Pennington (hamstring) has been shifted to the 60-day disabled list, Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register reports.

Pennington will begin a rehab assignment on Wednesday. However, as a result of this move, he now won't be eligible to make his return until July 31. At least he'll have ample time in the minors to get his swing right and make sure his hamstring is fully healed.

Bogaerts went 1-for-5 with a two-run homer in Friday's 5-3 victory over the Yankees.

The dynamic shortstop added to a 3-0 Red Sox lead in the sixth with a 403-foot shot to left that brought in Dustin Pedroia. Bogaerts now has two homers in his last three contests and has driven in at least one run in four straight games. After starting July with an 0-for-7 tally over the first two games of the month, Bogaerts has now hit safely in six of the subsequent eight games.

Lindor went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double, a run scored and an RBI in Sunday's loss to the Yankees.

The 22-year-old shortstop will head into the second half with a .306/.363/.460 slash line and Lindor has emphatically proven that his big debut in the majors last season was no fluke. So far in a little over a full season (186 games) worth of action with Cleveland, he's compiled 22 homers, 25 steals, 96 RBI and 110 runs.

Bogaerts went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer and a walk Saturday against the Rays.

Bogaerts' 10th blast of the year gave the Red Sox a 2-1 lead in the second inning of a game they'd hold on to win. The bomb broke a 17-game home run drought, and he's now slashing .331/,392/.479 on the season.

Correa went 2-for-5 with a homer, three runs and three RBI Friday against the Athletics.

Correa got the Astros on the board with a two-run blast in the fourth inning of a game the team would eventually win. He's now reached base safely in nine of his last 10 games, and he's slashing .264/.360/.469 on the year.

Mondesi was promoted to Triple-A Omaha on Friday, Paul Boyd of the Northwest Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reports.

Mondesi has gone 5-for-12 (.417) with six stolen bases since being reinstated from a 50-game PED suspension. The 21-year-old slashed .267/.338/.457 with 17 stolen bases over 29 games with Double-A NW Arkansas this season and now has an opportunity to show off his skills during his first appearance in Triple-A ball.

O'Malley (foot) is back in the lineup against the Royals on Thursday, Bob Dutton of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

O'Malley was hit by a foul ball Monday, but came in for two at-bats during Tuesday's contest. He sat out Wednesday's game, but will be back in the lineup Thursday in center, batting ninth in the order. O'Malley is hitting .221 with five RBI during 68 at-bats this season.

Mondesi has gone 4-for-11 with three walks and four steals in four games since returning from a PED suspension at Double-A Northwest Arkansas on July 4.

The soon-to-be 21-year-old is having his best offensive season as a pro in 2016, despite the 50-game absence as a result of the suspension. Mondesi could be in the mix for a second-half call-up to Kansas City, likely after rosters expand, as he is already in possession of a spot on the 40-man roster.

Mateo received a two-week suspension Wednesday for allegedly complaining to management about not getting a promotion to Double-A, the New York Post's George King reports.

The suspension means the Yankees' top prospect won't participate in the Futures Game on Sunday in San Diego, but it means relatively little in terms of affecting his long-term development. Of course, Mateo was believed to have good makeup, so this does change that perception a little, but he's still talented enough to make people forget about this issue down the road. The timing of his argument about getting promoted is a bit odd, as he has been in a brutal slump for a month. His season line sits at .266/.323/.396 with five homers and 26 steals in 340 plate appearances.

Mateo, 21, is batting just .211 with 11 strikeouts and zero stolen bases over his last 10 games for High-A Tampa.

It is difficult to steal bases when you aren't on base, as Mateo has hit the skids of late. However, this is likely just a blip on the radar. The 21-year-old remains one of the better shortstop prospects in the game, slashing .266/.323/.396 with five home runs, 34 RBI and 26 steals through 76 games at this level. He is on the roster for the Futures Game.
