  • Carlos Correa SS | HOU

    Astros' Carlos Correa: Hitless in return

    Correa went 0-for-3 with a walk in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Mariners.

    Correa was activated off the disabled list Friday and made his first appearance after missing 36 games due to a back injury. It's probably wise to expect some period of adjustment for the slugging shortstop, whose .825 OPS is well off last season's pace of .941. His production should also begin to align with his career norms once the Astros get Jose Altuve (knee) and George Springer (thumb) back from injury.

  • Braves' Johan Camargo: Four hits in win over Brewers

    Camargo went 4-for-5 with two doubles, two runs scored and two RBI in Friday's 10-1 win over the Brewers.

    The 24-year-old continues to impress at the plate, and Camargo is now slashing .310/.347/.563 with four homers, 12 runs and 13 RBI in 19 games since the All-Star break. Even in shallow fantasy formats, his current form should earn him a consistent spot in the lineup.

  • Ehire Adrianza 3B | LAA

    Twins' Ehire Adrianza: Three hits in loss to Tigers

    Adrianza went 3-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Tigers.

    He'd been mired in a 1-for-22 slump since the All-Star break, so Friday's outburst was a welcome one for the 28-year-old utility man. While Logan Forsythe is off to a great start to his Twins tenure and is solidifying his hold on the second base job, Adrianza should continue to fill in a few times a week all around the infield.

  • Willy Adames SS | SF

    Rays' Willy Adames: Three-hit night with three runs

    Adames went 3-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base, two doubles and three runs scored in Friday's win over the Blue Jays.

    Adames slashed his third and fourth doubles of the year and logged his third stolen base in Friday's contest. Adames has now recorded a hit in four consecutive games, bringing his slash line to .236/.287/.368 on the year. The young rookie has five home runs, 14 RBI and 20 runs in 43 games this season.

  • Red Sox's Xander Bogaerts: Homers and drives in four

    Bogaerts went 1-for-4 with a homer, a steal, a pair of walks, two runs and four RBI in Friday's win over the Orioles.

    Bogaerts drove in the first three of Boston's 19 runs with a three-run homer in the top of the first inning off Dylan Bundy. His steal was just his fourth of the year, well off the 15 he picked up last season, but he now has 17 homers, four off his career high.

  • Willy Adames SS | SF

    Rays' Willy Adames: Singles, steals in win

    Adames went 1-for-4 with a run and a stolen base in the Rays' win over the Orioles on Thursday.

    The rookie swiped his second bag of the season, a key development in that it moved him into scoring position for Jake Bauers' eventual go-ahead two-run single. Although he's hitting only .220 over the first eight games of August, Adames seems to progressively be figuring out big-league arms, now having reached safely in six straight games.

  • Carlos Correa SS | HOU

    Astros' Carlos Correa: Returns from disabled list

    Correa (back) was officially activated off the 10-day disabled list Friday, Jake Kaplan of The Athletic Houston reports.

    Correa makes his return for the second game of the series against Seattle, as expected, after missing 36 games due to back stiffness. The 23-year-old was slashing .268/.352/.480 with 13 home runs prior to landing on the disabled list, and should be back in the lineup at shortstop for the Astros on Friday.

  • J.P. Crawford SS | SEA

    Phillies' J.P. Crawford: Reinstated from disabled list

    Crawford (hand) was activated from the 10-day DL on Friday.

    Crawford will be available for this weekend's three-game set in San Diego after spending the past seven weeks on the shelf with a fractured left hand. With the addition of Asdrubal Cabrera near the trade deadline, it remains to be seen what kind of role Crawford will have, though it's likely that he will be utilized as a reserve infielder moving forward. During 34 games this year, he's hit just .194/.312/.333 with two home runs, eight RBI and two stolen bases.

  • Carlos Correa SS | HOU

    Astros' Carlos Correa: Slated for Friday activation

    Correa (back) is expected to come off the 10-day disabled list prior to Friday's game against the Mariners, Christian Boutwell of MLB.com reports.

    Correa was back with the team Thursday, and after missing 36 games while on the shelf, he'll return to action over the weekend and resume his role as the everyday shortstop. He was slashing .268/.352/.480 with 13 homers and 49 RBI through 73 games before suffering a back injury. J.D. Davis was sent back to the minors in a corresponding move.

  • Indians' Francisco Lindor: Drive in three vs. Twins

    Lindor went 2-for-5 with a double and three RBI in Thursday's 5-4 win over Minnesota.

    Lindor delivered a two-run single in the second inning, and he doubled home a run in the fourth to push the lead to four. He's now recorded five straight multi-hit games, going 10-for-23 with two homers and seven RBI over that span. The 24-year-old shortstop has a chance to match if not surpass his totals from 2017, as he's batting .298 with 29 home runs and 74 RBI through 113 games this season, compared to .273 with 33 homers and 89 RBI last year.
