Adames went 2-for-4 while scoring once and driving in a run in Sunday's win over the Orioles.

Adames has a multi-hit game in four of his past six contests and has raised his batting average from .241 to .266 since Aug. 20.

Lindor went 2-for-5 with his 34th home run of the season in a loss to Toronto on Sunday.

The homer was Lindor's fourth over his last seven games after going homerless over his previous 22 contests. He has just seven extra-base hits over his last 29 contests, most of which have come over this past week against Kansas City and Toronto pitching.

Gordon is not in the lineup Sunday against the Yankees, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.

Gordon will retreat to the bench to avoid a lefty-on-lefty matchup with New York starter CC Sabathia. Robinson Cano will slide over to second base to replace him, allowing Ryon Healy to make a start at first base.

Wendle is not in the lineup Sunday against the Orioles, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

The 28-year-old had started the team's previous 14 games, so it seems as if the Rays simply wanted to get their second baseman a day off. The fact that the Orioles are trotting out a left-handed starting pitcher could've factored into the decision as well, though Wendle actually holds a passable .717 OPS in 61 at-bats against southpaws this season. Wendle's retreat to the bench will allow Brandon Lowe to enter the starting lineup.

Correa went 1-for-5 with a double in Saturday's win over Boston.

Correa's second-inning double started a rally that erased Boston's early 1-0 lead. It was just his second extra-base hit since he was activated from the disabled list in mid-August. His weak production led to him being dropped to fifth in the batting order Saturday, the first time this season he's batted lower than fourth. The shortstop admitted to lingering soreness in his back, which has affected his swing and is a contributing factor to his .167 average (15-for-90) average over his last 25 games.

Mondesi went 2-or-5 with a double, two runs scored, an RBI and two stolen bases in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Twins.

The 23-year-old now has 20 steals in only 54 games for the Royals this season, giving him tremendous fantasy value to go along with a .270/.297/.443 slash line. Mondesi's second-half speed display should make him a very intriguing target in 2019 drafts.

Bogaerts went 3-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Saturday's loss to the Astros.

Bogaerts put the Red Sox up 1-0 with a run-scoring single in the first inning before adding a solo shot in the fifth inning. The shortstop has now homered in back-to-back games and has 21 long balls on the season, tying his career-best mark set in 2016 in 36 fewer games.

Correa indicated prior to Saturday's game against Boston that the back injury that cost him six weeks earlier this season is still bothering him, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Correa said, "sometimes waking up with my back tight again, sometimes feeling fine. It's just been hard to get in a rhythm." The 24-year-old seems frustrated but avoided pinning his struggles -- he's slashing .165/.250/.212 since being activated Aug. 10 -- on the lingering injury. It appears as though Correa plans to continue playing through the issue, but it certainly looks to be a situation worth monitoring over the final weeks of the regular season.

Adrianza went 3-for-4 with three RBI in the Twins' 10-6 win over the Royals on Friday.

Adrianza turned in a productive day at the dish while drawing his third straight start at third base in place of the injured Miguel Sano (lower leg). The Twins have cleared Sano of any structural damage to his leg, but it's uncertain when he'll be ready to return to the lineup. Adrianza should see regular at-bats until Sano is cleared to play again, but the 25-year-old's fantasy utility is weighted down by his lack of consistent impact in the power and speed departments.

Bogaerts went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Astros.

It was the shortstop's 20th home run of the year, but his first since a two-homer game Aug. 22. The RBI was his 90th, establishing a new career benchmark. Bogaerts now sports a .281/.353/.515 slash line on the season, and he's one HR shy of the career high he set in 2016.
