  • Brayan Rocchio SS | CLE

    Guardians' Brayan Rocchio: Getting night off

    Rocchio is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles.

    Rocchio will get a rest Wednesday after he started in each of the Guardians' last five games while going 5-for-15 with two walks against one strikeout. With Rocchio on the bench, Gabriel Arias will shift over from second base to shortstop, opening up the keystone for Daniel Schneemann.

  • Carlos Correa SS | HOU

    Twins' Carlos Correa: Could be available off bench

    Twins manager Rocco Baldelli indicated that Correa (wrist) could be available off the bench Wednesday versus the Mets, LaVelle E. Neal III of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune reports.

    There's no word yet on the results of the MRI on Correa's left wrist, but the fact that he might be available to enter mid-game suggests Baldelli isn't overly concerned about his shortstop's health. Correa was lifted for a pinch hitter in Tuesday's contest with soreness in his wrist after fouling off a pitch. Consider him day-to-day.

  • Zachary Neto SS | LAA

    Angels' Zach Neto: Season debut coming soon

    Neto (shoulder) could be activated from the 10-day injured list as soon as Thursday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

    Neto played a full game with Triple-A Salt Lake on Tuesday and hit his fourth home run in what was his 12th rehab contest. He's slated for another nine full innings with Salt Lake on Wednesday. The Angels finish up a road trip in Texas on Thursday, so it seems likelier that they'll wait until their homestand -- which begins Friday -- before activating Neto. Sunday is the final day of Neto's 20-day rehab window, so the latest he'll be activated is likely Tuesday versus the Pirates.

    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.

    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.

    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.

  • Nick Ahmed SS | TEX

    Rangers' Nick Ahmed: Back with Texas on MiLB deal

    The Rangers re-signed Ahmed to a minor-league contract Tuesday, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.

    Ahmed spent the spring with the Rangers before he was let go March 22. The veteran infielder has been working out in Arizona and will join one of Texas' minor-league affiliates in the coming days.

  • Jeremy Pena SS | HOU

    Astros' Jeremy Pena: Clubs third homer

    Pena went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run Monday in a loss to the Cardinals.

    Houston was nearly shut out, but Pena helped the team avoid that outcome with a three-run blast in the ninth inning. The long ball was his third of the campaign and his first since April 3. The knock also extended Pena's modest hitting streak to six games, during which he' s batted .304 (7-for-23).

  • Bobby Witt SS | KC

    Royals' Bobby Witt: Goes deep in loss

    Witt went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's loss to the Yankees.

    Witt opened the game's scoring with a solo blast in the third inning. It was his second home run of the year and first since April 5. Despite the relative lack of power so far, Witt owns a strong .317/.397/.508 slash line with 11 runs scored through 17 games.

  • Trevor Story SS | BOS

    Red Sox's Trevor Story: Swats third homer

    Story went 3-for-4 with a home run, a double and three RBI in Sunday's win over the White Sox.

    Story opened the game's scoring with a two-run double in the sixth inning and tacked on an insurance run with his solo shot in the ninth. He had just one extra-base hit in eight games since his last home run April 4. The veteran shortstop looks more like his vintage self with a strong .308/.328/.477 slash line through 67 plate appearances.
