DeJong went 2-for-3 with a double, one RBI and a stolen base in Monday's 5-4 loss to the Marlins.

DeJong had gone just 6-for-29 (.207) over his previous 10 games, though he homered twice and drove in five runs in that span. His steal Monday was his first since May 23 and his fourth of the season. The shortstop is slashing .237/.309/.460 with 12 home runs, 27 RBI, 30 runs scored and eight doubles through 58 contests. He continues to play regularly, though he'll get the occasional day off when Tommy Edman gets a turn at shortstop.

Bogaerts went 3-for-3 with a three-run home run, a double, a walk and two runs scored in Monday's 10-3 win over the Angels.

Bogaerts opened the scoring in the first inning with a three-run blast, and the Padres never looked back. The shortstop struggled over the weekend, going 1-for-14 across three games versus the Reds, but that small dry spell is behind him. For the season, Bogaerts is up to nine homers, 31 RBI, 42 runs scored, nine stolen bases, 14 doubles and a .259/.343/.397 slash line through 79 contests.

Volpe went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in a 6-3 win over Baltimore on Monday.

The Yankees trailed 3-0 when Volpe kicked off a comeback with a solo shot in the fifth inning. The rookie shortstop also notched an infield single in the seventh to give him six multi-hit performances over his past seven games. Volpe has put together an eight-game hitting streak overall and is batting .500 (15-for-30) over that span.

Crawford (side) isn't in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Mariners.

Crawford suffered the injury on a dive during Sunday's game against the Mets, so the team may be taking a cautious approach, especially with the All-Star break on the horizon. Casey Schmitt draws the start at shortstop and is set to bat ninth in Crawford's stead.

Neto (oblique) played catch and is expected to hit off a tee Monday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Neto is continuing to ramp up his baseball activities, and Bollinger adds that the shortstop could be activated soon after the break if all goes according to plan. He's been on the 10-day injured list since June 15 due to a left oblique strain and will likely head out on a rehab assignment shortly.

Pena (neck) is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rangers.

Pena will sit out for a fourth consecutive game while he continues to contend with neck tightness. Mauricio Dubon will fill in at shortstop for Pena and bat second in the series finale in Arlington. According to Brian McTaggart of MLB.com, Pena was spotted fielding grounders prior to Monday's contest, so the 25-year-old is still seemingly being viewed as day-to-day and could avoid a stint on the injured list.

Anderson went 2-for-4 with a run scored, an RBI and a stolen base Sunday against the Athletics.

Anderson tallied his second multi-hit effort in his last four starts, though he's still hitting just .172 across his last 22 games. He's stolen only three bases and scored seven runs in that span, providing little fantasy appeal. Anderson has also still yet to go yard and has an abysmal .036 ISO across 263 plate appearances on the campaign.

Arcia went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's win over the Marlins.

The shortstop celebrated his All-Star berth -- he's one of a franchise-record eight Atlanta players named to the Midsummer Classic -- by swatting a Sandy Alcantara pitch over the wall in center field in the second inning. Arcia has slumped at the plate lately, going 4-for-41 (.098) over his last 10 games, but on the season he still sports a .296/.349/.439 slash line with seven homers, 28 RBI and 33 runs through 62 contests.

Duran is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Astros.

Duran appears to be receiving some routine maintenance for the matinee game after he started in left field or at designated hitter in each of Texas' last 15 contests. With Duran moving to the bench, the Rangers will have a spot open in the lineup at designated hitter for Josh Smith.

Manager Gabe Kapler said after Sunday's loss to the Mets that Crawford is dealing with a side injury, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Crawford appeared to sustain his injury while making a diving play in the eighth inning, but he was able to remain in the game. He went 1-for-4 with a walk and two strikeouts in the defeat. The 36-year-old will be re-evaluated Monday and should tentatively be considered day-to-day.
