Adrianza has seven hits in 22 at-bats since coming off the disabled list in early May.

The utility infielder has seen infrequent playing time for Minnesota thus far but has found success when in the lineup. He carries a .318/.370/.364 slash line and will see occasional time in left field in addition to the infield spots, making him a versatile bench option for the Twins.

Anderson went 2-for-5 with a home run and two RBI in Tuesday's 13-7 loss to the Red Sox.

Manager Rick Renteria continues to move Anderson up and down the batting order, but the shortstop's been very comfortable in the seven-hole. In nine games as the seventh-place hitter, Anderson is 16-for-35 (.457, 1.358 OPS) with four homers and seven RBI. He's enjoyed a good month of May, bouncing back from an awful April when he primarily hit leadoff or second. We'd like to see Renteria let Anderson build momentum down the order and not try to force him into being something he's not yet ready to be.

Bogaerts went 4-for-5 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 13-7 win over the White Sox.

After waiting until last Thursday to hit his first homer of the season, Bogaerts needed just five games to go yard again. In addition to the power surge, he's now hitting .417/.450/.639 with two steals, eight RBI and 10 runs over his last nine games.

Pennington went 2-for-4 in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Braves.

The utility man notched his first multi-hit effort since May 12 in Monday's loss, snapping an 0-for-8 slump. Pennington has bounced back after a difficult April in which he hit just .179, as he's now slashing .279/.354/.279 over 48 plate appearances in May.

Correa went 3-for-5 with a home run, a double, three RBI and three runs during Monday's win over Minnesota.

Correa has strung together five consecutive multi-hit games with two doubles, two homers, six RBI and five runs. He sports a .311/.386/.514 slash line with eight bombs, 30 RBI and 33 runs for the campaign, and the 22-year-old Correa has a good chance at posting career-best numbers hitting in the heart of Houston's lineup.

Lindor is back in the lineup Monday against the Athletics.

Lindor was given a rare day off Sunday, but he'll be back in business Monday afternoon, batting second and manning shortstop.

Anderson will start at shortstop and lead off for the White Sox in Monday's game against the Red Sox.

Anderson has served as the White Sox's leadoff hitter on five other occasions in May, but had been batting out of the No. 5 spot over each of the previous five games. The shortstop's move upward in the lineup is likely just a result of Leury Garcia getting the afternoon off, so it's not expected that manager Rick Renteria has any plans to permanently stop using Anderson in the heart of the order.

Lindor is out of the lineup Sunday against the Royals.

It's the first time Lindor will receive a day off this season after starting in each of the preceding 47 contests. The lightly used Erik Gonzalez will draw into the lineup while Lindor rests up.

Lindor went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Saturday's loss to Kansas City.

Lindor's 401-foot blast off Jason Vargas in the first inning put the Indians on the board and extended his hitting streak to 12 games. Lindor is hitting .313 with three long balls during the streak, raising his season average to .283. Even at a loaded shortstop position, Lindor is one of the best options in the game.

Sardinas cleared waivers Friday and was assigned to Triple-A Norfolk.

Sardinas was claimed off waivers Wednesday after being released by the Padres, so the Orioles will bring him aboard to provide organizational depth. The 24-year-old hit just .163/.226/.163 while seeing limited playing time with San Diego, but could overtake utility infielder Paul Janish for a roster spot if he can impress in Triple-A.
