    Astros' Carlos Correa: First homer since reunion

    Correa went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Sunday against the Red Sox.

    Correa accounted for Houston's only run Sunday with his eighth home run of the season and first since he was traded to Houston on Thursday. He's taken over as the Astros' primary third baseman while hitting either third or fourth in the order.

  • White Sox's Colson Montgomery: Tear continues

    Montgomery went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run and an RBI single during Sunday's 8-5 loss to the Angels.

    Montgomery headlined a four-run first inning for the White Sox, launching a three-run home run. He followed up the long ball with an RBI single in his second at-bat. The 23-year-old shortstop has been mashing since the All-Star break, going 15-for-58 (.259) with seven home runs, 21 RBI and nine runs scored. All seven of his homers have come in his last 11 games. Montgomery has an .851 OPS on the year.

  • Zachary Neto SS | LAA

    Angels' Zach Neto: Ends power drought

    Neto went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and a two-RBI double during Sunday's 8-5 win over the White Sox.

    Neto had gone 17 consecutive games without a round tripper, a dry spell that tied his season long, before tagging Sean Burke for a solo shot in the sixth frame Sunday. The performance marked Neto's first game since June 24 with multiple RBI. In his last 10 games, Neto is 10-for-37 (.270) with nine RBI and three runs scored.

  • J.P. Crawford SS | SEA

    Mariners' J.P. Crawford: Goes deep again

    Crawford went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run during Sunday's 5-4 win over the Rangers.

    Crawford took Jacob deGrom yard in the fourth inning, marking the shortstop's ninth homer of the campaign. He's swatted a long ball in two of his last three games, and Crawford has now scored a run in four consecutive contests. However, he hasn't had a multi-hit game since July 20. Since then, he's gone 6-for-33 (.182) at the dish.

  • Colt Emerson SS | SEA

    Mariners' Colt Emerson: Bumped up to Double-A

    The Mariners will promote Emerson from High-A Everett to Double-A Arkansas during the upcoming week, Adam Jude of The Seattle Times reports.

    Emerson will make the leap to Double-A after slashing .281/.388/.453 with 11 home runs and six stolen bases over 90 games with Everett this season. The shortstop is considered to be among Seattle's top prospects.

  • Luis Pena SS | MIL

    Brewers' Luis Pena: Moving up to High-A

    The Brewers will promote Pena from Single-A Carolina to High-A Wisconsin this week, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Pena will head to the Midwest League after slashing .308/.375/.469 with six home runs and 41 stolen bases across 309 plate appearances for Carolina. The 18-year-old has split time between shortstop and third base this season along with fellow top prospect Jesus Made, who is also set to move up to High-A this week. Pena and Made should continue to play regularly alongside one another on the left side of the Wisconsin infield for the rest of the season.

  • Chase Meidroth SS | CHW

    White Sox's Chase Meidroth: Remaining on bench Sunday

    Meidroth (thumb) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.

    Meidroth will miss out on a third consecutive start while he continues to tend to a bruised right thumb after being hit by a pitch Wednesday. Josh Rojas will spell Meidroth at second base and will bat ninth Sunday.

  • Darell Hernaiz SS | ATH

    Athletics' Darell Hernaiz: Stepping in as everyday shortstop

    Hernaiz will start at shortstop and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

    With Jacob Wilson (forearm) stuck on the injured list, Hernaiz appears to have taken over as the Athletics' primary shortstop. He'll collect his fifth straight start Sunday after going 5-for-14 with a solo home run over the previous four contests.

  • Pirates' Isiah Kiner-Falefa: On bench for series finale

    Kiner-Falefa is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

    Liover Peguero will move over to shortstop Sunday after a massive three-homer game as the first baseman Saturday, leaving no room in the lineup for Kiner-Falefa. Even if Peguero is handed an everyday role at shortstop over the final two months of the season, Kiner-Falefa could retain playing time by shifting over to third base, where Pittsburgh has an opening after trading Ke'Bryan Hayes to Cincinnati.

  • Brayan Rocchio SS | CLE

    Guardians' Brayan Rocchio: Receiving Sunday off

    Rocchio is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.

    Rocchio will take a seat after he had started each of the Guardians' previous 24 games while slashing .287/.330/.475 with one home run, 15 RBI and nine runs. Daniel Schneemann will fill in at second base.
