Adames went 1-for-4 with a run in a win over the Yankees on Monday.

Adames was recalled from Triple-A Durham prior to Sunday's series finale against the Marlins, going 0-for-3 with a walk in that contest. The 22-year-old is currently filling in at his customary shortstop spot with Adeiny Hechavarria nursing an oblique injury, but he also slotted in at second base for multiple games in his first stint with the Rays this season when manager Kevin Cash opted to get both him and Hechavarria in the lineup.

Herrera went 3-for-5 with a double and run scored Monday against the Tigers.

Herrera recorded his third three-hit game of the season and first extra-base hit since July 3. He has struggled to hit for any type of power -- he has no home runs and just a .343 slugging percentage through 102 at-bats -- but has recorded at least one hit in eight of his last 10 appearances. He appears poised to hang onto the everyday role in center field, though the addition of Brian Goodwin does add more competition to remain in the lineup.

Manager Ned Yost said Mondesi will likely return from the Family Medical Emergency List prior to Tuesday's game, Rustin Dodd of The Athletic reports.

Mondesi was placed on emergency leave prior to Friday's series opener against Minnesota, but it appears as though he's nearing a return to the active roster as the team begins a three-game set versus Detroit on Monday. Across 21 games with the Royals this year, he's slashed .250/.270/.444 with 11 RBI and five stolen bases.

Diaz is not in the starting lineup versus Minnesota on Monday, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Diaz went 0-for-3 during Sunday's series finale against Baltimore after picking up six hits during the first two games of the series. He will get a day off while Lourdes Gurriel draws a start at shortstop for Monday's tilt.

Anderson went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 8-2 loss to Seattle.

The White Sox were no-hit through 5.2 innings before Adam Engel's infield single preceded Anderson's 14th homer of the season. He had began the year with 11 homers over the first 50 games, but Anderson's pace has fallen to just three long balls over his last 45. Still, the 25-year-old shortstop, who has stolen 21 bases, is threatening to post his first 20-20 season.

Correa (back) has begun playing catch and running, but has not been cleared to swing a bat, Austin Laymance of the Houston Chronicle reports.

For the first time we're learning that Correa suffered a setback over the All-Star break when the injured shortstop felt discomfort swinging a bat. Manager A.J. Hinch said there is no timetable for that to happen. "We're just progressing him slowly," Hinch said. "He's pain free. He's doing better. It's just a slow process to get him back to doing more hitting and fielding." The Astros aren't expecting Correa back in the majors for at least two weeks, a period of time that will include a rehabilitation stint.

Fletcher went 3-for-5 with two runs and two RBI to help the Angels to a 14-5 romp over Houston on Friday.

It was the second straight multi-hit game for the 24-year-old, who managed to play a part in four of the Angels' 14 runs on the day hitting out of the nine spot in the order. He's hitting .273 over his 88 at-bats this season, but he hasn't provided enough power between his one home run and .364 slugging percentage to have made much of a fantasy impact in his brief time at the big-league level so far.

Correa (back) played catch and participated in baserunning drills Saturday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

The Astros are surely encouraged by Correa incorporating baseball activities into his rehab regimen, but manager A.J. Hinch suggested that the star shortstop is still at least a couple weeks away from returning to action. In addition to stepping up the intensity of his running program, Correa will need to ramp up his hitting and fielding in workouts and then complete a minor-league rehab assignment before an activation date will come into focus. Marwin Gonzalez and Alex Bregman will continue to see most of the action at shortstop until Correa is deemed fully healthy.

Urena was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo on Sunday, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Urena did not see an at-bat for the Blue Jays in his most recent stint in the majors -- one which lasted less than two full days. With Lourdes Gurriel (concussion) back from the disabled list, the team's middle infield needs were adequately met, making Urena's spot on the active roster expendable.

Adames was recalled from Triple-A Durham on Sunday.

Adames will take the roster spot of outfielder Justin Williams, who was sent packing to Triple-A in a corresponding move. In his first game back, he'll start at shortstop and bat eighth in the order. Adames has appeared in 26 games for the Rays in 2018, but was sent down to Durham prior to the All-Star break in order to see regular at-bats. Now back with the Rays, he'll look to improve upon a .604 season-long OPS.
