Angels third baseman Conor Gillaspie isn't in the starting lineup for Saturday's game. Gillaspie has started five of the last six games at the hot corner. 

Taylor Featherston replaces Gillaspie in the lineup, starting at third for the eighth time this year. 

Astros rookie shortstop Carlos Correa continued to terrorize big-league pitching in Tuesday's 10-5 win over the Angels. Correa went 3 for 4, including his ninth home run. 

Correa's homer was a two-out solo shot in the bottom of the first to trim the Angels' lead to 2-1 at the time. He would also single twice later on in the game, giving him an impressive .299 batting average over his first 42 games.

The youngster is particularly hot right now, batting an absurd .565 with two home runs and nine RBI over his last 10 games.

Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts went 3 for 5 in Friday's win over Detroit. 

Bogaerts has four multi-hit games in the last six. He's 10 for his last 24 for a .417 average. 

Bogaerts had one of Boston's two RBI in the game, hitting a walk-off single in the 11th inning. 

Shortstop Francisco Lindor got the Indians off on the right foot Wednesday in Milwaukee.

His team promptly stumbled before recovering to win after the promising rookie blasted his third home run, a solo shot in the first inning. Lindor also singled and scored in the third in improving his slash line to .246/.284/.349.

Lindor is batting .302 (16-for-53) over his last 11 games.

Indians rookie shortstop Francisco Lindor posted the first three-hit game of his career in Saturday's 9-4 win over the Reds. Lindor singled twice, doubled and scored two runs, boosting his season average up to .241.

Lindor has gotten off to a rather quiet start to his young career, but he has been turning things around lately. Over his last 10 games, Lindor is batting .293 with a home run and three RBI. 

Astros shortstop Carlos Correa went 2 for 4 with a home run and two RBI in Saturday's loss to the Rangers.

Correa hit a two-run blast, his eighth of the season, in the ninth inning to bring the game within a run, but his team wouldn't get any closer than that.

Correa is hitting .357 with five hits, a double, a home run and three RBI over his last four games.

Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts went 1 for 4 in Friday's loss to the Yankees. 

Bogaerts struck out twice and grounded into a double play, but his single extended his hitting streak to nine games. He's hitting .412 over the streak. 

Indians shortstop Francisco Lindor went 2 for 4 with a home run in Wednesday's win over the Astros.

Lindor hit a solo home run, his second of the year, in the sixth inning that tied the game 1-1.

Lindor is hitting .235 with eight hits, a double, a home run and three RBI over his last eight games.

Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts went 2 for 4 with a double on Tuesday, and had the biggest of the night in the 4-3 win over the Marlins. Bogaerts came to the plate in the seventh inning with his team down 3-1 and the bases loaded.

He proceeded to rope a single to center field, scoring all three runs and leading Boston to victory. 

Bogaerts is batting .375 with 10 doubles and 13 RBI over his last 15 games, as he tries to become the final man added to the American League All-Star roster.
