Bogaerts went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer in Friday's 8-1 win over the Dodgers.

Bogaerts provided the cushion with his seventh-inning homer -- his 18th of the season -- following an extended rain delay. He's closing in on a second consecutive 20-homer/100-RBI season. Over the past 10 games, Bogaerts has four homers and 17 RBI.

Adames is out of the lineup for Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader versus the Orioles, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Joey Wendle will receive the start at shortstop for Game 1 of the doubleheader. Adames had a nice return from the All-Star break as he recorded a multi-hit game with a double and an RBI in the Rays' 16-4 thrashing of the Orioles on Friday night. Look for Adames to be back at his normal starting role at short in the second game of the day.

Crawford went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 10-7 win over the Brewers.

The Giants were facing homer-prone righty Chase Anderson on Friday, but Crawford surprisingly went deep off one of the league's top lefty relievers in Josh Hader. The 32-year-old has been more successful against same-handed pitchers this season, batting .265 against southpaws compared to .206 against righties. Even with the impressive long ball, Crawford's overall slash line of .224/.290/.354 has been disappointing.

Arcia (shoulder) is in the lineup for Friday's game against the Giants.

Arcia was carted off the field last weekend after a collision with second baseman Keston Hiura, but he managed to avoid a serious injury and is back for the first game of the second half. While the shortstop appeared to be falling out of favor after a series of absences in late June, he started three straight and four of five before the collision, so he should still be considered the primary option for now.

Correa (ribs) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Friday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Correa has been on the IL with a cracked rib since late May, and he'll now be unable to be activated until July 26. The 24-year-old is expected to begin a rehab assignment within the next week, so if he avoids any setbacks he could seemingly return to the Astros when first eligible.

Correa (ribs) is expected to begin a rehab assignment sometime around next Wednesday, Hunter Atkins of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Correa has been out with a cracked rib since late May. The Astros haven't revealed how long he's expected to remain on a rehab assignment, but it seems likely that he'll be back at some point in late July.

Diaz (hamstring) will start a rehab assignment Monday, Hunter Atkins of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Diaz reportedly has been participating in baseball activities since June 4, but he's finally been given the green light to head out on a rehab stint. Given his lengthy absence, he figures to require at least a few games in the minors in order to get back up to speed.

Seager (hamstring) was activated from the 10-day injured list Wednesday.

Seager will wind up missing a month with a hamstring strain. He recorded a solid .278/.359/.468 slash line with eight homers in 66 games during the first half of the season. He'll return to an everyday role at shortstop after the All-Star break, sending Chris Taylor back into a utility role. Matt Beaty was optioned in a corresponding move.

Cordoba went 12-for-29 with two doubles, a triple, six runs, three RBI and five stolen bases for High-A Lake Elsinore last week.

The 23-year-old had a torrid week for the Storm, as he continues to rebound nicely after missing extended time last season due to a concussion suffered in a car accident. After hitting just .206 over 164 plate appearances in the California League last season, Cordoba is slashing a respectable .303/.351/.407 through 248 plate appearances so far in 2019.

Seager (hamstring) went 0-for-2 with a strikeout Sunday in his rehab game with High-A Rancho Cucamonga.

In the second game of his rehab assignment, Seager started at shortstop and played two innings in the field before he was removed as part of a planned defensive substitution. He'll likely log at least a few more innings in the field in the final game of his assignment this week before returning from the 10-day injured list when the Dodgers begin their second-half schedule Friday in Boston. Chris Taylor will be most in danger of losing out on regular work once Seager is formally reinstated.
