Anthony Volpe SS | NYY
Yankees' Anthony Volpe: Hits long home run
Volpe went 2-for-4 with a solo homer, a steal, two RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's win over the Rays.
Volpe launched a 452-foot homer to right-center field in the eighth to put the Yankees up 7-4. It was his fifth home run since coming back from the All-Star break, and he's now up to 15 for the year. Outside of his home run balls, Volpe has just one other extra-base hit in July and is hitting .174 with a .191 on-base percentage this month.

Gunnar Henderson 3B | BAL
Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Big day in twin bill
Henderson went 4-for-8 with a walk, a double, a home run, four runs scored and four RBI across both games of Tuesday's doubleheader sweep of the Blue Jays.
Most of the shortstop's production came in a 16-4 rout during the matinee, including Henderson's 12th homer of the season -- a three-run shot off Chad Green in the seventh inning. The blast snapped a 15-game power drought for Henderson, but he's hardly been invisible during that stretch. Through 24 contests in July, the 24-year-old is slashing .306/.368/.518 with 13 of his 16 hits going for extra bases (10 doubles, a triple and two home runs) along with five steals, 13 RBI and 16 runs.

Trevor Story SS | BOS
Red Sox's Trevor Story: Goes deep, drives in three
Story went 2-for-5 with a home run, a double, three RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's win over Minnesota.
Story knocked a two-run homer in the third inning before tacking on an RBI double in the ninth. He snapped a 15-game homerless drought, during which he posted an unsightly .523 OPS. The veteran shortstop is up to 16 home runs this season, tying his best output since he joined the Red Sox prior to the 2022 campaign. Story is slashing .247/.287/.405 with 64 RBI and has hit .283 (53-for-187) since the start of June.

Carlos Correa SS | HOU
Twins' Carlos Correa: Exits early Tuesday
Correa was removed from Tuesday's game against the Red Sox due to lightheadedness, Audra Martin of FanDuel Sports Network North reports.
Correa initially remained in the game after getting looked at by a trainer following his first-inning single, but he didn't feel any better after a few minutes and was removed from the game in the third. Fantasy managers can consider the 30-year-old shortstop day-to-day for the time being.

Corey Seager SS | TEX
Rangers' Corey Seager: Resting Tuesday
Seager is not in the Rangers' lineup Tuesday against the Angels.
Seager is getting his first day off since June 23. In the 28 games he has played in since then, he has slashed an astounding .330/.462/.650 with eight home runs and a 24:23 K:BB across 130 plate appearances. The shortstop had a .711 OPS prior to June 23 but has increased it by 152 points starting then. With the 31-year-old resting on the bench Tuesday, Ezequiel Duran enters the lineup at first base as Josh Smith moves over to shortstop.

Max Schuemann 2B | ATH
Athletics' Max Schuemann: Taking seat Tuesday
Schuemann isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mariners.
Schuemann is expected to receive regular action at shortstop with Jacob Wilson (forearm) now on the injured list, but the A's will give the former a day off Tuesday following his 0-for-4 performance Monday. Darell Hernaiz will fill in at short and bat ninth.

Jacob Wilson SS | ATH
Athletics' Jacob Wilson: Placed on injured list
The Athletics placed Wilson on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a fractured left forearm, retroactive to Saturday.
Wilson sat out the Athletics' last three games due to what was initially described as a bruised hand that he had been playing through since getting hit by a pitch before the All-Star break. Now that his injury has been revealed to be a forearm fracture, he'll land on the IL and receive time to recover properly. Darell Hernaiz was recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas in a corresponding move to replenish the big club's infield depth, though Max Schuemann projects as the likely choice to take over as the Athletics' primary shortstop.

Javier Baez SS | DET
Tigers' Javier Baez: Out of Tuesday's lineup
Baez is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Diamondbacks.
Baez started the previous seven games and will receive a day off after going 4-for-22 with nine strikeouts during that stretch. Zach McKinstry will step in at shortstop and bat seventh for Detroit.

Bo Bichette SS | NYM
Blue Jays' Bo Bichette: New MLB hits leader
Bichette went 4-for-5 in Monday's loss to the Orioles.
All four knocks were singles, and none of them led to any runs, but Bichette remains laser-focused at the dish. The shortstop has a 10-game hitting streak going in which he's slashing .422/.435/.644 with seven doubles, a homer, six runs and 12 RBI, and per Mitch Bannon of The Athletic, he set a new Blue Jays franchise over the last two contests with hits in nine consecutive at-bats. Bichette's 130 hits on the season leads the majors, as he moved one ahead of Aaron Judge (wrist) with Monday's performance.

Colson Montgomery SS | CHW
White Sox's Colson Montgomery: Power surge continues Monday
Montgomery went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional RBI in Monday's 6-2 win over the Phillies.
Although the rookie infielder's six-game hitting streak came to an end in Sunday's loss to the Cubs, Montgomery smashed his fourth homer in his past six outings Monday. Montgomery is off to quite an encouraging start to his major-league career, slashing .273/.333/.515 with the aforementioned four long balls, two doubles, one triple and 16 RBI through his first 73 plate appearances.
