Adames went 2-for-4 with an RBI single in a win over the Yankees on Friday.

Adames opened the scoring on the night for the Rays with his third-inning bloop single on his way to just his second multi-hit game of the season. The rookie has been designated as the everyday shortstop moving forward, which should give him plenty of time to gain seasoning against big-league arms. Adames is hitting just. 222 this month.

Arcia is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against St. Louis.

With Brad Miller recalled from Triple-A Colorado Springs, Arcia could be in line for a diminished role, especially if he continues to struggle at the dish. He's hitting just .201/.234/.259 with two home runs and 15 RBI in 60 games this year.

Baez is out of the lineup versus Cincinnati on Saturday.

Manager Joe Maddon wanted to give Baez a day off sometime this weekend in order to keep the 25-year-old fresh, so look for him to rejoin the starting nine during Sunday's series finale. In his place, Ben Zobrist will man second base and bat third in the order.

Adrianza is out of the lineup against the Rangers on Saturday, Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Adrianza will receive a breather after starting the past 12 games while Taylor Motter draws the assignment at shortstop in his stead. Over his last four games, Adrianza is 2-for-14 with eight strikeouts.

Bogaerts (finger) is unlikely to play Saturday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Bogaerts suffered a sprained finger while sliding into second base Friday. He was replaced in Friday's game by Eduardo Nunez, but Brock Holt is expected to start in his place Saturday.

Anderson went 2-for-4 with a double, a solo home run and three runs scored in Friday's win over the A's.

Anderson tagged starter Chris Bassitt for a double -- his ninth of the year -- and later slugged a solo homer off Yusmeiro Petit in the eighth inning. Anderson's 12 home runs are tied for sixth among MLB shortstops, but he only has 28 RBI on the season (which ties him for 14th at the position). The 25-year-old's power is a nice feature but comes with a 25 percent strikeout rate, which helps explain the .235 batting average and .299 on-base percentage.

Herrera went 2-for-5 with a double, a triple and an RBI in Friday's win over the Astros.

Herrera hit a double -- his first of the year -- off Dallas Keuchel and later clubbed an RBI triple -- his second three-bagger of the year -- off Ken Giles in the ninth to break a scoreless tie. Herrera is now 5-for-18 with three RBI and a stolen base since being called up on June 17. The 25-year-old figures to see playing time in the outfield with Jorge Soler on the disabled list, but other guys like Paulo Orlando and Jorge Bonifacio (who's eligible to return from his suspension on June 27) are also in the mix.

Bogaerts left Friday's game after spraining his left index finger, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

When sliding into second base in during the sixth inning, Bogaerts' hand protector hit the dirt and caused his hand to contort, which might've led to the injury. Eduardo Nunez batted for him in the seventh. Consider X-Man day-to-day until the Red Sox provide a postgame update.

DeJong (hand) was able to participate in live batting practice Friday prior to the Cardinals' game in Milwaukee, Joe Trezza of MLB.com reports.

This marked the first time DeJong took part in an on-field batting practice session since landing on the disabled list. A recent medical evaluation revealed that DeJong had regained 80 percent of his grip strength, Joe Trezza of MLB.com reports, clearing him to ramp up his hitting over this past week. Moving forward, he's going to have a check-up with a doctor next week and if everything looks to be in order, he will begin a minor-league rehab assignment in the near future.

Wendle is not in the lineup against the left-handed CC Sabathia and the Yankees.

Wendle has yet to start against a single southpaw this season. Daniel Robertson returns from his hamstring injury to start at second base in his place.
