Correa extended his hot streak as he has now hit safely in nine of the last 10 games, including five multi-hit efforts. His recent success at the plate has raised his season slash line to a strong .305/.400/.534 to go with 14 long balls.

Mariners' J.P. Crawford: Riding 10-game hitting streak
Crawford will head into Friday's series opener against the White Sox with a 10-game hitting streak during which he's forged a .372/.372/.581 slash line across 43 plate appearances.
The hot-hitting shortstop has three doubles, two home runs , eight RBI and seven runs during that span as well. Crawford is sporting a career-best .284 average, .407 slugging percentage and .749 OPS following Wednesday's 2-for-4, one-run effort against the Rockies.

Corey Seager SS | TEX
Dodgers' Corey Seager: Remains on track
Seager (hand) remains on track to return in early July, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Manager Dave Roberts said that "everything is where it needs to be" in regards to Seager's rehab. Even so, it's no surprise that the team is taking a cautious approach with its star shortstop, as he recently had his return to game action pushed back. Seager will now reportedly begin a rehab assignment as soon as June 28.

Tommy Edman LF | LAD
Cardinals' Tommy Edman: Batting sixth Thursday
Edman is starting at second base and batting sixth in Thursday's game against the Pirates, Zachary Silver of MLB.com reports.
Manager Mike Shildt said Wednesday that he wanted to "shake things up" with the Cardinals' lineup Thursday, so Edman will move out of the leadoff spot for the first time this season despite going 6-for-15 with three runs, an RBI, a stolen base, a walk and a strikeout across the last four games. His placement in the lineup going forward likely depends on how the Cardinals respond to the changes, but Dylan Carlson will lead off in Thursday's matchup.

Bo Bichette 3B | NYM
Blue Jays' Bo Bichette: One base three times in win
Bichette went 2-for-4 with a walk, a run scored, an RBI and a stolen base in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Marlins.
He scored the Jays' first run of the game in the first inning, then drove in their last in the fifth. Bichette has been on a tear in June, slashing .327/.367/.476 through 20 games with three homers, five steals, 16 RBI and 18 runs.

Francisco Lindor SS | NYM
Mets' Francisco Lindor: Mashes ninth homer
Lindor went 2-for-4 with a walk, a home run, two runs scored and three RBI in Wednesday's 7-3 win over Atlanta.
After going 2-for-16 over his prior five games, Lindor showed another flicker of his Cleveland form. The shortstop has yet to put together a sustained hot streak for the Mets but June has been his best month so far, as he's slashing .256/.337/.500 through 23 games with five of his nine homers on the season.

Tim Anderson 2B | LAA
White Sox's Tim Anderson: Involved in win
Anderson went 2-for-5 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Pirates.
Anderson celebrated his 28th birthday by doubling home a run in the second inning and later scoring on Yasmani Grandal's two-run double in the fifth. The two-hit day helped salvage a road trip during which Anderson hit just .160 (4-for-25).

Trevor Story SS | BOS
Rockies' Trevor Story: Goes yard twice
Story went 2-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI Wednesday against the Mariners.
Story went yard in both the fourth and eighth innings to record his first multi-homer game of the season. The effort brought his total on the campaign to eight, three of which have come in his last three games. To this point, Story has delivered an underwhelming .259/.332/.444 line across 262 plate appearances, though he's also chipped in a very valuable 13 stolen bases.

Nick Ahmed SS | TEX
Diamondbacks' Nick Ahmed: Sitting Wednesday
Ahmed is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers.
Josh Rojas will fill in at shortstop for Ahmed, who appears to be receiving a routine breather for the day game after a night game. Ahmed had started in each of the Diamondbacks' previous six games, going 3-for-19 with a pair of runs.

Luke Williams 2B | ATL
Phillies' Luke Williams: Sitting against righty again
Williams is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.
On the bench versus a right-handed starting pitcher (Erick Fedde) for the second day in a row, Williams looks like he won't be in line for an everyday role at the keystone while Jean Segura (groin) is on the shelf. Instead, the lefty-hitting Brad Miller looks poised to draw most of the starts at the position versus right-handed pitching, leaving the righty-hitting Williams to fill a short-side platoon role.
