Correa went 1-for-4 with a solo homer in Monday's ALCS Game 2 loss against the Rays.

Correa cut the deficit to two in the top of the sixth with a solo shot off Pete Fairbanks, but it didn't wind up being enough as the Astros lost their second game in a row. Still, it continues the shortstop's remarkable postseason. He's now hit five homers in eight games, the same total he recorded in 58 regular-season contests. He's slashing .423/.559/1.000, bringing his career postseason slash line to .268/.343/.536 in 58 games.

Seager went 3-for-4 with two doubles, two runs, two RBI and a stolen base during Wednesday's Game 2 win over the Padres.

The 26-year-old hit a solo homer in the first game of the playoffs but entered Wednesday's game hitless in his past seven at-bats. He broke out in Game 2 to power the offense. Seager is now 4-for-14 with one homer, two doubles, four runs, four RBI ad two walks through four postseason games.

Diaz went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run during Wednesday's loss to the Athletics in Game 3 of the ALDS.

Diaz hit a two-run homer in the fifth inning off Jesus Luzardo, knocking in Yuli Gurriel to square the game at 4-4. The veteran made the most out of his first postseason start in 2020, considering the round tripper was his first ever in the playoffs.

Swanson went 1-for-3 with a solo homer in Wednesday's win over the Marlins in Game 2 of the NLDS.

Swanson homered in the second inning off Pablo Lopez. The 26-year-old broke open the game for Atlanta, carrying over some of the momentum from his impressive .274/.345/.464 regular-season line.

Correa went 3-for-5 with two homers and four RBI in Monday's ALDS Game 1 win over Oakland.

Correa tied the game at 3-3 with a two-run homer off Chris Bassitt in the top of the fourth. In the top of the seventh, with his team up 7-5, he added an insurance run with a solo homer off Lou Trivino. He extended the Astros' lead to four in the very next frame with an RBI single. The shortstop now has 14 homers in 53 career playoff games and owns a career postseason wRC+ of 128, edging out his regular-season wRC+ of 127.

Anderson went 3-for-5 with a run scored in Wednesday's Game 2 loss to the Athletics.

He now has three hits in each of the two games in this series, as Anderson's bat has stayed hot this postseason. Look for him to lead off again in Thursday's deciding Game 3.

Seager went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Wednesday's Game 1 victory over the Brewers.

He took Freddy Peralta deep in the seventh inning to give the Dodgers an insurance run. That blast ended up being the last score of a 4-2 win. Seager and Mookie Betts did most of the damage for the Dodgers out of the first two spots in the lineup.

Correa went 2-for-4 with a solo homer in Wednesday's win against the Twins in Game 2 of the AL Wild Card Round.

Correa's homer proved to be the deciding hit of the series, as his seventh-inning solo shot off Cody Stashak gave his team a 2-1 lead in a game the Astros would eventually win 3-1. He's now gone 3-for-6 with a pair of walks so far this postseason.

Arcia went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's Game 1 loss to the Dodgers.

Arcia provided the Brewers' only runs of the opening game of the best-of-three NL Wild Card Series. He should start at shortstop again in Game 2 against lefty Clayton Kershaw.

General manager Ben Cherington expects Cruz to take part in spring training despite the 21-year-old's role in an offseason accident in the Dominican Republic, the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports.

"No reason to believe he wouldn't be available for spring training, full participant," Cherington said. "No information that I have that would suggest he wouldn't be." The accident took the lives of three people. Some reports coming out of the Dominican Republic remain unclear and fantasy managers will still need to take a wait-and-see approach with the fallout from the tragedy.
