Correa (back) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Round Rock on Friday, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Correa is expected to get a chance to take the field for Game 3 of Round Rock's playoff series, assuming all goes well over the next few days. His return date is still up in the air.

Bogaerts isn't in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

Bogaerts has been scuffling at the dish lately, finishing Boston's four-game series with New York just 2-for-16 with four strikeouts. Chris Owings starts at second base and will bat eighth Tuesday.

Although he projects to continue playing multiple positions, Edman is essentially locked into an everyday role for the balance of the regular season, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

The rookie has forced manager Mike Shildt's hand via his strong play with both the bat and glove. The switch-hitting Edman has acquitted himself well against both handedness of pitcher, but especially versus southpaws (.333/.362/.545 line over 69 plate appearances). Edman's extensive positional versatility has also made him a valued defensive asset, with perhaps no better example than when he played three different positions over three games during the Cardinals' back-to-back doubleheaders last week. The 24-year-old's contributions at the plate have been well-rounded, as he's hitting .278 with 25 extra-base hits (14 doubles, four triples, seven home runs), 27 RBI, 10 walks, 11 stolen bases and 42 runs over his first 267 big-league plate appearances.

Rojas went 3-for-5 with two RBI in Monday's 8-3 loss to Milwaukee.

Rojas' two-run single in the sixth inning pulled the Marlins within a run of Milwaukee but that would be short-lived. The 30-year-old shortstop has gone 5-for-10 over the last two days, bringing his season average to .287.

A hand specialist confirmed that Baez has a hairline fracture on his left thumb, and he's unlikely to play again in September, Gordon Wittenmyer of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Baez isn't expected to return to action before the regular season comes to an end, so he'll begin rehabbing with the hope of being activated for the playoffs, should the Cubs qualify. With Addison Russell still in concussion protocol, look for Nico Hoerner to see the majority of the playing time at shortstop down the stretch.

Correa (back) could make a rehab appearance for Triple-A Round Rock on Friday, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Correa has missed just shy of three weeks with a sore back. The Astros are likely primarily concerned with getting him right for the playoffs, but it looks as though he'll be able to return for at least a handful of games prior to the end of the regular season.

Arcia (personal) is expected to rejoin the Brewers on Wednesday, Sophia Minnaert of Fox Sports Wisconsin reports.

Arcia landed on the paternity list following Sunday's win over the Cubs, but he's expected to rejoin the Brewers after spending a couple of days with his fiancee and their two newborn daughters. Hernan Perez is starting at shortstop in his place Monday.

Diaz went 2-for-4 with a double, two walks, two RBI and a run Sunday in the Astros' 21-1 win over the Mariners.

Diaz was one of seven Astros to produce multiple hits and contributed one of the team's franchise-record 11 two-baggers on the afternoon. The 29-year-old drew a second straight start at first base in the series finale, but he'll likely shift over to the hot corner within the next few days since Yuli Gurriel (hamstring) isn't expected to miss much more time.

Seager went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer in a victory over San Francisco on Sunday.

Seager launched a 415-foot shot to center field in the fifth inning to stake the Dodgers to a five-run lead. The long ball snapped a 1-for-17 cold snap that included four strikeouts. Seager has rebounded from last year's Tommy John and hip surgeries to post a .261/.328/.450 slash line with 14 homers, 39 doubles and 69 RBI in 118 games.

Arcia is going on the paternity list after Sunday's game agains the Cubs, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

He must miss Monday's game in Miami and can miss no more than three total games. Arcia started Sunday's game but left midway through to be with his fiancee, who gave birth to twin daughters. Hernan Perez and Cory Spangenberg are options to start at shortstop in his absence.
