High-A Dayton placed Arroyo on its 7-day injured list Wednesday with a left hip strain.

Arroyo suffered the injury Saturday and will now be out through at least the end of the week. Cincinnati acquired the infielder in the 2021 deal that sent Luis Castillo to Seattle, and Arroyo has since established himself as one of the top prospects in the Reds organization as a plus defender with some offensive upside.

Bichette went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 9-3 win over the Tigers.

The Blue Jays put on a fireworks display in their home opener, clubbing five homers in total, and Bichette's contribution came in the eighth inning off Mason Englert. The shortstop has hit safely in five straight games, homering in three of them, and on the season Bichette is slashing .353/.389/.627 with two doubles, four long balls, nine RBI and 10 runs in 11 contests.

Twins manager Rocco Baldelli said that prior to Wednesday's game against the White Sox that he expects Correa (back) to be back in the lineup for Thursday's series opener with the Yankees, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Baldelli noted that Correa was able to go through a workout Tuesday and will go through an "intense" day in the batting cage Wednesday as a final test. The shortstop is out of the lineup Wednesday for the third day in a row while he contends with middle-back spasms. While fantasy managers have a right to be concerned about Correa missing games in the early part of the season, Minnesota seems to be acting extra careful with the 29-year-old.

Swanson (side) expects to return to the Cubs' lineup Friday against the Dodgers, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

Swanson is out of the lineup Wednesday after exiting Tuesday's contest with a side issue, but it's been termed as merely cramping and he should be ready to roll after Thursday's off day. The big free-agent signee is off to a superb start with his new club, sporting a .400/.467/.450 batting line with two doubles and one stolen base.

Edman will take a seat Wednesday versus the Rockies.

Edman will get a breather after he went 2-for-6 with a solo homer, a double, a walk and two runs scored over the first two games of the series. Brendan Donovan will draw the start at shortstop while Taylor Motter enters the lineup at third base and bats ninth in the series finale.

Swanson (side) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mariners.

Swanson helped the Cubs erase a seven-run deficit Tuesday and went 4-for-4 at the dish before exiting Chicago's eventual 14-9 win in the sixth inning due to what the team termed as lower left side tightness. Manager David Ross clarified after the game that Swanson was dealing with cramping, and while the star shortstop will sit out Wednesday's series finale, he'll most likely be good to go for Friday's game in Los Angeles following a team off day Thursday. Nico Hoerner will slide over from the keystone to cover shortstop Wednesday in place of Swanson.

Correa (back) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox.

Correa will take a seat for the third straight game while he contends with a middle back spasms, but he's listed as an available option off the bench and is still seemingly on track to avoid a stint on the 10-day injured list. Kyle Farmer will start at shortstop Wednesday and should remain the primary option at the position until Correa is deemed ready to rejoin the lineup.

Bogaerts went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Mets.

With the Padres clinging to a 2-1 lead in the top of the ninth inning, Bogaerts gave his team what proved to be crucial insurance runs by taking a hanging slider from Dennis Santana deep to left field. The shortstop is thriving in his new uniform, slashing .333/.426/.667 through 12 games with three doubles, four homers, 10 runs, 10 RBI, a steal and a sharp 8:5 BB:K.

Berti went 2-for-3 with a walk, a home run, two runs scored, two RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's 8-4 win over the Phillies.

The utility player opened the scoring in the third inning by turning on an Aaron Nola knuckle curve and driving it over the wall in center field. Berti isn't known for his power -- his career high in homers is six, set back in 2019 -- but after stealing a league-leading 41 bases last season, he's now swiped two in the last three games. As long as he continues getting everyday playing time at shortstop, the 33-year-old could rack up pilfers in a hurry.

Smith pinch ran and filled in at shortstop Tuesday after Corey Seager was removed due to a hamstring injury. Smith went 0-for-1 with a walk in an 8-5 extra-inning win over Kansas City.

Seager clutched his left hamstring on the way to second base on a fifth-inning double and was removed immediately. He'll be re-evaluated Wednesday. If a stint on the injured list is warranted, the lefty-swinging Smith or the right-handed hitting Ezequiel Duran can fill in. Smith had been getting steady work in left field until this past weekend, when manager Bruce Bochy started giving at-bats to Bubba Thompson and Travis Jankowski.
