Correa went 2-for-4 with a double, a homer, a walk and two RBI against the Royals on Saturday.

Correa's 12th blast of the year capped off a seven-run second inning that led the Astros to an easy road victory. He now has seven extra-base hits over his last four games to raise his slash line to .265/.363/.467.

Mondesi (suspension) will begin a rehab assignment at High-A Wilmington.

The highly-touted Mondesi is nearing a return from his 50-game PED suspension and he'll get back to game action Saturday. Once he gets a few games under his belt, Mondesi is expected to return to Double-A Northwest Arkansas on July 4 to resume his season. Mondesi was off to an excellent start to the season at the plate prior to his suspension, clubbing five home runs while racking up 11 stolen bases over his first 104 at-bats.

Bogaerts went 3-for-5 with a double, three RBI and a run against the White Sox on Wednesday.

His average briefly dipped under the .350 mark because he went 1-for-7 in the first two games of this series, but the studly shortstop got right back at it in this one. He's on pace to easily go 20-20 for the first time while contending for a batting title, making Bogaerts one of the most valuable players in all of fantasy. It would be no surprise to see him rack up some more hits Thursday, when the White Sox deploy the legendarily struggling James Shields against Bogaerts and his mates.

Correa went 2-for-3, including a home run and a walk-off hit, with three RBI in Tuesday's win over the Angels.

Correa was responsible for all of the team's runs in the 3-2 victory. He hit his second home run in two games to cut the lead to 2-1 in the fifth. With the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth, the shortstop hit a dramatic game-winning drive into the gap off Angels closer Huston Street. Correa has dealt with the proverbial "sophomore slump" at times this season, but he's having his best month, hitting .295 (18-for-61) in June.

Anderson hit his first home run, a solo shot, as part of a 2-for-4 game in Tuesday's win over the Red Sox.

Anderson is on fire, with multiple hits in four of his past seven games. He has five extra-base hits in that span -- three doubles and a triple to go with the home run. Anderson has yet to take a walk in 49 plate appearances since his call up, but with a .292 average and .479 slugging percentage, it's hard to blame him for swinging.

Lindor stuffed the stat sheet Monday against the Rays, finishing 3-for-4 with a double, a solo homer, two runs scored and a steal.

The 22-year-old has quietly matured into arguably the best all-around shortstop in baseball, backing up stellar defense with a .314/.375/.466 line and 12 steals in 15 attempts. That's also four three-hit games in the last eight for Lindor, who's clicking on all cylinders at the moment.

Correa hit his 10th home run as part of a 2-for-3 game with two runs scored and three RBI in Monday's win over the Angels.

Correa's power is down this season, but the 21-year-old is still one of just seven major league shortstops in double-digits in 2016. He's still showing solid plate discipline too, with a 12.5 percent walk rate. The main reason Correa's numbers have been down thus far is a 24.4 percent strikeout rate, up six points from 2015. It figures that major league pitchers would adjust to Correa a bit -- if he can make the counter-adjustments necessary to start making consistent contact again, he'll be right back to where he was in his brilliant rookie campaign last year.

Bortnick recently advanced to Triple-A Toledo and has a slash line of .270/.357/.432 in 37 at-bats.

Bortnick is a 28-year-old utility infielder who has yet to the the light of the majors shine on his face. But he has finally managed to claw his way back to Triple-A and is hitting a combined .279/.347/.481 in 104 at-bats between Double-A and Triple-A this season. Bortnick has reached Triple-A several times in his career, but we're not certain he'll get a shot to advance to the majors with the Tigers.

Anderson went 2-for-5 with a double and a run scored in Sunday's loss to the Indians.

He's hit the ground running since getting called up to the majors, putting together four multi-hit games en route to a .282 (11-for-39) batting average. He's got tremendous upside, but Anderson's 0:11 BB:K is a strong warning sign that he could be in for a rough stretch once the league adjusts to him, however.

Bogaerts went 2-for-4 with a solo homer in Saturday's 6-2 victory over the Mariners.

It was the eighth multi-hit effort in another typically outstanding month for Bogaerts, whose June line is now up to .359/.397/.531. The production Saturday has him within striking distance of both his homer and RBI total for all of May with plenty of time remaining in the month, and brought his season average up to a stellar .352.
