Correa went 2-for-3 with a home run, an additional run scored and two walks in Sunday's win over the White Sox.

Correa has homered in back-to-back games and has three over his last six games, a span in which he's also recorded hits in all but one appearance. The star shortstop has been seeing the ball well of late and is hitting .350 on the month, during which he's also racked up six homers, 13 RBI, 16 runs scored, five doubles and a 13:14 BB:K across 16 games.

Franco has been told by the Rays that he'll be called up ahead of Tuesday's game against the Red Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Franco cemented his status as baseball's top prospect with Triple-A Durham to begin the season, as he slashed .323/.376/.601 with seven home runs, 35 RBI, 30 runs and five stolen bases in 38 games. While Taylor Walls had been serving as the Rays' shortstop after Willy Adames was traded, Franco should see regular playing time in the infield right away.

Mondesi exited Sunday's game against the Red Sox in the seventh inning due to a side injury, Lynn Worthy of The Kansas City Star reports.

Mondesi was reinstated from the injured list Tuesday after missing time with a hamstring injury, but he's now dealing with a side issue. The shortstop will be able to rest during Monday's scheduled day off, but he'll be further evaluated by the team's medical staff to determine the extent of his injury.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Seager (hand) could begin a minor-league rehab assignment as soon as Friday or Saturday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Seager's fractured right hand apparently held up well when he resumed taking batting practice Friday, so assuming he incurs no setbacks in his workouts over the next few days, he looks like he''ll be cleared for game action by the end of the week. Because Seager has been sidelined since May 15 with the injured hand, he'll likely spend the entire weekend at a minor-league affiliate, but if all goes well, he could be cleared to rejoin the big club early next week. Before suffering the injury, Seager was hitting .265 with four home runs and one stolen base through 37 games.

Williams will start at second base and lead off Sunday against the Giants, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

While the Phillies are without second baseman Jean Segura and everyday shortstop Didi Gregorius due to injuries, Williams looks like he could be in store for regular duties in the middle infield. The right-handed-hitting Williams will pick up his fifth straight start Sunday, though it bears noting that four of those have come against left-handed pitchers. Even so, Williams has made the most of his opportunity over the past four games, going 6-for-16 with three doubles.

Crawford went 1-for-5 with a grand slam and an additional run in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Rays.

Crawford provided the most productive hit of the contest, launching a second-inning grand slam that gave Seattle a short-lived three-run lead. He also scored the winning run in the 10th after beginning the frame as the inherited runner at second base. The shortstop extended his hit streak to seven games, during which he is slashing .387/.387/.645 with two homers and seven RBI.

Correa went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Saturday's 7-3 win over the White Sox.

Correa homered off Jose Ruiz in the eighth inning to extend the Astros' lead to four runs. The shortstop had his second long ball of the week and has provided an RBI in five of the last six games. He has done a great job getting on base, leading the Astros with 37 walks and with a .386 OBP. Also, the 26-year-old has a respectable 13 long balls, trailing just Jose Altuve's 16 for Houston.

Fletcher went 3-for-3 with a double, two RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 8-3 win over Detroit.

The 27-year-old knocked in a run with a sacrifice bunt in the sixth inning, and he added an RBI double in the eighth. Fletcher is on a six-game hitting streak, during which he's gone 12-for-21 (.571) with seven RBI, five runs scored and three doubles. The contact-hitting infielder has posted a .281/.312/.328 slash line with no home runs, 24 RBI, 38 runs scored and three stolen bases across 275 plate appearances overall. Given his recent surge, Fletcher has responded well to batting at the bottom of the order, although that gives him fewer chances to make an impact for fantasy managers.

Story went 2-for-4 with a walk, an RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's 6-5 loss to Milwaukee.

Story has regained his speed a bit in the last week, notching five steals in his last seven games. The shortstop is up to a .256/.333/.411 slash line with five home runs, 28 RBI, 33 runs scored and 13 steals in 17 attempts. He's riding a six-game hitting streak (9-for-21) heading into Sunday's series finale versus Milwaukee.

Adames went 4-for-5 with a home run, three doubles, three RBI and three runs scored in Saturday's 6-5 win over Colorado.

The shortstop had no trouble getting good contact Saturday. He opened the scoring with an RBI double in the first inning and added a go-ahead two-run homer in the ninth. Adames hadn't homered since June 5, but he posted five doubles in 12 games in that span. The 25-year-old is slashing .237/.296/.434 with nine home runs, 33 RBI, 30 runs scored and two stolen bases through 247 plate appearances.
