Correa (heel) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.

Assuming Correa doesn't come off the bench to play, this will make four of five games that the shortstop won't be able to play as he continues to be stymied by plantar fasciitis in his left heel. With Correa again out of the lineup, Kyle Farmer will get the start at shortstop and hit eighth. Correa should still be considered day-to-day, but fantasy managers will need to monitor this situation for the foreseeable future.

Neto (foot) is playing shortstop and hitting ninth versus Houston on Sunday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Neto sat out Saturday's game against Houston after being removed from Friday's contest with a bruise on his left foot, but the rookie shortstop is good to go Sunday for the series finale against the Astros.

Franco (hamstring) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

The 22-year-old sat out Game 2 of Saturday's twin bill due to the hamstring injury he picked up during the matinee, and it's not a major surprise the Rays will give him at least one full day to rest. According to Topkin, Franco is receiving treatment and could be back in the lineup for Monday's series finale in Boston. Taylor Walls will make another start at shortstop Sunday for Tampa Bay.

Abrams is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's contest versus Philadelphia.

Abrams will get a breather after going 1-for-4 in each of the first two games against the Phillies over the weekend. The 22-year-old gets a day of maintenance, with Ildemaro Vargas starting at shortstop and hitting seventh.

Tovar went 2-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base Saturday against the Royals.

Tovar has shown significant signs of improvement across the last 15 games, maintaining a .346 average with four RBI and eight runs scored. Positively, he's hit well on the road in that span by going 11-for-30 across eight contests. Tovar has also picked up his stolen base production of late, recording two of his three stolen bases on the season in his last eight starts.

Barrero is not in the starting lineup versus the Brewers on Sunday.

Barrero is opening the game on the bench for the third straight game. The25-year-old will take a seat again with Will Benson getting the start in center and hitting eighth against Adrian Houser and the Reds.

Duran started in left field and went 1-for-1 with two walks in Saturday's 16-6 win over the Mariners.

Duran was activated off the injured list, and the Rangers put his dangerous bat in the lineup. He slashed .301/.346/.921 with five home runs, five doubles, 11 RBI and 13 runs scored during the month of May before hitting the IL. He's in a crowded mix for at-bats in left field and at DH.

Bogaerts said after Saturday's 6-0 win over the Cubs that he was removed from the contest due to a lingering left wrist issue but is hopeful to avoid a stint on the injured list, Dennis Lin of The Athletic reports. "I probably haven't played this long with it," said Bogaerts, who has played through wrist discomfort before. "Manny [Machado] was hurt [until recently], and I just felt like I want to go out there."

Before being lifted ahead of the eighth inning of Saturday's game, Bogaerts went hitless in four at-bats and is now slashing .200/.200/.240 over his past seven contests. Though he doesn't believe he'll require a trip to the IL, Bogaerts acknowledged that he'll likely get at least a little time off, so he'll presumably be out of the lineup for Sunday's contest.

Lindor went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts in Saturday's 2-1 loss against Toronto.

Lindor's cold spell continued Saturday, leaving him hitless in his last four games and 2-for-28 (.071) across his last seven. Though Lindor is striking out at only a 22.5 percent clip in 2023, he has been fanned five times in his last two games (eight at-bats). He will look to break out of the slump Sunday against lefty Yusei Kikuchi.

Witt went 3-for-5 with a run scored and a stolen base in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Rockies.

Witt snapped out of a minor slump, posting three singles after entering Saturday's game 2-for-20 in his last five appearances. The youngster has slashed .236/.272/.430 with 10 home runs through 57 games. He also ranks fourth in MLB with 18 steals, five of which have come in his past nine games.
