Seager went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Yankees.

After going 0-for-4 with three strikeouts during a shutout loss in the matinee, Seager's bat woke up in the nightcap, and his sixth-inning shot off Luke Weaver gave the Rangers a 6-1 lead in an eventual 9-4 win. Seager is surging, launching six homers over the last eight games with 10 RBI, and on the season the All-Star shortstop is slashing .273/.353/.497 with 25 long balls and 60 RBI.

Perdomo went 3-for-4 with a double and two runs scored in Saturday's 11-1 win over the Phillies.

Perdomo has gone 18-for-40 (.450) over his last 12 contests, a span that includes a trio of three-hit efforts. He was hitting just .246 on July 28, but he's up to .291 now with a .732 OPS, one home run, 13 doubles, one triple, three stolen bases, 21 RBI and 34 runs scored across 205 plate appearances this year. His hot bat has helped him maintain a starting role at shortstop.

Correa (heel) is sprinting on the field and is feeling better, but won't go on a rehab assignment until he sees how his foot responds to increased activity, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Correa was placed on the 10-day injured list July 20 due to right plantar fasciitis. It initially didn't appear he would be out long, but he still experienced pain in his heel in early August when jogging. Correa will likely go on a short rehab assignment when he's ready to play again.

Caballero went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a stolen base and an additional run scored in Saturday's 7-5 loss to the Orioles.

Caballero has a steal in four of his last five games, but his homer Saturday was his first since July 21. The infielder continues to feature most frequently at third base and shortstop. He's up to 32 steals this year while adding eight homers, 31 RBI, 44 runs scored and a .238/.295/.369 slash line over 98 contests.

Fitzgerald 1-for-3 with a walk and two stolen bases in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Tigers.

Fitzgerald stole second and third in the seventh inning and has two multi-steal games in his past three contests after swiping just one base in July. The 26-year-old has remained scorching in August, going 13-for-37 with three home runs, five thefts and five multi-hit efforts across nine games. For the year, he is hitting .313 with 12 homers and 12 steals in just 176 plate appearances.

Henderson went 3-for-5 with a run scored in Saturday's 7-5 win over the Rays.

Henderson entered Saturday in an 0-for-15 skid, but he broke out in a big way. The shortstop is 16-for-52 (.308) since moving down to the No. 3 spot in the order July 28, though he has just one home run in that span. For the year, he's at a .286/.373/.549 slash line, 29 homers, 69 RBI, 94 runs scored, 14 stolen bases, 22 doubles and six triples over 116 contests.

Walls isn't in the Rays' lineup for Saturday's game against Baltimore, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Walls owns a .157/.283/.198 slash line through 145 plate appearances on the season, and he'll step out of the lineup against the formidable Corbin Burnes. Jose Caballero will shift to shortstop in Walls' place while Curtis Mead starts at the hot corner.

Rojas isn't in the Dodgers' lineup for Saturday's game against the Pirates.

Rojas has gone 2-for-8 with two RBI since returning from the injured list Wednesday, and he'll get a chance to rest Saturday while Nick Ahmed starts at shortstop and bats ninth.

Rocchio isn't in the Guardians' lineup Saturday versus Minnesota.

Rocchio went 1-for-8 with a two-run home run across both games of Friday's doubleheader, and he'll now take a seat while Daniel Schneemann starts at shortstop and bats eighth.

Nunez (lower body) is starting at shortstop and batting ninth in Saturday's contest against the Angels, Spencer Nusbaum of The Washington Post reports.

Nunez left Friday's game due to cramps, finishing the contest 0-for-3 with two strikeouts. He won't miss any time, however, and he'll face off against Halos right-hander Griffin Canning in Saturday's tilt.
