Correa is out of the lineup Sunday against the Red Sox.

The Astros are using Sunday as a chance to rest a handful of their regular starters, so Correa will get the day off. Marwin Gonzalez will start at shortstop in his place. Correa will carry a .315/.391/.550 line into Thursday's playoff game against Boston.

Bogaerts is out of the lineup Sunday against the Astros.

Bogaerts has been putting on a show at the plate lately. Over the last seven games, he's hit .379/.419/.552 with five RBI. He's heating up at the right time for Boston, as the Red Sox are beginning a playoff series against Houston on Thursday. Deven Marrero will start at shortstop with Bogaerts out.

Anderson is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Indians.

Anderson will receive a standard day off following 21 straight starts, while slashing .322/.337/.444 during that span. In his place, Tyler Saladino will pick up a start at shortstop.

Correa went 4-for-4 with a double, a home run, a walk, three runs scored and three RBI in Thursday's 12-2 win over Boston.

Correa has produced consecutive four-hit efforts while combining for three home runs and two doubles in those two games. It looks like the thumb injury Correa suffered earlier this season is fully behind him, which is great news both for the talented infielder with the playoffs approaching and for fantasy owners benefiting from his heroics down the stretch.

Correa went 4-for-5 with a double, two home runs and four RBI during Wednesday's win over Texas.

While missing approximately a month and a half of the season due to a thumb injury definitely robbed Correa from a career-best showing, he's still posted an impressive fantasy campaign. He's now up to 23 homers, 81 RBI, 78 runs with a .308/.382/.539 slash line for the year and still has a few more games on the schedule to pad those statistics.

Urena is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Red Sox.

Urena is just 1-for-21 (.048) with 10 strikeouts in his previous eight contests, so he'll start on the bench for a fourth straight game. Ryan Goins, who appears to have reclaimed his role as the Blue Jays' everyday shortstop, will draw another start in his place.

Anderson went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 8-1 win over the Royals.

Anderson extended his hitting streak to a career-high 15 games, continuing a surge that kicked off Aug. 1. During that run, he's brought his speed back into play -- Sunday's stolen base was his ninth over the last 17 games. Speed was an element of his game when he was in the minors, but Anderson got away from it for a while once he hit the majors.

Urena is out of the lineup Sunday against the Yankees.

After seeing regular playing time at shortstop early in September, Urena has spent far less time in the lineup lately as he's started just one of Toronto's last five games. Darwin Barney is starting at second base while Ryan Goins moves to shortstop Sunday.

Correa went 3-for-3 with a walk, a double, three RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Angels.

Correa's transition from a thumb injury hasn't gone as smoothly as he'd like, as he's .182 (12-for-66) in 17 games since the Astros activated him off the 10-day disabled list. He had missed so much time due to the injury, it's natural that it's taking Correa some time to get back to form. He squared up a couple of balls and received an intentional free pass Saturday, a good sign he's rounding into form for the postseason. Perhaps Friday's day off was just the ticket.

Lindor went 2-for-5 with a double, a homer and three runs Saturday against the Mariners.

Lindor smashed his 33rd homer of the campaign to open the scoring for the Indians in the first inning of a road victory. He's launched eight homers while hitting over .300 this month, and he certainly has done everything in his power to help fantasy owners during the most important time of the season.
