  • Richard Urena SS | WAS

    Blue Jays' Richard Urena: Out of lineup Monday

    Urena is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Red Sox.

    Urena is just 1-for-21 (.048) with 10 strikeouts in his previous eight contests, so he'll start on the bench for a fourth straight game. Ryan Goins, who appears to have reclaimed his role as the Blue Jays' everyday shortstop, will draw another start in his place.

  • J.P. Crawford SS | SEA

    Phillies' J.P. Crawford: Not starting Monday

    Crawford is out of the lineup Monday against the Nationals.

    Since being called up to the big leagues Sept. 5, Crawford has started 18 of Philadelphia's 22 games. In that time, he's slashed .232/.362/.339 while spending time at second base and shortstop, but mostly the hot corner. Coming off Sunday's 0-for-3 effort, in which he struck out twice, Crawford will get the night off and give way to Maikel Franco at third base.

  • Braves' Johan Camargo: Heads to bench for Game 1 of twin bill

    Camargo is out of the lineup for the first game of Monday's doubleheader with the Mets.

    Camargo will cede duties at third base to Rio Ruiz, who will draw his third straight start at the position. Because Camargo possesses the versatility to play all over the infield, he still looks to have a path to stable at-bats over the final week of the season, making him a decent option for fantasy owners searching for help in the batting-average department.

  • Tim Anderson 2B | LAA

    White Sox's Tim Anderson: Swipes 15th bag in Sunday's win

    Anderson went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 8-1 win over the Royals.

    Anderson extended his hitting streak to a career-high 15 games, continuing a surge that kicked off Aug. 1. During that run, he's brought his speed back into play -- Sunday's stolen base was his ninth over the last 17 games. Speed was an element of his game when he was in the minors, but Anderson got away from it for a while once he hit the majors.

    Blue Jays' Richard Urena: Not starting Sunday

    Urena is out of the lineup Sunday against the Yankees.

    After seeing regular playing time at shortstop early in September, Urena has spent far less time in the lineup lately as he's started just one of Toronto's last five games. Darwin Barney is starting at second base while Ryan Goins moves to shortstop Sunday.

  • Javier Baez SS | DET

    Cubs' Javier Baez: Stationed on bench Sunday

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

    After five straight starts -- a stretch over which he went 5-for-16 with two RBI -- Baez will be afforded a day of rest ahead of the series finale against Chase Anderson and the Brewers.

  • Carlos Correa SS | HOU

    Astros' Carlos Correa: Reaches base four times Saturday

    Correa went 3-for-3 with a walk, a double, three RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Angels.

    Correa's transition from a thumb injury hasn't gone as smoothly as he'd like, as he's .182 (12-for-66) in 17 games since the Astros activated him off the 10-day disabled list. He had missed so much time due to the injury, it's natural that it's taking Correa some time to get back to form. He squared up a couple of balls and received an intentional free pass Saturday, a good sign he's rounding into form for the postseason. Perhaps Friday's day off was just the ticket.

  • J.P. Crawford SS | SEA

    Phillies' J.P. Crawford: Will start at shortstop Sunday

    Manager Pete Mackanin said Crawford will get a start at shortstop Sunday, Jim Salisbury of CSN Philadelphia reports.

    Crawford has started 16 of the Phillies' 18 games since he was promoted from Triple-A Lehigh Valley but has made only three starts at shortstop, his natural position. The 22-year-old has hit just .245 in his 53 at-bats, but he does have a solid .379 on-base percentage. If the Phillies want to keep Crawford in the majors next year, they may need to open up a spot in their infield by trading Freddy Galvis or Maikel Franco this offseason.

  • Indians' Francisco Lindor: Continues raking in September

    Lindor went 2-for-5 with a double, a homer and three runs Saturday against the Mariners.

    Lindor smashed his 33rd homer of the campaign to open the scoring for the Indians in the first inning of a road victory. He's launched eight homers while hitting over .300 this month, and he certainly has done everything in his power to help fantasy owners during the most important time of the season.

  • Braves' Johan Camargo: Not in Saturday's lineup

    Camargo is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Phillies.

    Camargo will be held out Saturday after starting the last three games at first base. Rio Ruiz will man the hot corner in Camargo's place.
