Correa (illness) remains out of the lineup Sunday against the Yankees, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Manager Dusty Baker said Saturday that the shortstop was still feeling sick and that he was unlikely to rejoin the club Sunday. Correa figures to remain on the COVID-19 IL for the series finale, though he has not been reported to have tested positive for the virus. The 26-year-old announced earlier this week that he would not be traveling to Denver for the All-Star Game, so he will rest up as he looks to return to the lineup Friday against the White Sox.

Correa went 1-for-3 with a solo home run Saturday in a win over the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Correa broke a 2-2 tie in the sixth inning with his 15th blast of the year, taking Detroit closer Michael Fulmer deep to left field. He's riding a seven-game hitting streak, with multi-hit efforts in three of them. A free-agent following the 2021 season, Correa is setting himself up for a big payday if he can continue to avoid the injuries that have plagued him in the past. He's slashing .305/.399/.540 in 316 plate appearances, adding 19 doubles and a team-leading 41 walks.
