  • Tim Anderson 2B | LAA

    White Sox's Tim Anderson: Rare day off

    Anderson is not in the lineup against Minnesota on Thursday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

    Anderson will head to the bench for the series finale as Jose Rondon picks up a start at shortstop. Over the past 12 games, Anderson is hitting .295 with a 1.036 OPS and 13 RBI.

  • Trea Turner SS | PHI

    Nationals' Trea Turner: Swipes 17th bag Wednesday

    Turner went 2-for-5 with two runs scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's win over the Rays.

    Turner reached on a pair of singles in the first and sixth innings and came around to score each time. His 17 stolen bases are the third most in the majors, trailing only Ender Inciarte and Dee Gordon. Turner is now hitting .258/.342/.398 with seven homers, 24 RBI and 35 runs across 61 games this season.

  • Carlos Correa SS | HOU

    Astros' Carlos Correa: Exits with right side discomfort

    Correa exited Wednesday's game against the Mariners with right side discomfort, Julia Morales of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.

    Correa was 1-for-3 with a walk before being replaced by Marwin Gonzalez prior to the top of the eighth inning. He apparently felt something during his final at-bat in the seventh inning, though specifics remain unclear at this point. Consider the shortstop day-to-day for now. He'll be reevaluated Thursday.

  • J.P. Crawford SS | SEA

    Phillies' J.P. Crawford: Reinstated from disabled list

    Crawford (forearm) was activated from the 10-day disabled list Wednesday, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

    Look for Crawford to join the starting lineup within the next couple days as the Phillies continue a three-game set against the Cubs on Wednesday night. During his rehab assignment, Crawford played in five games with High-A Clearwater before joining Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday. Moving forward, it's unclear if Crawford will return to an everyday role at shortstop, especially since he had not been doing much -- hitting just .188/.246/.328 in 21 games -- prior to his injury. In a corresponding move, Mitch Walding was optioned to Lehigh Valley.

  • Orlando Arcia SS | MIN

    Brewers' Orlando Arcia: Absent from Wednesday's lineup

    Arcia is not in the lineup versus the Indians on Wednesday.

    Eric Sogard will draw a start at shortstop for the series finale while Arcia gets a day off following four straight games in the starting nine. Since being recalled from Triple-A last week, Arcia has gone 4-for-14 with one RBI.

  • Giants' Brandon Crawford: Hits RBI double, walks twice

    Crawford went 1-for-2 with an RBI double and two walks in Tuesday's loss to the visiting Diamondbacks.

    Crawford slashed a double -- his 14th of the year -- off Patrick Corbin in the fifth, bringing around Mac Williamson to give Crawford his 26th RBI. The shortstop continues to light it up at the plate, hitting .500 with four extra-base hits through the first five games of June. Crawford's slash line is now .322/.371/.500 with 22 extra-base hits. The 31-year-old's .871 OPS ranks fourth among all MLB shortstops.

  • Dansby Swanson SS | CHC

    Braves' Dansby Swanson: Homers, knocks in three Tuesday

    Swanson went 3-for-4 with a home run, a walk, two runs and three RBI in Tuesday's win over the Padres.

    Swanson registered an RBI single in the fourth and then swatted a two-run homer -- his sixth of the year -- in the next inning. Swanson is hitting .274/.335/.457 with 19 extra-base hits, 25 RBI and 22 runs scored, putting him around the middle of the pack with respect to MLB shortstops.

  • Daniel Castro SS | COL

    Rockies' Daniel Castro: Optioned to minors

    Castro was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

    Castro was hitting just .174/.191/.261 across 18 games with the Rockies and had no clear path to playing time with DJ LeMahieu back from the DL. He'll continue to serve as organizational infield depth with the Isotopes, where he hit an impressive .407/.429/.516 across 23 games earlier in the season. Mike Tauchman was recalled from Triple-A in a corresponding roster move.

  • J.P. Crawford SS | SEA

    Phillies' J.P. Crawford: Continuing rehab at Triple-A

    Crawford will move his rehab assignment to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday, Meghan Montemurro of The Athletic Philadelphia reports.

    Crawford will ramp up his rehab stint after going 4-for-20 with a homer and a walk through five games with High-A Clearwater. It's unclear how many games Crawford will need to play with the IronPigs before being activated from the DL, but things are trending in the right direction for the shortstop, who has been sidelined since the end of April with a forearm strain.

  • Giants' Brandon Crawford: Stays red hot Monday

    Crawford went 2-for-2 with a walk, a double and his seventh home run of the season in Monday's 10-3 win over the Diamondbacks.

    Crawford was part of a three-pitch sequence in the fourth inning that saw both he and Andrew McCutchen go deep off Arizona starter Zack Godley. After a disappointing start to the year (.189/.237/.300 in his first 27 games), the veteran shortstop has slashed an incredible .422/.461/.647 with five homers and 22 RBI since the calendar turned to May.
