  • Masyn Winn SS | STL

    Cardinals' Masyn Winn: Doubles among trio of knocks

    Winn went 3-for-4 with an RBI and a double in Wednesday's 8-2 loss to Washington.

    Winn collected at least three hits for the fifth time this season. The 23-year-old shortstop continues to bat second in St. Louis' lineup on a regular basis, which helps offer him plenty of fantasy upside at a premium position despite a fairly pedestrian campaign at the plate so far. Through 81 outings, Winn is hitting .260 with seven home runs, 31 RBI, 53 runs scored and four stolen bases covering 308 at-bats.

  • Carlos Correa SS | HOU

    Twins' Carlos Correa: Logs another multi-hit game

    Correa went 2-for-4 with a double and RBI in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Cubs.

    That's now four multi-hit games already this month for Correa, who's batting .308 over his first 26 at-bats of July. The veteran shortstop should continue to see plenty of RBI chances as long as he's hitting in the heart of Minnesota's lineup. Over his last 39 outings, Correa is slashing a respectable .290/.335/.448 with five home runs, eight doubles, 17 RBI and 21 runs scored covering 155 plate appearances.

  • Zack Short SS | HOU

    Astros' Zack Short: Back on bench

    Short is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Guardians.

    Short had started at shortstop in each of the past four games, going 4-for-13 with two doubles, one walk, three RBI and two runs. Mauricio Dubon will get the nod at shortstop Wednesday, but the Astros may have room for both players in the middle infield on a fairly consistent basis until Jeremy Pena (rib) returns from the 10-day injured list.

  • Jacob Wilson SS | ATH

    Athletics' Jacob Wilson: Sitting out Wednesday

    Wilson (hand) isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

    After taking a pitch off his left hand during Tuesday's win, Wilson will get an extra day off to recover from the injury. Max Muncy will fill the void at shortstop for the Athletics and bat sixth.

  • Ryan Ritter SS | COL

    Rockies' Ryan Ritter: Taking seat Wednesday

    Ritter is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox.

    Ritter will take a seat after he started in each of the previous three games while going 1-for-9 with two walks and a run scored. Orlando Arcia will step in for him at shortstop Wednesday, but both players are likely to see their opportunities dwindle once Ezequiel Tovar (oblique) returns from the injured list, perhaps as soon as this weekend.

  • Brewers' Andruw Monasterio: Retreating to bench Wednesday

    Monasterio is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers.

    Monasterio will head back to the bench after he went 2-for-11 with an RBI and a stolen base while starting in each of the Brewers' last three contests, twice in place of shortstop Joey Ortiz and once in place of third baseman Caleb Durbin. Though Durbin's absence from the lineup in Tuesday's 3-1 win appeared to be more of a rest day, Monasterio could make a push for more starts at shortstop if Ortiz is unable to break out of his extended slump at the dish. After going hitless in his return to the lineup Tuesday, Ortiz is now slashing .125/.200/.344 over his last 10 games.

  • Corey Seager SS | TEX

    Rangers' Corey Seager: Continues homer binge

    Seager went 2-for-3 with a walk, a solo home run and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 13-1 win over the Angels.

    Seager went deep for the second consecutive game with his solo shot in the sixth inning. It was the shortstop's 13th of the season and sixth in the last 11 contests. The two-hit night extended a hit streak to 13 games, during which he's 16-for-48 (.333) with nine extra-base hits, 12 walks, 12 RBI, one steal and 15 runs scored.

  • Brayan Rocchio SS | CLE

    Guardians' Brayan Rocchio: Swats homer in win

    Rocchio went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 10-6 extra-inning win over the Astros.

    Rocchio connected for his first homer of the season in the fourth inning, which gave the Guardians a 6-1 lead. The shortstop didn't do much initially after being recalled July 1, but he's gone 4-for-6 with two doubles, a home run and three RBI in two games to start the series against Houston. Rocchio will continue to get the majority of the starts at shortstop while Gabriel Arias (ankle) recovers on the 10-day injured list.

  • Ha-seong Kim 2B | ATL

    Rays' Ha-Seong Kim: One hit in return

    Kim went 1-for-4 on Tuesday against the Tigers.

    Kim made his season debut Friday but was out for the rest of the Rays' weekend series due to a calf issue. He returned Tuesday, playing shortstop and hitting fifth. Kim's lone hit was a single to lead off the second inning, but most importantly, he came out of the game healthy.

  • Jacob Wilson SS | ATH

    Athletics' Jacob Wilson: Managing bruised hand

    Wilson was diagnosed with a left hand contusion after getting hit by a pitch in the bottom of the first inning during Tuesday's 10-1 win over Atlanta, Jessica Kleinschmidt of Baseball America reports.

    Wilson was pulled from Tuesday's contest immediately after getting plunked, but he seems to have escaped with little more than a bruise on his hand after X-rays returned negative. The 23-year-old shortstop should be able to avoid a trip to the injured list, though the Athletics may still give him a day or two off to heal.
