Carlos Correa SS | HOU
Twins' Carlos Correa: Approaching rehab assignment
Correa (heel) jogged and participated in fielding drills Saturday, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.
Although the plantar fasciitis in Correa's right heel has lingered longer than initially expected, he said Saturday that he has started to feel much better over the past few days. Once he's able to sprint without any pain, he will head on a minor-league rehab assignment, though the Twins haven't yet provided an estimate for when that may commence.

Brett Wisely 2B | ATL
Giants' Brett Wisely: Not starting Saturday
Wisely isn't in the Giants' lineup for Saturday's game against Cincinnati, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
Wisely has gone 2-for-12 with two RBI over his past seven games, and he'll now get a chance to rest as the Giants prepare to take on Hunter Greene and the Reds. Casey Schmitt will get the nod at second and bat ninth.

David Hamilton SS | MIL
Red Sox's David Hamilton: Sitting vs. lefty
Hamilton is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's contest against Texas, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
The lefty-hitting Hamilton will begin Saturday's game on the bench with the Rangers sending southpaw Cody Bradford to the mound. Romy Gonzalez will start at second base and bat third.

Ryan Kreidler 3B | MIN
Tigers' Ryan Kreidler: Sent back to Toledo
The Tigers optioned Kreidler to Triple-A Toledo on Saturday.
Kreidler appeared in two games for the big club after being called up from Toledo on Monday, going 1-for-4 with a stolen base. For the season, he's slashing .136/.208/.205 with three stolen bases, one home run and two RBI across 48 major-league plate appearances. The move makes room on the Tigers' 26-man roster for Parker Meadows (hamstring), who was reinstated from the 10-day injured list.

Casey Schmitt SS | SF
Giants' Casey Schmitt: Pops fourth homer
Schmitt went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 3-0 win over the Reds.
Schmitt's lone hit of the game opened the scoring in the second inning, and it was all the run support Blake Snell needed in his no-hitter. Over four contests since rejoining the major-league roster, Schmitt has gone 3-for-11 with two home runs and a triple. The infielder doesn't have an immediate path to everyday playing time, especially when he has Brett Wisely and Marco Luciano to compete with in the middle infield. For the season, Schmitt is slashing .231/.255/.519 with four homers, eight RBI, eight runs scored and no stolen bases over 55 plate appearances.

Brayan Rocchio SS | CLE
Guardians' Brayan Rocchio: Registers steal in win
Rocchio went 2-for-3 with a walk, one RBI, one stolen base and one run scored in Friday's 8-4 win over the Orioles.
Rocchio has started four of the last five games, suggesting he is clawing back some playing time from Daniel Schneemann, though the Guardians have faced three southpaws in that span. Over his last seven contests, Rocchio is 5-for-19 (.263) with two extra-base hits. He's at a .211/.304/.308 slash line with four home runs, eight steals, 21 RBI and 37 runs scored over 308 plate appearances this year. Cleveland has tried a number of players at shortstop in 2024, but the position remains up for grabs.

J.P. Crawford SS | SEA
Mariners' J.P. Crawford: Takes infield practice Friday
Crawford (finger) was able to take infield practice with his one capable hand before Friday's game against the Phillies, MLB.com reports.
Crawford donned a protective cast on his injured hand and was able to get through the session without any issue. He's slated for an X-ray on Monday, which will be exactly two weeks since he suffered a fractured pinkie finger against the Angels. Crawford won't begin any sort of progression before Aug. 19, and Mariners general manager Justin Hollander labeled that timeline as "aggressive" and the earliest possible date the veteran shortstop could take that step.

Jacob Wilson SS | ATH
Athletics' Jacob Wilson: Begins light activities
Wilson (hamstring) began a light baseball progression earlier in the week that includes hitting off a tee, MLB.com reports.
The promising rookie is also playing catch up to 90 feet and doing some light jogging. Wilson remains without a timetable for return, although these latest developments spark some optimism he can be ready for activation at some point before the end of August, likely following a brief rehab assignment.

Xavier Edwards 2B | MIA
Marlins' Xavier Edwards: Two steals against Atlanta
Edwards went 2-for-4 with a run scored and two stolen bases in Friday's loss to Atlanta.
The switch hitter continues to be a terror on the basepaths, going 8-for-8 on steal attempts over the last 11 games. Edwards is also batting an absurd .447 (17-for-38) during that stretch with eight runs, eight RBI and a 7:8 BB:K, and he's cementing his spot as the Marlins' shortstop, and leadoff hitter, of the present and future.

Anthony Volpe SS | NYY
Yankees' Anthony Volpe: Remains hot Friday
Volpe went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run and a double in Friday's loss to Toronto.
Volpe took Kevin Gausman deep in the fifth inning for his 10th homer of the season. The shortstop had two additional knocks in the loss, giving him his third multi-hit performance over his past four contests. Volpe has hit safely in 13 of his past 14 games and is slashing .356/.367/.644 with four home runs, five doubles, nine RBI, 10 runs and four thefts over that span.
