against the Marlins, Jorge Castillo of The Washington Post reports.

It had already been confirmed that Turner was on track to be activated, and the Nationals waste no time deploying him back atop the lineup. With a little over a month left in the season, Turner still has plenty of time to make a significant impact in all five roto categories -- most notably steals and runs. He hit .279/.324/.422 with seven home runs and 35 steals in 68 games prior to suffering the injury.

Lindor won't play Tuesday after the Indians' game against the Yankees was postponed due to rain, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

The two teams will make up Tuesday's contest as part of a doubleheader Wednesday. Lindor went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in the series opener Monday, ending a four-game hit streak in which he had supplied three home runs and six RBI.

Crawford went 2-for-4 with his 12th home run of the season in Monday's 3-0 win over San Diego.

Crawford returned to the lineup with a bang after receiving a maintenance day Sunday. He has quietly put up a solid month of August with three homers and 11 RBI to complement a .294/.368/.471 slash line.

Ahmed (hand) suffered a fractured wrist when he was hit by a pitch during a rehab game with Triple-A Reno on Sunday, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports. He'll be sidelined for 6-to-8 weeks with the injury, effectively spelling the end of his season.

This is extremely unfortunate luck for Ahmed, who was due to return in a matter of days while rehabbing a fractured hand before this pitch broke his same-side wrist. Even if the Diamondbacks are able to make a deep postseason run and Ahmed heals as expected, the lack of regular at-bats he's received since late June could make the team reluctant to activate him.

Turner (wrist) will return to the Nationals on Tuesday, Jorge Castillo of The Washington Post reports.

Turner struggled during his rehab assignment, as he went just 2-for-21 over seven games. His performance is less important than how his wrist felt after those games, though, and Turner is apparently feeling good enough to make his way back to the majors. The Nationals will be able to work Turner back slowly, as Wilmer Difo has performed admirably in his absence, but Turner's line-drive ability, baserunning and defense are too good to leave on the bench down the stretch. Expect an official roster move to be made sometime Tuesday, as the Nationals will need to clear a 40-man roster spot to get Turner off the 60-day DL.

Featherston was designated for assignment Monday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

With room needed on the 40-man roster for the now-healthy Matt Andriese, Featherston was the casualty. Featherston has spent most of his 2017 season at Triple-A Durham, where he's hit .270 with a .764 OPS over 46 games.

Camargo (knee) is expected to join the Braves in a week after completing a brief minor-league rehab assignment, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports,

Camargo is scheduled to take a few days of batting practice down in Florida before finishing out the minor-league season on a rehab assignment. Barring any setbacks during his brief rehab stint, Camargo should be activated in the first week of September. Dansby Swanson has taken advantage of increased playing time in his absence, so it's unclear whether Camargo will reclaim his role as Atlanta's everyday shortstop once he returns.

Ahmed (hand) went 1-for-2 with a home run and three RBI in a rehab game for Triple-A Reno on Sunday.

After delivering a two-run blast in the third inning, Ahmed was hit by a pitch in the fourth inning and was replaced by a pinch runner. There haven't been any reports that Ahmed reinjured the fractured right hand he's spent the last two months recovering from, so it's possible that he was just pulled early from the contest for precautionary purposes. Ahmed had played eight innings at shortstop a night earlier, so his entry into the lineup on back-to-back days suggests he could be activated from the 60-day disabled list as soon as Tuesday's series opener against the Dodgers.

Lindor went 2-for-3 with a walk, a home run, and two RBI in Sunday's win against the Royals.

Lindor has been spectacular at the plate recently. He hit his 24th homer of the season Sunday and has now collected five home runs since Aug. 20 (eight games). While Lindor has enjoyed a surge of power this season, his batting average (.270) leaves a bit to be desired after he finished each of his first two seasons with a mark above .300.
