Ahmed (foot) is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Phillies.

The Diamondbacks are viewing Ahmed as day-to-day for the time being after he sustained a bone contusion in his left foot during Sunday's win over the Blue Jays. If Ahmed's foot fails to show much improvement after a day or two of rest, a stint on the 10-day injured list would become more realistic. Ketel Marte will spell Ahmed at shortstop in the first game of Arizona's East Coast road swing.

Correa (ribs) said Sunday that he has been limited to light exercises since landing on the 10-day injured list May 29 and hasn't begun any baseball activities, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

After Correa was diagnosed with a cracked rib, the Astros estimated that he would be sidelined 4-to-6 weeks with the injury. With that in mind, it's not too surprising that he hasn't made any noteworthy steps forward in his recovery since suffering the injury two weeks ago. If Correa remains at the same stage in his rehab at this point next week, however, there's a good likelihood that his recovery would trend closer to the long end of that timetable. In the case, the Astros may be inclined to proceed with extra caution and hold the star shortstop out through the All-Star break.

Ahmed is believed to have a bone contusion in his left foot, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.

Ahmed sustained the injury during the third inning Sunday and was removed from the Diamondbacks' win over the Blue Jays. The injury is not considered serious, and there are no plans for Ahmed to undergo tests.

Gordon (wrist) went 1-for-5 in Triple-A Tacoma's loss to Nashville on Sunday. He was also caught stealing on his only attempt.

Gordon logged his third full rehab game since joining the Rainiers, and Sunday's was likely his final one. The veteran is slated to join the Mariners in Minnesota on Tuesday for the start of a three-game set against the Twins after being out since May 21.

Wendle (wrist) started at shortstop and went 3-for-4 with a double and a stolen base in Triple-A Durham's win over Gwinnett on Sunday.

The fact Wendle logged the start at shortstop had significance in and of itself, as manager Kevin Cash remarked over the weekend that the Rays want the option of deploying Wendle at the position when he's activated. The versatile infielder appears to be on the verge of returning, with his 5-for-8 tally over this first two rehab games seemingly indicating his wrist is close to or at full health.

Turner went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a double in a victory over San Diego on Sunday.

Turner's blast -- a 425-bomb to center field -- was the second of four consecutive home runs that put Washington in the history books in the eighth inning. He also scored Washington's first run after reaching base on an error in the first inning. Over his last 11 games, Turner has gone 15-for-47 (.319) with a pair of homers and nine runs scored. His season slash line is now up to .273/.316/.491.

Diaz felt some tightness in his left hamstring while running Sunday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

The Astros will continue to exercise caution with Diaz, so he'll likely take it easy for the next few days. "We're trying to make sure I'm going to be 100 percent when I come back," Diaz told McTaggart. "We tried running at 100, 95 percent and I felt a little tightness in my hamstring. I think that's part of the process. We know hamstrings can be tricky and we're going to keep doing work.'

Ahmed was removed from Sunday's 8-2 win over the Blue Jays in the third inning with a sore left foot.

Jarrod Dyson came off the bench to replace Ahmed, stepping in as the Diamondbacks' center fielder while Ketel Marte shifted to shortstop. Ahmed, who singled in his lone at-bat before departing, is viewed as day-to-day ahead of Monday's game in Philadelphia.

Fletcher is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners due to a sore left shoulder, Maria Torres of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Though Fletcher will be on the bench for a second straight day due to the injury, manager Brad Ausmus suggested he wasn't worried about the 25-year-old requiring a trip to the injured list. Fletcher's absence will open up a starting spot in the infield for Wilfredo Tovar.

Seager went 4-for-5 with two doubles and four RBI in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Giants.

The Giants were determined not to let Cody Bellinger beat them, walking the Dodgers' cleanup hitter three times in five plate appearances, but Seager picked up the slack from the five hole. The shortstop has banged out four straight multi-hit efforts, but he's been hot for a lot longer than that -- Seager is now slashing .330/.392/.637 over his last 24 games with six homers and 26 RBI.
