Bogaerts went 3-for-3 with a double, a walk, a home run and three RBI in Thursday's 8-1 win over Oakland.

Boston's bats slumbered over the previous three games, and Bogaerts was no exception, going 1-for-9 during the team's three-game losing skid. Making a rare start at DH, Bogaerts put the Red Sox ahead early with a two-run homer in the first inning. Despite the recent downturn, the 28-year-old shortstop is enjoying the finest season of his career. He's slashing .348/.406/.603 with eight home runs and 23 RBI over 37 games.

Diaz started at first base in place of Yuli Gurriel (illness) and went 2-for-4 with a walk and a run scored in Thursday's 4-3 extra-innings win over the Rangers.

Gurriel was removed from Wednesday's game when he suddenly felt sick and got a full day off to recover. Diaz has been a jack of all trades in Houston's lineup, making his third appearance at first base Thursday.

Anderson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in a 4-2 win over the Twins on Thursday.

Anderson went yard off Michael Pineda to lead off the game. The 28-year-old leads the White Sox in runs scored (22) and stolen bases (six). Anderson is an elite hitter who provides power, average and speed. He has three multi-hit games in a row and is riding an eight-game hitting streak.

Mondesi (oblique) said he wants more at-bats from the left side of the plate before making his season debut, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

Mondesi spoke to reporters after the first game of a rehab assignment Thursday. He elaborated that he felt good in the field and swinging from the right side of the plate, but he needs additional at-bats as a lefty to ensure that he is completely healthy. He remains without a formal timetable to return.

Bichette went 2-for-5 with two doubles, three RBI, two runs and a strikeout in Thursday's 8-4 win over Atlanta.

Bichette drove in a run in the top of the fifth inning and sparked a four-run rally in the ninth inning to lead the Blue Jays to the win. Bichette is now slashing .277/.321/.493 with eight home runs, 31 runs and 23 RBI this year.

Adames isn't starting Thursday's game against the Yankees, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

Adames had gone hitless with five strikeouts in six at-bats across his last two games. Joey Wendle will shift to shortstop while Mike Brosseau starts at third base.

Correa went 3-for-3 with a walk and two runs scored in Wednesday's 9-1 win over the Angels.

Lost amid the five home runs Houston pummeled was Correa's three-single performance, which could ignite the slumping shortstop. He entered the game fighting a 2-for-35 stretch over the first nine games of May.

Mondesi (oblique) will begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Northwest Arkansas on Thursday.

The 25-year-old has been sidelined since the start of the season with a strained right oblique, but the rehab assignment indicates he's close to joining the Royals. It's unclear how many games Mondesi will require in the minors before being activated, but he could rejoin the team within the next week or two if all goes well.

Fletcher isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Astros.

Fletcher will get a breather after he went 0-for-9 with two strikeouts in the last two games. Jose Rojas will start at second base while Phil Gosselin takes over at the hot corner.

Diaz started at third base and went 1-for-4 in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Angels.

Diaz took over the hot corner for Alex Bregman, who was given the day off. His playing time dried up when a bunch of teammates returned to action after spending time in COVID-19 protocols. His start Tuesday was just the third in the last 10 games. For now, his value is tied to his versatility, as he's played all four infield positions and the two corner outfield slots.
