Crawford went 3-for-5 with a home run, a double and two RBI in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Athletics.

Crawford went deep off Sergio Romo in the ninth inning, extending Seattle's lead to three runs. In addition, he drove in Dylan Moore in the fourth frame. Over his last 20 games, he is slashing .321/.404/.494 with 12 RBI and 16 runs. On the season, the 26-year-old is slashing .269/.334/.374 with nine long balls, 50 RBI and 82 runs scored in 635 plate appearances.

Bogaerts went 2-for-3 with a home run and four RBI on Tuesday against the Mets.

Bogaerts paced Boston's offense, accounting for four of the team's six runs scored. He launched his 23rd home run of the season and also drove in two with a single later in the game. Bogaerts has now recorded five multi-hit efforts in his last 10 starts. For the season, he's maintained a .303/.373/.515 line across 561 plate appearances.

Chang went 1-for-3 with a three-run triple during Tuesday's win over the Royals.

Chang gave Cleveland an early lead with a one-out, bases-clearing triple against Daniel Lynch in the first inning. In his last four games, Chang has contributed a double, a triple and a home run. He is expected to see regular playing time against left-handed pitching over the final two weeks of the season.

Correa went 4-for-5 with a double, two runs and an RBI in Monday's 10-0 win over the Angels.

Correa has thrived as a run producer over the past week of games, providing five extra-base hits (two home runs, three doubles) while driving in 11 over a seven-game stretch. With 86 RBI on the campaign, Correa will have an outside chance during the final two weeks of the season at reaching the career-high total (96) he established in 2016.

Crawford went 2-for-4 with a double and a run in a win over the Athletics on Monday.

Crawford produced his first multi-hit effort since Sept. 13 in the narrow victory, snapping out of a 3-for-19 funk that had encompassed his previous five games in the process. The 26-year-old is now up to a career-high 40 extra-base hits with Monday's two-bagger, part of a solid season that also has seen Crawford produce a career-best .266 average entering Tuesday's action.

Wendle went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and two runs scored in Monday's 6-4 win over the Blue Jays.

Wendle's only hit of the night came late in the game when he led off the bottom of the eighth with a solo home run to right. The long ball was just his fourth since June 9 and his 11th of the year. The 31-year-old has maintained his solid plate prowess throughout the year, slashing .271/.324/.434 with 44 extra-base hits, 52 RBI, 69 runs scored, seven steals and 25:100 BB:K over 469 plate appearances.

Anderson started at shortstop and went 1-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Monday's 4-3 loss to Detroit.

Anderson, who was recently reinstated from the injured list, played on back-to-back days for the second time since returning from a hamstring injury. The White Sox's original plan was to use him every other day initially, but it appears those plans have been scrapped. Anderson has hit safely in all five games since coming back, going 6-for-22 with a double and five runs scored.

Mondesi will sit for the second half of Monday's doubleheader against Cleveland, Joel Goldberg of Bally Sports Kansas City reports.

Mondesi went 1-for-3 and scored a run in the afternoon contest. The Royals have been very careful not to overwork him down the stretch, so it's no surprise to see that he won't be asked to start twice in one day. Hanser Alberto will take over at third base.

Manager Kevin Cash said Franco (hamstring) could return from the 10-day injured list Friday ahead of the Rays' series opener with the Marlins, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

Franco is slated to report to Triple-A Durham for a workout Tuesday before entering the Bulls' lineup Wednesday and Thursday. If Franco's strained right hamstring checks out fine following the back-to-back appearances, the Rays likely won't have much hesitation about activating him for the weekend. Before landing on the shelf, Franco pieced together a 39-game on-base streak, during which he hit .325 with 20 extra-base hits, 37 runs and 26 RBI.

Chang is out of the lineup for the first game of Monday's doubleheader with the Royals.

After starting in four of the past five games while going 5-for-19 with a home run and a double, Chang will cede his spot in the Cleveland infield to Owen Miller. Chang should continue to play regularly versus left-handed pitching over the final two weeks of the season, but his path to steady at-bats versus right-handers will become more muddled when or if Amed Rosario (personal) returns from the bereavement list.
