Lindor went 3-for-4 with two RBI and two runs in Saturday's win over the Royals.

Lindor's double in the sixth inning gave him an extra-base hit in 10 straight games -- a club record and four shy of the major league mark of 14, shared by Chipper Jones (2006) and Paul Waner (1927). According to the Associated Press, the Tribe's star is the first shortstop in the modern era with an extra-base hit in 10 straight games. Through 146 games, Lindor is hitting .281 with a career-high .852 OPS, and he ranks ninth in the AL with 90 runs.

Bogaerts went 4-for-7 with a walk, a hit-by-pitch, two RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 13-6 extra-inning win over the Rays.

Bogaerts delivered a ninth-inning single to complete a three-run ninth inning, extending the game into extra frames. He appears to be breaking out of the long, extended slump that began in July when he was hit by a pitch on the hand. Over the last six games, he's 10-for-24 with three RBI and eight runs scored. He's also been hit by pitches the last two games, which comes at a time when he's getting over the original hand injury.

Anderson has reintroduced a running game to his offense this month, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Anderson had gone 72 games with just two attempted steals before swiping five bags in five attempts over the last nine games. Basestealing was a big part of his game in the minors -- Anderson stole 49 bases at Double-A Birmingham in 2015 -- and he said he got away from it in the majors for a variety of reasons. "Kind of got caught up in trying to impress when I got to the big leagues -- kind of lost focus with it and being not sure or kind of scared in certain spots, because I didn't want to get thrown out," he said. "Now it's just, 'So what if I get thrown out. Just go.'" With Anderson's power beginning to develop -- the 24-year-old has 16 home runs this season -- we're looking at a potential 20-20 man for the White Sox over the next several seasons.

Bichette slashed a ridiculous .372/.427/.591 with 14 home runs, 74 RBI, 88 runs and 22 stolen bases through 110 combined games at Low-A Lansing and High-A Dunedin.

Bichette has quietly produced numbers more impressive than Toronto's highly-touted top prospect, Vlad Guerrero. Both the aforementioned teenagers are sons of former MLB All-Stars, and both played up to the hype in 2017. Selected in the second round of the 2016 draft, Bichette -- a six-foot, 200 pound shortstop -- owns a stellar .372 batting average, and 1.018 OPS through his first two professional seasons. He's proven to be an all-around beast on offense, and Bichette shouldn't make it past 2018 dynasty drafts without being rostered.

Anderson went 3-for-7 with two RBI and two runs scored in Thursday's 17-7 win over the Tigers.

Anderson's been raking since the beginning of August, slashing .315/.327/.549/.877 with seven home runs, 11 doubles, three triples and five stolen bases over 38 games. He's also played better defense of late, committing just four of his 26 errors since Aug. 2. Anderson attributes his turnaround to going to see a counselor, according to Colleen Kane of the Chicago Tribune. The young shortstop has been dealing with the shooting death of a close friend since early in the season and feels he's been freer since talking it out.

Chang finished his first Double-A campaign with a .220/.312/.461 slash line, 24 home runs, 66 RBI and 72 runs.

Although his average dipped from his first few professional seasons, Chang impressively led Eastern League shortstops in home runs, RBI and runs. The 22-year-old native of Taiwan also chipped in 11 stolen bases, matching his 2016 total with High-A Lynchburg. Chang will need to improve his batting average, and show more plate discipline before becoming an option for the big-league club.

Urena went 1-for-4 with an RBI double, but also stuck out three times hitting from the leadoff spot in Wednesday's 2-1 loss to Baltimore.

The shortstop extended his modest hitting streak to six games, a run that includes a .400 batting average, a home run, two doubles, four RBI and three runs. On the flip side, Urena has also stuck out 12 times during that six-game stretch. Toronto is committed to getting a good look at the youngster, but his strikeout rate could force manager John Gibbons to move the prospect out of the leadoff spot, thus reducing Urena's volume and opportunities.

Anderson went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Royals.

Anderson's doing his best to make fantasy owners forget about the first five months of his season, hitting a robust .405 (17-for-42) with six extra-base hits and four steals since the calendar flipped to September. His 16 home runs and 10 steals from the shortstop position signals a valuable fantasy asset. The damage has already been done in 2017, but it's encouraging to see him affirm the organization's belief that he can be a part of the rebuild process going forward.

Urena went 3-for-5 with a game-winning RBI single in the Jays' walkoff win Tuesday against Baltimore.

The young shortstop capped off a two-run bottom of the ninth to stun O's closer Zach Britton. Since being called up with expanded rosters on Sept. 1, Urena is 11-for-29 (.379) with three RBI and four runs. Owners who can stomach his high strikeout rate can potentially benefit from the Jays' newest leadoff hitter.

Lindor went 1-for-3 with a solo home run -- his third in the last four games -- and a walk in Tuesday's victory over Detroit.

Lindor's bomb made him just the third shortstop in MLB history to hit 30-plus homers in a season by age 23, MLB.com reports. During the Tribe's current 20-game winning streak, Lindor is hitting .364 with a 1.229 OPS to go alongside nine home runs and 19 RBI. Simply put, in his third MLB season, the youngster has emerged as one of the most dynamic players in the game.
