Bortnick recently advanced to Triple-A Toledo and has a slash line of .270/.357/.432 in 37 at-bats.

Bortnick is a 28-year-old utility infielder who has yet to the the light of the majors shine on his face. But he has finally managed to claw his way back to Triple-A and is hitting a combined .279/.347/.481 in 104 at-bats between Double-A and Triple-A this season. Bortnick has reached Triple-A several times in his career, but we're not certain he'll get a shot to advance to the majors with the Tigers.

Anderson went 2-for-5 with a double and a run scored in Sunday's loss to the Indians.

He's hit the ground running since getting called up to the majors, putting together four multi-hit games en route to a .282 (11-for-39) batting average. He's got tremendous upside, but Anderson's 0:11 BB:K is a strong warning sign that he could be in for a rough stretch once the league adjusts to him, however.

Bogaerts went 2-for-4 with a solo homer in Saturday's 6-2 victory over the Mariners.

It was the eighth multi-hit effort in another typically outstanding month for Bogaerts, whose June line is now up to .359/.397/.531. The production Saturday has him within striking distance of both his homer and RBI total for all of May with plenty of time remaining in the month, and brought his season average up to a stellar .352.

Lindor went 3-for-4 with a steal, two runs and an RBI Saturday against the White Sox.

Lindor was one of three Indians' hitters to post three hits, and he also stole his 11th base, in a blowout victory over the White Sox. He's posted three hits in four different games over the last two weeks to move his batting average to .311.

Correa went 1-for-5 with a solo homer and a walk Friday against the Reds.

Correa's ninth homer of the year tied the game in the eighth inning of a game the Astros would lose in 11 innings. The bomb was his first extra-base hit in six games and the first round-tripper he's hit since May 29.

Anderson went 3-for-5 with his first career triple and three runs against the Tigers on Wednesday.

Through his first six games in the majors, Anderson's shown that his bat -- lacking though it may be in home-run pop -- does indeed have some lightning in it, as he's smashed four extra-base hits already. The triple ought to be but the first of many for Anderson; however, fantasy owners are more interested in seeing the speedy shortstop swipe some bases, and he hasn't yet attempted a steal.

Correa (ankle) is back in the lineup Tuesday against the Cardinals, Angel Verdejo Jr. of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Correa missed the previous three games with a sprained left ankle, but it looks like he benefitted from the team's off day Monday and is ready to get back into the lineup. He'll return to his usual spot in the field at shortstop and bat cleanup Tuesday against St. Louis lefty Jaime Garcia.

Anderson will lead off the lineup for Monday's game against the Tigers.

Anderson made his major league debut on Friday while Adam Eaton will move to the second spot. At the Triple-A Level, Anderson was slashing .304/.325/.409 over 247 total at-bats. The right-handed shortstop has good speed and was hitting especially well against southpaw pitching, notching a .346 batting average over 81 at-bats at the Triple-A Level. The White Sox will hope he continues that streak against lefty starter Matt Boyd on Monday.

Bogaerts went 2-for-5 with an RBI and his ninth steal of the season in Sunday's loss to the Twins.

He's been on fire in June, hitting a cool .400 (18-for-45) with two home runs, 14 RBI, nine runs scored and two steals. Bogaerts' breakout 2015 season appears to have been just the tip of the iceberg, as he's added over 150 points to his OPS so far this year.

Lindor went 3-for-5 with a homer, two runs and three RBI Sunday at the Angels.

Lindor's seventh homer of the season was a solo shot in the first inning that gave the Indians a lead they'd never relinquish, and then his two-run single gave them a comfortable five-run lead in the second frame. He now has four multi-hit games over his last 10 starts, and his slash line is at .304/.360/.450.
