  • Carlos Correa SS | HOU

    Astros' Carlos Correa: Records extra-base hit

    Correa went 1-for-3 with a double Sunday against Arizona.

    Correa recorded double No. 12 of the season Sunday and continues to put together solid production at the plate. He's batting .299 with five home runs and 25 RBI through his first 35 games. Correa should continue to put up decent power numbers as the season progresses.

  • Aledmys Diaz 1B | HOU

    Blue Jays' Aledmys Diaz: X-rays negative

    X-rays on the left ankle of DIaz -- who exited Sunday's game in the fifth inning -- came back negative, but the shortstop will be sent for an MRI.

    The Blue Jays are referring to the injury as a sprain for now but have decided to send Diaz for a precautionary MRI to learn more about the injury. With a team day off Monday, consider Diaz day-to-day heading into Tuesday's series opener against Seattle.

    Blue Jays' Aledmys Diaz: Departs with apparent ankle injury

    Diaz exited Sunday's game against the Rays in the top of the fifth inning with an apparent left ankle injury, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Diaz sustained the injury while running out an RBI infield single, with the shortstop seemingly turning his ankle upon touching the outside of the bag and immediately falling to the infield in pain. Per Steve Carney of Sports Radio 620 WDAE, Diaz was carted off the field, suggesting more than a day-to-day injury may be in play. The Blue Jays will presumably evaluate Diaz in the locker room and issue an update on his condition after the game.

  • Miguel Rojas 2B | LAD

    Marlins' Miguel Rojas: Retreats to bench

    Rojas is out of the lineup Sunday against the Reds.

    Rojas has been Miami's starting shortstop for each of the last 10 games, and is 7-for-36 (.194) over that span. He's in the lineup more for his defense than his bat, owning just a .654 OPS this season (which wouldn't even be a career low). He'll head to the bench Sunday, however, giving way to Yadiel Rivera.

  • Ehire Adrianza 3B | LAA

    Twins' Ehire Adrianza: Logs third straight start

    Adrianza will start at shortstop and bat eighth Sunday against the White Sox, Dan Hayes of The Athletic Minnesota reports.

    Miguel Sano's (hamstring) placement on the disabled list earlier this month has opened the door for Adrianza to pick up added work at shortstop with Eduardo Escobar shifting over to third base. Sunday will mark Adrianza's third consecutive start, an indication he's moved ahead of Gregorio Petit on the depth chart. As a glove-first player who occupies a low spot in the batting order, Adrianza will likely struggle to provide much fantasy utility even in AL-only formats while he receives regular action.

  • Trea Turner SS | PHI

    Nationals' Trea Turner: Returns to shortstop Sunday

    Turner is back in the starting lineup Sunday against the Phillies, batting second in the order and getting the nod at shortstop.

    Turner received a rare day off Saturday, but drew a walk during a pinch-hit appearance, proving his absence was nothing physical. He'll be right back in his regular role for this one, however, hitting out of the two spot for the fifth time in the last six games.

  • Richard Urena SS | WAS

    Blue Jays' Richard Urena: Returns to minors

    The Blue Jays optioned Urena to Triple-A Buffalo on Sunday.

    Urena had been with the Blue Jays for the past four games while Justin Smoak was on paternity leave, but didn't leave the bench in any of those contests. He'll likely reclaim an everyday role in the Buffalo infield upon heading back to the affiliate.

  • Tim Anderson 2B | LAA

    White Sox's Tim Anderson: Bashes two homers Saturday

    Anderson went 3-for-4 with a double, two solo homers and an additional run scored in Saturday's loss to the Twins.

    Anderson has been in a bit of a rough patch lately, with just one hit in his last 18 at-bats heading into Saturday, but his big performance will hopefully get him going again. He's now hitting .261/.307/.462 with six homers and 10 stolen bases through 31 games this season.

  • Corey Seager SS | TEX

    Dodgers' Corey Seager: Tommy John surgery successful

    Seager (elbow) had successful Tommy John surgery Friday, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

    Seager is expected to make a full recovery but won't get to prove it until next year, as he's already been ruled out for the season. Chris Taylor should receive the majority of starts at shortstop for the remainder of the season.

  • Javier Baez SS | DET

    Cubs' Javier Baez: Blasts home run Saturday

    Baez went 1-for-5 with a home run and two RBI in Saturday's loss to the Cardinals.

    Baez has been locked in at the plate this season, as he now has eight home runs to go along with a .283 average and .959 OPS. His career high in home runs is 23, set a season ago, and the 25-year-old could definitely surpass that mark if he keeps this up.
