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.

Cardinals' Masyn Winn: Begins baseball activities
Winn (back) played catch Tuesday, Daniel Guerrero of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

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.

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.

Carlos Correa SS | HOU
Twins' Carlos Correa: Pulled with wrist injury
Correa was removed from Tuesday's game against the Mets due to left wrist soreness, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Correa was favoring his left hand/wrist after taking a swing in the fifth inning, and he had to leave the game without finishing his at-bat. If the 30-year-old infielder ends up needing to miss any amount of time, Brooks Lee would be next in line for more starts at shortstop.

Cubs' Vidal Brujan: Returns from IL
The Cubs reinstated Brujan (elbow) from the injured list Tuesday, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.
Brujan has been on the injured list all season due to a sprained right elbow. He began a rehab assignment Thursday, going 4-for-13 with a stolen base in three games at Triple-A Iowa. Now fully healthy, the 27-year-old will replace Matt Shaw on the active roster and give the Cubs additional depth at nearly every position.

Nick Allen SS | HOU
Braves' Nick Allen: Swipes fourth bag
Allen went 1-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base in Monday's win over the Blue Jays.
The 26-year-old continues to make his case to be Atlanta's starting shortstop ahead of Orlando Arcia. Allen is batting .313 (10-for-32) through 10 games with four steals in four attempts, while Arcia is batting just .208 (5-for-24) in his seven outings.

Dodgers' Mookie Betts: Ends power drought Monday
Betts went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, an additional run, a double and a walk in Monday's 5-3 win against Colorado.
Betts got the Dodgers off to a fast start with a two-run home run in the first inning. The long ball was the star shortstop's fourth of the campaign, but his first since April 1 -- a span of 10 games. Betts was able to reach base at a steady clip even during the power drought, and he's posted a standout .304/.400/.554 slash line so far this season.
