Crawford went 2-for-4 with a double and a run in a win over the Twins on Sunday.

Crawford has now hit safely in four straight games, a stretch during which he's recorded three extra-base hits, including his first home run of the season. The 24-year-old has taken over everyday shortstop duties for the time being, as he's now logged nine straight starts at the expense of Tim Beckham. Crawford's 5-for-16 tally during the four-game set against the Twins raised his average 46 points to .257.

DeJong went 1-for-4 with a two-run double, a sacrifice fly and a stolen base in an extra-inning loss to the Rangers on Sunday.

DeJong was a one-man wrecking crew over the three-game series, driving in a whopping seven runs and going 5-for-12 two doubles, a home run, a walk and two runs overall. The surging shortstop has now reached safely in 15 straight games, and all three components of his current .320/.408/.562 line are easily career-best figures.

Adames went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to the Yankees on Sunday.

Adames' 342-foot shot to right was the second of two homers in the second inning for the Rays. The 23-year-old shortstop has been enjoying a successful May after getting his season off to a slow start, with Sunday's production representing his fourth multi-hit effort of the month and pushing his average over that span to an impressive .311.

Bogaerts went 2-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Astros.

Bogaerts was key in a comeback win. The Red Sox had fallen behind, 3-1, before the shortstop delivered a two-out, game-tying run in the fifth inning. He later drove in the go-ahead run, again a two-out hit, doubling in Mookie Betts. Bogaerts has reached base safely in 10 straight games -- 22 times in his last 38 plate appearances. He's 13-for-38 (.342) with nine walks and nine runs scored during the streak.

Diaz (hamstring) is not expected to play Monday but will undergo a full workout prior to the game against the White Sox, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Pending how Diaz responds to the workout, he could return to the lineup Tuesday or Wednesday. Diaz has been thrust into a full-time role while second baseman Jose Altuve works his way back from a hamstring injury. With George Springer (back) unavailable Monday, the Astros are dangerously thin on position players, so it wouldn't be shocking if Diaz attempts to play.

Baez (heel) told manager Joe Maddon after Sunday's game that he expects to be in the lineup Monday against the Phillies, Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Baez was diagnosed with a heel contusion after exiting Sunday night's action in the sixth inning. While there's no formal news, this report indicates that the injury won't force Baez to miss much action, if any at all.

Correa went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Sunday against the Red Sox.

Correa took Chris Sale deep in the third inning to record his 11th home run of the season. He has now reached base in eight consecutive starts, highlighted by three multi-hit games. After battling injury for much of last season, Correa has rebounded to post an excellent .295/.357/.578 line across 185 plate appearances this season.

Baez was lifted early from Sunday's action with a heel contusion, Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com reports.

Baez exited the game in the sixth inning after apparently tweaking his ankle making a charging defensive play earlier in the contest. He was ultimately diagnosed with a heel contusion, though there is still no timetable on his return. His next chance to return to action will come Monday against the Phillies.

Baez exited Sunday's contest against the Nationals early with an apparent ankle injury, Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com reports.

Baez twisted his right ankle making a charging defensive play earlier in the game. However, he stayed in the contest for a few innings prior to being pulled with the Cubs up 6-1 in the sixth inning. His removal was viewed as a precaution, though there's no formal word on his status yet. Addison Russell took over at shortstop in his place.

Story went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Colorado's 7-5 loss to the Phillies on Sunday.

It was his only hit on the day, but Story made it count, touching up Jerad Eickhoff with a two-run blast in the fifth inning. He's now slashing .266/.330/.484 with 10 homers and 30 RBI through 184 at-bats.
