Correa went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Tigers.

Correa got the Twins on the board with his sixth-inning solo shot, which was his second long ball in the last three games. The shortstop has hit safely in six of his last seven contests, going 8-for-27 (.296) in that span. He's had a fairly solid June, but he's still hitting just .220 with a .718 OPS, 11 homers, 37 RBI, 23 runs scored, no stolen bases, 15 doubles and two triples through 68 games this season. Five of his homers have come this month.

Swanson went 2-for-3 with two walks, a two-run home run and two total runs scored in Saturday's win over the Cardinals.

Swanson delivered a strong effort in the first of two games for the Cubs in London. The shortstop batted fifth, which has been his typical lineup spot the past few weeks. Swanson has done well in this stretch, batting .292 over his past 12 games with two home runs and seven RBI. He's batting .268 for the season with a .770 OPS.

Crawford (shoulder) is leading off and starting at shortstop Saturday against the Orioles, Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM reports.

Crawford was held out of the lineup for three consecutive games with a shoulder injury. His return pushes Jose Caballero to the bench while Kolten Wong will hit ninth and start at second base.

Schmitt isn't in the Giants' lineup Saturday against the Diamondbacks, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Schmitt is 1-for-12 across his last six games, though he still managed to reach base seven times in that span. He'll get a day off Saturday as Brandon Crawford starts at shortstop for the sixth time in seven games.

Franco is hitting second and starting at shortstop in Saturday's game against the Royals, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Franco was held out of the lineup Thursday and Friday in a disciplinary move by the Rays. He'll retake his typical role in the lineup, while Isaac Paredes will be forced to the bench.

Mateo is not starting in Saturday's lineup against the Mariners.

The return of Cedric Mullins (groin) has crowded the Baltimore lineup, and Mateo will be the odd man out Saturday. He's gone through a tough stretch at the plate of late, collecting only one hit across his last 16 at-bats. Gunnar Henderson will start at shortstop and Ramon Urias will man the hot corner.

Anderson is starting at second base and hitting second Saturday against the Red Sox.

Anderson was absent from the lineup for five days while battling a shoulder injury. He returned Friday and played second base, and he'll do so again Saturday. Elvis Andrus will bat ninth and play Anderson's typical role at shortstop.

The Angels selected Fletcher's contract from Triple-A Salt Lake on Saturday, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Fletcher has been white-hot in Triple-A as of late, slashing an absurd .530/.551/.697 over the course of his 15-game hitting streak. Fletcher failed to produce during his brief MLB stint at the beginning of April, but his momentum from Triple-A could carry over into the bigs as he offers additional depth to the Angels' infield.

Swanson (wrist) is starting at shortstop and hitting fifth Saturday against the Cardinals, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

Swanson was held out of Wednesday's game against the Pirates, but after three days off he is able to return to the lineup. He has at least one hit in eight of his last 10 starts and will take his customary spot in the heart of the Cubs' lineup.

Bogaerts went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run in Friday's 13-3 victory over Washington.

This was just Bogaerts' second homer since the month of April, when he hit six. This hasn't been the best year to roster him in fantasy, as his current slash line of .259/.343/.395 is the worst he's had in years. However, the former Red Sox star still has plenty of time to heat up as the season reaches its midpoint.
