Bogaerts will be in the Red Sox's lineup Tuesday against the Orioles, WEEI's Evan Drellich reports.

He has not yet been officially activated from the bereavement list, and his spot in the lineup has not been made public, but owners in daily transaction leagues should plan on deploying Bogaerts in this contest. Marco Hernandez and Steve Selsky seem like the two most likely candidates to be optioned as a corresponding move.

Correa went 3-for-4 in Monday's 6-0 loss to the Mariners.

Correa stood apart from the rest of the offense, which managed just four hits (three singles and a double) in seven innings against Seattle starter James Paxton. The shortstop is emerging from a chilly start, banging out five hits -- albeit all singles -- over the last two games. Unfortunately, the Astros are lower half in average (.232, 18th), OBP (.306, 20th) and slugging (.380, 20th). Nobody's getting on base for Correa to knock in, and he's not hitting the ball with authority yet.

Bogaerts (personal) was unable to join the Red Sox in Detroit and won't be available for the team's series finale with the Tigers on Monday, Peter Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

After missing the past four games while on the bereavement list, Bogaerts was scheduled to meet up with the team Monday and return to the lineup, but his flight to Detroit was ultimately cancelled. The Red Sox will return to Boston in advance of Tuesday's game against the Orioles, and it's expected that Bogaerts will take back his usual starting role at shortstop, pushing Marco Hernandez to the bench or minors. Since the Red Sox have a full slate of games this week, Bogaerts still looks like a safe fantasy activation, given that he'll likely be in line for five or six starts.

Adrianza (oblique) was able to take some swings underwater Sunday, Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Adrianza is expected to move on to hitting off a tee in the coming days, but it will still probably take a couple more weeks before he'd be ready to come off the 10-day disabled list. The utility infielder has no minor-league options remaining, so once he's deemed ready to go, the Twins would have to expose him to waivers if there isn't a spot for him on the major-league roster.

Mondesi is not in the lineup Saturday against the Astros.

Mondesi will sit for the first time this season, as the Royals will go with Christian Colon at second base Saturday. After a strong spring training, Mondesi has struggled early on, going just 2-for-14 at the plate with four strikeouts. Perhaps more concerning from a fantasy perspective, however, is the fact that the 21-year-old appears locked into the ninth spot in the batting order, at least for the foreseeable future.

Bogaerts (personal) will return to the Red Sox lineup Monday for the series finale against Detroit, Brian MacPherson of The Providence Journal reports.

It's the earliest date Bogaerts is able to return from bereavement leave, and an appearance the Red Sox are anxiously awaiting with Hanley Ramirez sidelined by illness. The 2016 All-Star shortstop will likely get an interesting pitching matchup upon his return -- fireballer Justin Verlander. Expect Marco Hernandez to get sent back to Triple-A Pawtucket upon Bogaerts' return.

Lindor went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Friday's loss to the Diamondbacks.

A night after going deep twice against Texas, Lindor wasted no time starting the party again Friday. His first-inning blast gave him three bombs in three straight at-bats. Lindor is the first Indians player to go yard three times in the season's first four games since Grady Sizemore in 2007.

Adrianza has not swung a bat yet as he recovers from a right oblique strain, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

He's eligible to return from the 10-day DL on April 9, but this report makes it sound like he won't be ready. He'll likely need a minor-league rehab assignment, which would likely push his return to late April or early May.

Bogaerts was placed on the bereavement list Thursday, Evan Drellich of CSN New England reports.

Marco Hernandez will join the Red Sox to take Bogaerts' roster spot while he's away from the team. Per MLB rules, Bogaerts will miss a minimum of three games and a maximum of seven games while on the bereavement list. It's unclear how long Bogaerts plans to be away from the team, but the earliest he'll be able to return will be Monday against the Tigers.

Mondesi has failed to collect a hit and has struck out twice over his six at-bats through the Royals' first two games of the season.

Mondesi rose up draft boards following a stellar spring training that enabled him to claim a starting role at second base, but he's been unable to carry over that success to the regular season, at least in the early going. More disconcerting than his 0-of-6 start at the dish is the fact that he's batted ninth in the order in both of his two games, as Mondesi had been occupying the leadoff spot for much of Cactus League play. While Alex Gordon hasn't been able to spark the Royals at the top of the order, Mondesi will probably need to prove his worth in the lower third of the lineup before manager Ned Yost entrusts the 21-year-old with a more fantasy-friendly role as a table-setter.
