Carlos Correa SS | HOU
Twins' Carlos Correa: Scratched with back tightness
Correa was scratched from the lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the Athletics due to back tightness, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.
The severity of Correa's injury remains unknown, but it's apparently enough to warrant keeping him on the bench for Wednesday's contest. Brooks Lee will enter the starting nine in Correa's place, batting eighth while playing shortstop.

Jacob Wilson SS | ATH
Athletics' Jacob Wilson: Good to go Wednesday
Wilson (neck) is starting at shortstop and batting second Wednesday against the Twins, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
The 23-year-old sat out Tuesday's contest after he tweaked his neck during Monday's series opener versus Minnesota, but he'll rejoin the starting nine after missing just one game. Wilson has been on fire at the plate over the past couple weeks with a .426 average (23-for-54), four doubles, two homers, three steals, six RBI and six runs in his past 14 games.

Trey Sweeney SS | DET
Tigers' Trey Sweeney: Playing time dwindling
Sweeney is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the White Sox.
The left-handed-hitting Sweeney has now started just one of the last four games for the Tigers. The White Sox are starting a lefty opener Wednesday in Jared Shuster, but Sweeney's absence could be more about the Tigers prioritizing playing time for Zach McKinstry -- who is at shortstop Wednesday -- and Javier Baez.

Bryce Rainer SS | DET
Tigers' Bryce Rainer: Suffers shoulder injury Tuesday
Rainer was removed Tuesday from Single-A Lakeland's 4-3 win over Daytona after injuring his right shoulder while diving back to first base on a pickoff attempt, Lynn Henning of The Detroit News reports.
Rainer was spotted after the game with his arm in a sling, so the 19-year-old looks as though he could be at risk of landing on Lakeland's injured list. The injury is unfortunate timing for Rainer, who had been building a strong case for a promotion to High-A West Michigan. The young shortstop has slashed .288/.383/.448 with five home runs, nine stolen bases and a 22.1 percent strikeout rate in 149 plate appearances in the Florida State League.

Jacob Wilson SS | ATH
Athletics' Jacob Wilson: Expected back in lineup Wednesday
Wilson (neck) is expected to return to the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins, MLB.com reports.
Wilson had to sit out Tuesday's contest after tweaking his neck on a dive back into first base during Monday's game. He felt much better by the end of the night Tuesday and it appears it will be just a one-day absence for the rookie shortstop.

Anthony Volpe SS | NYY
Yankees' Anthony Volpe: Swats key homer Tuesday
Volpe went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Monday's 3-2 win over Cleveland.
Volpe went deep in the seventh inning to give New York a 3-1 lead. The insurance run proved to be significant, as the Guardians scored once in the ninth but were unable to come all the way back from the deficit. Volpe's long ball snapped a 17-game homerless streak during which he batted just .226 over 62 at-bats, though he did knock in nine runs and log eight extra-base hits (six doubles and two triples) during the power drought. The shortstop has seven homers, seven steals, 34 RBI and a .760 OPS through 58 games on the season.

Bobby Witt SS | KC
Royals' Bobby Witt: Racks up four RBI in multi-hit game
Witt went 2-for-4 with a home run, four RBI, a walk and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 10-7 win over the Cardinals.
It was a strong bounce-back effort by Witt, who had gone just 6-for-36 over his previous nine games. Tuesday also marked his first multi-hit outing since May 21, and the All-Star shortstop is now slashing .287/.346/.494 with seven home runs, 22 doubles, 35 RBI and 20 stolen bases over 266 plate appearances in 2025. Witt trails only Luis Robert in steals in the American League so far.

Jacob Wilson SS | ATH
Athletics' Jacob Wilson: Sitting Tuesday
Wilson isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Twins.
After going 8-for-18 with two RBI and a run scored during his four-game hitting streak, Wilson will grab a seat on the bench Tuesday while Max Schuemann starts at shortstop.

Sebastian Walcott SS | TEX
Rangers' Sebastian Walcott: Accessing power with regularity
Walcott is slashing .269/.333/.612 with six home runs, five doubles, four steals and a 17.3 percent strikeout rate over his last 16 games for Double-A Frisco.
The Bahamian phenom is the youngest active player at Double-A and understandably got off to a modest start to the year, but he's accessing his huge raw power with regularity over the past few weeks. Walcott is slashing .249/.341/.449 with eight home runs, 11 steals, an 11.2 percent walk rate and a 22 percent strikeout rate in 47 games for the RoughRiders and he doesn't turn 20 until spring training next year.
