Carlos Correa SS | HOU
Twins' Carlos Correa: Not in Wednesday's lineup
Correa (illness) is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox.
Correa exited Tuesday's 8-5 loss after feeling lightheaded, although it's unclear if that's the reason for his absence from Wednesday's lineup. He is also rumored to be drawing trade interest from the Astros as Thursday's deadline approaches, per Bob Nightengale of USA Today. Brooks Lee will start at shortstop and bat second in Wednesday's series finale.

Anthony Volpe SS | NYY
Yankees' Anthony Volpe: Hits long home run
Volpe went 2-for-4 with a solo homer, a steal, two RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's win over the Rays.
Volpe launched a 452-foot homer to right-center field in the eighth to put the Yankees up 7-4. It was his fifth home run since coming back from the All-Star break, and he's now up to 15 for the year. Outside of his home run balls, Volpe has just one other extra-base hit in July and is hitting .174 with a .191 on-base percentage this month.

Gunnar Henderson 3B | BAL
Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Big day in twin bill
Henderson went 4-for-8 with a walk, a double, a home run, four runs scored and four RBI across both games of Tuesday's doubleheader sweep of the Blue Jays.
Most of the shortstop's production came in a 16-4 rout during the matinee, including Henderson's 12th homer of the season -- a three-run shot off Chad Green in the seventh inning. The blast snapped a 15-game power drought for Henderson, but he's hardly been invisible during that stretch. Through 24 contests in July, the 24-year-old is slashing .306/.368/.518 with 13 of his 16 hits going for extra bases (10 doubles, a triple and two home runs) along with five steals, 13 RBI and 16 runs.

Willy Adames SS | SF
Giants' Willy Adames: Homers for lone run in loss
Adames went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Pirates.
Adames continued his hot second-half hitting -- he's now 16-for-41 (.390) with four homers and nine RBI since the All-Star break. His long ball Tuesday was one of just two base hits for the Giants in this low-scoring loss. Adames is up to 16 homers, 57 RBI, 64 runs scored, four stolen bases and a .238/.325/.415 slash line across 107 contests. He's been batting third or fourth frequently since the break after hitting lower in the order at the tail end of June.

Trevor Story SS | BOS
Red Sox's Trevor Story: Goes deep, drives in three
Story went 2-for-5 with a home run, a double, three RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's win over Minnesota.
Story knocked a two-run homer in the third inning before tacking on an RBI double in the ninth. He snapped a 15-game homerless drought, during which he posted an unsightly .523 OPS. The veteran shortstop is up to 16 home runs this season, tying his best output since he joined the Red Sox prior to the 2022 campaign. Story is slashing .247/.287/.405 with 64 RBI and has hit .283 (53-for-187) since the start of June.

Carlos Correa SS | HOU
Twins' Carlos Correa: Exits early Tuesday
Correa was removed from Tuesday's game against the Red Sox due to lightheadedness, Audra Martin of FanDuel Sports Network North reports.
Correa initially remained in the game after getting looked at by a trainer following his first-inning single, but he didn't feel any better after a few minutes and was removed from the game in the third. Fantasy managers can consider the 30-year-old shortstop day-to-day for the time being.

Isiah Kiner-Falefa 2B | TOR
Pirates' Isiah Kiner-Falefa: Not starting Tuesday
Kiner-Falefa isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Giants.
Kiner-Falefa will get a chance to rest his legs after driving in two RBI and scoring during Monday's contest. His absence will allow Liover Peguero to pick up a start at shortstop while batting ninth.

Corey Seager SS | TEX
Rangers' Corey Seager: Resting Tuesday
Seager is not in the Rangers' lineup Tuesday against the Angels.
Seager is getting his first day off since June 23. In the 28 games he has played in since then, he has slashed an astounding .330/.462/.650 with eight home runs and a 24:23 K:BB across 130 plate appearances. The shortstop had a .711 OPS prior to June 23 but has increased it by 152 points starting then. With the 31-year-old resting on the bench Tuesday, Ezequiel Duran enters the lineup at first base as Josh Smith moves over to shortstop.

Max Schuemann 2B | NYY
Athletics' Max Schuemann: Taking seat Tuesday
Schuemann isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mariners.
Schuemann is expected to receive regular action at shortstop with Jacob Wilson (forearm) now on the injured list, but the A's will give the former a day off Tuesday following his 0-for-4 performance Monday. Darell Hernaiz will fill in at short and bat ninth.

Jacob Wilson SS | ATH
Athletics' Jacob Wilson: Placed on injured list
The Athletics placed Wilson on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a fractured left forearm, retroactive to Saturday.
Wilson sat out the Athletics' last three games due to what was initially described as a bruised hand that he had been playing through since getting hit by a pitch before the All-Star break. Now that his injury has been revealed to be a forearm fracture, he'll land on the IL and receive time to recover properly. Darell Hernaiz was recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas in a corresponding move to replenish the big club's infield depth, though Max Schuemann projects as the likely choice to take over as the Athletics' primary shortstop.
