  • Dansby Swanson SS | CHC

    Braves' Dansby Swanson: Blasts fourth home run

    Swanson went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a single in Sunday's victory over the Phillies.

    Swanson smoked his fourth homer of the year off Aaron Nola in the first inning. The shortstop was 5-for-11 in the series with his division rivals and he is now slashing .226/.299/.387 as he starts to pick it up after a sluggish start to the season.

  • Willy Adames SS | SF

    Rays' Willy Adames: Belts three-run homer

    Adames went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Athletics.

    Adames came up huge with a game-tying three-run shot in the fifth inning off Cole Irvin. Although the 25-year-old shortstop entered Sunday in a massive slump, the crucial homer might have earned him a spot in the lineup for the first game of Tuesday's homestand against the Yankees.

  • Bo Bichette 3B | NYM

    Blue Jays' Bo Bichette: Doubles in two runs

    Bichette went 2-for-4 with a double, a run scored and two RBI in Sunday's 7-4 loss to Houston.

    Down 7-0, the Blue Jays made a push with a four-run fifth inning that included Bichette's two-run double. He came around to score that inning on a Vladimir Guerrero base knock. The 23-year-old improved his season slash line to .267/.310/.496 with 15 extra-base hits and 20 RBI.

  • Carlos Correa SS | HOU

    Astros' Carlos Correa: Heads to bench Sunday

    Correa is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

    Manager Dusty Baker will extend Correa a day off while he's stuck in a 1-for-27 slump at the plate that has dropped his season average to .246. Robel Garcia steps in at shortstop for Correa in the series finale.

  • Javier Baez SS | DET

    Cubs' Javier Baez: Sitting out Sunday

    Baez (back) is not in the lineup Sunday against the Pirates.

    The 28-year-old exited Saturday's contest with back tightness, and he'll receive two days to rest between Sunday and Monday's scheduled off day. Ildemaro Vargas will work at shortstop in the series finale in Baez's absence for Chicago.

  • Mets' Francisco Lindor: Drives in one, swipes bag

    Lindor went 2-for-3 with a double, one RBI, one run, a walk and a stolen base in the Mets' 4-2 win over the Diamondbacks on Saturday.

    Lindor may finally be catching a bit of a hot streak. The perennial All-Star reached base safely nine times in his last three games. He has a home run, three RBI, three runs and a stolen base in that stretch. Despite the recent burst, the 27-year-old is slashing a brutal .190/.317/.270 in 121 plate appearances with his new team.

  • Corey Seager SS | TEX

    Dodgers' Corey Seager: Three singles

    Seager went 3-for-5 with two runs and an RBI in Saturday's 14-11 win over the Angels.

    Seager reached base three times in the game's fourth and fifth innings, scoring twice in that stretch as the Dodgers tallied 11 runs. The game raised his line to .260/.361/.433.

  • Ehire Adrianza 3B | LAA

    Braves' Ehire Adrianza: Perfect night at dish

    Adrianza went 3-for-3 with a run, RBI and walk as Atlanta beat Philadelphia 8-7 Saturday.

    Adrianza entered in the seventh and proceeded to get on base four times in five innings, including a walk-off single in the 12th. He's been successful in a reserve role this season with a .302/.340/.535 slash line.

  • Giants' Brandon Crawford: Launches three-run homer

    Crawford went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and a walk in Saturday's win over the Padres.

    Crawford blasted his seventh long ball of the campaign in the second inning, and the veteran shortstop has now gone deep in three of his last five games. He has also hit safely in four contests while posting an excellent 6:1 BB:K during that five-game stretch.

  • Red Sox's Xander Bogaerts: Mashes seventh homer

    Bogaerts went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run and a second run scored in Saturday's 11-6 win over the Orioles.

    His sixth-inning blast off Tyler Wells capped the scoring for the Red Sox on the night. The shortstop is locked in at the plate, and over the last eight games Bogaerts has gone 14-for-33 (.424) with four of his seven homers on the season, adding eight RBI and 11 runs for good measure.
