Indians' Yu Chang: Drives in four
Chang went 2-for-4 with a home run, four RBI and two runs scored Thursday against the Orioles.
Chang went hitless in his first two at-bats, but he began his production with a two-RBI single in the sixth inning. Two frames later, he delivered a two-run home run for his second long ball of the season. This was also Chang's first multi-hit game since April 18. Chang has struggled with the bat considerably through 101 plate appearances, as he's hit only .179/.218/.305 on the campaign.

Xander Bogaerts SS | SD
Red Sox's Xander Bogaerts: Collects three doubles
Bogaerts went 3-for-5 with three doubles, two runs and an RBI in Wednesday's win over Atlanta.
Bogaerts went deep in two of his previous three games, but he did his damage with two-baggers Wednesday, collecting a trio of doubles for his 22nd multi-hit game of the season. The star shortstop's fifth-inning double was particularly important as it gave the Red Sox a temporary 5-3 lead. Bogaerts is tied for third in MLB with 20 doubles on the campaign while slashing an impressive .325/.387/.571 with 13 homers, 41 RBI and four stolen bases.

Adalberto Mondesi SS | BOS
Royals' Adalberto Mondesi: Homers in return
Mondesi (hamstring) went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 6-5 loss to Detroit.
The shortstop missed two weeks with a hamstring strain. In limited time this year, Mondesi has three homers, six RBI, three runs scored and a stolen base. The speedster will likely take on an everyday role going forward if he can stay healthy, which will leave Nicky Lopez and Hanser Alberto as bench options.

Tim Anderson 2B | LAA
White Sox's Tim Anderson: Red hot over last three games
Anderson went 3-for-4 with a stolen base Tuesday in the White Sox's 3-0 win over the Rays.
Anderson delivered his third multi-hit game in a row, with the 27-year-old going 8-for-13 with a pair of doubles, four runs and two RBI over that stretch. Thanks to the hot streak, Anderson has lifted his season-long batting average from .291 to .311. He'll look to keep the momentum going in Wednesday's series finale; he'll bat leadoff and start at shortstop.

With the Astros trailing 2-1 in the ninth inning and down to their final strike, Correa drove a Josh Sborz slider over the fence in right field to send the game to extras. The shortstop is slashing .348/.444/.674 through 11 games in June with four of his 12 homers on the season.

Bichette went 2-for-3 with a home run, a walk and three RBI during Tuesday's 6-5 loss to the Yankees.
Bichette clubbed a solo homer during the third inning and brought home two runs on a single during the following frame, but Toronto's offense was otherwise fairly quiet. The 23-year-old has a .284/.332/.500 slash line with 14 home runs, 14 doubles, nine stolen bases, 42 RBI and 57 runs through 65 games this season. He's also homered three times in his last four games.

Mondesi (hamstring) will start at shortstop and bat fifth in Wednesday's game against Detroit, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.
Mondesi was reinstated from the 10-day injured list ahead of Tuesday's game against the Tigers, but he didn't appear in the 4-3 loss. Prior to his second stint on the injured list, the 25-year-old hit .360 with two home runs, five RBI and a stolen base across seven games.

Mariners' J.P. Crawford: Tallies three hits in win
Crawford went 3-for-5 with a solo homer and two runs scored in Tuesday's 10-0 win over the Twins.
Crawford wasted no time getting the offense started as he took J.A. Happ deep to right field to lead off the bottom of the first. He also knocked a pair of singles and came around to score again in the fourth. The 26-year-old has really picked things up in June, slashing .393/.455/.625 with two homers, eight RBI, 10 runs scored, a stolen base and an 8:12 BB:K over 14 games.

Red Sox's Xander Bogaerts: Smacks 13th homer
Bogaerts went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk Tuesday against Atlanta.
Bogaerts went yard in the fifth inning to record his 13th homer of the season. He's gone on a bit of a power tear of late, as he's delivered three home runs and one double in his last six starts. For the season, Bogaerts is hitting .319/.383/.557 with 39 runs scored and 40 RBI across 264 plate appearances.
