Correa went 0-for-2 with a walk and a strikeout in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Angels.

Correa had missed the previous three games with a hand contusion but was back to batting cleanup for the Astros on Thursday. Hand injuries can be tricky, so don't be alarmed if he's not hitting immediately upon his return to duty.

Turner (hamstring) is expected to come off the disabled list Friday, Jorge Castillo of the Washington Post reports.

Although it looks like Turner will come off the DL on Friday, manager Dusty Baker said it's unlikely that he'll start Turner for the team's series opener against the Mets. Turner was fully active in an extended spring training game Wednesday, so he should be taking the field for the big club very soon.

Bogaerts received tests on his right thumb following Thursday's victory over the Blue Jays, Scott Lauber of ESPN Boston reports.

Bogaerts played the entire game Thursday, but he clearly had some discomfort after a head-first slide into second base late in the game. The current plan is for the club to evaluate him again on Friday, so specific information pertaining to Bogaerts' condition should be available then. If Bogaerts has to miss time, look for Brock Holt to fill in at shortstop.

Arcia is not in the lineup Thursday against the Cardinals.

The 22-year-old brought his batting average above the Mendoza Line with a two-hit performance Wednesday in Chicago, but he'll head to the bench for a day off nonetheless. Hernan Perez will pick up a start at shortstop in his stead.

Camargo was optioned back to Triple-A Gwinnett on Thursday.

The move was made to make room on the roster for Matt Kemp (hamstring), who is returning from the disabled list Thursday. Camargo appeared in five games and went 1-for-4 with one RBI during his brief stint with the big-league club. With his path to the majors seemingly blocked for the time being, he'll head back to Triple-A and continue to serve as depth.

Swanson is not in the lineup Thursday against the Nationals.

The former top draft pick hasn't been able to get anything going at the plate this season, as his batting average currently sits at just a .131 mark. Swanson will get the night off to hopefully regain some composure, with Jace Peterson moving to shortstop to fill in for him.

Adrianza (oblique) will start a rehab assignment with High-A Fort Myers on Friday, MLB.com's Rhett Bollinger reports.

He has been working out in extended spring training, but is finally ready to head out to an affiliate. Adrianza could join the the Twins' bench once his rehab is complete, but he won't be in line for regular playing time. He has no minor-league options remaining, so the Twins could face a hard decision with him at some point this season.

Correa (hand) is back in the lineup, starting at shortstop and hitting cleanup Thursday against the Angels.

He missed three games with the hand issue, but he had been available off the bench in each of the last two games and was expected to make his return in this contest. Alex Bregman moves back to third base as a result. Confidently deploy Correa in all formats.

Swanson went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in Wednesday's loss to the Nationals.

The beginning of what was expected to be Swanson's first full season in the majors has been a disaster so far, as the 23-year-old is slashing a woeful .131/.159/.197 with a 2:16 BB:K through 14 games. The Braves will be as patient as they can with the blue-chip prospect, but if Swanson doesn't show signs of breaking out soon, a return to the minors to regain his confidence at the plate might be in his best interest.

Turner (hamstring) played shortstop Wednesday during an extended spring training game and stole a base, Jorge Castillo of The Washington Post reports. "I had urged him not to try to steal, but when running's in your blood, it's in your blood," Nationals manager Dusty Baker said. "Hopefully he'll be back in a couple days."

It seems safe to say Turner's hamstring is feeling just fine. Expect him back in the Nats' starting lineup by the weekend.
