MLB Player News

Adrianza is in Thursday's lineup at shortstop batting eighth in the order, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Adrianza is 1-for-5 so far this season as Minnesota's only reserve infielder. He gets a rare start to give Eduardo Escobar a day off.

Wendle is not in Thursday's lineup against the Red Sox, Marc Topkin of The Tampa Bay Times reports.

Wendle will retreat to the bench with southpaw David Price taking the mound for Boston. Daniel Robertson will draw the start at the keystone and bat eighth.

Diaz (back) is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Diaz was removed from Tuesday's game due to back spasms and will remain sidelined for the series finale while Gift Ngoepe fills in at short. Looking ahead, Diaz will receive another day off due to Toronto's scheduled break Thursday before the clubs begins a series against the Rangers. Consider Diaz day-to-day for the time being.

Gordon went 3-for-5 with a pair of stolen bases and a run in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Giants.

It was the quintessential line for a quintessential leadoff hitter, and it extended Gordon's season-opening hitting streak to a modest four games. The 29-year-old dynamo already has a pair of multi-hit outings as well during that stretch, while his two swipes broke the ice in that category for him in 2018. Fantasy owners and the Mariners alike undoubtedly hope that Tuesday's production is a microcosm of what Gordon frequently brings to the table this season; given his body of work dating back to spring training, that's an increasingly conceivable notion.

Correa is out of the lineup against the Orioles on Wednesday, Hunter Atkins of The Houston Chronicle reports.

Correa will receive an expected day off after suffering a minor toe injury during Monday's outing. There shouldn't be any concern over his status since Correa was able to play Tuesday, but manager A.J. Hinch will take it easy on his shortstop with a scheduled off-day on tap prior to Friday's series opener against San Diego. In his place, Marwin Gonzalez will take over at short while J.D. Davis draws a start at first.

Anderson went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, three runs scored and two stolen bases in Tuesday's 14-5 loss to the Blue Jays.

Anderson has been a completely different player this season after a near season-long struggle in 2017 after the preseason death of a close friend. At the beginning of 2018, Anderson is hitting .375 (6-for-16) with three home runs, four RBI, six runs and three stolen bases.

Correa went 2-for-2 with an inside-the-park home run, three RBI, three runs and a walk, helping Houston to a 10-6 win over Baltimore on Tuesday.

Correa exited Houston's game on Monday with discomfort in his toe, but any concern over that was alleviated with Tuesday's inside-the-park homer that forced him to sprint full-speed around the bases. He's off to a rip-roaring start to 2018, hitting .474 with a .522 on base percentage through his first 19 at-bats, and it's scary to think that he's talented enough to improve on a brilliant 2017 that saw him slash .315/.391/.550.

Diaz exited Tuesday's game against the White Sox with back spasms, Mike Wilner of Sportsnet 590 The Fan reports.

Diaz showed discomfort after hitting a single in the bottom of the sixth inning and did not retake the field in the seventh. The 27-year-old was 3-for-3 with a home run, a double and three RBI before leaving the game. Gift Ngoepe took over at shortstop for the Blue Jays, while Diaz should be considered day-to-day until he is evaluated further.

Correa is scheduled to sit out of Wednesday's game against the Orioles, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Correa returned to the lineup Tuesday after dealing with a minor toe injury. Although the superstar shortstop has been deemed healthy, the Astros plan on being careful with Correa and will give him some additional rest. The team has Thursday off, so Correa should be ready to go when Houston hosts the Padres on Friday.

Correa (toe) is batting cleanup and playing shortstop Tuesday against the Orioles, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Correa left Monday's game prematurely due to a left big toe injury, but he'll return to the lineup Tuesday after X-rays clarified that there isn't a more serious issue in play. The 23-year-old will continue to play a prominent role in the Astros' offense.
