Crawford (finger) is in Sunday's lineup against the Padres.

Crawford missed four games with a dislocated pinkie but is back in action Sunday. He'll start at shortstop and hit seventh against Clayton Richard. Crawford had gone just 5-for-24 (.208) over his last seven games prior to getting injured.

Sardinas is not in Sunday's lineup against the Giants.

Sardinas will give way to Adam Rosales at shortstop, who will hit fifth Sunday afternoon. The club has Monday off, so look for Sardinas to return for Tuesday's series opener against the Dodgers.

Turner is out of Sunday's lineup against the Pirates, Dan Kolko of the Mid-Atlantic Sports Network reports.

After clinching the NL East on Saturday, Turner will have Sunday off. He has an impressive .336 batting average for the season but has gone just 7-for-31 (.226) over the last seven games. With Turner out, Ben Revere will start in center field and hit leadoff.

Crawford (finger) remains out of the lineup Saturday, CSN Bay Area's Alex Pavlovic reports.

He was doubtful to play Saturday, so this comes as no surprise. It sounds as though he has been progressing with his recovery, so he should be expected back in the coming days. Ehire Adrianza will start at shortstop again and bat eighth Saturday.

Correa (shoulder) is in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Angels, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

An ill-fated diving attempt at shortstop Friday resulted in an injury to Correa's left shoulder, the same one that cost him time earlier this month, but the 22-year-old won't even miss a start. Correa has posted just a .677 OPS this month, but his second-half line still sits at .290/.371/.451.

Correa prematurely exited Friday's game against the Angels with an injury to his left shoulder, Jerry Crasnick of ESPN reports.

Correa suffered the injury while diving for a ball in the field. Worse yet, it's the same shoulder that caused him to miss four games earlier in the month with inflammation. If he's forced to miss further time, Marwin Gonzalez or Colin Moran may fill in at short.

Crawford (finger) is considered doubtful for Saturday, Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

It sounds like Sunday is the earliest we could see Crawford, who suffered a dislocated left pinkie during Tuesday's game. He did some throwing Thursday and took dry swings Friday, so he's moving in the right direction and appears primed to contribute over the final week of the regular season.

Crawford (finger) remains out of the lineup Friday in San Diego.

He will miss his third game in a row after dislocating the pinkie finger on his glove hand. It sounds like he is steadily improving, and it would not be surprising if he returned at some point during this weekend's series. Ehire Adrianza will get the start at shortstop and hit eighth in Crawford's place Friday.

Wendle is out of the lineup Friday against the Rangers.

He had started the last eight games for the A's at second base, but is out of the lineup in favor of Chad Pinder on Friday. In those eight games, Wendle hit .294/.342/.382 with one home run in 38 plate appearances. He should be able to compete to be Oakland's starting second baseman next year in spring training.

Gordon is not in the lineup Friday against the Braves, Andre Fernandez of the Miami Herald reports.

Gordon has started the Marlins' past 16 games, so it seems that manager Don Mattingly thought it was time that the speedster got a day off. Derek Dietrich will fill in at the keystone in his stead.
