Correa went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and two walks in Sunday's win over Texas.

Correa extended his hitting streak to 10 games with a home run to center off Martin Perez in the third inning, his 11th long ball of the season. During the hit streak, Correa is 20-for-44 (.455), raising his average to .315 for the season. His 39 RBI rank him first in the majors among shortstops. It seems like the entire Astros lineup is clicking right now, and Correa has been right in the middle of it all. Keep riding this hot streak.

Correa went 1-for-5 with a three-run homer in Friday's 7-1 win over Texas.

Correa is absolutely scorching right now. Since a two-game absence due to illness, the shortstop has hit safely in eight straight games, including multiple hits in six of them. He's 17-for-36 with four homers, two doubles, 13 RBI and eight runs scored during the streak. His 37 RBI lead the team, which isn't too surprising considering how often Jose Altuve gets on base in front of him.

Adames, 21, is hitting .230/.309/.344 with two home runs, 21 RBI and three steals through 46 games at Triple-A.

Adames has struggled to make contact this season, fanning 50 times in those 46 games. With Tim Beckham finally starting to hit and Daniel Robertson proving a capable backup, there does not appear to be a place for Adames right now at the big league level. As a result, he will continue to bide his time at Triple-A.

Lindor went 1-for-4 with his 12th homer Wednesday, accounting for all of Cleveland's scoring in a 3-1 loss to the A's.

His batting average is lingering at .276, thanks in no small part to an identical .276 BABIP -- a far lower figure than the .348 and .324 marks Lindor posted in his first two seasons. There's a detectable reason for that, though -- Lindor's hitting the ball in the air at the highest rate of his career by a huge margin. He's also making more hard contact than ever, so the stats seem to indicate that Lindor is selling out to hit homers, but if that's indeed his goal, he's managing to accomplish it without sacrificing his contact abilities. That suggests he'll be able to pull his average up while continuing to hit for power; he'll more than likely exceed last season's career-best 15 homers well before the All-Star break.

Correa went 3-for-6 with a home run, two runs scored and three RBI in Wednesday's 17-6 rout of the Twins.

His first-inning blast, Correa's ninth homer of the season and third in the last week, got the Astros started on what wound up being a six-homer, 19-hit attack. The 22-year-old shortstop is well on his way to a career season, sporting a .316/.390/.524 slash line through 48 games.

Adrianza has seven hits in 22 at-bats since coming off the disabled list in early May.

The utility infielder has seen infrequent playing time for Minnesota thus far but has found success when in the lineup. He carries a .318/.370/.364 slash line and will see occasional time in left field in addition to the infield spots, making him a versatile bench option for the Twins.

Anderson went 2-for-5 with a home run and two RBI in Tuesday's 13-7 loss to the Red Sox.

Manager Rick Renteria continues to move Anderson up and down the batting order, but the shortstop's been very comfortable in the seven-hole. In nine games as the seventh-place hitter, Anderson is 16-for-35 (.457, 1.358 OPS) with four homers and seven RBI. He's enjoyed a good month of May, bouncing back from an awful April when he primarily hit leadoff or second. We'd like to see Renteria let Anderson build momentum down the order and not try to force him into being something he's not yet ready to be.

Bogaerts went 4-for-5 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 13-7 win over the White Sox.

After waiting until last Thursday to hit his first homer of the season, Bogaerts needed just five games to go yard again. In addition to the power surge, he's now hitting .417/.450/.639 with two steals, eight RBI and 10 runs over his last nine games.

Pennington went 2-for-4 in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Braves.

The utility man notched his first multi-hit effort since May 12 in Monday's loss, snapping an 0-for-8 slump. Pennington has bounced back after a difficult April in which he hit just .179, as he's now slashing .279/.354/.279 over 48 plate appearances in May.

Correa went 3-for-5 with a home run, a double, three RBI and three runs during Monday's win over Minnesota.

Correa has strung together five consecutive multi-hit games with two doubles, two homers, six RBI and five runs. He sports a .311/.386/.514 slash line with eight bombs, 30 RBI and 33 runs for the campaign, and the 22-year-old Correa has a good chance at posting career-best numbers hitting in the heart of Houston's lineup.
