Wendle went 2-for-4 with two doubles and a run in a loss to the White Sox on Friday.

Wendle encouragingly showed some signs of life at the plate Friday, garnering the only multi-hit effort of the night for the Rays in the process. The 29-year-old continues to intermittently provide glimpses of the hitter he's been over the preceding pair of .300 seasons, but his average still disappointingly sits just below the Mendoza Line at .197.

Correa (ribs) is expected to be activated from the 60-day injured list when first eligible July 26, Jake Kaplan of The Athletic reports.

Correa began his rehab assignment at Triple-A Round Rock earlier this week and has gone 5-for-10 with a walk over his first three games while logging 12 total innings in the field at shortstop. He'll likely play a full game or two at Round Rock within the next several days in what would represent the final test to prove that the cracked rib that first sent him to the IL in late May is no longer a concern. The Astros already have a spot open on the 40-man roster for Correa after designating Tyler White for assignment following Friday's 4-3 win over the Rangers.

Adames is not in the lineup Friday against the White Sox.

Adames had eight hits in the first five games since the All-Star break but has since gone hitless in two straight contests. Joey Wendle takes over at shortstop in his absence.

Diaz (hamstring) will play with Double-A Corpus Christi Friday and Saturday before getting Sunday off. He could return from the injured list as soon as Monday, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Diaz began his rehab stint with Triple-A Round Rock on Monday, and he hasn't faced any issues to this point. Assuming Friday and Saturday go as planned, the Astros could consider activating from the shelf in time for Monday's clash with Oakland.

Bichette went 2-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI for Triple-A Buffalo on Wednesday.

It's the first two-homer game of the 21-year-old's career, but he's been on fire ever since he returned to action in early June from a broken left hand, slashing .353/.419/.583 through his last 35 games with six home runs, 12 steals, 23 RBI and 27 runs. Bichette would seem to have nothing left to prove in the International League, but he might have to wait for a trade to create a spot on the big-league roster before he gets the call -- assuming the Jays don't decide to buy themselves an extra year of team control by leaving him in the minors until next April, regardless of his performance.

Anderson (ankle) will be evaluated when the White Sox return to Chicago next Monday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Anderson, who is currently with the team on its road trip, has been out since June 25. The team expects to have a better sense of timing for his minor-league rehab assignment pending the results of the evaluation.

Mondesi was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left shoulder subluxation Wednesday.

Mondesi suffered the injury after diving for a foul ball in Tuesday's game against the White Sox. It's not yet clear when the Royals expect him to return. Humberto Arteaga was recalled from Triple-A Omaha in a corresponding move.

Adames, who went 3-for-4 with two doubles in a loss to the Yankees on Tuesday, is 8-for-22 with four doubles, an RBI, a stolen base and two runs in the five games he's suited up since the All-Star break.

Adames' pair of two-baggers Tuesday pushed his July tally to four, exactly a quarter of his doubles total for the season. The current hot stretch is helping resurrect Adames' key offensive numbers after he opened the month going 2-for-27 with 13 strikeouts across seven pre-All-Star-break contests.

Bogaerts went 3-for-4 with a home run, two RBI and a run scored Tuesday against the Blue Jays.

Bogaerts took Jacob Waguespack deep in the first inning for his 21st home run of the season. The effort also marked his fourth consecutive multi-hit game and extended his hitting streak to eight contests. Bogaerts is in the midst of a career-best season, hitting .312/.399/.575 across 411 plate appearances.

Mondesi will undergo an MRI on his left shoulder after leaving Tuesday's game versus the White Sox, Jeffrey Flanagan of MLB.com reports.

Mondesi sustained the injury when diving for a foul ball during the fifth inning, and the athletic trainer held Mondesi's left arm as he exited the field. Per Flanagan, teammate Hunter Dozier said Mondesi believed he suffered a dislocated left shoulder, but there won't be an official diagnosis until after the MRI.
