  • Zach Vincej SS | SEA

    Mariners' Zach Vincej: Claimed by Seattle

    Vincej was claimed off waivers by the Mariners on Friday.

    Vincej was called up to the big leagues by the Reds on Sept. 1 for the first time in his career, and proceeded to go 1-for-9 with one walk during nine appearances with the team. Moving forward, he will provide organizational depth in the infield for Seattle.

    Orioles' Luis Sardinas: Signs minor-league contract

    Sardinas was re-signed by the Orioles on a minor-league contract, Rich Dubroff of PressBoxOnline.com reports.

    Sardinas played in 24 major-league games with the Padres last season, hitting just .163/.226/.163 in 53 at-bats before being designated for assignment by the club. After he latched on with Baltimore, the 24-year-old spent the rest of the year with Triple-A Norfolk, batting .319 with an OPS of .767. He will continue to serve as organizational depth within the infield moving forward.

  • Carlos Correa SS | HOU

    Astros' Carlos Correa: Not in Sunday lineup

    Correa is out of the lineup Sunday against the Red Sox.

    The Astros are using Sunday as a chance to rest a handful of their regular starters, so Correa will get the day off. Marwin Gonzalez will start at shortstop in his place. Correa will carry a .315/.391/.550 line into Thursday's playoff game against Boston.

  • Red Sox's Xander Bogaerts: Not in Sunday lineup

    Bogaerts is out of the lineup Sunday against the Astros.

    Bogaerts has been putting on a show at the plate lately. Over the last seven games, he's hit .379/.419/.552 with five RBI. He's heating up at the right time for Boston, as the Red Sox are beginning a playoff series against Houston on Thursday. Deven Marrero will start at shortstop with Bogaerts out.

  • Tim Anderson 2B | LAA

    White Sox's Tim Anderson: Out of lineup Saturday

    Anderson is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Indians.

    Anderson will receive a standard day off following 21 straight starts, while slashing .322/.337/.444 during that span. In his place, Tyler Saladino will pick up a start at shortstop.

  • Carlos Correa SS | HOU

    Astros' Carlos Correa: Stays hot with four-hit game

    Correa went 4-for-4 with a double, a home run, a walk, three runs scored and three RBI in Thursday's 12-2 win over Boston.

    Correa has produced consecutive four-hit efforts while combining for three home runs and two doubles in those two games. It looks like the thumb injury Correa suffered earlier this season is fully behind him, which is great news both for the talented infielder with the playoffs approaching and for fantasy owners benefiting from his heroics down the stretch.

  • Carlos Correa SS | HOU

    Astros' Carlos Correa: Homers twice in win

    Correa went 4-for-5 with a double, two home runs and four RBI during Wednesday's win over Texas.

    While missing approximately a month and a half of the season due to a thumb injury definitely robbed Correa from a career-best showing, he's still posted an impressive fantasy campaign. He's now up to 23 homers, 81 RBI, 78 runs with a .308/.382/.539 slash line for the year and still has a few more games on the schedule to pad those statistics.

  • Richard Urena SS | WAS

    Blue Jays' Richard Urena: Out of lineup Monday

    Urena is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Red Sox.

    Urena is just 1-for-21 (.048) with 10 strikeouts in his previous eight contests, so he'll start on the bench for a fourth straight game. Ryan Goins, who appears to have reclaimed his role as the Blue Jays' everyday shortstop, will draw another start in his place.

  • Tim Anderson 2B | LAA

    White Sox's Tim Anderson: Swipes 15th bag in Sunday's win

    Anderson went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 8-1 win over the Royals.

    Anderson extended his hitting streak to a career-high 15 games, continuing a surge that kicked off Aug. 1. During that run, he's brought his speed back into play -- Sunday's stolen base was his ninth over the last 17 games. Speed was an element of his game when he was in the minors, but Anderson got away from it for a while once he hit the majors.

  • Richard Urena SS | WAS

    Blue Jays' Richard Urena: Not starting Sunday

    Urena is out of the lineup Sunday against the Yankees.

    After seeing regular playing time at shortstop early in September, Urena has spent far less time in the lineup lately as he's started just one of Toronto's last five games. Darwin Barney is starting at second base while Ryan Goins moves to shortstop Sunday.
