Adames, who hit his sixth home run as part of a 2-for-4 effort for Triple-A Durham on Monday, is now hitting .364 over his last 30 games, Mike Rosenbaum of MLB.com reports.

The 21-year-old shortstop entered June with a sluggish .230/.309/.344 line but his subsequent offensive outburst, which includes 13 extra-base hits in his last 30 games, has his average up to .280. Adames has five multi-hit efforts in the last 10 games, although his 24 percent strikeout rate on the season has room for improvement. Adames' overall progress is encouraging, however, as he certainly seems to be hitting his stride in what is his first exposure to Triple-A arms. Notably, the shortstop position at the big-league level remains in flux at the moment, as Matt Duffy's heel issues continue to keep his long-term outlook murky.

Adrianza (abdomen) was activated from the disabled list following Monday's game, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Adrianza has been ready to go, but the club decided to keep an extra reliever for Monday's series opener against the Angels. He has just 63 plate appearances in 26 games this year and will likely be used in a similarly sparse utility role going forward.

Manager Paul Molitor said Adrianza (abdomen) will be activated from the 10-day disabled list Tuesday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

While there was a possibility that Adrianza would return Monday, the Twins opted to keep an extra reliever on hand for their series opener against the Angels instead. The 27-year-old should return to his role as a little-used utility infielder upon his return.

Manager John Farrell said there's a "good chance" Bogaerts (groin) returns to the lineup Tuesday, Tim Britton of The Providence Journal reports.

This is good news for Bogaerts, who is set to miss his second straight game with a tight groin. "We're confident it's not a long term thing," Farrell said about the injury, indicating that Bogaerts likely won't be out long even if he is unable to return to the lineup Tuesday. Tzu-Wei Lin will continue to serve as the Red Sox's shortstop while Bogaerts remains out.

Bogaerts (groin) is not in the lineup Monday against the Rangers, Evan Drellich of CSN New England reports.

Bogaerts was a late scratch from Sunday's contest with a tight groin, and it appears the ailment is still bothering him enough to keep him out for a second straight game. He'll remain day-to-day for now; Tzu-Wei Lin will draw another start at shortstop in his place.

Correa went 4-for-5 with two doubles and three RBI in Sunday's 8-1 win over the Yankees.

Correa extended his hitting streak to 12 games while delivering two of his team's nine extra-base hits in this one. With 11 runs scored and 15 more driven in during those 12 contests, Correa has certainly made the most of the opportunities presented by batting in the heart of baseball's second most potent lineup. It's scary to think that the 22-year-old shortstop likely still hasn't hit his ceiling with this season's .319/.394/.554 line.

Adrianza (abdomen) could come off the 10-day disabled list as soon as Monday, Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

The Twins will wait and see what they have on hand in terms of available pitchers for Monday's series opener against the Angels before determining if they can get away with carrying one less reliever to accommodate Adrianza's return. The utility infielder played in both ends of a doubleheader at Triple-A Rochester on Saturday and has gone 1-for-10 at the dish during his rehab assignment.

Bogaerts was scratched from the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays due to right groin tightness, Brian MacPherson of the Providence Journal reports.

Bogaerts was having difficultly getting stretched out prior to the game, and after consulting with team trainers and manager John Farrell, it was decided that the 24-year-old would require a day off. Tzu-Wei Lin will move over to shortstop in place of Bogaerts, while Deven Marrero enters the lineup at third base. The Red Sox should provide another update on Bogaerts' condition before the team continues its road trip in Texas on Monday.

Tejada will start at shortstop and bat eighth Sunday against the Rays.

It appeared Tejada had ceded the starting shortstop job to Paul Janish after being limited to a bench role for four straight games, but manager Buck Showalter has since decided to turn the position back over to the veteran. Tejada will pick up his fourth straight start Sunday after recording his third two-hit performance of the season a day earlier while Janish hits the bench once again.

Anderson went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in Saturday's 10-4 loss to the Rangers.

Anderson was back in the lineup after a two-day absence designed to clear his head, but he remains in a deep funk. The 24-year-old shortstop has two hits in his last 25 at-bats (.080) with nine strikeouts (34.6 percent). Anderson's undergoing adversity during his second season, and it's up to him to adjust.
