Bogaerts went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run, two runs and two walks in Boston's 10-5 win over Kansas City on Friday.

This was the second straight game with a homer for the young shortstop, bringing his slash line to .276/.345/.513 through 275 at-bats. His 14 long balls on the season are already past the 10 he hit last year, and the .513 slugging percentage would be a career high if he can keep it up. Bogaerts should continue to be a solid source of power and counting stats hitting in a loaded Red Sox lineup.

Adames went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 5-1 loss to the Mets.

His sixth-inning shot, Adames' third homer of the year, accounted for all the Rays' offense against Jacob deGrom. The shortstop hasn't set the world on fire through his first 23 big-league games, posting a .231/282/.372 slash line with a 6:31 BB:K.

Fletcher is out of Friday's lineup against the Dodgers, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

He had started the last seven games, hitting .269/.321/.346 with zero home runs and zero stolen bases over that stretch. Luis Valbuena will start at third base, hitting seventh.

Sardinas (ankle) was activated off the 60-day disabled list and outrighted to Triple-A Norfolk after clearing waivers.

Sardinas missed the first three months of the season with back and ankle injuries, and the Orioles opted not to bring him back onto the 40-man roster as he comes off the 60-day disabled list. The 25-year-old played four rehab games with Norfolk and will remain there for the foreseeable future.

Anderson (forearm) is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Astros.

Anderson was hit by a pitch late in Thursday's game and was feeling some soreness after the game, so he will take the day off Friday, although he'll be available off the bench if needed. Leury Garcia will take over at shortstop for the White Sox, while Anderson should still be considered day-to-day.

Gordon went 2-for-4 with an RBI single, a triple and a run in a win over the Angels on Thursday.

Gordon hit safely for the fourth consecutive game while lacing his third three-bagger of the season in the process. The speedy infielder hit a mediocre .248 in June, but factoring in Thursday's production, he's 5-for-16 with a steal so far in July.

Anderson is day-to-day with a sore forearm, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

Anderson was hit by a pitch in the eighth inning of Thursday's loss to the Astros and was reportedly dealing with some soreness after the game. With that, the White Sox will reevaluate their starting shortstop Friday before making a decision on whether to keep Anderson in the lineup or give him the day off. If Anderson is given the day off, Yolmer Sanchez could slide over to shortstop.

Manager A.J. Hinch said Thursday that Correa (back) is not expected to return from the 10-day DL this weekend against the White Sox, Julia Morales of AT&T SportsNet reports.

As expected, Correa will not be rushed back into action, as the 23-year-old has yet to resume baseball activities after landing on the shelf last Friday. With just seven games left before the All-Star break following the Astros' four-game set against Chicago weekend, it may be determined that the best course of action is to keep Correa out until the second half of the season.

Wendle went 2-for-2 with a walk in a loss to the Marlins on Wednesday.

Wendle was one of the few Rays to enjoy a productive day at the plate, extending what has been a strong start to July. Factoring in Wednesday's production, Wendle boasts a pair of multi-hit efforts over his three starts in the new month, going 5-for-11 (.455) during that span.

Mondesi is out of the lineup against the Indians on Wednesday, Maria Torres of the Kansas City Star reports.

Mondesi will hit the bench after going 2-for-4 with one run during Tuesday's contest. In his place, Alcides Escobar will man shortstop and bat eighth in the order.
