Carlos Correa SS | HOU
Twins' Carlos Correa: Exits early Tuesday
Correa was removed from Tuesday's game against the Red Sox due to lightheadedness, Audra Martin of FanDuel Sports Network North reports.
Correa initially remained in the game after getting looked at by a trainer following his first-inning single, but he didn't feel any better after a few minutes and was removed from the game in the third. Fantasy managers can consider the 30-year-old shortstop day-to-day for the time being.

Corey Seager SS | TEX
Rangers' Corey Seager: Resting Tuesday
Seager is not in the Rangers' lineup Tuesday against the Angels.
Seager is getting his first day off since June 23. In the 28 games he has played in since then, he has slashed an astounding .330/.462/.650 with eight home runs and a 24:23 K:BB across 130 plate appearances. The shortstop had a .711 OPS prior to June 23 but has increased it by 152 points starting then. With the 31-year-old resting on the bench Tuesday, Ezequiel Duran enters the lineup at first base as Josh Smith moves over to shortstop.

Max Schuemann 2B | ATH
Athletics' Max Schuemann: Taking seat Tuesday
Schuemann isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mariners.
Schuemann is expected to receive regular action at shortstop with Jacob Wilson (forearm) now on the injured list, but the A's will give the former a day off Tuesday following his 0-for-4 performance Monday. Darell Hernaiz will fill in at short and bat ninth.

Jacob Wilson SS | ATH
Athletics' Jacob Wilson: Placed on injured list
The Athletics placed Wilson on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a fractured left forearm, retroactive to Saturday.
Wilson sat out the Athletics' last three games due to what was initially described as a bruised hand that he had been playing through since getting hit by a pitch before the All-Star break. Now that his injury has been revealed to be a forearm fracture, he'll land on the IL and receive time to recover properly. Darell Hernaiz was recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas in a corresponding move to replenish the big club's infield depth, though Max Schuemann projects as the likely choice to take over as the Athletics' primary shortstop.

Javier Baez SS | DET
Tigers' Javier Baez: Out of Tuesday's lineup
Baez is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Diamondbacks.
Baez started the previous seven games and will receive a day off after going 4-for-22 with nine strikeouts during that stretch. Zach McKinstry will step in at shortstop and bat seventh for Detroit.

Bo Bichette SS | TOR
Blue Jays' Bo Bichette: New MLB hits leader
Bichette went 4-for-5 in Monday's loss to the Orioles.
All four knocks were singles, and none of them led to any runs, but Bichette remains laser-focused at the dish. The shortstop has a 10-game hitting streak going in which he's slashing .422/.435/.644 with seven doubles, a homer, six runs and 12 RBI, and per Mitch Bannon of The Athletic, he set a new Blue Jays franchise over the last two contests with hits in nine consecutive at-bats. Bichette's 130 hits on the season leads the majors, as he moved one ahead of Aaron Judge (wrist) with Monday's performance.

Colson Montgomery SS | CHW
White Sox's Colson Montgomery: Power surge continues Monday
Montgomery went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional RBI in Monday's 6-2 win over the Phillies.
Although the rookie infielder's six-game hitting streak came to an end in Sunday's loss to the Cubs, Montgomery smashed his fourth homer in his past six outings Monday. Montgomery is off to quite an encouraging start to his major-league career, slashing .273/.333/.515 with the aforementioned four long balls, two doubles, one triple and 16 RBI through his first 73 plate appearances.

J.P. Crawford SS | SEA
Mariners' J.P. Crawford: Sitting Monday
Crawford is not in the Mariners' starting lineup against the Athletics on Monday.
Crawford will get a rest day while Dylan Moore starts at shortstop and bats eighth. Crawford has been cold at the plate since the All-Star break, going 4-for-43 (.093) with two doubles, one RBI and a 25.0 percent strikeout rate.

Jose Caballero 2B | NYY
Rays' Jose Caballero: On bench for second straight
Caballero is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Yankees.
Though the Rays remain without Brandon Lowe (foot) and Ha-Seong Kim (back), manager Kevin Cash doesn't appear ready to commit to Caballero in an everyday role in the middle infield just yet. The American League's stolen-base leader will be on the bench for the second straight day Monday, with both of his absences coming against right-handed starting pitchers. The Rays should have a regular spot in the lineup available for the right-handed-hitting Caballero against left-handed pitching, but he may have to settle for more of a timeshare at second base with the lefty-hitting Tristan Gray when Tampa Bay faces righties.

Jadher Areinamo SS | TB
Rays' Jadher Areinamo: Dealt to Tampa Bay
The Rays acquired Areinamo from the Brewers on Monday in exchange for catcher Danny Jansen and cash considerations, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports.
Areinamo, 21, has slashed .297/.355/.463 with 11 home runs and 15 stolen bases in 94 games this season at High-A Wisconsin. He is capable of playing shortstop, second base and third base.
