Baez went 3-for-4 with two doubles and an RBI in Sunday's win over the Reds.

Baez entered the contest just 1-for-16 over his last five games, so it was nice to see the youngster string a few hits together. With Ben Zobrist back in the mix at second base after returning from a wrist injury over the weekend, Baez could be squeezed a bit for playing time. However, his versatility should get him into the lineup on a fairly regular basis, and he's capable of putting up big games like he did Sunday.

Owings went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run during Sunday's win over Colorado.

Owings had flashed signs through his first few tours of the majors, but he's put it all together in 2017 with a .297/.332/.507 slash line, 12 bombs, 49 RBI, 11 stolen bases and 37 runs. He's recently settled into the fifth slot in the lineup behind Paul Goldschmidt and Jake Lamb, which projects favorably moving forward. However, it wouldn't be shocking if he struggled to maintain his current career-best pace.

Seager picked up a pair of RBI on three hits in a 5-3 loss to San Diego on Sunday.

On a day where he was named to the National League All-Star team (as a reserve), Seager stroked a trio of hits for the second game in a row. He's now back over the .300 mark (.305), tied for second on the team with 42 RBI and leads the Dodgers in doubles with 21.

Arcia went 2-for-4 with a solo homer in Sunday's 10-3 loss to the Marlins.

Arcia has doubled last season's home run total with eight and is actually slashing a solid .288/.329/.435 after a 5-for-8 performance with a pair of long balls over the weekend. Despite going 22-for-50 with nine extra-base hits since June 17, Arcia continues to hit eighth in Milwaukee's order.

Correa went 4-for-5 with two doubles and three RBI in Sunday's 8-1 win over the Yankees.

Correa extended his hitting streak to 12 games while delivering two of his team's nine extra-base hits in this one. With 11 runs scored and 15 more driven in during those 12 contests, Correa has certainly made the most of the opportunities presented by batting in the heart of baseball's second most potent lineup. It's scary to think that the 22-year-old shortstop likely still hasn't hit his ceiling with this season's .319/.394/.554 line.

DeJong is out of Sunday's lineup against the Nationals.

After starting 16 straight games, DeJong takes a seat in favor of Greg Garcia, who will bat seventh and man second base. Over his string of consecutive starts, DeJong has hit .290 with five home runs and an atrocious 20:2 K:BB in 62 at-bats.

Seager went 3-for-5 with s solo home run in Saturday's win over the Padres.

The start shortstop received an extra day of rest after returning from a minor hamstring injury Thursday, and it resulted in Seager's 25th multi-hit game of the season. The 23-year-old remains one of fantasy's top options at short with a healthy .299/.401/.511 slash line through 75 games.

Adrianza (abdomen) could come off the 10-day disabled list as soon as Monday, Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

The Twins will wait and see what they have on hand in terms of available pitchers for Monday's series opener against the Angels before determining if they can get away with carrying one less reliever to accommodate Adrianza's return. The utility infielder played in both ends of a doubleheader at Triple-A Rochester on Saturday and has gone 1-for-10 at the dish during his rehab assignment.

Bogaerts was scratched from the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays due to right groin tightness, Brian MacPherson of the Providence Journal reports.

Bogaerts was having difficultly getting stretched out prior to the game, and after consulting with team trainers and manager John Farrell, it was decided that the 24-year-old would require a day off. Tzu-Wei Lin will move over to shortstop in place of Bogaerts, while Deven Marrero enters the lineup at third base. The Red Sox should provide another update on Bogaerts' condition before the team continues its road trip in Texas on Monday.

Tejada will start at shortstop and bat eighth Sunday against the Rays.

It appeared Tejada had ceded the starting shortstop job to Paul Janish after being limited to a bench role for four straight games, but manager Buck Showalter has since decided to turn the position back over to the veteran. Tejada will pick up his fourth straight start Sunday after recording his third two-hit performance of the season a day earlier while Janish hits the bench once again.
