Lindor went 3-for-3 with a home run, a double, three RBI and two walks in Sunday's 6-1 win over Philadelphia.

Lindor matched a season high in RBI in what was arguably his best game of the year at the plate, totaling a season-high seven bases. It's been a difficult campaign for the star shortstop amid injury, poor play and trade rumors, so perhaps Sunday's showing will get him going. Through 184 plate appearances, Lindor is slashing .220/.304/.390 with six homers, 18 RBI, two stolen bases and 23 runs scored.

Abrams went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, a double and a walk in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Athletics.

Abrams is up to a career-high 21 homers on the season, including four over his last 13 games. He has gone 15-for-52 (.288) with 11 RBI and two stolen bases in that span. Overall, the shortstop is batting .277 with an .869 OPS, 70 RBI, 58 runs scored, 19 doubles, two triples and 15 steals over 96 contests.

Adames went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Mariners.

Adames launched a home run to right field in the sixth inning, recording his second homer in his last two games. The veteran shortstop has recorded at least one hit in three straight games and is now batting .222 with 10 RBI, seven runs scored, three long balls and a stolen base across 51 plate appearances in July. He's slashing .230/.280/.432 with 47 runs scored, 42 RBI, 17 home runs and two stolen bases in 393 plate appearances this season.

Lopez (finger) is out of the lineup for Sunday's matchup against Milwaukee.

After taking a groundball off his right ring finger in the second inning of Saturday's game, Lopez will be on the bench for the series finale against Milwaukee. Javier Sanoja will play shortstop and bat cleanup in Lopez's absence Sunday.

Swanson went 1-for-4 with a triple, a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Twins.

Swanson tallied his third triple of the season as he helped lead the Cubs to the victory Saturday afternoon. The veteran shortstop is batting just .209, which is down from his career .248 mark, though he's still managed to provide fantasy value with 16 home runs and 13 stolen bases. Swanson has also played in all but four of Chicago's games so far, and he should continue to see consistent playing time during the second half as he seeks his second straight 20-20 campaign.

Marlins manager Clayton McCullough said after Saturday's 8-6 loss to the Brewers that Lopez will get his right ring finger tested after a ground ball "got the nail pretty good," Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Lopez took a ground ball to his right ring finger in the second inning of Saturday's game. He was able to stay in the contest, but he'll undergo more tests to determine the severity of the injury. Leo Jimenez and Javier Sanoja could see some reps at shortstop if Lopez were to miss time.

Winn went 1-for-2 with a walk, one RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Diamondbacks. He was also hit by a pitch.

Winn had a productive sixth inning, driving in a run on a groundout before swiping second base. The shortstop has opened the second half with a bang, reaching base five times and driving in four runs in two games since returning from the All-Star break. For the year, he's slashing .246/.321/.333 with four homers, 42 RBI, 39 runs scored and eight steals across 365 plate appearances.

Turner went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk, a stolen base and two additional runs scored in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Mets.

Turner sparked the Phillies' offense, reaching four times and tallying a homer and a steal in the same game for the third time this season. The shortstop has gone deep in consecutive contests since returning from the All-Star break after a disappointing first half. For the year, he's slashing .241/.290/.373 with 12 home runs, 35 RBI, 66 runs scored and 17 stolen bases across 424 plate appearances.

Triolo isn't in the lineup for the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Guardians.

Triolo has made six straight starts at shortstop and closed out the first half with a three-hit performance against Milwaukee, but the Pirates will keep him on the bench to begin Saturday's twin bill. Jacob Gonzalez will get the nod at shortstop and bat eighth.

De La Cruz went 4-for-5 with a home run and an additional run scored in Friday's win over the Rockies.

De La Cruz launched his 16th homer of the season in the ninth inning off Jeff Criswell, extending his hitting streak to four games. The star shortstop remains a dynamic fantasy performer, and he's hit safely in 12 of his last 15 games. Over that stretch, De La Cruz is slashing .339/.414/.597 with four homers, seven RBI, 11 runs scored and four stolen bases across 70 plate appearances.
