D'Arnaud pinch-hit for Drew Pomeranz and beat out an infield single in the fifth inning of Tuesday's 11-7 loss to Milwaukee. It was the d'Arnaud's first at-bat since joining the Red Sox on April 28.

Until that point in the night, the Red Sox did very little against Wily Peralta despite the right-hander's inability to throw strikes. D'Arnaud then scored on a double by Mookie Betts, running through the stop sign put up by third base coach Brian Butterfield. The sequence served as a wake-up call for the offense but Boston's comeback was spoiled twice by its bullpen. With third base being the Red Sox's weakest of the field positions, there's an opportunity for d'Arnaud to establish a more regular presence in the lineup, particularly if he creates offense like he did Tuesday. At the very least, he'll be part of the pinch-hitting crew while Boston plays two more games in Milwaukee.

Correa went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer in the first inning of Tuesday's 8-3 win over Atlanta.

That bomb -- the first of back-to-backs, with Carlos Beltran following him up -- set the tone for this game early on. Unsurprisingly, Correa has seen a course correction after hitting just .196/.292/.250 over his first 15 games; he's since played in another 15 contests, hitting .323 with three homers, 12 RBI and 12 runs over that span.

O'Malley (shoulder) underwent arthroscopic surgery Tuesday and remains out for at least several more months, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.

O'Malley went on the 60-day disabled list in part due to a recent appendectomy, but he's also taken the opportunity to clean up a less-publicized right shoulder problem. The veteran utility man turned in a solid spring (.278/.333/.278 with six RBI, three walks and four stolen bases over 16 games) before being hospitalized on March 21 for the emergency appendix procedure.

Mondesi is slashing .250/.325/.306 over nine games since being demoted to Triple-A Omaha.

Mondesi was one of the first dominoes to fall in what looks to be a major collapse for the organization in 2017. After the 21-year-old was a surprising choice to make the Opening Day roster, he was sent back to the minors just two weeks into the MLB campaign. With a fire sale likely ahead, the Royals will probably give Mondesi another call-up this summer, but even so, the second baseman is only worth a roster spot in dynasty leagues.

Bogaerts has hit in 10 straight games after going 3-for-6 with a double and a run scored in Saturday's 11-1 win over the Twins.

Bogaerts batted third Saturday but has also hit leadoff (nine games), fifth (four games and sixth (10 games). And he's hit no matter where he's placed in the order. What he hasn't done much of in 2017 is hit for power. He hasn't hit a home run yet and just four of his 33 hits have gone for extra bases. His 21-homer season in 2016 suggested a new normal for the shortstop, but that may not necessarily be the case.

Anderson is out of the lineup Sunday against the Orioles.

Anderson was bumped down to seventh in the order Saturday, and despite collecting a base hit to bring his season average up to a meager .209, the young shortstop will get the day off. According to Colleen Kane of the Chicago Tribune, manager Rick Renteria gave him the day off to deal with a personal loss. Tyler Saladino will get the starting nod in his stead.

Lindor went 1-for-5 with a solo homer in Saturday's win over the Royals.

Lindor left the yard for the eighth time this year to give the Indians an insurance run in the ninth inning of a come-from-behind victory. He's done very little to disappoint fantasy owners, as the superstar is slashing .287/.354/.591, which is currently better production then he had in his breakout 2016 campaign.

Anderson is hitting seventh Saturday against the Orioles, the Chicago Sun-Times' Daryl Van Schouwen reports.

Prior to this game against righty Dylan Bundy, Anderson had seen 11 games in the leadoff spot and 15 games in the two-hole, but with him hitting .207/.235/.288, the team wanted to take some pressure off his bat. Anderson will need to heat up in order to offer much value, regardless of where he is hitting. Leury Garcia moved to the two-hole and Melky Cabrera moved to the leadoff spot. If Anderson starts to produce, he should be able to reclaim a top spot in the lineup, as Garcia is hardly a qualified No. 2 hitter.

Bogaerts is starting at shortstop and hitting No. 3 in the order Saturday against the Twins.

With the Red Sox shaking up their lineup in an attempt to generate some offense, Bogaerts moves up to a spot in the order in which he's only made one start this year. The 24-year-old leads the team with a .326 batting average and a .380 OBP and normally hits out of the fifth or sixth spot, but could be in line for more at-bats.

Anderson went 2-for-5 in his return to the lineup in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Orioles. He had been given a rest day Thursday.

Anderson's two singles Friday raised his average to .207, the second time this season he's crossed the Mendoza threshold. After making a nice splash in 2016, it appears the league has caught up to the 23-year-old shortstop the second time around. Pitchers are feeding him more sliders and it's resulting in more soft contact. Additionally, he's hitting just .171 against right-handers. Right-handers that throw sliders are pretty common in the majors. Anderson and the White Sox have seen a steady dose of AL Central foes, teams that may know Anderson better than others. Perhaps Anderson's bat can come alive when the schedule features more teams outside his division, but word about a hitter's deficiencies circulates pretty quickly around the league. Anderson will need to adjust to the increased diet of sliders he's seeing.
