Correa went 2-for-5 with a solo homer and a pair of runs in Wednesday's win over the A's.

While Correa has yet to even attempt a stolen base this year after breaking double digits in each of the past two seasons, he's doing his finest work yet at the plate. Every component of his .301/.378/.521 slash line represents a career high, and with 14 homers already, he's on pace to blast past his career-best 22 from two seasons ago.

Ahmed went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer, a walk and two runs against the Rockies on Wednesday.

He got his piece of Arizona's 16-run Coors Field explosion by hitting his first homer since May 31. This was only Ahmed's ninth start among the team's 17 games in June, and he'd been awfully quiet over the prior eight. Most of his numbers are sitting at personal bests right now, but that doesn't mean they do much for fantasy owners except in deep formats.

Adrianza went 1-for-4 with three steals and an RBI against the White Sox on Wednesday.

It's disappointing that he didn't score any runs despite his fine work on the bases, which doubled Adrianza's steal total for the season. As an unremarkable hitter and relatively little-used utility infielder, he's not going to find a place on many fantasy rosters.

Lindor went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and three RBI during Wednesday's win over Baltimore.

Now up to 14 homers, 33 RBI and 42 runs with a .256/.319/.491 slash line, Lindor is turning in another excellent fantasy campaign. His .251 BABIP is well below the .333 mark he posted through his first two seasons, so it's likely that his .256 batting average has positive regression ahead. Continue to view Lindor as a set-and-forget asset in all settings.

Manager Terry Francona said Lindor's approach at the plate is getting "better," and the skipper isn't worried about his shortstop's recent slump , Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

Lindor's number have been trending the wrong way ever since a hot start to 2017. He's just 14-for-72 (.194) through 17 games this month, deflating the shortstop's overall average to .254 on the year. Lindor believes the struggle will benefit him in the long run. "It's only going to teach me how to be a better hitter. To understand what I am doing," the 23-year-old said. Francona agrees, saying he sees "a lot of progress" in Lindor's recent at-bats.

Bogaerts went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and two walks during Wednesday's loss to Kansas City.

Bogaerts has hit three bombs over his past four games but just five for the season, so he's currently locked into a nice power groove at the dish. The shortstop is turning in another solid fantasy campaign with a .322/.376/.474 slash line, 33 RBI, eight stolen bases and 44 runs. He projects to remain a high-floor asset hitting in the heart of a strong Boston lineup, too.

Diaz is not in Wednesday's lineup against the Phillies.

Diaz will be replaced at short by Paul DeJong, who is batting eighth in the order for Wednesday's contest. This marks the first day off for Diaz since June 13.

Owings is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Rockies.

Although Owings is in the midst of a seven-game hit streak, he'll head to the bench for a night off Wednesday. Nick Ahmed will take over at shortstop.

Camargo is batting second and playing second base Wednesday against the Giants.

The young infielder has been scaldingly hot as of late, going 10-for-18 with six runs scored and four RBI in the past seven games, so manager Brian Snitker will reward him with a move up the batting order. Camargo has claimed an everyday role for Atlanta, and although he's giving Brandon Phillips a breather at the keystone Wednesday, the 23-year-old seems to have the third base job on lockdown for the time being.

Tejada is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Indians.

Tejada is expected to see the bulk of the at-bats at shortstop with J.J. Hardy (wrist) out of commission for at least a month, but he'll take a seat Wednesday following back-to-back starts. Paul Janish will spell him in the field and bat ninth.
