  • Red Sox's Xander Bogaerts: Swipes two bags in Wednesday's win

    Bogaerts went 1-for-4 with a walk, a double, a run scored, an RBI and two stolen bases in Wednesday's 7-1 win over the Blue Jays.

    The steals were his first since Aug. 8, but Bogaerts has now tied his career high (set last year) with 13 on the season. The 24-year-old has mostly had a disappointing year from a fantasy perspective, though, seeing his batting average, run production and OPS all drop from his breakout 2016.

  • Carlos Correa SS | HOU

    Astros' Carlos Correa: Could be activated Sunday

    Correa (thumb) will play in rehab games Thursday and Friday for Double-A Corpus Christi before potentially returning to the Astros' lineup Sunday, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    He is scheduled to play in a rehab game with Triple-A Fresno on Wednesday, and will then head to Frisco to join up with the Hooks. If all goes well, he will be evaluated Saturday before a potential activation for the series finale against the Mets.

  • Orlando Arcia SS | MIN

    Brewers' Orlando Arcia: Not in Wednesday's lineup

    Arcia is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Cardinals.

    Arcia will retreat to the bench following five straight starts, going just 2-for-17 (.118 average) at the plate during that span. In his place, Eric Sogard draws the start at shortstop while leading off.

  • Paul DeJong SS | DET

    Cardinals' Paul DeJong: Drives home three more

    DeJong went 2-for-5 with a walk, three RBI and two runs against the Brewers on Tuesday.

    All he's been doing is racking up stats. He endured a brief skid in late July and the first couple days of August, but DeJong emerged from it in impressive fashion -- over his last 23 games, he's gone 35-for-100 with six homers, 20 RBI and 15 runs. Even though he still strikes out too often and walks like Tuesday's are blessed rarities for the rookie, he's been a tremendous cross-category fantasy asset since taking over the shortstop job in St. Louis.

  • Corey Seager SS | TEX

    Dodgers' Corey Seager: Out at least until weekend

    Seager (elbow) will be out of the lineup for at least a few days, although he will be available as a pinch hitter, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

    The elbow soreness he has been dealing with for a couple weeks will lead to him being held out at least until this weekend's series in San Diego, although he could see some pinch hitting opportunities off the bench over the next few days. Enrique Hernandez and possibly Chris Taylor figure to see the starts at shortstop while Seager is out.

  • Corey Seager SS | TEX

    Dodgers' Corey Seager: Day-to-day with sore elbow

    Seager is out of Tuesday's lineup with a sore elbow but is available as a pinch hitter, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

    He has apparently been managing the injury for a couple weeks now, which explains why he has been held out of the lineup twice in the last five games. While Seager is available to hit, he is day-to-day to return to the field. Enrique Hernandez is filling in at shortstop and hitting eighth.

  • Corey Seager SS | TEX

    Dodgers' Corey Seager: Out of Tuesday's lineup

    Seager is out of Tuesday's lineup against the Diamondbacks, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

    He sits for the second time in the last five games, presumably in an effort to get him some occasional rest as the Dodgers gear up for what they hope will be a deep postseason run. Enrique Hernandez starts at shortstop and will hit eighth.

  • Carlos Correa SS | HOU

    Astros' Carlos Correa: Nearing return from DL

    Correa (thumb) is scheduled to play shortstop for Triple-A Fresno on Tuesday and Wednesday, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

    Correa has already appeared in three games for Fresno, going 2-for-9 (.222) with a pair of RBI. If all goes well playing back-to-back days, Correa could find himself back with the Astros over the weekend, though an activation before rosters expand on Friday has been ruled out, according to Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle.

  • Trea Turner SS | PHI

    Nationals' Trea Turner: Activated, leading off Tuesday

    Turner (wrist) was officially activated from the 60-day DL on Tuesday and is leading off and starting at shortstop against the Marlins, Jorge Castillo of The Washington Post reports.

    It had already been confirmed that Turner was on track to be activated, and the Nationals waste no time deploying him back atop the lineup. With a little over a month left in the season, Turner still has plenty of time to make a significant impact in all five roto categories -- most notably steals and runs. He hit .279/.324/.422 with seven home runs and 35 steals in 68 games prior to suffering the injury.

  • Indians' Francisco Lindor: Won't play Tuesday due to postponement

    Lindor won't play Tuesday after the Indians' game against the Yankees was postponed due to rain, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

    The two teams will make up Tuesday's contest as part of a doubleheader Wednesday. Lindor went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in the series opener Monday, ending a four-game hit streak in which he had supplied three home runs and six RBI.
