Astros rookie shortstop Carlos Correa had yet another big night at the plate in Saturday's 9-2 win over the Diamondbacks. The top prospect went 2 for 5 with a pair of home runs in the big victory.

Correa got the Astros on the board early when he slugged a solo home run in the first inning. He later added a two-run shot in the sixth to close out the scoring for the Astros. 

The 20-year-old has hit safely in 15 of his past 16 games, batting .357 with three home runs and 13 RBI over that stretch.

Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts went 4 for 5 in Saturday's win over Tampa Bay. 

Bogaerts doubled and drove in three runs. He's 7 for his last 13 over the last three games. 

Bogaerts had 4 hits for the second time in the last seven games. He also has a 3-hit day over that span. 

Diamondbacks left fielder David Peralta isn't in the starting lineup for Saturday's game, after 70 starts there this season. 

Cliff Pennington starts in his place for just the second time this season. He previously got the call in left field on June 28. 

Angels third baseman Conor Gillaspie isn't in the starting lineup for Saturday's game. Gillaspie has started five of the last six games at the hot corner. 

Taylor Featherston replaces Gillaspie in the lineup, starting at third for the eighth time this year. 

Marlins shortstop Miguel Rojas is not in the lineup for his team's matchup against the Nationals on Wednesday. 

Rojas is out with a lingering shoulder injury and will be replaced by Adeiny Hechavarria at shortstop.

Marlins infielder Miguel Rojas, who has missed some time with a right shoulder sprain, is available to play off the bench, according to Fox Sports.

Astros rookie shortstop Carlos Correa continued to terrorize big-league pitching in Tuesday's 10-5 win over the Angels. Correa went 3 for 4, including his ninth home run. 

Correa's homer was a two-out solo shot in the bottom of the first to trim the Angels' lead to 2-1 at the time. He would also single twice later on in the game, giving him an impressive .299 batting average over his first 42 games.

The youngster is particularly hot right now, batting an absurd .565 with two home runs and nine RBI over his last 10 games.

Fresh off of the disabled list, Marlins second baseman Dee Gordon went right back to making an impact on the basepaths in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Nationals. Gordon went 2 for 3 with a triple and a sacrifice bunt.

He also scored a run and continues to lead the league in hits with 124, despite missing more than two weeks with a thumb injury. Gordon is batting .294 over his past nine games.

The Marlins removed second baseman Dee Gordon from the disabled list Tuesday, the team announced.

Gordon had been out since July 11 with a thumb injury. He will bat first and play second in Tuesday's game against the Nationals, reports MLB.com.

With Gordon back on the roster, the team placed infielder Donovan Solano on the paternity list.

Marlins second baseman Dee Gordon went 1 for 4 in a Class A rehab game on Monday.

Gordon started at second base and hit out of the leadoff spot as he continues to work his way back from the thumb injury that landed him on the 15-day disabled list.

Gordon could be ready to return to the team on Tuesday.

"I'm not the training staff -- I'm going to go with whatever the organization wants me to do," Gordon said. "But I feel good and it was good to get back out there today."
