Bregman went 2-for-4 with two runs scored and an RBI on Friday against the Athletics.

Bregman tallied his fourth multi-hit performance in his last 10 games, and he's also racked up eight RBI and 10 runs scored in that span. After a dreadful start to the season, he's hit .286 across his last 16 games. Bregman is striking out at only a 9.9 percent clip, so his average should continue to tick up as the campaign progresses.

Walls went 1-for-4 with a run scored and two stolen bases Friday against the Dodgers.

Walls continues to use his defensive versatility to remain a regular in the lineup. In the last 10 games, he's started once at shortstop, four times at third base and three times at second. Walls has been particularly aggressive on the basepaths across the last two games by swiping four bases. His 13 stolen bases are the primary source of his fantasy value, but Walls has also quietly amassed an .840 OPS as well as 27 runs scored across 41 games this season.

Moncada went 3-for-5 with a triple, three RBI and a run scored Friday against the Tigers.

Moncada snapped a four-game hitless streak with an RBI triple in the fifth inning. He chipped in an additional two knocks to tally his third multi-hit performance in 14 games since he returned from a back injury. Though it's been a limited sample due to the injury, Moncada has shown significant steps forward in limiting his strikeout rate (21.3 percent) while also hitting for power (.170 ISO) across 94 plate appearances this season.

Jung went 3-for-5 with a triple, one RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 12-2 win over Baltimore.

Jung continued a torrid stretch with a fourth consecutive multi-hit effort (9-for-17). Overall, he's hit safely in nine straight, going 15-for-34 (.441) with six extra-base hits, 10 RBI and nine runs during the streak.

Devers is not in the lineup Friday against the Diamondbacks.

This appears to be a planned night off for Devers, who has fallen into a bit of a slump but still boasts 13 homers and 44 RBI through 49 games on the year. Justin Turner is covering third base and batting third Friday versus the Diamondbacks and right-hander Brandon Pfaadt. Masataka Yoshida will take a turn as Boston's designated hitter.

Kreidler (knee) is beginning a rehab assignment with High-A West Michigan on Friday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Kreidler has been on the injured list at Triple-A Toledo all month because of a sore knee. He'll rejoin Toledo once he's deemed ready but could push to rejoin the major-league club later this season.

Urias is not in the starting lineup Friday versus the Rangers, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Although Urias was activated from the 10-day injured list Friday, he'll remain out of the lineup. He'll likely return to a starting role soon, but Ryan O'Hearn will handle the designated hitter spot and bat eighth in the series opener against Texas.

Paredes isn't starting Friday against the Dodgers, Kristie Ackert of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Friday marks the second consecutive game Paredes won't start despite having recorded a base hit in each of his last three games. Taylor Walls will get the nod at third base and bat sixth.

Urias was activated from the 10-day injured list by the Orioles on Friday.

Urias wound up missing about two-and-a-half weeks of action with a left hamstring strain. He reached base four times in a couple rehab games with High-A Aberdeen and should return to playing most days for the Orioles while bouncing between second base, third base and designated hitter.

Henderson went 1-for-2 with two walks, a stolen base and a run scored in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Yankees.

Henderson slumped early in May, but he's hit safely in 10 of his last 12 games, going 12-for-38 (.316) with six extra-base hits in that span. His steal Thursday was his second of the season -- he had 23 thefts across all levels last year, so there's more speed potential he can tap into. For the year, he's slashing .210/.347/.391 with five home runs, 11 RBI, 27 runs scored, six doubles and two triples across 167 plate appearances while seeing regular time between third base and shortstop.
