Bogaerts went 3-for-5 with a solo home run in Sunday's loss to the Dodgers.

Bogaerts extended his recent power surge with a 352-foot shot to left field in the eighth inning to bring Boston to within a run. The All-Star shortstop has now homered in his first three games following the break, knocking in six runs over that stretch. Overall, he is slashing .301/.389/.559 with 20 home runs and 71 RBI in 345 at-bats this season.

Turner went 1-for-3 with an RBI and a walk in Sunday's loss to the Phillies.

Turner tied the ballgame in the seventh inning with an RBI single to right field, but it was the Phillies who would come away with a victory in the series finale. He's now collected a base knock in five of his last six matchups, and he's slashing .280/.336/.471 with seven homers and 22 RBI over 53 contests this year.

Anderson (ankle) was spotted fielding ground balls Sunday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports. "[Anderson's] still not pushing off [the right] leg as well as we'd like but he's healing," manager Rick Renteria said after the shortstop's workout.

Sidelined since June 26 with the high right-ankle sprain, Anderson took some meaningful steps forward this weekend by resuming baseball activities. Along with taking part in fielding drills, Anderson also went through batting practice Saturday in addition to some light mobility drills. Anderson's ability to comfortably cut in the field and run the bases will likely be the final test he'll need to pass before the White Sox send him out on a minor-league rehab assignment.

Fletcher will start at shortstop and bat leadoff Sunday against the Mariners, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Fletcher will draw his 15th start of the season at shortstop while the Angels' normal option at the position, Andrelton Simmons, receives the day off. Whether he's been deployed in left field, shortstop, second base or third base this season, Fletcher has displayed an elite hit tool, batting .302 while striking out in only 27 of his 340 plate appearances (7.9 percent). Fletcher has been especially dialed in lately, riding a four-game multi-hit streak into the series finale.

Seager is not in the lineup for Sunday night's game at Boston, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Seager was activated off the injured list and started the first two games of the series, but he'll take a seat versus southpaw David Price after going hitless in nine at-bats. Chris Taylor will take over at shortstop in his absence Sunday.

Gordon is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.

Manager Scott Servais will stash three of the Mariners' lefty-hitting regulars (Gordon, Omar Narvaez and Daniel Vogelbach) on the bench in the series finale with southpaw Jose Suarez taking the hill for the Angels. With Gordon sitting, Dylan Moore will pick up a start at second base.

Edman is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

With Matt Carpenter returning from the 10-day injured list following the All-Star break, Edman's opportunities could dwindle unless manager Mike Shildt is willing to confine Kolten Wong to the bench more regularly. Edman has produced three home runs and three steals through his first 22 games in the majors, but a .288 on-base percentage has limited the real-life impact of his counting-stats production. He'll sit for the second straight day while Carpenter starts at third base and Wong mans the keystone.

DeJong is out of the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Diamondbacks, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

DeJong started the last 26 games for the Cardinals but will head to the bench for Sunday's series finale. The 25-year-old has struggled with a .605 OPS in that stretch. Yairo Munoz is starting at shortstop and batting second in his place.

Bogaerts went 2-for-3 with a home run and two RBI in Saturday's 11-2 loss to the Dodgers.

Bogaerts' fourth-inning home run was the third in 11 plate appearances and gave him a team-high 19, one more than J.D. Martinez. He's amplified his run production of late with five homers, 19 RBI and 10 runs over the last 11 games.

Story went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Saturday's 17-9 loss to the Reds.

His fifth-inning shot off Tanner Roark was a drop in the bucket given all the scoring on the night, but it did give the shortstop 20 homers for the fourth straight season to begin his career. Story is now slashing .287/.352/.546 through 79 games, numbers right in line with last year's performance.
