Fletcher went 2-for-5 with a triple and a run scored in Friday's 7-2 loss to the White Sox.

Fletcher's best batting of the night came in the third inning, when he tripled off White Sox starter Lucas Giolito then scored on an infield single by Shohei Ohtani. Fletcher's other hit was a leadoff single in the first inning. The versatile infielder is 11-for-25 with five runs scored and three RBI over his last six games, with five of those hits going for extra bases. The 25-year-old is up to .287/.345/.402 with five homers, four triples and eight steals this year.

Anderson went 2-for-5 with an RBI single and two runs scored in Friday's 7-2 win over the Angels.

Anderson provided the run-scoring single in the third inning, knocking in Leury Garcia before advancing to third then coming around to score on a wild pitch by Angels starter Patrick Sandoval. Anderson then got aboard with a single in the eighth inning and scored on James McCann's grand slam. The shortstop has posted three straight multi-hit efforts, going 8-for-14 with six runs scored in that short span. He's hitting .327/.348/.490 with 12 homers, 16 stolen bases, 41 RBI and 53 runs scored in 87 games this season.

Shewmake was promoted to Double-A Mississippi on Friday, Gabe Burns of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

The 21-year-old seems to be progressing quickly after being selected 21st overall in the 2019 draft and will make a two-level jump. In 51 games at Low-A Rome, Shewmake slashed .318/.389/.473 with 39 RBI and 37 runs.

Featherston was promoted to Triple-A Omaha on Friday, Jeffrey Flanagan of MLB.com reports.

The 29-year-old has spent 102 games this season at Double-A, slashing .240/.292/.404 with 13 homers and 49 RBI for Northwest Arkansas, but roster shuffling above him in the organization has now allowed him to move up to Triple-A. His last big-league appearance dates back to the 2017 campaign with the Rays, when he struggled to a .179 average with two home runs and six RBI over 17 contests.

Wendle (wrist) is expected to switch off between playing the field and serving as the designated hitter for the GCL Rays over the weekend, and after receiving Monday off, he'll move his rehab to Triple-A Durham on Tuesday, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

Wendle embarked on his rehab stint Thursday, and he's expected to see more action over the weekend before moving up to Triple-A. He's been on the injured list since July 31 due to right wrist inflammation, though he should be ready for activation by the end of next week if all goes according to plan.

Baez (illness) is back in the lineup Friday and batting fifth against the Pirates.

Baez returns to the starting nine one day after being scratched due to illness. In the month of August, the 26-year-old has hit three home runs with 12 RBI and nine runs.

Camargo was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Camargo heads to Triple-A Gwinnett to make room on the 25-man roster for Adeiny Hechavarria, who joined the organization Friday. In 89 games with the Braves this season, Camargo carries a slash line of .222/.268/.344 with five home runs.

Correa went 2-for-4 with a pair of home runs in Thursday's 7-6 loss to the A's.

Correa brought the Astros within one run on two occasions with solo home runs in the fifth and seventh innings, but unfortunately the A's pulled out on top. The multi-homer game was Correa's first of the season. Through 68 games, he's slashing .290/.366/.579 with 19 home runs, 55 RBI and 38 runs scored.

Wendle (wrist) started at third base and went 0-for-3 for the Gulf Coast League Rays in a loss to the Gulf Coast League Orioles on Thursday.

Wendle was able to log a full game in the field in his first taste of game action since July 28. Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports that Wendle will be reevaluated at Tropicana Field on Friday before resuming his rehab assignment Saturday at a to-be-determined minor-league affiliate.

Seager went 1-for-4 a walk and a solo home run Thursday against the Marlins.

Seager took Jose Quijada deep in the sixth inning to record his 12th homer of the season. He's now gone deep in three consecutive games, jumping his slugging percentage from .435 to .456. His production has extended beyond this homer streak however, as Seager has recorded at least one hit in seven of his past 10 games and scored in each game in that span. While injury has cost him some counting stat production, Seager is hitting .266 and getting on-base at a .343 clip across 394 plate appearances for the season.
