  • Corey Seager SS | TEX

    Dodgers' Corey Seager: Double, homer in win

    Seager went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double, a home run and three total runs scored in Tuesday's win over the Rockies.

    Seager finally got on the board with his first long ball of the campaign -- the first of four Dodgers home runs Tuesday. He entered this game with just one extra-base hit in his last five games, but after this showing, Seager is up to a .366 average and 1.030 OPS.

  • Giants' Brandon Crawford: Smacks third homer

    Crawford went 1-for-3 with a walk, two strikeouts and a two-run home run in Tuesday's win over the Reds.

    Crawford only has six hits this season -- he's batting .171 -- but half of them have left the yard. He also has a stolen base. As the everyday shortstop for the Giants, Crawford usually bats sixth against righties and eighth against lefties.

  • Tommy Edman 2B | LAD

    Cardinals' Tommy Edman: Productive from top of order

    Edman went 1-for-4 with an RBI single and a stolen base in a loss to the Nationals on Monday.

    Edman's hitting streak now sits at eight games, and the RBI was his second of the season. The 25-year-old has hit leadoff in all 10 games thus far while putting in time at both second base and right field.

  • Paul DeJong SS | DET

    Cardinals' Paul DeJong: Bumps down in order amid struggles

    DeJong, who went 1-for-4 with two strikeouts in a loss to the Nationals on Monday, operated out of the No. 6 spot in the order for the first time this season.

    The struggling shortstop is now slashing .114/.262/.286 across 42 plate appearances, leading to his lowest slotting in the lineup yet this season. DeJong's leadoff single in the seventh Monday snapped a seven-game hitless drought, and while his abnormally low .105 BABIP certainly hasn't helped his cause, neither has the 27-year-old's 33.3 percent strikeout rate.

  • Carlos Correa SS | HOU

    Astros' Carlos Correa: Extends hit streak

    Correa went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 6-2 loss to Detroit.

    Correa's ninth-inning homer was a mild salve on a disappointing offensive performance for the Astros. The blast extended Correa's hitting streak to eight games, during which he's slashed .375/.412/.750 with six extra-base hits and six RBI.

  • Willy Adames SS | SF

    Rays' Willy Adames: Swats second homer

    Adames went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Monday's 1-0 win over the Rangers.

    He took Taylor Hearn deep in the seventh inning to give Tyler Glasnow and the bullpen all the run support they would need. Adames also struck out twice, giving him a shaky 2:9 BB:K over his last seven games, but he's hit both his homers on the season during that stretch while supplying four RBI and three runs.

  • Javier Baez SS | DET

    Cubs' Javier Baez: Plates two runs Monday

    Baez went 1-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Monday's loss against the Brewers.

    Baez has been one of the few bright spots in an anemic Cubs offense through the first 10 games of the season, and he has hit safely in four straight contests. The slick shortstop has homered twice with five RBI during that stretch.

  • Tim Anderson 2B | LAA

    White Sox's Tim Anderson: Expected back when first eligible

    Anderson (hamstring) is expected to return to the lineup when first eligible Thursday against Cleveland, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

    Anderson suffered a left hamstring strain in the fourth game of the season. While the injury was serious enough to send him to the injured list, he's recovered well and isn't in line for a lengthy absence. Leury Garcia and Danny Mendick have been filling in for him at shortstop and should remain the primary options there for the next three games.

  • J.P. Crawford SS | SEA

    Mariners' J.P. Crawford: First multi-hit effort of '21

    Crawford went 2-for-4 in Sunday's win over the Twins.

    The struggling shortstop's first multi-hit effort of the season pushed his average over the Mendoza Line for the first time as well. Crawford has actually reached safely in seven of his first nine games, but he's yet to notch an extra-base hit and has generated an anemic 14.3 percent hard-hit rate through 34 plate appearances.

  • Royals' Adalberto Mondesi: Still resting

    Mondesi (oblique) is still resting to let his injury fully heal as of Monday, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

    Mondesi has been on the injured list since the start of the regular season after he tweaked his oblique late in spring training. The 25-year-old has been resting as the team doesn't want to rush him back and risk a setback that would force him to miss additional time. Manager Mike Matheny declined to give a timetable for Mondesi's return Monday, but Nicky Lopez should continue to fill in at shortstop while Mondesi is sidelined.
