Correa was ejected from Saturday's loss at Seattle in the seventh inning for arguing with the umpire about the strike zone while in the on-deck circle, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. He went 1-for-2 with a double before departing.

Correa had never been ejected from a major-league game before Saturday. His ejection came at a poor time in a close game, as Correa has been hot at the plate. He's hitting .400 (10-for-25) with three home runs in his last eight games since returning from a concussion May 23.

Melton is expected to be called up from Triple-A Sugar Land on Sunday, Ari Alexander of Houston KPRC 2 TV reports.

Melton is one of Houston's top prospects and could get a lengthy trial as the team struggles to find production in the outfield. He was hitting just .254 with two home runs and a .879 OPS at Triple-A but was limited by back and groin issues early in the season. Melton should get some looks in the outfield, especially if Zach Dezenzo is sidelined due to the left hand injury that he picked up during the Astros' loss to the Rays on Saturday.

Judge went 3-for-4 with a pair of solo home runs in an 18-2 loss to the Dodgers on Saturday.

The game got so far away from New York that both teams put a position player on the mound in the ninth inning, but Judge did his usual thing, mashing a pair of long balls for the Yankees' only runs. The superstar slugger's homers totaled 832 feet, and Judge now has three home runs (all solo) through the first two games of the World Series rematch, though Los Angeles has won both contests. Judge is up to 21 long balls on the season -- third in baseball behind Shohei Ohtani and Cal Raleigh, both of whom have hit 22 -- and continues to hover around a .400 batting average. He's hitting .398 through 57 games and leads the majors by a wide margin with a 1.268 OPS.

Caballero went 2-for-5 with a double, two RBI, three runs scored, a walk and a stolen base Saturday against the Astros.

Caballero got the chance to lead off with a lefty on the mound, the second consecutive time he's done so. He delivered an excellent performance, extending his hitting streak to five games while also swiping his 19th stolen base of the campaign. Caballero is known primarily for his defense and speed, but he quietly has maintained a 115 wRC+ and .326 wOBA across 154 plate appearances on the campaign.

Warren (3-3) took the loss against the Dodgers on Saturday, allowing seven runs on six hits and four walks while striking out two batters over 1.1 innings.

Warren entered Saturday as one of the hottest pitchers in baseball, compiling a 2.05 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 33:5 K:BB over his previous four starts. However, he was unable to continue the strong stretch against the defending champions, as the right-hander gave up four runs in the first inning and another three in the second, exiting after serving up a three-run blast to Max Muncy with one out in that frame. Warren's lack of control was a large part of his woes -- he tossed just 29 of 57 pitches for strikes and tied a season high with four walks during his brief time on the mound. The outing was Warren's shortest of the season, and the seven runs were the most he's given up on the campaign. The blow-up increased his overall ERA by more than a run from 4.09 to 5.19, but Warren pitched well enough throughout May to earn a bit of leash, and he should get an opportunity to bounce back in his next start, which is projected to be at home against Boston.

Montgomery is considered day-to-day due to knee soreness, MLB.com reports.

Montgomery was hit by a pitch in the knee Friday and was held out of the lineup Saturday. X-rays came back clean, so it is not anticipated that he'll be out for the long term. Montgomery has shown improved form since re-joining Triple-A Charlotte on May 13, maintaining a .275/.373/.510 line across 51 at-bats.

Kurtz (hamstring) is expected to begin running the bases June 7, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Kurtz suffered a hamstring injury May 25 while running the bases. It sounds like his return from the injured list may not come until later in June, as he'll likely need a rehab stint after he is able to run full speed again.

Rojas went 2-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base Saturday against the Orioles.

Rojas has struggled to get going at the plate since being activated from the injured list May 6, as this marked his first multi-hit game in his last 10 starts. He also managed to swipe his third bag of the season and second in his last five games. Despite the encouraging performance, Rojas is hitting only .175 with two extra-base hits across 72 plate appearances for the campaign.

Castro went 3-for-4 with a double, a walk, one stolen base and one run scored in Saturday's 5-4 extra-innings loss to the Mariners.

This was Castro's second multi-hit effort in a row, though all three knocks Saturday stayed in the park after his two-homer game Friday. The 28-year-old has lifted his batting average to .254 with his recent surge at the plate, and he's added a .759 OPS, four homers, 10 RBI, 21 runs scored and three stolen bases over 37 games. He's not running nearly as much as he did in the previous two years, though his positional versatility can still carry value in fantasy. For now, Castro is poised to get most of his playing time at second base while the Twins are largely healthy among their position players.

Wallner went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 5-4 extra-innings loss to the Mariners.

Wallner returned to action Saturday after he missed a month and a half due to a hamstring strain. He made an early impact in his first game back, as his lone hit was a second-inning homer to open the scoring. The outfielder was able to play the full game in right field, and he should reclaim a majority of the playing time there moving forward. On the year, he's batting .262 with an .883 OPS, two homers, five RBI, eight runs scored and no stolen bases across 71 plate appearances. Wallner's return is likely to lead to a reduction in playing time for Kody Clemens.
