Fletcher went 2-for-6 with three RBI in in Thursday's win over the Blue Jays.

The 26-year old knocked in a pair of go-ahead runs with a single in extra innings. Fletcher looks to pick up on where he left off the past couple of seasons and can prove to be a reliable leadoff hitter for an explosive Angels offense, as he slashed .319/.376/.425 in 2020.

Anderson estimated Thursday that he's about 85 percent recovered from his left hamstring strain, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

Assuming Anderson's assessment of his injury aligns with the opinion of Chicago's team doctors, the shortstop could be in store for a minimum-lengthy stay on the 10-day injured list after he was deactivated Wednesday. He'll still have a few hurdles to clear in the recovery process before the White Sox reinstate him from the IL, including running the bases and playing the field with no visible limitations. As long as Anderson remains on the shelf, the White Sox will likely turn to Leury Garcia and Danny Mendick to fill in at shortstop.

Bogaerts isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Orioles, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

Bogaerts went 3-for-3 with two runs in Wednesday's win over the Rays and has had two multi-hit games in his last three appearances. However, Marwin Gonzalez will start at shortstop Thursday, batting sixth.

Bogaerts went 3-for-3 with an RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's win over the Rays.

Bogaerts got off to a slow start this season as he went 1-for-12 during Boston's opening series against Baltimore, but he has turned things around quickly and has posted two multi-hit games over his last three appearances since then. Bogaerts has only plated two runs and only has one extra-base hit in six games, but he seems to be turning things around and is now trending in the right direction. He's riding a three-game hitting streak.

Anderson has been placed on the 10-day injured list due to a left hamstring strain, retroactive to April 5.

Anderson has been sidelined since leaving Sunday's game against the Angels due to left hamstring tightness. The 27-year-old underwent an MRI on Monday that revealed a strain, and he'll miss additional time while he recovers. Leury Garcia should serve as the primary shortstop in his absence, and Danny Mendick was recalled from alternate camp in a corresponding move to serve as infield depth.

Bichette went 2-for-4 with a pair of solo home runs in Tuesday's loss to Texas.

Bichette kicked off the scoring in the contest with a 412-foot homer in the first inning off Dane Dunning, then capped Toronto's scoring in the contest with a blast to left field off Matt Bush in the eighth. The home runs were the first of the campaign for Bichette, who is slashing .250/.286/.600 through five games.

Correa went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer and a walk during Tuesday's win over the Angels.

Correa gave the Astros the lead for good with a two-run homer off Raisel Iglesias in the ninth inning. He also walked in the fourth. The long ball was the first of the year for the 26-year-old, who is batting .280 overall.

Diaz went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during Tuesday's victory over the Angels.

Diaz followed Kyle Tucker's lead, going back-to-back with a long ball against Dylan Bundy in the second inning to even up the score. It was the first homer of the season for the 30-year-old, who has been filling in for Michael Brantley (wrist) since he was hit by a pitch Saturday.

Wendle is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Red Sox, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

He is 3-for-11 with one home run, two strikeouts and zero walks through his first three games. Kevin Padlo will get the start at the hot corner with southpaw Martin Perez on the hill for Boston.

Crawford, who went 1-for-4 in a loss to the Giants on Monday, is hitting .154 (2-for-13) over his first four games.

The 26-year-old also has a walk and a run, but overall, his start to the 2021 campaign largely mirrors his forgettable Cactus League slate. Crawford hit just .128 (5-for-39) with no extra-base hits and three RBI across 52 plate appearances this spring, and although there'd been talk of the shortstop still seeing some leadoff duty this season, he's operated out of the No. 9 hole in his first three games while Mitch Haniger has thrived at the top of the order.
