Baldwin went 1-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base in Monday's extra-inning loss against the Rangers.

Baldwin has started all four games at second base since being promoted for his big-league debut Friday. He's gone 2-for-14 with six strikeouts, though he showed some of his fantasy potential with both his first RBI and stolen base as a big-leaguer in Monday's contest. Baldwin's primary fantasy value looks likely to come from his speed, as he had 17 stolen bases across 82 games with Double-A Birmingham and Triple-A Charlotte before reaching the majors.

Fitzgerald went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Dodgers.

Fitzgerald now has a homer in each of his last four games, and he's started three in a row. He was in the lineup over Thairo Estrada -- who is hitting .103 over eight games in July -- versus a right-hander for the second game in a row, though it's unclear if this is a real shift in the infield hierarchy or just manager Bob Melvin riding the hot hand. Fitzgerald is up to a .299/.365/.552 slash line with five homers, 11 RBI, 17 runs scored and seven stolen bases through 96 plate appearances.

Crawford suffered a hairline fracture of his pinky finger during Monday's game against the Angels, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Crawford will require a trip to the 10-day injured list, though the timeline for a potential return remains uncertain. Dylan Moore should see opportunities at shortstop until Crawford returns to health, and the Mariners could also recall Ryan Bliss, who was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma earlier in the day.

Witt went 3-for-4 with a three-run homer, a triple, a double and three runs scored in Monday's win over Arizona.

Witt has been on a rampage since returning from the All-Star break. He knocked three extra-base hits Monday, including his three-run shot off Miguel Castro in the fourth inning. Witt has collected three hits in four straight games, and his OPS on the season has jumped from .928 to .979 as a result. He has racked up 55 extra-base hits with 22 steals and 82 runs scored in 101 games.

Cruz went 1-for-3 with a walk, an RBI and two stolen bases in Monday's win against the Cardinals.

Cruz logged his first multi-steal game of the season, nabbing second base in both the first and third innings off Cardinals starter Andre Pallante. The shortstop hasn't been very active on the basepaths this season but he is now 9-for-10 in stolen base attempts. The 25-year-old has had a highly productive July, batting .321 with three home runs, 14 RBI, eight runs scored, and three steals across 14 games played.

De La Cruz went 2-for-4 with two runs scored and a stolen base in a 4-1 win over Atlanta on Monday.

De La Cruz tripled and scored a run in the first inning and then singled and scored again in the third. He also stole his 49th base of the season in the fifth frame. The 22-year-old extended his hit streak to 10 games, and his major-league leading stolen base total is 19 ahead of Brice Turang's 30. On the season, De La Cruz is hitting .258 with 17 home runs, 44 RBI and 67 runs scored across 431 plate appearances.

Crawford left Monday's game against the Angels after being struck by a pitch on the arm, Shannon Drayer of SeattleSports.com reports.

Crawford was initially able to remain in the game to run the bases, but he was lifted after coming around to score. The severity of the injury is unknown at this time. Dylan Moore replaced Crawford at shortstop.

Lindor went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs, a walk and a stolen base in Monday's win against Miami.

Lindor took Marlins starter Yonny Chirinos deep in the fourth inning before launching another home run in the ninth off JT Chargois to propel the Mets to victory. The 30-year-old registered his second multi-home run game of the season while adding his 20th stolen base for good measure. The star shortstop has had an excellent July thus far, slashing .294/.429/.588 with six home runs, 14 RBI, 13 runs scored and five steals in 18 games.

Betts (hand) has been cleared to swing a bat, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Betts continues to take steps in the right direction after landing on the injured list June 17 due to a fractured left hand. If all goes well, he'll progress to hitting off a tee in the near future. Manager Dave Roberts noted that Betts is still "some time away" from a return, but he's pleased with the progress the 31-year-old superstar has made, per Juan Toribio of MLB.com.

Correa (heel) was wearing a walking boot in the clubhouse before Monday's game against the Phillies, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

Correa was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday due to right plantar fasciitis, and he noted that he'll be in the walking boot for at least a few more days. The shortstop also said he wasn't sure he'll begin baseball activities immediately after shedding the boot, but he's hoping he won't miss more than another week or two. An updated timeline for Correa's return could be provided by the Twins later in the week.
