  • Carlos Correa SS | HOU

    Astros' Carlos Correa: Day off Tuesday

    Correa is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against Colorado, Jake Kaplan of The Athletic reports.

    Correa sits for just the second time this season in what appears to be simply a routine day off. Jack Mayfield will take over at shortstop.

    Astros' Carlos Correa: Plates both runs in win

    Correa went 2-for-4 with a two-RBI double in Monday's 2-1 win over the Rockies.

    Correa scored Alex Bregman and Yuli Gurriel with his first-inning double, and that was enough for the Astros to win the game. The 25-year-old Correa is batting .304 with two homers, 11 RBI and seven runs scored through 22 games this season.

  • Tim Anderson 2B | LAA

    White Sox's Tim Anderson: Delivers pair of homers

    Anderson went 2-for-5 with two solo home runs Monday against the Tigers.

    Anderson took Matthew Boyd deep twice in the first two innings of the game. He now has four home runs on the season, with three coming in the last week. Despite a minimum stint on the injured list early in the season, Anderson has scored 16 runs and hit .340/.375/.679 across 56 plate appearances.

    Blue Jays' Bo Bichette: Results in from second opinion

    Bichette was diagnosed with a Grade 1 sprain of lateral collateral ligament in his right knee, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    A second opinion confirmed that Bichette is dealing with a knee sprain. Fortunately, the injury is being considered a minor injury with no long-term impact, according to Davidi. The shortstop remains without a firm timetable for a return, though the team is currently laying out a rehab plan.

    Blue Jays' Bo Bichette: Receiving second opinion

    Bichette is slated to receive a second opinion on his sprained right knee Monday, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.

    The Blue Jays have yet to provide a projected timeline for Bichette's return after he was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday, but a source familiar with the young shortstop's knee injury believes he could be sidelined until mid-September, per Rob Longley of the Toronto Sun. More clarity on the matter should be available once the results of Bichette's second opinion are revealed, but his fantasy managers should at least be prepared for the 22-year-old to miss multiple weeks with the injury. Joe Panik, Brandon Drury and Santiago Espinal are the top options to replace Bichette at shortstop, but none of those players are particularly enticing from a fantasy perspective, especially if the Blue Jays opt for a timeshare at the position.

  • Tim Anderson 2B | LAA

    White Sox's Tim Anderson: Steals first bag

    Anderson went 1-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and two runs scored in Sunday's 7-2 win over the Cardinals.

    Anderson stole his first bag of the season in the first inning then came around to score on an Eloy Jimenez base hit. The shortstop, who has been a frequent runner over his first four seasons, showed the groin injury that cost him a stint on the injured list is no longer bothering him.

  • Willy Adames SS | SF

    Rays' Willy Adames: Crushes go-ahead homer

    Adames went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Sunday's win over Toronto.

    Adames turned on the first pitch he saw in the eighth inning to put the Rays up 7-5 with his second homer of the year. The 24-year-old shortstop has knocked six extra-base hits over the last five games, pushing his OPS up to .899.

    Blue Jays' Bo Bichette: Could miss significant time

    Bichette (knee) could be sidelined until mid-September, Rob Longley of the Toronto Sun reports.

    Bichette was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a sprained right knee, but the injury could be worse than initially anticipated. As a result, he could be sidelined until the middle of September as he recovers. The update is a significant blow for the Blue Jays and for his fantasy value. Joe Panik, Brandon Drury and Santiago Espinal could see increased time at shortstop while Bichette is sidelined.

  • Indians' Francisco Lindor: Logs homer, pair of doubles

    Lindor went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run, two doubles, three RBI and one run scored in Sunday's 8-5 win over the Tigers.

    Lindor entered Sunday's tilt with just seven hits in his last 41 at-bats, but the shortstop broke out in a big way in the series finale. After taking Michael Fulmer deep in the third inning, Lindor was able to add to his day with a run-scoring double in the seventh. Lindor is still slashing a pedestrian .233/.281/.422, but he will look to build off his big day when the Indians open a series with the Pirates on Tuesday.

    Blue Jays' Bo Bichette: Placed on IL

    The Blue Jays placed Bichette on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a sprained right knee, Hazel Mae of Sportsnet reports.

    Bichette's move to the IL comes just hours after he was sent in for an MRI on the injured knee, which prevented him from playing in the resumption of Saturday's suspended game against the Rays. He'll now be sidelined for the regularly-scheduled game Sunday and at least a week and a half beyond that, even though the Blue Jays have yet to reveal the results of his MRI. Bichette's move to the IL could open up steady action at shortstop for veteran Joe Panik, with Brandon Drury and the newly recalled Santiago Espinal also representing potential options at the position.
