Adames went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a 4-3 win over the Pirates on Friday.

Adames went deep for his 17th home run of the season to help power the Brewers to victory. The 26-year-old shortstop is slashing a meager .179/.281/.429 with only five hits in seven games in July. Despite struggling to make contact and get on base this year, Adames is on pace to set career highs in home runs and RBI.

Crawford went 2-for-5 with an RBI double and a run in an extra-innings win over the Blue Jays on Friday.

Crawford came through with a man on again, as his third-inning two-bagger plated Julio Rodriguez to snap a 1-1 tie. The veteran shortstop has delivered some timely hits of late and now boasts a six-game hitting streak that dates back to June 28.

Seager went 2-for-3 with a three-run homer and a walk in Friday's 6-5 win over Minnesota.

Seager drilled his home run off Caleb Thielbar as part of the Rangers' six-run fifth inning. He's 5-for-12 with two homers and six RBI over his last three games, improving his season slash line to .237/.308/.433 through 347 plate appearances. He's up to 17 long balls this year, surpassing his 2021 total in 16 fewer games.

Pena (undisclosed) isn't starting Friday's game against the Athletics.

Pena was scratched from Thursday's lineup due to the league's health and safety protocols, and he'll remain out of the starting nine for a second consecutive game. The 24-year-old traveled with the team to Oakland, so he should be considered day-to-day for now. Mauricio Dubon is starting at shortstop and batting eighth.

Camargo (knee) reported to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Friday to begin a rehab assignment.

Camargo has been on the shelf with a right knee strain since June 29, so he shouldn't require much time in the minors to get back up to speed. The 28-year-old should reclaim a utility role for the Phillies once reinstated from the injured list.

Correa (leg) is starting at shortstop and batting second Friday against the Rangers, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

The 28-year-old was held out Wednesday due to some tightness in his legs, but he will rejoin the lineup Friday following Minnesota's scheduled day off Thursday. Correa is 0-for-12 with an RBI, a run, five walks and three strikeouts over his past four games.

Witt (hand) is starting at shortstop and batting third Friday against the Guardians.

Witt hasn't seen the field since suffering the hand injury late in Tuesday's contest, but he'll rejoin the lineup for Thursday's series opener in Cleveland. The 22-year-old is 3-for-21 with a home run, two walks, three RBI and two runs through five appearances in July.

Mateo went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Angels.

Mateo has logged two steals in his last three games since it was revealed he has been dealing with a sore left quad. The 27-year-old clearly isn't too hampered by it when running, as he's up to 21 stolen bases this season and he hasn't been caught stealing since June 14. He's added a .194/.249/.320 slash line through 275 plate appearances this year while regularly hitting at the bottom of the order.

Castillo went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in the first game of Thursday's doubleheader against the Reds.

The rookie gave the Pirates a 1-0 lead with a solo shot in the fifth inning off Mike Minor and added a single off Ian Gibaut in the eighth. The homer was Castillo's first blast since July 28 and his ninth of the season. However, he's still only slashing .198/.240/.371 through his first 70 games.

Anderson went 1-for-4 with a run scored Thursday against the Tigers.

Anderson started a ninth-inning rally for the White Sox with a one-out single before coming around to score. He's hit .205 with one extra-base hit across his last 10 games, though he's still scored seven runs and swiped two bags in that span. Even with the slow stretch, Anderson has maintained an excellent .313 average across 244 plate appearances on the season.
