  • Carlos Correa SS | HOU

    Twins' Carlos Correa: Good to go Monday

    Correa (finger) will start at shortstop and bat second in Monday's game against the White Sox.

    Correa was lifted in the first inning of Sunday's 3-2 win over the Astros after he was hit on his right hand by a pitch in his lone at-bat of the day. Fortunately, X-rays cleared Correa of any structural damage, with the Twins labeling his injury as a finger contusion. The injury apparently isn't inhibiting Correa in batting practice Monday, so he'll be ready to go as the Twins kick off a six-game week to close out their pre-All-Star-break schedule.

  • Blue Jays' Leo Jimenez: Collects first big-league hits

    Jimenez went 2-for-3 with a run scored in Sunday's extra-inning win over the Mariners.

    Getting the start at second base and batting eighth, Jimenez banged out his first career hit in the second inning before reaching base again in the seventh and coming home on a George Springer homer. Jimenez will likely head back to Triple-A Buffalo when Isiah Kiner-Falefa (knee) gets healthy, but the 23-year-old could find a permanent spot on the MLB roster if the Blue Jays ship out veterans at the trade deadline.

  • Dylan Moore 2B | TEX

    Mariners' Dylan Moore: Productive as in-game replacement

    Moore entered Sunday's extra-inning loss to the Blue Jays as a pinch runner in the eighth inning and remained in the game in left field, going 1-for-1 with a single and a stolen base.

    Moore was able to leg out an infield single in the 10th inning and then was part of a double steal with Ryan Bliss, but the pair was ultimately stranded by a J.P. Crawford popup and Cal Raleigh flyout that ended the game. Moore had started the first two games of the series and three of the last four games overall, and Sunday marked his third straight game with a single. However, Moore hasn't been making as much impactful contact as usual lately, as he has just one extra-base hit (a triple), in his last 10 games.

  • Bobby Witt SS | KC

    Royals' Bobby Witt: Keeps raking

    Witt went 3-for-5 with a three-run home run and an additional run scored during Sunday's 10-1 win over Colorado.

    Witt clubbed his 15th home run of the season, taking Ty Blach yard for a three-run homer in the ninth inning. The 24-year-old shortstop was named an AL All-Star reserve and has shown exactly why he's deserving of the honor lately, batting 12-for-23 with three homers and nine runs scored across his last seven games

  • Jose Caballero 2B | NYY

    Rays' Jose Caballero: Provides offense in loss

    Caballero went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 13-2 loss to the Rangers.

    Caballero's homer briefly gave the Rays a 2-1 lead in the third inning before the Rangers scored nine runs over the next two frames. The utility infielder isn't known for his power, but he has two homers over his last five games. For the year, he's slashing .241/.301/.369 with six homers, 24 RBI, 38 runs scored and 24 stolen bases across 274 plate appearances. Caballero will likely see most of his playing time against left-handed pitchers, mainly serving as a platoon option in the middle infield.

  • Corey Seager SS | TEX

    Rangers' Corey Seager: Stays hot Sunday

    Seager went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run, a double and an additional run scored in Sunday's 13-2 win over the Rays.

    Seager's hitting streak is up to 12 games, a span in which he's gone 17-for-46 (.370) with eight extra-base hits, eight RBI and eight runs scored. The shortstop's fourth-inning homer turned this game into a romp for the Rangers. Seager is slashing .271/.352/.473 with 16 long balls, 43 RBI, 40 runs scored and one stolen base through 77 contests overall.

  • Zach McKinstry 3B | DET

    Tigers' Zach McKinstry: Delivers big blast Sunday

    McKinstry went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and three total RBI in Sunday's 5-1 win over the Reds.

    McKinstry delivered his third home run of the season in a surprisingly strong offensive performance. The utility player is still batting just .186 this season with a .550 OPS, and the two hits Sunday snapped an 0-for-14 streak over his last six games. McKinstry has some value to the Tigers due to his versatility, but that doesn't translate to a ton of fantasy value.

  • Mets' Francisco Lindor: Has three hits, two RBI in win

    Lindor went 3-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a walk in Sunday's win over the Pirates.

    Lindor delivered a clutch hit off Aroldis Chapman with the bases loaded and two outs in the ninth to give his team the win Sunday. Lindor continued his resurgence that has covered the last two months, during which he is hitting .277/.335/.492 with 10 homers, 34 RBI and 12 stolen bases over his last 58 games. After a forgetful April, the four-time All-Star has 22 multi-hit games since the beginning of May, which is tied for the fifth-most in MLB in that span.

  • Carlos Correa SS | HOU

    Twins' Carlos Correa: Expects to play Monday

    Correa (finger) expects to be in the lineup Monday versus the White Sox, Audra Martin of Bally Sports North reports.

    Correa exited Sunday's 3-2 win over Houston with a bruised right finger in the first inning, but he explained to Martin after the game that he doesn't expect the injury to sideline him moving forward. The shortstop will look to bring his expectation to fruition in Monday's series opener on the road against the White Sox.

  • Carlos Correa SS | HOU

    Twins' Carlos Correa: Dealing with bruised finger

    Correa had X-rays come back negative and was diagnosed with a right finger contusion after exiting Sunday's game against the Astros, Audra Martin of Bally Sports North reports.

    Correa was struck by 96-mph pitch during the opening frame of Sunday's contest but appears to have avoided a serious injury. The 29-year-old should be considered day-to-day heading into Monday's series opener against the White Sox.
