Wendle was recalled from Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday.

A shoulder injury delayed Wendle at the start of the season and he went on to post an underwhelming .285/.327/.429 line with Nashville. The 27-year-old can help out all around the infield, but he's not a key part of the club's long-term plans and thus probably won't be given much of a look in the weeks ahead.

Bogaerts, who has sat out the last three games, could return to the lineup Monday against Toronto, according to manager John Farrell, Chad Jennings of the Boston Herald reports.

Farrell mentioned Bogaerts being "banged up" and cited a litany of minor ailments while also acknowledging the three-game break was about giving him a break after a two-month slump -- a downturn that can be traced back to when he was hit by a pitch on the hand July 6. Monday is a good spot for Bogaerts, as the Red Sox will be facing a left-hander (J.A. Happ) in the series opener against the Blue Jays. He has an .820 career OPS against southpaws.

Correa went 1-for-3 with an RBI single a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 8-6 win over the Mets.

This was Correa's first game back since tearing a ligament in his left thumb July 17. Hand injuries can be tricky to return from, so we'll have to watch to see if he experiences any problems with swing mechanics or a drop-off in power.

Lindor went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, two RBI and a walk in Sunday's 11-1 crushing of the Tigers.

The shortstop's sixth-inning blast pushed his career-high total to 26 on the year. Lindor has 12 home runs through 200 second-half at-bats, compared to 14 blasts in 349 at-bats prior to the break. His OPS has jumped 50 points since the Midsummer Classic, and the 23-year-old is showing no signs of slowing down in the campaign's final month. He's hit safely in nine of his last 10 games while popping a deep fly in seven of his last 14 contests.

Anderson went 3-for-4 with a double, a solo home run, three RBI and two runs scored during Sunday's win over Tampa Bay.

With a .243/.262/.395 slash line for the campaign, Anderson's fantasy value is limited to deep settings. However, Sunday's blast was his 15th of the campaign, and the White Sox are going to be rolling out an impressive collection of young talents sooner than later, so his long-term outlook remains favorable.

Bogaerts is out of the lineup Sunday against the Yankees, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

With Bogaerts struggling to produce since returning from a hand injury, manager John Farrell will keep the shortstop on the bench for a third straight game in favor of Eduardo Nunez. It doesn't sound as though Farrell plans to proceed with Nunez as his primary option at the position, so Bogaerts' string of absences may be designed to give him more time to heal up and refine his approach in batting practice. That being said, with Bogaerts' playing-time outlook uncertain heading into the coming week, it may be tough to justify activating him in most shallow leagues.

Correa (thumb), who was activated from the 10-day disabled list earlier Sunday, will start at shortstop and bat fourth in the Astros' series finale with the Mets.

As expected, manager A.J. Hinch will waste no time ushering the superstar back into the lineup, allowing the Astros to give a breather to utility man Marwin Gonzalez. Correa batted .292 during his six-game rehab assignment, so fantasy owners probably shouldn't have many reservations of activating the shortstop heading into the upcoming week.

The Astros activated Correa (thumb) from the 10-day disabled list Sunday, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Houston has yet to unveil its lineup for the series finale against the Mets, but it's expected to feature Correa at shortstop with the 22-year-old having fully recovered from the torn thumb ligament that sidelined him for a month and a half. Correa's return means that Marwin Gonzalez will likely see most of his action in the outfield going forward, which could translate to fewer at-bats for the likes of Jake Marisnick, Cameron Maybin and Derek Fisher.

O'Malley was designated for assignment on Saturday.

The Mariners needed to clear a spot on the 40-man roster for Gordon Beckham, whose contract was selected as a corresponding move. O'Malley is hitting .205/.250/.282 with one home run in 84 plate appearances with Tacoma.

Featherston cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Durham, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

He was designated for assignment Monday, and will spend the rest of the year at Durham. Featherston has a career .160/.221/.256 slash line in 244 plate appearances in the big leagues.
