Mondesi went 2-for-4 with a walk, a stolen base, a home run and four RBI in Tuesday's win over the Twins.

Mondesi slugged a three-run homer -- his second of the year -- off starter Aaron Slegers in the second inning, and later got an RBI single in the sixth. Since being called up June 17, Mondesi is hitting .230/.254/.393 with 10 RBI, 11 runs and five stolen bases in 61 at-bats. In three of his last six games the 22-year-old has had multi-hit performances.

Correa (back) fielded groundballs from a stationary stance on the field before Monday's game, Christian Boutwell of MLB.com reports.

While it was a minor achievement, this marks the first baseball activities for Correa since he landed on the disabled list. He is still not swinging a bat or moving in the field or on the bases, so there is no expectation that he will be back until sometime after the All-Star break.

Wendle went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, two walks and two runs in a win over the Mets on Sunday.

Wendle slugged the last of three round trippers for the Rays, launching an eighth-inning solo blast off reliever Paul Sewald. The versatile infielder has thrived in his brief opportunities filling the leadoff spot this season, as he's now hitting .385 (6-for-13) with Sunday's homer, two RBI, three walks and six runs from the top of the order.

Adames (illness) is starting at second base and hitting ninth Monday against the Tigers, Steve Carney of Sports Radio 620 WDAE reports.

He missed a couple games over the weekend with an illness, but is healthy enough to return. Adames is hitting .242/.301/.364 with two home runs and one stolen base in his last 20 games (66 at-bats).

Gordon (back) went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored Sunday in the Mariners' 6-4 win over the Rockies.

Gordon was back in the leadoff spot one day after the back injury confined him to the bench. Given that Gordon played the field all nine innings and turned in a quality showing at the plate, fantasy owners should have no reservations about keeping him active in the final week before the All-Star break.

Correa (back) has not participated in baseball activities since being placed on the 10-day disabled list, Hunter Atkins of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Manager A.J. Hinch said Correa hasn't progressed as fast as the Astros were hoping and are taking it day-to-day. The manager hasn't ruled out a return before the All-Star break, but that can't be considered until Correa is able to starting hitting, throwing and taking grounders.

Adrianza (hamstring) is expected to return from the 10-day disabled list when first eligible Thursday against the Rays, Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Adrianza hit the DL with the left hamstring strain July 2, the same date Jorge Polanco was reinstated from an 80-game suspension. Polanco has since taken over as the Twins' everyday shortstop, so Adrianza will probably have to settle for a utility role once activated. Adrianza has logged time at all four infield spots this season and is capable of manning left field if needed.

Gordon (back) will bat leadoff and start at second base in Sunday's series finale against the Rockies.

Gordon left Friday's game due to a back injury and was held out Saturday as a precaution, but will return to his regular role for the series finale. The infielder opened the month of July on a five-game hitting streak, but owns just a .560 OPS since June 1.

Adames (illness) is out of the lineup Sunday against the Mets, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Adames was scratched from the lineup ahead of Saturday's contest and is apparently still under the weather a day later. The rookie's absence will allow Adeiny Hechavarria to pick up a second consecutive start at shortstop.

Diaz is out of the lineup Sunday against the Yankees.

Manager John Gibbons' decision to open up an everyday role in the middle infield for Lourdes Gurriel has proven detrimental to Diaz and Devon Travis, who have received more frequent benchings to accommodate the rookie. Diaz will sit for the second time in four games after hitting his eighth home run of the season Saturday in the Blue Jays' 8-5 loss.
