The Twins have reclassified Correa's injury as a mild right intercostal strain, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

Correa was placed on the injured list earlier Saturday with what had been called an oblique strain, but the team has now altered the diagnosis based on additional imaging results. That it's being referred to as a mild strain is a positive development, although a timetable for Correa's return isn't expected to be known until late next week. With Correa out, Willi Castro started both games at shortstop during the Twins' doubleheader sweep of the Tigers on Saturday.

Diaz (calf) has begun a running program as part of his rehabilitation process, the Associated Press reports.

The veteran infielder opened the season on the 60-day injured list, so he's seemingly only in the nascent stages of his ramp-up process. Diaz could eventually require a rehab assignment of maximum length whenever he's deemed ready to test himself in game action, given how long he's been sidelined.

Anderson (illness) isn't in the Marlins' lineup for Saturday's game against Atlanta, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Anderson missed Friday's game as a result of an illness, and he is seemingly still under the weather ahead of Saturday's contest. Vidal Brujan will once again start at shortstop and bat ninth while Anderson recovers.

Betts went 1-for-6 with a three-run home run in Friday's extra-innings loss to the Padres.

Betts made the most of his only hit in the contest, smashing a 409-foot blast in the second inning to plate three runs. The long ball pushed Betts back into a tie for the major-league lead with six on the campaign. He's also tied for seventh in MLB with 14 RBI and leads the league with 20 runs scored and 16 walks.

Kim went 1-for-5 with a solo home run against the Dodgers in Friday's 8-7 extra-innings victory.

Kim hit one of four long balls for San Diego in the victory, taking Yoshinobu Yamamoto deep in the second inning. The long ball was his second of the campaign and sixth extra-base hit overall -- he also has two doubles and two triples. Kim has a modest .217/.284/.417 slash line through 67 plate appearances, but he has provided decent production with nine runs, eight RBI and four stolen bases.

Holliday is out of the lineup Saturday against the Brewers.

In his first game against a lefty (DL Hall), Holliday finds himself on the bench to begin the game. Jorge Mateo gets the start at second base, hitting ninth.

Gonzalez was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a left wrist sprain, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

Fortunately, Gonzalez avoided a fracture, but he'll still be out until at least April 21 due to the injury. Cooper Criswell, who is starting Saturday's game against the Angels, was recalled in a corresponding move. The Red Sox may have to slide Ceddanne Rafaela to second base against lefties and Pablo Reyes to shortstop, unless they are willing to play David Hamilton against same-handed pitchers.

Bichette went 1-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base in Friday's loss to the Rockies.

A couple games after launching his first homer of 2024, Bichette nabbed his first steal. The shortstop has hit safely in six straight games, batting .304 (7-for-23) during that stretch with a 3:5 BB:K and three doubles in addition to Tuesday's long ball.

Arcia went 3-for-5 with two doubles, two runs scored and an RBI in Friday's win over the Marlins.

it's the fourth time already this season that Arcia has collected three hits in a game. The shortstop is slashing .383/.431/.532 through 12 games, and while he's still looking for his first homer or steal of 2024, he has banged seven doubles while adding three RBI and seven runs scored.

Grissom (groin/hamstring) went 0-for-3 as the designated hitter for Triple-A Worcester on Friday.

Grissom kicked off a rehab assignment with the WooSox, serving as the DH for seven innings. The organization will want to see him play the field for a full nine innings and on back-to-back days before activating him from the 10-day injured list. He may not be the answer for Boston's shoddy infield defense, which has been on display since the team returned home following a successful season-opening road trip, but Grissom is expected to be an everyday member of the lineup once healthy.
