Perdomo will sit Tuesday against the Padres.

Perdomo sits after going hitless in his last nine games. Jake Hager will take over at shortstop.

Correa went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in a 3-2 loss to Cleveland during the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader.

His eighth-inning shot off Sam Hentges gave the Twins a brief 2-1 lead, but Emilio Pagan handed it right back to the Guardians in the bottom of the frame. Correa extended his hitting streak to eight games with the performance, a stretch during which he's batting .344 (11-for-32) with four of his nine homers on the year.

Cruz went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Monday against the Nationals.

Cruz occupied the leadoff spot for the Pirates and smacked his first homer of 2022 in the fifth inning against Erick Fedde. He has delivered production in line with his promising tools across eight games in Pittsburgh by racking up four extra-base hits, driving in eight, scoring five runs and swiping a base.

Mateo went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 9-2 win over the Mariners.

Mateo has gone yard twice in his last three games, and he now has six homers on the year. He's shown decent pop for a shortstop with a .140 ISO in 68 contests. The 27-year-old is slashing .201/.250/.341 with 19 stolen bases, 18 RBI and 24 runs scored across 246 plate appearances, and he's taken on a near-everyday role this year.

Correa went 1-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Monday's 11-1 win over the Guardians.

Correa's home run -- his eighth of the season -- was one of three on the day for the Twins, who rolled to a comfortable victory in the series opener. The long ball also extended Correa's hit streak to seven games, with the 27-year-old having produced a 1.023 OPS over that stretch. He'll be back in the lineup for the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader in Cleveland, manning shortstop while batting second.

Witt went 1-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base in Monday's 10-4 loss to the Rangers.

The rookie is putting the finishing touches on a solid June. Through 24 games on the month, Witt has a .264/.324/.505 slash line with five of his 11 homers and five of his 12 steals in addition to 14 RBI and 17 runs. While there could be more growing pains ahead, the 22-year-old could also be gearing up for a very big second half.

Edman went 1-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base in Monday's 9-0 rout of the Marlins.

The 27-year-old infielder is in a bit of a funk at the plate, batting .147 (5-for-34) over the last eight games, but he's still maintained fantasy value with three steals. Edman is up to 18 stolen base on the season to go along with a .269/.340/.398 slash line, seven homers, 31 RBI and 56 runs through 74 contests.

Berti went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Monday's 9-0 loss to the Cardinals.

Brian Anderson made his return to action Monday and got the start at third base, but Berti slid over to second base and hit leadoff in the contest with Jazz Chisholm (undisclosed) getting another day off. Berti has hit safely in 11 straight starts, batting .356 (16-for-45) over that stretch with 10 of his 22 steals on the season.

Anderson went 1-for-3 with a walk, a run and two stolen bases in Monday's loss to the Angels.

As usual, Anderson hit atop the lineup and served as an instigator for the White Sox offense. He singled to lead off the fourth and subsequently swiped second and third base, though he was left stranded without crossing the plate. The shortstop then scored Chicago's first run after walking in the sixth inning. Anderson has once again been one of the league's best hitters this season, slashing .339/.378/.466 with five homers, 28 runs, 19 RBI and 10 stolen bases over 201 plate appearances. He's on pace for his fourth straight season with a batting average over .300.

Crawford has been suspended five games for his role in Sunday's brawl with the Angels, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Crawford was one of seven players to be suspended for the incident, though his ban was among the longest of the group. He is appealing the discipline, so he remains in the Mariners' lineup as the starting shortstop while hitting leadoff Monday against the Orioles.
