Correa went 1-for-3 with an RBI single a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 8-6 win over the Mets.

This was Correa's first game back since tearing a ligament in his left thumb July 17. Hand injuries can be tricky to return from, so we'll have to watch to see if he experiences any problems with swing mechanics or a drop-off in power.

Lindor went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, two RBI and a walk in Sunday's 11-1 crushing of the Tigers.

The shortstop's sixth-inning blast pushed his career-high total to 26 on the year. Lindor has 12 home runs through 200 second-half at-bats, compared to 14 blasts in 349 at-bats prior to the break. His OPS has jumped 50 points since the Midsummer Classic, and the 23-year-old is showing no signs of slowing down in the campaign's final month. He's hit safely in nine of his last 10 games while popping a deep fly in seven of his last 14 contests.

Swanson went 2-for-3 with a double, a walk, a run scored and an RBI Sunday against the Cubs.

Swanson's been much better at the plate since being recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett following a midseason demotion and has now reached base multiple times in 12 of his past 17 games. The first overall pick in the 2015 draft still owns a subpar .238/.319/.342 line, but keep in mind he was sitting at .215/.290/.319 on Aug. 18.

Anderson went 3-for-4 with a double, a solo home run, three RBI and two runs scored during Sunday's win over Tampa Bay.

With a .243/.262/.395 slash line for the campaign, Anderson's fantasy value is limited to deep settings. However, Sunday's blast was his 15th of the campaign, and the White Sox are going to be rolling out an impressive collection of young talents sooner than later, so his long-term outlook remains favorable.

Bogaerts is out of the lineup Sunday against the Yankees, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

With Bogaerts struggling to produce since returning from a hand injury, manager John Farrell will keep the shortstop on the bench for a third straight game in favor of Eduardo Nunez. It doesn't sound as though Farrell plans to proceed with Nunez as his primary option at the position, so Bogaerts' string of absences may be designed to give him more time to heal up and refine his approach in batting practice. That being said, with Bogaerts' playing-time outlook uncertain heading into the coming week, it may be tough to justify activating him in most shallow leagues.

Baez was forced to exit Sunday's game following a collision at second base, Bruce Levine of 670TheScore.com reports.

Baez appeared to take a knee to the head in the collision and wasn't quite himself afterward. Look for the team to clarify his status when more information is known, but for now, Mike Freeman will take over at shortstop. Baez drew a walk in his only at-bat prior to the early exit.

Correa (thumb), who was activated from the 10-day disabled list earlier Sunday, will start at shortstop and bat fourth in the Astros' series finale with the Mets.

As expected, manager A.J. Hinch will waste no time ushering the superstar back into the lineup, allowing the Astros to give a breather to utility man Marwin Gonzalez. Correa batted .292 during his six-game rehab assignment, so fantasy owners probably shouldn't have many reservations of activating the shortstop heading into the upcoming week.

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

Coming off nine straight starts at second base, Gordon will get the day off for the series finale. Derek Dietrich will take over at the keystone in his stead, while also batting atop the order. It's a tough break for fantasy owners to see Gordon sit, as he's been on fire of late. He has 15 base knocks in only his last seven games, and is getting on base at a .516 clip over that stretch.

The Astros activated Correa (thumb) from the 10-day disabled list Sunday, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Houston has yet to unveil its lineup for the series finale against the Mets, but it's expected to feature Correa at shortstop with the 22-year-old having fully recovered from the torn thumb ligament that sidelined him for a month and a half. Correa's return means that Marwin Gonzalez will likely see most of his action in the outfield going forward, which could translate to fewer at-bats for the likes of Jake Marisnick, Cameron Maybin and Derek Fisher.

Baez went 2-for-5 with a double, a solo home run, two RBI and two runs during Saturday's win over Atlanta.

Baez posted a .290/.339/.523 slash line with seven homers, 25 RBI, five stolen bases and 21 runs in August, and Saturday's gem has his strong month continuing into September. There is a lot of game-to-game inconsistency with Baez, but he offers rare cross-category upside and high-end power potential from the middle infield. His eligibility at multiple positions shouldn't be overlooked, either.
