Wendle will start at third base and bat sixth Saturday against the Blue Jays.

The 30-year-old was originally stationed on the bench for Saturday's contest, but he'll join the starting nine with Yandy Diaz (head) a late scratch. Wendle has a .295/.368/.459 slash line through 68 plate appearances and could see more consistent at-bats if Diaz is forced to miss time.

Gordon isn't in the lineup Saturday against the Rangers.

Even with right-hander Jordan Lyles on the mound for Texas on Saturday, Gordon will take a seat. Sam Haggerty will take over in left field, batting second.

Fletcher went 3-for-5 with a double and a run in a 5-3 loss to the Athletics on Friday.

Fletcher scored the Angels' first run of the game in the fifth inning, beginning the frame with a double and coming around to score on a single by Anthony Rendon. The multi-hit effort was the eighth of the season for Fletcher, who is slashing .313/.373/.464 with three homers and nine RBI. He is tied for the team lead with 17 runs scored.

Camargo went 2-for-5 with two doubles, two RBI and a run scored in an 11-2 win over the Phillies on Friday.

Camargo had an RBI double to deep center field which capped off a four-run third inning and then got the fun started again in the fifth with a two-run double that ignited a seven-run inning. His two RBI on the day were his first since Aug. 12 as he continues to struggle at the plate while filling in for the injured Ozzie Albies (wrist) at second base.

Rojas went 2-for-4 with a three-run homer in Friday's win over the Nationals.

In his first at-bat after coming off the COVID-19 injured list, Rojas took Patrick Corbin yard to account for all of the Marlins' runs in a 3-2 victory. The shortstop has had an incredible start to the season despite his long absence from the lineup, going 9-for-14 (.643) with two homers, a steal, five runs and eight RBI.

Turner went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's loss to the Marlins.

The shortstop took Elieser Hernandez deep in the third inning to bring the Nats to within a run of the Marlins, but neither team scored again. Turner is slashing .289/.350/.522 with five homers, 10 RBI and 15 runs, but his one steal in four attempts remains disappointing.

Story went 1-for-4 with an RBI in Friday's loss to the Dodgers.

Story produced his 16th RBI of the season with a single to right field that scored Drew Butera in the top of the sixth inning, and that was the biggest highlight for a Colorado offense that went 4-for-31 as a team against the Dodgers' pitching staff. Story, who rode a nine-game hitting streak earlier this month, is hitting .274 with a .834 OPS in 84 August at-bats.

Bogaerts went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in an 8-5 win over the Orioles on Friday.

Bogaerts got the scoring started for the Red Sox with a solo shot to center field in the second inning. Slashing .281/.343/.528, the young shortstop has been one of the more consistent hitters for his club and should see more RBI chances once hitters in front of him like J.D. Martinez and Rafael Devers start to heat up at the plate.

Adames is not in the lineup for Friday's game against Toronto.

The Rays continue to rotate heavily around the diamond, though Adames has as close to an everyday role as anyone in Tampa, starting 23 of the first 27 games at shortstop. Joey Wendle starts at the position Friday.

Bogaerts went 3-for-5 with a home run, two RBI and two runs in Thursday's victory over Baltimore.

The shortstop registered his fifth multi-hit effort of the campaign in the win and swatted his fifth homer -- a solo shot to left field in the third inning. Bogaerts boosted his batting average nearly 20 points with the effort and is now slashing .282/.347/.506 through 95 plate appearances.
