Seager is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the White Sox.

Seager started the previous 15 games but will sit Tuesday after going 1-for-16 over the past five contests. Jonathan Ornelas will receive a start at shortstop versus White Sox lefty Garrett Crochet.

Baez is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game at Cleveland, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Baez started the previous three games after missing a couple contests due to a back injury, and he'll sit Tuesday while in the midst of a 6-for-48 slump. Zach McKinstry will start at shortstop and bat eighth for Detroit.

Hernaiz (ankle) started at shortstop and played six innings in Triple-A Las Vegas' loss to Salt Lake on Sunday, going 2-for-3 with a run.

Hernaiz was encouragingly able to log a solid workload on defense just a day after playing a full game at designated hitter, and he hit safely for the second time in as many contests as well. Through two games, Hernaiz's rehab assignment appears to be going as smoothly as possible, but he still figures to remain on the farm for several more contests at minimum before activation is considered.

Schuemann went 2-for-3 with an RBI single and a run in a win over the Astros on Monday.

Schuemann closed out the scoring on the night in the fourth inning with his timely knock, which plated Zack Gelof. The rookie has emerged from the All-Star break with a sizzling bat, going 6-for-11 with two doubles, a home run, six RBI, three walks and seven runs over his first four games. However, he's been consistently delivering at the plate for the majority of July, a month in which he's mustered a .396 average, 1.133 OPS, five extra-base hits and 11 RBI across 60 plate appearances.

DeJong went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's extra-inning loss against the Rangers.

DeJong managed his second homer of the month and 17th of the season Monday. However, he has slumped significantly in July, hitting .163 with a 31.5 percent strikeout rate across 15 games. DeJong also has the potential to slip into a part-time role due to the promotion of Brooks Baldwin, though he has still managed to start three of the last four games in a split between shortstop and third base.

Baldwin went 1-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base in Monday's extra-inning loss against the Rangers.

Baldwin has started all four games at second base since being promoted for his big-league debut Friday. He's gone 2-for-14 with six strikeouts, though he showed some of his fantasy potential with both his first RBI and stolen base as a big-leaguer in Monday's contest. Baldwin's primary fantasy value looks likely to come from his speed, as he had 17 stolen bases across 82 games with Double-A Birmingham and Triple-A Charlotte before reaching the majors.

Crawford suffered a hairline fracture of his pinky finger during Monday's game against the Angels, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Crawford will require a trip to the 10-day injured list, though the timeline for a potential return remains uncertain. Dylan Moore should see opportunities at shortstop until Crawford returns to health, and the Mariners could also recall Ryan Bliss, who was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma earlier in the day.

Witt went 3-for-4 with a three-run homer, a triple, a double and three runs scored in Monday's win over Arizona.

Witt has been on a rampage since returning from the All-Star break. He knocked three extra-base hits Monday, including his three-run shot off Miguel Castro in the fourth inning. Witt has collected three hits in four straight games, and his OPS on the season has jumped from .928 to .979 as a result. He has racked up 55 extra-base hits with 22 steals and 82 runs scored in 101 games.

Crawford left Monday's game against the Angels after being struck by a pitch on the arm, Shannon Drayer of SeattleSports.com reports.

Crawford was initially able to remain in the game to run the bases, but he was lifted after coming around to score. The severity of the injury is unknown at this time. Dylan Moore replaced Crawford at shortstop.

Correa (heel) was wearing a walking boot in the clubhouse before Monday's game against the Phillies, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

Correa was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday due to right plantar fasciitis, and he noted that he'll be in the walking boot for at least a few more days. The shortstop also said he wasn't sure he'll begin baseball activities immediately after shedding the boot, but he's hoping he won't miss more than another week or two. An updated timeline for Correa's return could be provided by the Twins later in the week.
