MLB Player News

Rojas (COVID-19 injured list) was assigned to the Marlins' alternate training site in Jupiter on Saturday after receiving clearance to resume baseball activities, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.

The Marlins have cleared all 18 of their players that have tested positive for COVID-19 since the start of the season to resume training, indicating that none of those individuals suffered from overly serious symptoms of the coronavirus. Since Rojas was sidelined for about three weeks while recovering from COVID-19 and waiting to clear the necessary protocols, he'll presumably need several days to prepare himself for a return to game action. Once the Marlins deem him ready to return from the COVID-19 IL, Rojas will likely settle back in as Miami's everyday shortstop.

Correa is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against Colorado, Jake Kaplan of The Athletic reports.

Correa sits for just the second time this season in what appears to be simply a routine day off. Jack Mayfield will take over at shortstop.

Ahmed went 2-for-3 with a double, a run scored and a walk in Monday's win against the Athletics.

Ahmed snapped a six-game hitting streak Sunday against the Padres, but bounced back quickly with his fourth multi-hit effort over the last seven days. The slick-fielding shortstop has hit .333 with a .903 OPS in 51 at-bats this month.

Swanson went 3-for-6 with a two-run home run and a second run scored in Monday's 7-6 win over the Nationals.

He capped a big night at the plate in dramatic fashion with a walkoff homer off Nats closer Daniel Hudson in the ninth inning. Swanson has hit safely in five straight games, going 10-for-23 (.435) during that hot streak, and on the year he's now hitting .298 with three homers and 16 RBI through 24 contests.

Seager went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run, an additional run scored and a walk in Monday's 11-9 win over the Mariners.

Seager went deep in the second inning to cap off a five-run rally with his three-run blast. He would later score the first run of another five-run inning in the seventh as he came home on an A.J. Pollock single. Seager has homered in consecutive games and now has six long balls to go with 16 RBI, 15 runs scored and a .306/.459/.611 slash line in 18 contests.

Correa went 2-for-4 with a two-RBI double in Monday's 2-1 win over the Rockies.

Correa scored Alex Bregman and Yuli Gurriel with his first-inning double, and that was enough for the Astros to win the game. The 25-year-old Correa is batting .304 with two homers, 11 RBI and seven runs scored through 22 games this season.

Owings (hamstring) went 0-for-1 as a pinch hitter in Monday's 2-1 loss to the Astros.

Owings hadn't played since he suffered the hamstring injury on Aug. 12. In Monday's contest, he hit for catcher Tony Wolters but did not stay in the game after his at-bat. Owings may need a few more days before he's ready to play the field.

Story went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in a 2-1 loss to the Astros on Monday.

Story provided the Rockies' lone run with a third-inning blast off Astros starter Brandon Bielak. It was one of just two hits in the game for the Rockies. Story has hit safely in nine straight games, and he's now batting .326 with seven homers, 15 RBI and 21 runs scored through 22 contests.

Anderson went 2-for-5 with two solo home runs Monday against the Tigers.

Anderson took Matthew Boyd deep twice in the first two innings of the game. He now has four home runs on the season, with three coming in the last week. Despite a minimum stint on the injured list early in the season, Anderson has scored 16 runs and hit .340/.375/.679 across 56 plate appearances.

Bichette was diagnosed with a Grade 1 sprain of lateral collateral ligament in his right knee, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

A second opinion confirmed that Bichette is dealing with a knee sprain. Fortunately, the injury is being considered a minor injury with no long-term impact, according to Davidi. The shortstop remains without a firm timetable for a return, though the team is currently laying out a rehab plan.
