Barrero is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.

Barrero went 1-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Saturday's 6-5 win, but he also struck out three times and is now sitting on a 28.8 percent strikeout rate for the season. He's posted a modest .588 OPS over his last 15 games and could begin to lose work at shortstop to Kevin Newman, who will replace him in the lineup for the second time in four games.

Correa went 2-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in Saturday's 11-1 rout of the Cubs.

He piled up his production after the game was well in hand, connecting on a solo shot in the seventh inning and a two-run single in the eighth. Correa is showing signs of life at the plate -- he's cracked an extra-base hit in four straight games and has three of his six homers on the season in May, along with 11 of his 21 RBI -- but through 11 contests on the month he's still batting just .196 (9-for-46).

Reyes started at second base and went 2-for-3 with a double and a run scored in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Cardinals.

Acquired from the Athletics on Friday, Reyes was added to the 40-man roster and made his debut Saturday. The Red Sox are dealing with multiple injuries at middle infield, and Reyes is on board to help. The club has been without Trevor Story (elbow) and Adalberto Mondesi (knee) all season, then Yu Chang (wrist) and Christian Arroyo (hamstring) joined them on the injured list. Reyes will share second base with Enmanuel Valdez and could also spell shortstop Enrique Hernandez, who made his ninth error of the season Saturday.

Seager (hamstring) started at shortstop and went 0-for-2 with a walk in Saturday's game for Double-A Frisco.

Seager is on a rehab assignment at Frisco and made his third straight start for the RoughRiders. He's started twice at shortstop and once as the designated hitter. Seager hasn't yet played a full nine-inning game, but it's uncertain if that is a criterion for his return to the majors. The Rangers planned to evaluate him following the weekend series and could activate him early this week.

Duran went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 5-0 win over the Athletics.

Duran's two-run shot in the ninth inning provided insurance and allowed manager Bruce Bochy to avoid using closer Will Smith, who's worked a lot this week. It was Duran's fifth homer in 32 games, equaling the number he hit last season over 58 games. He's been starting at shortstop for the injured Corey Seager (hamstring), but the latter played in his third rehab game Saturday and could return as soon as Monday. That means Bochy will have to find a spot for Duran's hot bat, presumably in left field.

Turner went 0-for-3 with two walks, a stolen base and two runs scored in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Rockies.

Turner's 11-game hitting streak came to an end, but he still managed to be productive. The steal was his first since April 19 versus the White Sox, which was also the last time he scored multiple runs in the same game. The shortstop is slashing .256/.307/.402 with four home runs, 10 RBI, five steals and 24 runs scored through 39 contests.

Chang (wrist) has been hitting off a tee, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

Chang underwent surgery on his fractured hamate bone in late April. He's a little over a third of the way into his original six-week timeline, so he still has roughly a month still to go, but it's encouraging to see him swinging already.

Crawford (calf) is likely to come off the injured list before Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.

Crawford will miss a little over the minimum 10-day minumum after landing on the shelf with a right calf strain May 1. The veteran shortstop likely will handle starting duties against righties, but he hasn't been playing much against southpaws early this year.

Smith left Saturday's game against the Athletics with left foot soreness. X-rays returned negative and he'll continue to be evaluated.

Smith was hit by a pitch in the fifth inning and was unable to continue. The outfielder should be considered day-to-day and likely will get a chance to rest for Sunday's series finale against the Athletics.

Rojas is not in Saturday's lineup against the Padres, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

After starting the last four games at shortstop, Rojas will head to the bench while Mookie Betts handles the six. Rojas is hitting .250 with one stolen base in 10 games this month.
