Bogaerts went 1-for-4 with a homer, a steal, a pair of walks, two runs and four RBI in Friday's win over the Orioles.

Bogaerts drove in the first three of Boston's 19 runs with a three-run homer in the top of the first inning off Dylan Bundy. His steal was just his fourth of the year, well off the 15 he picked up last season, but he now has 17 homers, four off his career high.

Adames went 1-for-4 with a run and a stolen base in the Rays' win over the Orioles on Thursday.

The rookie swiped his second bag of the season, a key development in that it moved him into scoring position for Jake Bauers' eventual go-ahead two-run single. Although he's hitting only .220 over the first eight games of August, Adames seems to progressively be figuring out big-league arms, now having reached safely in six straight games.

Correa (back) was officially activated off the 10-day disabled list Friday, Jake Kaplan of The Athletic Houston reports.

Correa makes his return for the second game of the series against Seattle, as expected, after missing 36 games due to back stiffness. The 23-year-old was slashing .268/.352/.480 with 13 home runs prior to landing on the disabled list, and should be back in the lineup at shortstop for the Astros on Friday.

Crawford (hand) was activated from the 10-day DL on Friday.

Crawford will be available for this weekend's three-game set in San Diego after spending the past seven weeks on the shelf with a fractured left hand. With the addition of Asdrubal Cabrera near the trade deadline, it remains to be seen what kind of role Crawford will have, though it's likely that he will be utilized as a reserve infielder moving forward. During 34 games this year, he's hit just .194/.312/.333 with two home runs, eight RBI and two stolen bases.

Correa (back) is expected to come off the 10-day disabled list prior to Friday's game against the Mariners, Christian Boutwell of MLB.com reports.

Correa was back with the team Thursday, and after missing 36 games while on the shelf, he'll return to action over the weekend and resume his role as the everyday shortstop. He was slashing .268/.352/.480 with 13 homers and 49 RBI through 73 games before suffering a back injury. J.D. Davis was sent back to the minors in a corresponding move.

Lindor went 2-for-5 with a double and three RBI in Thursday's 5-4 win over Minnesota.

Lindor delivered a two-run single in the second inning, and he doubled home a run in the fourth to push the lead to four. He's now recorded five straight multi-hit games, going 10-for-23 with two homers and seven RBI over that span. The 24-year-old shortstop has a chance to match if not surpass his totals from 2017, as he's batting .298 with 29 home runs and 74 RBI through 113 games this season, compared to .273 with 33 homers and 89 RBI last year.

D'Arnaud (knee) is not in Thursday's starting nine against the Pirates.

D'Arnaud has been hampered by a knee bruise suffered Tuesday against Houston after fouling a ball off his knee. Given the nature of the injury, he isn't expected to remain out for long, and he should slot into the lineup sometime over the weekend either at second or third base.

Correa (back) is back with the big-league club following a rehab assignment and could return from the 10-day DL on Friday, Christian Boutwell of MLB.com reports.

Correa played in five games with Double-A Corpus Christi over the past week, and he appears to be on the verge of reinstatement after missing about six weeks with a back injury. The shortstop should be back in the starting lineup upon his activation, but expect manager A.J. Hinch to give him regular rest during the next couple weeks as he continues to get back into game shape.

Gordon will hit ninth and man second base against the Astros on Thursday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Manager Scott Servais will attempt to rejuvenate the club following seven losses in the last 10 games, shifting Mitch Haniger to the leadoff spot and dropping Gordon to the bottom of the order. In addition, Denard Span will bat second and Jean Segura is hitting out of the three hole. It remains to be seen if this will be anything more than a short-term change, though Gordon is just 4-for-33 (.121 average) over his past eight games.

DeJong went 1-for-4 with a two-run double in a win over the Marlins on Wednesday.

DeJong enjoyed his time against Marlins pitching over the last three games, going 4-for-11 with two doubles, a home run, four RBI and two runs during the three-game set. The shortstop is looking to get his bat back on track after a .217 tally in July dropped his season average 17 points to .244.
