Lindor went 1-for-2 with two walks and a solo home run in Tuesday's 2-1 extra-inning win over the White Sox.

He's already got four homers through seven games, and the 23-year-old looks set to take his power game to another level after connecting on a career-high 15 home runs last season. Lindor's stellar defense may have overshadowed his offensive upside coming up through the Indians system, but he seems intent on establishing himself as perhaps the game's best all-around shortstop in 2017.

Bichette is 6-for-15 (.400) with a home run, two doubles and six runs scored through his first four games with Low-A Lansing.

The Jays' No. 6 prospect, and son of former big-league slugger Donte Bichette, went deep on Opening Day for the Lugnuts. After dominating rookie ball last year, Bichette is embarking on his first full season as a professional. The 19-year-old, who was drafted in the second round in 2016, appears destined to do battle with Richard Urena (the club's No. 5 prospect) for the title of heir apparent to Troy Tulowitski.

Bogaerts was reinstated from the bereavement list Tuesday, Jason Mastrodonato of the Boston Herald reports.

Reports surfaced earlier in the day that the young shortstop would be in the lineup for Tuesday's contest with the Orioles, but this procedural move was the only thing in the way of that becoming a reality. To make room for him on the roster, Deven Marrero was optioned to Triple-A Pawtucket.

Bogaerts will be in the Red Sox's lineup Tuesday against the Orioles, WEEI's Evan Drellich reports.

He has not yet been officially activated from the bereavement list, and his spot in the lineup has not been made public, but owners in daily transaction leagues should plan on deploying Bogaerts in this contest. Marco Hernandez and Steve Selsky seem like the two most likely candidates to be optioned as a corresponding move.

Correa went 3-for-4 in Monday's 6-0 loss to the Mariners.

Correa stood apart from the rest of the offense, which managed just four hits (three singles and a double) in seven innings against Seattle starter James Paxton. The shortstop is emerging from a chilly start, banging out five hits -- albeit all singles -- over the last two games. Unfortunately, the Astros are lower half in average (.232, 18th), OBP (.306, 20th) and slugging (.380, 20th). Nobody's getting on base for Correa to knock in, and he's not hitting the ball with authority yet.

Bogaerts (personal) was unable to join the Red Sox in Detroit and won't be available for the team's series finale with the Tigers on Monday, Peter Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

After missing the past four games while on the bereavement list, Bogaerts was scheduled to meet up with the team Monday and return to the lineup, but his flight to Detroit was ultimately cancelled. The Red Sox will return to Boston in advance of Tuesday's game against the Orioles, and it's expected that Bogaerts will take back his usual starting role at shortstop, pushing Marco Hernandez to the bench or minors. Since the Red Sox have a full slate of games this week, Bogaerts still looks like a safe fantasy activation, given that he'll likely be in line for five or six starts.

Adrianza (oblique) was able to take some swings underwater Sunday, Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Adrianza is expected to move on to hitting off a tee in the coming days, but it will still probably take a couple more weeks before he'd be ready to come off the 10-day disabled list. The utility infielder has no minor-league options remaining, so once he's deemed ready to go, the Twins would have to expose him to waivers if there isn't a spot for him on the major-league roster.

Mondesi is not in the lineup Saturday against the Astros.

Mondesi will sit for the first time this season, as the Royals will go with Christian Colon at second base Saturday. After a strong spring training, Mondesi has struggled early on, going just 2-for-14 at the plate with four strikeouts. Perhaps more concerning from a fantasy perspective, however, is the fact that the 21-year-old appears locked into the ninth spot in the batting order, at least for the foreseeable future.

Bogaerts (personal) will return to the Red Sox lineup Monday for the series finale against Detroit, Brian MacPherson of The Providence Journal reports.

It's the earliest date Bogaerts is able to return from bereavement leave, and an appearance the Red Sox are anxiously awaiting with Hanley Ramirez sidelined by illness. The 2016 All-Star shortstop will likely get an interesting pitching matchup upon his return -- fireballer Justin Verlander. Expect Marco Hernandez to get sent back to Triple-A Pawtucket upon Bogaerts' return.

Lindor went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Friday's loss to the Diamondbacks.

A night after going deep twice against Texas, Lindor wasted no time starting the party again Friday. His first-inning blast gave him three bombs in three straight at-bats. Lindor is the first Indians player to go yard three times in the season's first four games since Grady Sizemore in 2007.
