Seager is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cardinals.

Seager will get some rest after starting 12 consecutive games for the Dodgers. Over said games he hit .302 with an OPS of .886. With Seager getting the night off, Enrique Hernandez will start at shortstop. Look for Seager to return to action for Wednesday's game versus St. Louis.

DeJong went 2-for-4 with a double in Monday's 5-1 loss to the Dodgers.

After homering in a pinch-hit capacity in his first major-league at-bat Sunday against the Rockies, DeJong was the only Cardinal to log a multi-hit effort in Monday's loss. DeJong was slashing a solid .294/.331/.541 over 182 plate appearances at Triple-A Memphis before his call-up, so his early success at the big-league level is an extension of his efforts with the Redbirds. He projects to see a string of starts while Kolten Wong (elbow) remains on the disabled list, although he's presently expected to return to the minors for further seasoning upon the latter's return.

Nelson went 3-for-5 with a double, a home run and two RBI for Low-A Greensboro in Monday's loss to Lakewood.

He started the season on the shelf recovering from a quad injury, but since Nelson has returned to action, he's done nothing but rake. The 19-year-old is currently riding a 15-game hitting streak during which he has a .356/.409/.492 slash line, although his 5:21 BB:K in those 15 games indicates how much work he has yet to do at the plate. The Marlins' No. 5 prospect was seen as a raw athlete with speed and the tools to be a solid defender at the hot corner coming into the season, but so far in 2017 he's showing some impressive growth as a hitter.

Pennington went 2-for-4 in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Braves.

The utility man notched his first multi-hit effort since May 12 in Monday's loss, snapping an 0-for-8 slump. Pennington has bounced back after a difficult April in which he hit just .179, as he's now slashing .279/.354/.279 over 48 plate appearances in May.

Baez went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Padres.

To be fair, nobody in the Chicago lineup could muster much offense in this one, as they racked up just three knocks overall. Baez's big power stroke often leads to swings and misses (24.7 percent strikeout rate), so he'll have days like this. The young utility player has been one of Chicago's more consistent hitters this year. His power and stellar defense mean he should continue to play regularly even in a crowded Chicago lineup.

Gordon went 1-for-4 with a RBI double in Monday's 4-1 win over the Phillies.

Gordon's third-inning two-bagger brought home the first run of the night and served as the speedy infielder's third double in his last seven contests. The 29-year-old has hit safely in eight consecutive starts, and he's swiped 11 bags in May.

Correa went 3-for-5 with a home run, a double, three RBI and three runs during Monday's win over Minnesota.

Correa has strung together five consecutive multi-hit games with two doubles, two homers, six RBI and five runs. He sports a .311/.386/.514 slash line with eight bombs, 30 RBI and 33 runs for the campaign, and the 22-year-old Correa has a good chance at posting career-best numbers hitting in the heart of Houston's lineup.

Lindor is back in the lineup Monday against the Athletics.

Lindor was given a rare day off Sunday, but he'll be back in business Monday afternoon, batting second and manning shortstop.

Anderson will start at shortstop and lead off for the White Sox in Monday's game against the Red Sox.

Anderson has served as the White Sox's leadoff hitter on five other occasions in May, but had been batting out of the No. 5 spot over each of the previous five games. The shortstop's move upward in the lineup is likely just a result of Leury Garcia getting the afternoon off, so it's not expected that manager Rick Renteria has any plans to permanently stop using Anderson in the heart of the order.

Turner went 2-for-5 with a run scored in Sunday's loss to the Padres.

He seems to be putting things together at the plate, as Turner now has a .303/.324/.485 slash line over his last eight games with a homer, two steals, four RBI and five runs. Despite his slow start, the 23-year-old still has plenty of time to turn his season around.
