Fletcher went 3-for-5 with two RBI and two runs in the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader versus the Astros.

Fletcher hit leadoff in the first game of the twin bill and went 0-for-3, but he dropped to third in the order for the nightcap and produced his third three-hit effort in his last six games. Over that stretch, Fletcher has collected 11 hits in 27 at-bats (.407) while scoring six times and recording four RBI.

Bogaerts went 3-for-5 with a double and two runs scored in Tuesday's 9-7 win over the Blue Jays.

Five different Red Sox had multi-hit nights, but it was Bogaerts who led the hit parade. The 27-year-old is slashing a dynamic .355/.400/.613 over his last eight games with two homers, five runs and six RBI.

Lindor went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in a victory over Minnesota on Tuesday.

Lindor gave the team it would did not relinquish with a two-run shot to right field in the sixth inning. The blast was his fifth of the season and his first homer and RBI since Aug. 16. Lindor is slashing .254/.316/.426 on the season.

Crawford went 2-for-4 with a walk, a home run, three RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's win over the Padres.

Crawford had fallen ice cold after a hot start, managing just two hits in his last 33 at-bats entering play Tuesday. He drew a walk off Chris Paddack in his first plate appearance and then homered on a Paddack fastball the next inning, Crawford's first long ball of the season. He's still a work in progress at the plate, but the Mariners aren't going anywhere and have nothing to lose by giving Crawford everyday at-bats.

Mondesi went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Tuesday's win over the Cardinals.

It's been a colossal struggle at the plate for Mondesi so far this season -- he has a walk rate under two percent and entered this game with a 35 wRC+, the lowest mark among all qualified hitters. He's making up for those struggles to an extent in rotisserie leagues with seven bags in 11 attempts, but if Mondesi can't provide anything more with the bat, his playing time will eventually take a hit.

Bichette (knee) is progressing well and could begin baseball activities this weekend, Scott Mitchell of TSN.ca reports.

If he is hopeful to begin baseball activities this weekend, that likely rules out an August return, and it seems more likely we see him in early-to-mid September if all goes well. Santiago Espinal will continue to fill in for Bichette at shortstop for the time being.

Fletcher went 3-for-5 with an RBI single and a run scored in Monday's 11-4 loss to the Astros.

Fletcher plated Andrelton Simmons with an infield single in the third inning. In the fifth, Fletcher got aboard with another single and scored on Anthony Rendon's single. In his last six games, Fletcher has recorded four multi-hit efforts. He's produced 10 multi-hit games in 30 contests this year. He's slashing .317/.380/.460 with three homers, two stolen bases, 11 RBI and 20 runs scored.

Correa went 1-for-5 with a three-RBI double and a run scored in Monday's 11-4 win over the Angels.

Correa hit the bases-loaded double in the sixth inning to give the Astros a more comfortable lead. He then came around to score on a Kyle Tucker double to make it a 9-4 lead at the time. The 25-year-old Correa is slashing .295/.373/.438 with three homers, 19 RBI, 12 runs scored and six doubles in 29 contests.

Adames went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 6-4 loss to the Blue Jays.

Adames slugged a two-run homer to right field in the fourth inning, giving his club a 3-1 lead. In his third season of big-league action, the 24-year-old shortstop is slashing .295/.386/.534 with three home runs, 10 RBI and a stolen base through 28 games.

Wendle will start at second base and will bat sixth Monday against the Blue Jays, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Wendle has seemingly supplanted Hunter Renfroe as a mainstay in the Tampa Bay lineup against right-handed pitching. Brandon Lowe will shift to the right field while Renfroe sits for the second straight day, paving the way for Wendle to pick up another start at the keystone. Over his 58 plate appearances versus righties this season, Wendle is slashing .264/.328/.434 (111 wRC+).
