Anderson went 3-for-4 with a double, an RBI, two stolen bases and a run scored in Sunday's 8-1 win over the Giants.

Anderson is showing why the White Sox invested six years in him prior to the season, having gone 13-for-25 with five extra-base hits and three stolen bases over the last six games. His average is up to .252, its highest point since May 29. There's still some work to do on his plate approach -- he doesn't walk much, strikes out a lot, and is susceptible to breaking stuff -- but as we close in on the end of the season, Anderson is on the verge of double-digit home runs and steals. That's a valuable fantasy asset at the middle-infield spot.

Lindor went 2-for-4 with a double, a home run and two runs scored in Sunday's win over the Orioles.

The 23-year-old has now homered in consecutive games and three times in his last four games, bringing his total to 29 on the year. One more and he will have doubled his total from 2016. Lindor has given something back in batting average this season, but he's done enough across the board to be a top-three shortstop in terms of earned fantasy value.

Gordon is out of the lineup Sunday against the Braves, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.

Miami's quick second baseman will get the day off while Mike Aviles fills in and hits seventh. Over his last six games, Gordon went 8-for-27 (.296), scored three runs and picked up two stolen bases.

Bogaerts will start at shortstop in Sunday's series finale against the Rays, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

Bogaerts had been given the day off Saturday while Eduardo Nunez started at short, but he was forced to enter the game when Nunez left with a knee injury.

Swanson is out of the lineup for Sunday's matchup versus Miami.

Swanson has started each game since being recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett on Aug. 9. In that time Swanson has shown drastic improvement from how he started the season, as he's notched a .320/.437/.433 line over the last 30 games. He'll get the day off while Johan Camargo covers shortstop and hits seventh. The Braves don't play Monday, so look for Swanson to return to the lineup Tuesday against the Nationals.

Correa went a combined 1-for-8 over both ends of Saturday's doubleheader against the Athletics.

Correa is just 4-for-30 (.133) over the seven games since returning from a thumb injury. It's the type of injury that can affect a player's swing, so be patient as the young shortstop works through his timing and mechanics.

Story went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and three RBI during Saturday's win over the Dodgers.

The shortstop is putting together a respectable push of late with 10 doubles, two homers, 11 RBI, five runs and an .857 OPS through his past 15 games. While it's been a mediocre-at-best season from Story, there are still plenty of settings where he's a solid option, and maintaining his current pace through the end of the season would be a boon to his final stat line.

Camargo went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer and an RBI single Saturday during the Braves' 6-5 win over the Marlins.

The big blast marked Camargo's fourth of the year and helped move his effective slash line up to .297/.330/.472 over his first 208 major-league plate appearances. It's a small sample size, and those numbers will cool, but the Braves appear content with letting him piece together at-bats across second base, third base and shortstop as they play out the string in 2017. Some deep-league fantasy players could benefit from his increased playing time.

Anderson went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and another run scored in a 13-1 win over the Giants on Saturday.

Anderson was one of six White Sox to clear the fences. He had gone 0-for-5 in his return Friday following a two-game absence due to illness. This was a nice turnaround performance, and he's now 11-for-29 with two homers to start September. Anderson's fantasy owners should continue riding the wave Sunday if he's in the lineup for the series finale.

Arcia went 3-for-5 with a double, three RBI and two runs in Saturday's 15-2 win over the Cubs.

Arcia had been hitting just .132 over 53 at-bats since Aug. 13, but he finally got back on track Saturday along with a number of his teammates in the blowout win. In spite of the extended slump, Arcia's season-long numbers -- .270 average, 14 home runs, 13 stolen bases, 52 runs -- are still quite useful from a shortstop-eligible player, so he could be worth plugging back into lineups again even if Saturday's performance doesn't prove to be a harbinger of what's to come.
