Correa isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Kansas City.

Correa went 2-for-4 with a homer and two runs scored in his return from the injured list Friday, but the Twins will keep him on the bench Saturday to ease him back into action from his concussion. Brooks Lee will get the nod at shortstop and bat third.

Wilson will start Saturday's game against the Rangers, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

The 27-year-old will be taking the place of Jonathan Cannon, who was scratched from his start due to lower-back tightness. Wilson hasn't pitched in a game since May 15, and he owns a 6.00 ERA and 1.79 WHIP through 33 innings this season.

Cannon was scratched from his scheduled start Saturday against the Rangers due to lower-back tightness, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

The White Sox are currently listing Cannon as day-to-day, so there seems to be a chance he avoids spending time on the injured list. Bryse Wilson will take Cannon's place on the mound Saturday against a Rangers offense that owns the fourth-worst OPS in the majors (.651).

Jeffers isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Royals.

Jeffers has slashed .391/.481/.609 with a homer, two RBI and four runs scored during his six-game hitting streak, but he'll head to the bench for Saturday's contest while Christian Vazquez starts behind the dish.

Isbel was scratched from the lineup ahead of Saturday's game against Minnesota with an illness.

While Isbel takes the day off to recover, Drew Waters will move to center field, opening up right field for Mark Canha.

DeLuca (shoulder) began a rehab assignment in the Florida Complex League on Saturday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

A strained right shoulder sent DeLuca to the injured list April 8, and a late-April setback delayed his recovery. He's now been cleared to return to a competitive environment and will likely require a rehab assignment that extends into June.

Laureano (ankle) isn't in the lineup for the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against Boston, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Laureano hasn't played since tweaking his left ankle Tuesday. He's expected to return to action soon and may still play during the nightcap, but it will be Heston Kjerstad starting in right field to begin Saturday's festivities.

Bregman (quad) is scheduled to undergo imaging Saturday, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

Bregman was removed from Friday's game due to right quad tightness and is not in the lineup for the first game of Saturday's doubleheader. Nick Sogard is starting at third base in the afternoon game.

Sogard will start at third base in the afternoon game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Orioles, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

Sogard steps in for Alex Bregman, who was removed from Friday's contest with right quad tightness. It's unclear if Bregman could be available for the second game of the doubleheader, or if manager Alex Cora will make do with Sogard or another body.

Newcomb allowed an earned run on one hit and two walks over two innings of relief Wednesday in the Red Sox's 5-1 loss to the Mets.

Newcomb claimed a spot in the Boston rotation coming out of spring training but has been working exclusively out of the bullpen since late April after turning in a 4.43 ERA, 1.93 WHIP and 27:11 K:BB in 22.1 innings over his five starts. His results over the past month as a reliever have been only marginally better (3.06 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 14:5 K:BB in 17.2 innings over six appearances), but Newcomb could nonetheless find himself in the mix for a spot start or bulk-relief appearance in the near future. As a result of postponements Thursday and Friday, the Red Sox will begin a stretch of six games in five days Saturday and will need to break in a temporary sixth starter at some point.
