  • Corey Seager SS | TEX

    Rangers' Corey Seager: Drives in three runs

    Seager went 2-for-4 with a three-run homer and a double in Tuesday's win over the Athletics.

    Seager broke the game open in the seventh with a three-run homer off Hogan Harris to put the Rangers up 6-1. Seager now has a 23-game on-base streak during which he's slashing .349/.462/.686 with seven homers, 21 RBI, 20 runs and a 16:21 BB:K. He's been a top-10 hitter in all of baseball in average, on-base, slugging and OPS over that span.

  • Carlos Correa SS | HOU

    Twins' Carlos Correa: Scores four times in win

    Correa went 2-for-3 with a double, two walks and four runs scored in Tuesday's 10-7 win over the Dodgers.

    Correa is 5-for-16 with seven walks over five games since the All-Star break. The shortstop was effective from the cleanup spot Tuesday, which was especially valuable since the Twins' top third of the order combined to go 2-for-15. Correa is at a .266/.319/.392 slash line on the year while adding seven home runs, 31 RBI, 40 runs scored, 19 doubles and no stolen bases across 88 contests.

  • Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo: Smacks three hits in loss

    Perdomo went 3-for-4 in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Astros.

    Perdomo is 9-for-20 (.450) over five games since the All-Star break, though just one of those knocks, a triple, has gone for extra bases. The shortstop has hit in the bottom third of the order in the first two games of this series versus Houston, though that is due to a pair of left-handed pitchers starting. That trend is likely to continue Wednesday when Brandon Walter is on the mound for the visiting Astros. Perdomo has been a steady bat in the lineup all year with a .275/.375/.420 slash line, 10 home runs, 72 RBI, 55 runs scored and 15 stolen bases across 101 games.

  • Dansby Swanson SS | CHC

    Cubs' Dansby Swanson: Tallies two hits, stolen base

    Swanson went 2-for-4 with a run scored in Tuesday's 6-0 win over the Royals. He also stole a base.

    Chicago ran wild with seven stolen bases in the shutout win, and Swanson chipped in with his eighth of the season in 11 attempts. The shortstop swiped 19 bases last year, and he's been in double digits four times in his MLB career. Swanson also has 16 home runs this season, giving him well-rounded fantasy value from a premium position.

  • Luis Vazquez SS | BAL

    Orioles' Luis Vazquez: Sent back to Triple-A

    The Orioles optioned Vazquez to Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

    Vazquez was optioned in a corresponding move with Dylan Carlson's promotion from Triple-A Norfolk prior to Tuesday night's game. Vazquez appeared in three games after his promotion July 10 but didn't reach safely in any of the four plate appearances he logged.

  • Ha-seong Kim 2B | ATL

    Rays' Ha-Seong Kim: Remaining out Tuesday

    Kim (back) isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the White Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Kim departed Monday's game early due to lower-back tightness, and he'll take an additional day off Tuesday to recover. Taylor Walls will fill in at shortstop, opening up second base for Jose Caballero.

  • Javier Baez SS | DET

    Tigers' Javier Baez: Returning to starting nine

    Baez (shoulder) will start at shortstop and bat eighth in Tuesday's game against the Pirates.

    Baez sat out Monday's 3-0 loss to Pittsburgh following a flareup of his left shoulder injury Sunday, but he's ready to go Tuesday after receiving some treatment. The 32-year-old is slashing only .180/.196/.260 across his last 15 tilts.

  • Conrad Cason SS | BOS

    Red Sox's Conrad Cason: Still missing in action

    Cason hasn't made an appearance in the rookie-level Florida Complex League since May 3 due to right arm fatigue, Geoff Pontes of Baseball America reports.

    The two-way player wasn't throwing at the time Pontes issued his report in early June, although Cason had begun hitting. Cason probably has more realistic upside as a right-handed pitcher than as a shortstop at this stage of his development. The 18-year-old struck out five while issuing one walk over two no-hit innings in his one appearance on the mound and went 1-for-4 with an RBI single and two strikeouts in his two games as a hitter.

  • Gabriel Arias SS | CLE

    Guardians' Gabriel Arias: Should return soon

    Guardians manager Stephen Vogt said Monday that Arias (ankle) should be back "pretty soon," if all continues to go well, MLB.com reports.

    Arias began a rehab assignment at Triple-A Columbus on Friday and played another game Sunday before the Clippers had Monday off. He started at shortstop in both but has yet to play a full game.

  • Chase Meidroth SS | CHW

    White Sox's Chase Meidroth: Career night in victory

    Meidroth went 4-for-5 with three doubles and a run scored in Monday's 8-3 win at Tampa Bay.

    The Chicago rookie notched four hits for the first time in the big leagues while also securing his first game with multiple extra-base hits. With this performance, Meidroth raised his batting average from .241 to .251 to go with 11 doubles, 11 steals, 31 runs scored and 12 RBI across 316 total plate appearances. The 23-year-old should continue to play a prominent role in the White Sox lineup as the starting shortstop when healthy.
