Seager went 3-for-4 with a solo homer in Wednesday's 4-3 victory over the Nationals.

The 22-year-old extended his hitting streak to seven games with his fourth multi-hit effort in the last five contests. Seager is enjoying his best month of the season in June, one that has seen him tally two multi-homer outings, a trio of three-hit efforts, and a .321/.386/.641 line over 78 at-bats.

Bogaerts went 3-for-5 with a double, three RBI and a run against the White Sox on Wednesday.

His average briefly dipped under the .350 mark because he went 1-for-7 in the first two games of this series, but the studly shortstop got right back at it in this one. He's on pace to easily go 20-20 for the first time while contending for a batting title, making Bogaerts one of the most valuable players in all of fantasy. It would be no surprise to see him rack up some more hits Thursday, when the White Sox deploy the legendarily struggling James Shields against Bogaerts and his mates.

Diaz went 3-for-4 with his a two-run homer, one walk and scored twice against the Cubs on Wednesday.

His ninth home run of the season was a two-run blast in the sixth that practically put the game away. Entering the series, the rookie shortstop's average has dipped below .300 for the first time all season. He's now back up to .310 after going 6-for-11 with three walks, three RBI and three runs in the set at Wrigley.

Swanson had two hits and scored a run in three at-bats during the Southern League All-Star Game Tuesday.

Since being promoted to Double-A on April 30, the Braves' top prospect has hit only .242 in 44 games with the Mississippi Braves. Swanson looks to need more seasoning in the minors and doesn't seem likely to reach the majors this season, especially with fellow shortstop Ozzie Albies ahead of him at Triple-A Gwinnett.

Correa went 2-for-3, including a home run and a walk-off hit, with three RBI in Tuesday's win over the Angels.

Correa was responsible for all of the team's runs in the 3-2 victory. He hit his second home run in two games to cut the lead to 2-1 in the fifth. With the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth, the shortstop hit a dramatic game-winning drive into the gap off Angels closer Huston Street. Correa has dealt with the proverbial "sophomore slump" at times this season, but he's having his best month, hitting .295 (18-for-61) in June.

Anderson hit his first home run, a solo shot, as part of a 2-for-4 game in Tuesday's win over the Red Sox.

Anderson is on fire, with multiple hits in four of his past seven games. He has five extra-base hits in that span -- three doubles and a triple to go with the home run. Anderson has yet to take a walk in 49 plate appearances since his call up, but with a .292 average and .479 slugging percentage, it's hard to blame him for swinging.

Adrianza (foot) will begin running in a couple days and should start his rehab assignment before the end of July, Andrew Baggarly of the San Jose Mercury News reports.

Adrianza estimated that he will need around 10 to 12 rehab games to "get his timing back." The utility infielder fouled a ball off of his foot in a game April 14 and hasn't played since, as he was diagnosed with a fractured left foot. He could return just before the All-Star break begins, but will most likely return to the club afterwards, around July 15.

Featherston is hitting .280/.328/.480 with nine home runs and a stolen base in 250 at-bats for Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

Featherston, 26, failed to impress as a Rule 5 pick with the Angels last season, and was unable to win a bench job with the Phillies this spring. He's been solid at Lehigh Valley, where he has cut down on his strikeout rate and is showing decent pop with his bat. The Phillies are getting little offensively from second base and shortstop, so they could give Featherston a look at some point this summer.

Lindor stuffed the stat sheet Monday against the Rays, finishing 3-for-4 with a double, a solo homer, two runs scored and a steal.

The 22-year-old has quietly matured into arguably the best all-around shortstop in baseball, backing up stellar defense with a .314/.375/.466 line and 12 steals in 15 attempts. That's also four three-hit games in the last eight for Lindor, who's clicking on all cylinders at the moment.

Correa hit his 10th home run as part of a 2-for-3 game with two runs scored and three RBI in Monday's win over the Angels.

Correa's power is down this season, but the 21-year-old is still one of just seven major league shortstops in double-digits in 2016. He's still showing solid plate discipline too, with a 12.5 percent walk rate. The main reason Correa's numbers have been down thus far is a 24.4 percent strikeout rate, up six points from 2015. It figures that major league pitchers would adjust to Correa a bit -- if he can make the counter-adjustments necessary to start making consistent contact again, he'll be right back to where he was in his brilliant rookie campaign last year.
