Correa (side) is out of the lineup Sunday against the Rangers, Stefan Stevenson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Correa will be on the bench for a fourth consecutive contest while he battles right side discomfort, resulting in Marwin Gonzalez picking up another turn at shortstop. The 23-year-old was expected to go through fielding drills prior to Sunday's contest and will have the benefit of a team off day Monday, offering optimism that he'll be back in the fold for the Astros' series opener Tuesday in Oakland. Unfortunately for fantasy owners in weekly leagues with lineups that lock Monday, official word on Correa's status for the Oakland series seems unlikely to come until Tuesday.

Wendle is out of the lineup Sunday against the Mariners.

The lefty-hitting Wendle will hit the bench for the second time this series with the Mariners bringing another southpaw (James Paxton) to the hill. Wendle's absence clears room at second base for Christian Arroyo, who will bat sixth Sunday.

Correa (side) isn't in Saturday's lineup against the Rangers.

Correa exited Wednesday's tilt due to side discomfort, and it's unclear if he'll return this weekend. He's slated to take part in fielding drills Sunday after hitting Saturday, Hunter Atkins of the Houston Chronicle reports. Correa could be available Sunday as a pinch hitter.

Gordon is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against Tampa Bay, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Gordon will receive a rare day off after going hitless in five at-bats during Friday's victory. In his place, Andrew Romine will make a start at second base and bat ninth in the order. Expect Gordon to be back in the starting nine for Sunday's series finale.

Correa (side) is not yet performing baseball activities and continues to work on testing his core, Hunter Atkins of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Every development since Correa left Wednesday's game with discomfort in his right side has been positive: a magnetic resonance imaging exam came back negative and the shortstop hasn't felt pain since the incident. Manager A.J. Hinch said he's bouncing back quickly and isn't feeling anything when he breathes or with any type of body movement. Hinch hasn't ruled out a return this weekend, but without Correa swinging a bat or fielding grounders, he may not be ready to play until the next series, which begins Tuesday in Oakland.

Correa (side) was held out of Friday's lineup against the Rangers, Alyson Footer of MLB.com reports.

Correa will get another day off after leaving Wednesday's outing with right side discomfort, though he did receive good news from an MRI on Thursday. Manager A.J. Hinch hasn't remarked on Correa's status, but all signs point toward the shortstop returning to the fold sometime this weekend. For the second straight game, Marwin Gonzalez will man the shortstop position in his stead.

Wendle is out of the lineup against Seattle on Friday, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.

Wendle will take a seat with left-hander Marco Gonzales on the mound for the Mariners. In his place, Christian Arroyo will draw a start at the keystone and bat eighth.

Correa (side) received good results from Thursday's MRI and stated that he's day-to-day moving forward, Jake Kaplan of The Athletic reports.

Correa described the results of the tests as "great news" and added that he's optimistic that he will be back on the field soon. Whether that comes Friday or later on this weekend, that remains to be seen, but in all likelihood, it appears as though he didn't sustain a significant injury. In his absence, Marwin Gonzalez will start at shortstop for Thursday's series opener.

Correa (side) is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against Texas, Levi Weaver of The Athletic reports.

Correa was forced to exit Wednesday's contest with right side discomfort prior to the top of the eighth inning and he will get the night off as the club begins a four-game set in Arlington. The Astros have yet to describe the severity of Correa's injury, so consider him day-to-day ahead of Friday's tilt.

Anderson is not in the lineup against Minnesota on Thursday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Anderson will head to the bench for the series finale as Jose Rondon picks up a start at shortstop. Over the past 12 games, Anderson is hitting .295 with a 1.036 OPS and 13 RBI.
