Lindor went 2-for-5 with two home runs and three RBI in Friday's 6-3 win over the Astros.

His third-inning solo shot off Collin McHugh got Cleveland on the board, and then Lindor supplied some insurance runs in the ninth with a two-run blast off Josh James. The shortstop is now slashing .259/.259/.593 with three homers in six games since his return from the injured list.

Anderson went 4-for-6 with a home run, a double, two RBI, three runs scored and a stolen base Friday night against the Tigers.

Anderson cut the deficit to four runs in the sixth with a double to left, and he walked it off in the bottom of the ninth with a solo homer to left. The 25-year-old has been clicking at the dish of late and now owns a seven-game hitting streak heading into Saturday's matchup.

Bichette will be sidelined 4-to-6 weeks but won't require surgery on his fractured left hand, Gregor Chisholm of MLB.com reports.

Bichette sustained the broken hand during Triple-A Buffalo's game on Monday as he was hit by a fastball up and in. The highly touted prospect still could make his major-league debut at some point this season, but is now likely sidelined through the end of May.

Urena was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo on Friday.

Urena was promoted from Buffalo on Sunday and went 2-for-8 in three appearances during his short stint with the team. The 22-year-old returns to Triple-A in order to make room on the 25-man roster for the promotion of top-prospect Vladimir Guerrero.

Wendle's broken wrist is expected to keep him out for 6-to-8 weeks, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Early estimations of Wendle's timetable had him out for three or four weeks, but the first indications from the team are that he'll be out longer than that. The given timeline is preliminary and could be updated, but for now, consider Wendle unlikely to return before early June.

Fletcher went 2-for-4 with a triple and five RBI as the Angels topped the Yankees, 11-5 on Thursday.

Fletcher doubled his RBI total from five to 10 with this performance, which included a three-run triple. He's not hitting for much power with only one home run, but the 24-year-old is off to a respectable start at the dish, slashing .301/.341/.410 over 83 at-bats.

Wendle (wrist) was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday, Josh Tolentino of The Athletic reports.

This was expected after Wendle was diagnosed with a fractured right wrist Wednesday, an injury he suffered after getting hit by a pitch. It's unclear how long the injury will keep the infielder sidelined at this point, though John Romano of the Tampa Bay Times estimates that Wendle will be unavailable for at least 3-to-4 weeks. Christian Arroyo was summoned from the minors in a corresponding move, while Brandon Lowe figures to cover the keystone while Wendle is on the shelf.

Mondesi went 3-for-5 with a three-run homer and four RBI in a 10-2 victory against the Rays on Wednesday.

The 23-year-old has showcased pop and power early this season. While the bomb Wednesday was just his fourth this year, it was his 13th extra-base hit. He's slashing .283/.308/.515 and has swiped seven bases with only one caught stealing. Mondesi also has 20 RBI and 13 runs in 99 at-bats.

Wendle was diagnosed with a right wrist fracture Wednesday, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Wendle exited Wednesday's game against the Royals after getting hit by a pitch during the sixth inning, and subsequent X-rays revealed he is dealing with a broken wrist. This is a tough break for the second baseman, who only recently returned from a hamstring injury. While Wendle is expected to land back on the injured list, the potential length of his absence remains unclear. Look for Brandon Lowe to cover the keystone in his absence.

Wendle went 1-for-4 with an RBI single in a win over the Royals on Tuesday, his first hit in three games since returning from a hamstring injury.

The versatile infielder had gone 0-for-9 in his first two games since coming off the injured list, and despite snapping that brief slump Tuesday, he's now hitting just .050 over a small sample of 22 plate appearances. Wendle slashed an impressive .300/.354/.435 last season over 545 trips to the plate.
