Correa went 4-for-5 with two doubles and three RBI in Sunday's 8-1 win over the Yankees.

Correa extended his hitting streak to 12 games while delivering two of his team's nine extra-base hits in this one. With 11 runs scored and 15 more driven in during those 12 contests, Correa has certainly made the most of the opportunities presented by batting in the heart of baseball's second most potent lineup. It's scary to think that the 22-year-old shortstop likely still hasn't hit his ceiling with this season's .319/.394/.554 line.

DeJong is out of Sunday's lineup against the Nationals.

After starting 16 straight games, DeJong takes a seat in favor of Greg Garcia, who will bat seventh and man second base. Over his string of consecutive starts, DeJong has hit .290 with five home runs and an atrocious 20:2 K:BB in 62 at-bats.

Seager went 3-for-5 with s solo home run in Saturday's win over the Padres.

The start shortstop received an extra day of rest after returning from a minor hamstring injury Thursday, and it resulted in Seager's 25th multi-hit game of the season. The 23-year-old remains one of fantasy's top options at short with a healthy .299/.401/.511 slash line through 75 games.

Adrianza (abdomen) could come off the 10-day disabled list as soon as Monday, Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

The Twins will wait and see what they have on hand in terms of available pitchers for Monday's series opener against the Angels before determining if they can get away with carrying one less reliever to accommodate Adrianza's return. The utility infielder played in both ends of a doubleheader at Triple-A Rochester on Saturday and has gone 1-for-10 at the dish during his rehab assignment.

Bogaerts was scratched from the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays due to right groin tightness, Brian MacPherson of the Providence Journal reports.

Bogaerts was having difficultly getting stretched out prior to the game, and after consulting with team trainers and manager John Farrell, it was decided that the 24-year-old would require a day off. Tzu-Wei Lin will move over to shortstop in place of Bogaerts, while Deven Marrero enters the lineup at third base. The Red Sox should provide another update on Bogaerts' condition before the team continues its road trip in Texas on Monday.

Tejada will start at shortstop and bat eighth Sunday against the Rays.

It appeared Tejada had ceded the starting shortstop job to Paul Janish after being limited to a bench role for four straight games, but manager Buck Showalter has since decided to turn the position back over to the veteran. Tejada will pick up his fourth straight start Sunday after recording his third two-hit performance of the season a day earlier while Janish hits the bench once again.

Gordon is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.

Gordon started the first two games of the Marlins' weekend series against the Brewers -- collecting one hit in eight at-bats -- but he'll head to the bench in favor of Derek Dietrich. Though he's swiped an impressive 29 bags this season, Gordon's last stolen base came over a week ago on June 24.

Anderson went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in Saturday's 10-4 loss to the Rangers.

Anderson was back in the lineup after a two-day absence designed to clear his head, but he remains in a deep funk. The 24-year-old shortstop has two hits in his last 25 at-bats (.080) with nine strikeouts (34.6 percent). Anderson's undergoing adversity during his second season, and it's up to him to adjust.

Correa went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and two RBI during Saturday's win over the Yankees.

Correa has been a rock-solid fantasy asset since entering the league, and this season he's taking his game to another level. The shortstop sports a .311/.388/.543 slash line with 17 home runs, 55 RBI and 56 runs. It would be nice to see him more active on the bases, as he hasn't attempted a steal all season. However, he owns a 1.079 OPS through his past 19 games and has recorded a hit in 17 of those contests, including 11 straight, so it's tough to nitpick.

Lindor went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in Saturday's loss to the Tigers.

The talented shortstop has been mired in a slump, as he slashed just .214/.261/.339 in June and started his July with an 0-for-4. There's still plenty of reason to believe Lindor will get things turned around, however, as he's striking out just 12.2 percent of the time and his .252 BABIP should inch its way closer to league average as the season progresses. Furthermore, he's shown to be a strong finisher with a career .321/.370/.477 slash line in the second half.
