Correa went 2-for-4 with a walk and two RBI in Wednesday's 8-1 win over Oakland.

Correa has turned around a rough patch earlier this month and hit safely in five straight games (7-for-17). His average dipped to .239 on May 11, but the shortstop reversed that trend and is batting .264 with 14 extra-base hits and 21 RBI for the season.

Fletcher (groin) is playing second base and batting ninth in Wednesday's game against the Indians.

Fletcher has been out of action since May 15 with a groin issue. The brief absence may have come at a good time for Fletcher, who was 0-for-17 in his last four games before suffering the injury.

Wendle is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles, Adam Berry of MLB.com reports.

With a tough southpaw (John Means) on the hill for the opposition, Rays manager Kevin Cash has elected to give three key left-handed hitters in Wendle, Austin Meadows and Ji-Man Choi the day off. Wendle's move to the bench opens up third base for Mike Brosseau, who will bat ninth in the order.

Wendle went 3-for-5 with a triple and two runs in a win over the Orioles on Tuesday.

Wendle now has a combined seven hits over two of his last three games, leading to a quick 25-point boost in his batting average to .292. Wendle also garnered his first three-bagger of the season Tuesday and has now laced 17 of his 38 hits this season for extra bases, having also compiled 13 doubles and three home runs.

Fletcher (groin) is not in the lineup Tuesday against Cleveland, Daniel Guerrero of MLB.com reports.

Fletcher will be sidelined for the third straight game Tuesday after initially playing through the groin issue last week. The team previously indicated a trip to the injured list wasn't expected, though it's unclear whether that assessment has changed. Phil Gosselin will start at the keystone Tuesday in his absence.

Mondesi (oblique) has been transferred to Triple-A Omaha to continue his rehab assignment Tuesday, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

The move marks one step closer toward Mondesi's looming return to big-league action. The switch hitter likely would have been activated by now if not for his lefty swing being a bit behind in the rehab, but the move to Triple-A suggests Mondesi is swinging comfortably from both sides of the plate.

Fletcher (groin) remains on the bench Monday against Cleveland.

Fletcher dealt with the groin issue throughout last week but played through it for several games before sitting Sunday's game out. Playing through the injury didn't seem to be working, as he's gone hitless in four straight games. The Angels do believe he'll be able to avoid a trip to the injured list, per Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times. He'll remain on the bench Monday with Phil Gosselin getting the nod at second base.

Crawford went 1-for-3 with a two-run single and a walk in a win over Cleveland on Sunday.

The hot-hitting shortstop continued to demonstrate his season-long knack for timely hitting with his third-inning single, which drove in Mitch Haniger and Kyle Seager with the Mariners' second and third runs of the day. Crawford now has 14 RBI despite having hit out of the bottom third of the order in 32 of 41 games, with his .327 and .333 averages with men on base and men in scoring position, respectively, responsible for that figure.

Bichette went 2-for-5 with a home run, two RBI and two runs in Sunday's 10-8 win over the Phillies.

Marcus Semien and Bichette blasted back-to-back home runs to begin Sunday's high-scoring contest as the Blue Jays narrowly picked up the series win against Philadelphia. Bichette is slashing .275/.320/.494 with nine home runs, 33 runs and 25 RBI this season.

Adames went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run in Sunday's win over the Mets.

Adames extended his hitting streak to three games and has reached base at least twice in all three of those contests. He's leaving behind a woeful stretch between May 1 and May 12 during which he hit only .206 across 34 at-bats. He also launched his fifth homer of the campaign, and the power display has been noticeable of late. He has connected on three of his five home runs during the current month.
