Correa went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and two RBI during Saturday's win over the Yankees.

Correa has been a rock-solid fantasy asset since entering the league, and this season he's taking his game to another level. The shortstop sports a .311/.388/.543 slash line with 17 home runs, 55 RBI and 56 runs. It would be nice to see him more active on the bases, as he hasn't attempted a steal all season. However, he owns a 1.079 OPS through his past 19 games and has recorded a hit in 17 of those contests, including 11 straight, so it's tough to nitpick.

Lindor went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in Saturday's loss to the Tigers.

The talented shortstop has been mired in a slump, as he slashed just .214/.261/.339 in June and started his July with an 0-for-4. There's still plenty of reason to believe Lindor will get things turned around, however, as he's striking out just 12.2 percent of the time and his .252 BABIP should inch its way closer to league average as the season progresses. Furthermore, he's shown to be a strong finisher with a career .321/.370/.477 slash line in the second half.

Bogaerts went 1-for-4 with three RBI and three strikeouts in Saturday's win over Toronto.

After sitting out Friday amid a nasty slump, Bogaerts somewhat got himself back on track with his third game of at least three RBI this season. He drove in two runs on an RBI single to extend a lead in the ninth inning and also hit a sac fly in the fifth. Bogaerts was hitting .200/.259/.240 over the last week heading into Saturday, but he maintains a strong .314/.366/.455 slash line for the season. Provided he sticks in the lineup Sunday, he'll face Toronto right-hander Joe Biagini.

Bogaerts is not in the lineup Friday against the Blue Jays, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

Bogaerts is just 2-for-23 in his career against Marco Estrada, so manager John Farrell will respect the matchup history and give his shortstop a rare breather. Tzu-Wei Lin will start in his place at shortstop.

Anderson is not in the lineup Friday against the Rangers.

Anderson will take a seat for the second straight game as he tries to clear his head. The 24-year-old has struggled both at the plate and in the field recently, committing three errors (he leads all shortstops with 18) over his past eight contests while slashing just .133/.129/.267 over that same span. Alen Hanson and Yolmer Sanchez will again fill the middle of the White Sox's infield in his absence.

Correra went 2-for-4 with a pair of two-run home runs during Thursday's win over Oakland.

The two blasts bring Correa up to 16 homers, 53 RBI and 54 runs with a .309/.388/.537 slash line. The shortstop is posting high-end fantasy results and living up to the billing that made him an early-round selection leading into the season.

Anderson is not in Thursday's lineup against the Yankees.

Anderson will get the day off after starting the past 14 games. During that span, the shortstop is batting just .204/.241/.315 with one home run, seven RBI and three runs. In his place, Yolmer Sanchez slides over to short while Alen Hanson takes the keystone.

Tejada is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Blue Jays.

With Tejada riding the pine for the fourth consecutive contest, it appears safe to conclude that Paul Janish has unseated him as the Orioles' primary shortstop while J.J. Hardy (wrist) is sidelined. With six hits in 33 at-bats (.182 average) on the season, Tejada won't offer much fantasy upside even if he settles back into an everyday role down the line.

Adrianza (abdomen) is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Rochester on Thursday, Phil Miller of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Twins manager Paul Molitor said the team would like Adrianza to play a total of three rehab games before being activated from the DL on Monday, so it's shaping up to be a busy weekend for the young infielder. The switch hitter has been out since June 22 with the injury, but recent evaluations revealed nothing of concern. Adrianza is slashing .259/.323/.333 this season while working out of a limited reserve role and missed an early portion of the season due to a right oblique strain.

Anderson said after Monday's loss to the Yankees that he plans to wear corrective lenses for the remainder of the season, Dan Hayes of CSN Chicago reports.

Anderson inquired about additional eye testing beyond what a team normally offers a couple of weeks ago and has been getting used to the lenses since purchasing them. The 24-year-old shortstop has struggled all season but offered a glimmer of hope during Monday's loss when he had two hits and a three-run home run.
