Correa (back) is back with the big-league club following a rehab assignment and could return from the 10-day DL on Friday, Christian Boutwell of MLB.com reports.

Correa played in five games with Double-A Corpus Christi over the past week, and he appears to be on the verge of reinstatement after missing about six weeks with a back injury. The shortstop should be back in the starting lineup upon his activation, but expect manager A.J. Hinch to give him regular rest during the next couple weeks as he continues to get back into game shape.

Gordon will hit ninth and man second base against the Astros on Thursday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Manager Scott Servais will attempt to rejuvenate the club following seven losses in the last 10 games, shifting Mitch Haniger to the leadoff spot and dropping Gordon to the bottom of the order. In addition, Denard Span will bat second and Jean Segura is hitting out of the three hole. It remains to be seen if this will be anything more than a short-term change, though Gordon is just 4-for-33 (.121 average) over his past eight games.

DeJong went 1-for-4 with a two-run double in a win over the Marlins on Wednesday.

DeJong enjoyed his time against Marlins pitching over the last three games, going 4-for-11 with two doubles, a home run, four RBI and two runs during the three-game set. The shortstop is looking to get his bat back on track after a .217 tally in July dropped his season average 17 points to .244.

Wendle is not in the lineup versus Baltimore on Thursday.

Wendle will shift over to the bench following five straight starts, during which he's gone 7-for-17 (.412 average) with one home run and four RBI. Brandon Lowe will draw the assignment at the keystone in his absence.

Wendle went 2-for-4 with an RBI single in a loss to the Orioles on Wednesday.

Wendle now has a trio of multi-hit efforts in his last five games, which has led to an impressive .400 average thus far in August. Many of his hits over that stretch have been timely, as he's driven in four runs -- nearly half of his July total. Wendle's production Wednesday pushed his season line to a solid .292/.344/.413, figures that include 23 extra-base hits (13 doubles, four triples, six home runs).

Camargo is not in the lineup versus Washington on Thursday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Camargo will receive a breather for the first time since the All-Star break as Charlie Culberson gets the nod at third base during the series finale. Dating back to the start of the second half, Camargo is hitting .277/.319/.523 with four home runs and 11 RBI in 17 games.

Lindor went 2-for-5 with a double, a three-run home run and a second run scored in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Twins.

The All-Star shortstop ended the game with one swing of the bat, taking Trevor Hildenberger deep on the first pitch he saw for a walkoff shot in the ninth inning -- Lindor's 29th homer of the year and MLB-leading 67th extra-base hit.

Anderson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a strikeout in Wednesday's loss to the Yankees.

The 25-year-old blasted his 15th homer of the year, sending a solo shot to right in the fifth inning. To go along with a .240/.288/.402 line, Anderson is tied for fifth in the American League with 22 steals, though he's only swiped one bag since July 8.

Arcia went 3-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's win over the Padres.

Arcia deposited a solo shot to center in the fifth inning for his third homer of the season, giving the Brewers a six-run lead in the process. The 24-year-old has struggled mightily for much of the year -- he's hitting just .210 -- but he's gotten off to a strong start in August. In 13 at-bats in the month, Arcia is hitting .462 with a pair of extra-base hits and a stolen base.

Mondesi went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run and two strikeouts in Wednesday's win over the Cubs.

Mondesi's seventh-inning blast broke the game open, turning a two-run lead into a 5-0 margin in the eventual 9-0 win. The 23-year-old's homer was his fourth of the season, but he's mired in a 5-for-31 (.161) stretch that's dropped his slash line on the year to .259/.271/.414.
