Correa went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer Sunday against the Mariners.

All of Houston's runs in this 7-1 win came on the team's four homers, with Correa's seventh-inning blast providing the final margin. Despite suiting up for only 98 games because of a thumb injury, the 2012 first overall pick has 21 long balls, 71 runs scored and 71 RBI. The soon-to-be 23-year-old shortstop projects to be among the best offensive options at his position for the next decade despite playing his home games at the pitcher-friendly Minute Maid Park.

Rojas, who exited Sunday's game early, was officially diagnosed with a left shoulder strain.

Rojas injured his left shoulder while diving for a ball in the second inning. The severity of the strain has not been revealed, but it appears that the shortstop could be sidelined for some time with the ailment. We'll await word from the Marlins on his official timeline.

Rojas exited Sunday's game against the Brewers with an apparent injury, Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald reports.

Rojas appeared to injure himself while diving for a groundball in the top of the second inning. He was holding his left wrist after the play, so he could be dealing with a wrist or potential shoulder injury. He was replaced by Mike Aviles at shortstop.

Baez is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Baez has started 10 of the past 11 games, but he'll head to the bench as the Cubs look to sweep the series against the Cardinals. Though he's able to play a number of positions, Baez figures to see a downtick in playing time following fellow shortstop Addison Russell's activation from the disabled list Saturday.

Lindor went 3-for-4 with two RBI and two runs in Saturday's win over the Royals.

Lindor's double in the sixth inning gave him an extra-base hit in 10 straight games -- a club record and four shy of the major league mark of 14, shared by Chipper Jones (2006) and Paul Waner (1927). According to the Associated Press, the Tribe's star is the first shortstop in the modern era with an extra-base hit in 10 straight games. Through 146 games, Lindor is hitting .281 with a career-high .852 OPS, and he ranks ninth in the AL with 90 runs.

Swanson is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Mets.

Johan Camargo will step in at short as Swanson sits following four consecutive starts. Swanson showed improvement initially upon his return to the majors, but he's hit another slide in recent weeks. While his dynasty-league stock has taken a considerable hit this season, Swanson is still just 23 and should have every opportunity to reverse the narrative in 2018.

Bogaerts went 4-for-7 with a walk, a hit-by-pitch, two RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 13-6 extra-inning win over the Rays.

Bogaerts delivered a ninth-inning single to complete a three-run ninth inning, extending the game into extra frames. He appears to be breaking out of the long, extended slump that began in July when he was hit by a pitch on the hand. Over the last six games, he's 10-for-24 with three RBI and eight runs scored. He's also been hit by pitches the last two games, which comes at a time when he's getting over the original hand injury.

Anderson has reintroduced a running game to his offense this month, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Anderson had gone 72 games with just two attempted steals before swiping five bags in five attempts over the last nine games. Basestealing was a big part of his game in the minors -- Anderson stole 49 bases at Double-A Birmingham in 2015 -- and he said he got away from it in the majors for a variety of reasons. "Kind of got caught up in trying to impress when I got to the big leagues -- kind of lost focus with it and being not sure or kind of scared in certain spots, because I didn't want to get thrown out," he said. "Now it's just, 'So what if I get thrown out. Just go.'" With Anderson's power beginning to develop -- the 24-year-old has 16 home runs this season -- we're looking at a potential 20-20 man for the White Sox over the next several seasons.

Seager went 1-for-5 with a three-run homer Friday against the Nationals.

Seager crushed his 20th bomb of the year to break the game open in the second inning of a winning effort. The blast was his first since August 5, and his slugging percentage has dropped significantly since that time, but hopefully he'll get hot in time to help fantasy managers advance in the playoffs.

Bichette slashed a ridiculous .372/.427/.591 with 14 home runs, 74 RBI, 88 runs and 22 stolen bases through 110 combined games at Low-A Lansing and High-A Dunedin.

Bichette has quietly produced numbers more impressive than Toronto's highly-touted top prospect, Vlad Guerrero. Both the aforementioned teenagers are sons of former MLB All-Stars, and both played up to the hype in 2017. Selected in the second round of the 2016 draft, Bichette -- a six-foot, 200 pound shortstop -- owns a stellar .372 batting average, and 1.018 OPS through his first two professional seasons. He's proven to be an all-around beast on offense, and Bichette shouldn't make it past 2018 dynasty drafts without being rostered.
