Crawford suffered a left calf contusion in Friday's loss to the Padres, Mark W. Sanchez of KNBR 680 San Francisco reports.

Crawford was hit by a pitch in the top of the fifth inning, and he was replaced by Mauricio Dubon at shortstop in the bottom half of the frame. Manager Gabe Kapler said that Crawford will be evaluated Saturday, and a better idea of his status could be determined once the evaluation is complete.

Bogaerts went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 6-1 win over the Rangers.

Bogaerts, who recently had a seven-game hitting streak snapped and entered Friday's contest with just one hit in his last 13 at-bats, finished off back-to-back blasts in the first inning. He followed up J.D. Martinez's three-run bomb to put the Red Sox up 4-0 after one inning. It was the fourth home run of the season for the shortstop, who is slashing .330/.369/.546 over 25 games.

Bichette went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and a second run scored in Friday's 13-5 rout of Atlanta.

He got the offensive eruption rolling with a third-inning blast off Drew Smyly, one of six Toronto homers on the night. Bichette has gone yard in back-to-back games, and he heads into May hitting ,260 with seven home runs, three steals, 15 RBI and 19 runs through 24 games.

Diaz went 2-for-5 with a double, a run scored and four RBI in Friday's 9-2 win over the Rays.

The utility player was right at the heart of a big night by the Houston offense, collecting one RBI on a third-inning groundout and another on a single in the seventh before capping the team's scoring with a two-run double in the ninth. Diaz heads into May hitting .259 with one homer, seven runs and 11 RBI through 17 games.

Correa went 4-for-5 with two doubles, a run scored and an RBI in Friday's 9-2 win over the Rays.

He tied Michael Brantley for the team lead in hits on a night when the Astros banged out 15 knocks in total. Correa finishes up an impressive April hitting .303 with four homers, 13 RBI and 16 runs through 25 games.

Anderson went 2-for-5 with a run, an RBI and two stolen bases in Friday's 5-3 loss to Cleveland.

Anderson was a force in the third inning Friday. He singled in a run before swiping second base and coming around to score on a Yoan Moncada base hit. He stole another bag after singling in the fifth, giving him five on the season. The 6-foot-1 shortstop is slashing .313/.343/.478 through 70 plate appearances.

Mondesi (oblique) has progressed to participating in batting practice at the alternate training site, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

The 25-year-old began taking part in some baseball activities a couple weeks ago, but advancing to taking batting practice is a significant step as he returns from an oblique strain. Mondesi figures to be a couple weeks away from rejoining the Royals, and he'll likely take part in minor-league rehab games before returning to the majors.

Camargo was optioned to the alternate site Thursday.

Camargo used to have a locked-down place on Atlanta's bench, but he's fallen down the hierarchy in recent seasons. He didn't make the team's Opening Day roster but has already spent two brief stints with the team, going 0-for-11 in limited action. He'll likely keep bouncing on and off the roster throughout the year.

Baez (hamstring) went 1-for-4 with a triple, an RBI and a run scored in Thursday's win over Atlanta.

Baez had missed the previous three games with a hamstring strain, but he looked comfortable legging out his first triple of the season. The shortstop is still batting just .235, but he's talented enough to heat up quickly and start producing elite numbers.

Baez (hamstring) will start at shortstop and bat fifth Thursday against Atlanta.

Baez missed the last three games with a mild left hamstring strain, but the time off appears to have allowed him to recover from the injury. With a .276 OBP and a career-worst 43.2 percent strikeout rate over 81 plate appearances this season, Baez has been a disappointment from a real-life standpoint, but he's been productive for fantasy purposes with six home runs, five stolen bases, 17 RBI and 12 runs in 20 games.
