Carlos Correa SS | HOU
Twins' Carlos Correa: Exits early Tuesday
Correa was removed from Tuesday's game against the Red Sox due to lightheadedness, Audra Martin of FanDuel Sports Network North reports.
Correa initially remained in the game after getting looked at by a trainer following his first-inning single, but he didn't feel any better after a few minutes and was removed from the game in the third. Fantasy managers can consider the 30-year-old shortstop day-to-day for the time being.

Isiah Kiner-Falefa CF | BOS
Pirates' Isiah Kiner-Falefa: Not starting Tuesday
Kiner-Falefa isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Giants.
Kiner-Falefa will get a chance to rest his legs after driving in two RBI and scoring during Monday's contest. His absence will allow Liover Peguero to pick up a start at shortstop while batting ninth.

Corey Seager SS | TEX
Rangers' Corey Seager: Resting Tuesday
Seager is not in the Rangers' lineup Tuesday against the Angels.
Seager is getting his first day off since June 23. In the 28 games he has played in since then, he has slashed an astounding .330/.462/.650 with eight home runs and a 24:23 K:BB across 130 plate appearances. The shortstop had a .711 OPS prior to June 23 but has increased it by 152 points starting then. With the 31-year-old resting on the bench Tuesday, Ezequiel Duran enters the lineup at first base as Josh Smith moves over to shortstop.

Max Schuemann 2B | NYY
Athletics' Max Schuemann: Taking seat Tuesday
Schuemann isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mariners.
Schuemann is expected to receive regular action at shortstop with Jacob Wilson (forearm) now on the injured list, but the A's will give the former a day off Tuesday following his 0-for-4 performance Monday. Darell Hernaiz will fill in at short and bat ninth.

Jacob Wilson SS | ATH
Athletics' Jacob Wilson: Placed on injured list
The Athletics placed Wilson on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a fractured left forearm, retroactive to Saturday.
Wilson sat out the Athletics' last three games due to what was initially described as a bruised hand that he had been playing through since getting hit by a pitch before the All-Star break. Now that his injury has been revealed to be a forearm fracture, he'll land on the IL and receive time to recover properly. Darell Hernaiz was recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas in a corresponding move to replenish the big club's infield depth, though Max Schuemann projects as the likely choice to take over as the Athletics' primary shortstop.

Javier Baez SS | DET
Tigers' Javier Baez: Out of Tuesday's lineup
Baez is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Diamondbacks.
Baez started the previous seven games and will receive a day off after going 4-for-22 with nine strikeouts during that stretch. Zach McKinstry will step in at shortstop and bat seventh for Detroit.

Bo Bichette 3B | NYM
Blue Jays' Bo Bichette: New MLB hits leader
Bichette went 4-for-5 in Monday's loss to the Orioles.
All four knocks were singles, and none of them led to any runs, but Bichette remains laser-focused at the dish. The shortstop has a 10-game hitting streak going in which he's slashing .422/.435/.644 with seven doubles, a homer, six runs and 12 RBI, and per Mitch Bannon of The Athletic, he set a new Blue Jays franchise over the last two contests with hits in nine consecutive at-bats. Bichette's 130 hits on the season leads the majors, as he moved one ahead of Aaron Judge (wrist) with Monday's performance.

Isiah Kiner-Falefa CF | BOS
Pirates' Isiah Kiner-Falefa: Knocks in two
Kiner-Falefa went 1-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a run scored Monday against the Giants.
Kiner-Falefa narrowly missed a home run on a fly ball to center field in the second inning, though he still managed to drive in two after it bounced off the wall. Like many of the Pirates' regulars, he has struggled to produce much at the plate in July, going just 15-for-66 with six RBI and four runs scored across 21 games. Kiner-Falefa is also a trade candidate, so he may begin to lose out on playing time if he is dealt to a contender.

Elly De La Cruz SS | CIN
Reds' Elly De La Cruz: Swipes bag in loss
De La Cruz went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Dodgers.
De La Cruz didn't have a role in either of Cincinnati's runs, but he managed to steal his 29th base of the season. That puts him on the verge of a third consecutive season with 30-plus steals. He led the majors in 2024 with 67 steals.

Ryan Ritter SS | COL
Rockies' Ryan Ritter: Swelling down
Ritter (finger) has had two of the three stitches in his finger removed, MLB.com reports.
Ritter suffered a significant cut to his finger July 20, which required stitches. In addition to the removal of most of his stitches, the swelling associated with the injury has also subsided. Ritter still appears several days away from returning, as he has yet to resume swinging a bat.
