    Carlos Correa (ankle) has been cleared to start swinging a bat.

    Correa is holding out hope that he’ll make it back after undergoing what was originally believed to be season-ending surgery to repair a torn tendon in his ankle back in mid-May. The 31-year-old infielder remains without a definitive return timetable, but it sounds like there’s a chance he’s back at some point in September.

James Schiano looks at what fantasy managers can expect from Kaelen Culpepper, the "slick-fielding" shortstop who is capable of making a fantasy impact in his debut and beyond.

    Wilyer Abreu was scratched from the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Athletics.

    No word yet on the reason for the change. It was surprising to see Abreu on the initial lineup card in the first place with rookie left-hander Gage Jump taking the ball for the Athletics. The 27-year-old has put together a phenomenal season, slashing .256/.331/.462 with 20 homers, 62 RBI and seven steals in 429 plate appearances over 113 games. It’ll be Eli White moving over to right field with Jarren Duran getting into the lineup in the opposite corner. We’ll have update on Abreu’s status if his absence winds up being injury-related.

    Willson Contreras (illness) is back in the lineup for Saturday’s showdown against the Athletics.

    Contreras is back at first base and hitting cleanup against rookie southpaw Gage Jump following a two-game absence due to illness. The 34-year-old veteran has put together a career-best season at the plate, hitting .288/.395/.540 with 23 home runs and 70 RBI across 430 plate appearances. He’s served as one of Boston’s primary catalysts during their remarkable midseason turnaround. They’ve won nine consecutive games and 27 of their last 30 overall to pull within five games of the AL East-leading Rays.

    Luis García Jr. is out of the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Braves.

    Jazz Chisholm Jr. grabs a seat on the bench as well with veteran southpaw Chris Sale toeing the rubber for Atlanta in this one. García went deep in his Yankees debut earlier this week and has gone 4-for-17 with a pair of RBI in four contests since being acquired from the Nationals last weekend. He’s He’ll continue playing everyday against right-handed starters with Paul Goldschmidt seeing opportunities against lefties for the final two months. His left-handed swing feels perfectly suited for Yankee Stadium and he has a realistic shot at reaching the 30-homer plateau for the first time in his career.

    Jim Jarvis is at shortstop and hitting ninth on Saturday against the Yankees.

    Jarvis has seemingly taken over as Atlanta’s primary shortstop, even with Ha-Seong Kim back from the injured list, starting three of their last five games with Kim and Mauricio Dubón splitting the other two. The unheralded 25-year-old is hitting just .239/.287/.352 with one homer and 10 RBI across 97 plate appearances. He’ll need a strong finish to have any chance of being in the mix as an everyday option entering next season, lockout or not. Atlanta is going to be linked to a ton of shortstops in offseason trade rumors with Jarvis seemingly a stronger fit as a multi-position role player moving forward.
