Bogaerts was scratched from the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays due to right groin tightness, Brian MacPherson of the Providence Journal reports.

Bogaerts was having difficultly getting stretched out prior to the game, and after consulting with team trainers and manager John Farrell, it was decided that the 24-year-old would require a day off. Tzu-Wei Lin will move over to shortstop in place of Bogaerts, while Deven Marrero enters the lineup at third base. The Red Sox should provide another update on Bogaerts' condition before the team continues its road trip in Texas on Monday.

Tejada will start at shortstop and bat eighth Sunday against the Rays.

It appeared Tejada had ceded the starting shortstop job to Paul Janish after being limited to a bench role for four straight games, but manager Buck Showalter has since decided to turn the position back over to the veteran. Tejada will pick up his fourth straight start Sunday after recording his third two-hit performance of the season a day earlier while Janish hits the bench once again.

Gordon is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.

Gordon started the first two games of the Marlins' weekend series against the Brewers -- collecting one hit in eight at-bats -- but he'll head to the bench in favor of Derek Dietrich. Though he's swiped an impressive 29 bags this season, Gordon's last stolen base came over a week ago on June 24.

Anderson went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in Saturday's 10-4 loss to the Rangers.

Anderson was back in the lineup after a two-day absence designed to clear his head, but he remains in a deep funk. The 24-year-old shortstop has two hits in his last 25 at-bats (.080) with nine strikeouts (34.6 percent). Anderson's undergoing adversity during his second season, and it's up to him to adjust.

Correa went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and two RBI during Saturday's win over the Yankees.

Correa has been a rock-solid fantasy asset since entering the league, and this season he's taking his game to another level. The shortstop sports a .311/.388/.543 slash line with 17 home runs, 55 RBI and 56 runs. It would be nice to see him more active on the bases, as he hasn't attempted a steal all season. However, he owns a 1.079 OPS through his past 19 games and has recorded a hit in 17 of those contests, including 11 straight, so it's tough to nitpick.

Lindor went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in Saturday's loss to the Tigers.

The talented shortstop has been mired in a slump, as he slashed just .214/.261/.339 in June and started his July with an 0-for-4. There's still plenty of reason to believe Lindor will get things turned around, however, as he's striking out just 12.2 percent of the time and his .252 BABIP should inch its way closer to league average as the season progresses. Furthermore, he's shown to be a strong finisher with a career .321/.370/.477 slash line in the second half.

Bogaerts went 1-for-4 with three RBI and three strikeouts in Saturday's win over Toronto.

After sitting out Friday amid a nasty slump, Bogaerts somewhat got himself back on track with his third game of at least three RBI this season. He drove in two runs on an RBI single to extend a lead in the ninth inning and also hit a sac fly in the fifth. Bogaerts was hitting .200/.259/.240 over the last week heading into Saturday, but he maintains a strong .314/.366/.455 slash line for the season. Provided he sticks in the lineup Sunday, he'll face Toronto right-hander Joe Biagini.

Crawford went 0-for-6 in Friday's win over the Pirates, dropping his June batting average to .189 (18-for-95).

The shortstop's ice-cold month dropped his slash line (.232/.274/.369) to levels we haven't seen prior to his breakout season in 2015. Crawford has been fluctuating between fourth and sixth in the lineup all season, so he should remain a solid source of RBI even when hits aren't falling (i.e. his 20 RBI in June).

DeJong went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Friday's 8-1 win over the Nationals.

The rookie continues to impress, with Friday's home run extending his hitting streak to nine games. That stretch includes three homers and helped him finish June with 14 RBI. With Aledmys Diaz having been sent down to Triple-A Memphis, DeJong figures to have an extended opportunity to continue solidifying his standing with the big-league club over the next few weeks at a minimum.

Seager is not in the lineup for Friday's game, J.P. Hoornstra of the Southern California News Group reports.

Seager returned to action from a hamstring injury Thursday after missing the previous five contests. He will get another day off to rest following an 0-for-4 performance that included two strikeouts. Enrique Hernandez takes over at short Friday, but Seager is likely to be back in the lineup Saturday.
