Cleveland Indians infielder Andres Gimenez is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Royals.

Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop Kevin Newman is not in the lineup on Monday for the series opener with the Reds.

Correa is 4-for-17 through the team's first four games but picked up his first extra-base hit on Saturday.
