David Fletcher 2B | ATL
Angels' David Fletcher: Recalled from Triple-A
The Angels selected Fletcher's contract from Triple-A Salt Lake on Saturday, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.
Fletcher has been white-hot in Triple-A as of late, slashing an absurd .530/.551/.697 over the course of his 15-game hitting streak. Fletcher failed to produce during his brief MLB stint at the beginning of April, but his momentum from Triple-A could carry over into the bigs as he offers additional depth to the Angels' infield.

White Sox's Tim Anderson: Knocks in lone run in return
Anderson (shoulder) went 0-for-3 with a sacrifice fly in Friday's 3-1 loss to the Red Sox.
Anderson was out of action for a week with a sore shoulder, but he was able to return and play a full game at second base. While the soreness isn't fully gone, it appears he may be able to tough it out for now. He's struggled of late, going just 2-for-26 (.077) over his last eight contests. It's unclear if Anderson will log enough time at second base to earn eligibility there in fantasy before returning to his usual position at shortstop.

David Hamilton 3B | MIL
Red Sox's David Hamilton: Swipes bag in win
Hamilton went 0-for-2 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 3-1 win over the White Sox.
Hamilton has already racked up two steals in three games at the major-league level after logging 27 thefts in 52 contests for Triple-A Worcester. The shortstop has gone 1-for-5 with a walk and two runs scored. He has a chance to carve out a strong-side platoon role while Pablo Reyes (abdomen) is on the injured list for the next 10 days at a minimum.

White Sox's Tim Anderson: Starting at second Friday
Anderson (shoulder) was added to the White Sox's lineup for Friday's game against Boston.
Anderson was initially held out of Friday's lineup in favor of Zach Remillard, but Anderson officially will start for the first time since Saturday. His shoulder is still limiting his ability to throw -- hence his start at second base -- but he should still be healthy enough to resume starting every day. The 30-year-old infielder is slashing .249/.290/.292 through 221 plate appearances this year.

White Sox's Tim Anderson: Still out Friday

He originally injured his right shoulder a week ago and most recently appeared off the bench Tuesday against the Rangers. Elvis Andrus will start at shortstop while Zach Remillard will start at the keystone.

Red Sox's Pablo Reyes: Placed on 10-day IL
Reyes (abdomen) was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.
Reyes will head to the injured list following an early departure Thursday with what is now understood to be an abdominal strain. David Hamilton is starting at shortstop Friday, and he could split time with Enrique Hernandez while Reyes is on the shelf.

Pablo Reyes RF | SD
Red Sox's Pablo Reyes: Out of lineup Friday
Reyes (undisclosed) is not in the starting lineup Friday against the White Sox, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.
Reyes was removed from Thursday's series finale with Minnesota early and he will now miss at least one contest while nursing whatever injury he sustained. It's possible that the 29-year-old reaggravated the abdominal issue that forced him to miss Tuesday and Wednesday's games. David Hamilton will draw the start at shortstop and bat ninth in the series opener with Chicago.

J.P. Crawford SS | SEA
Mariners' J.P. Crawford: Remains unavailable Friday
Crawford (shoulder) is not in the starting lineup Friday against the Orioles, Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM reports.
Crawford will miss a third straight game as he continues to nurse an injured right shoulder following a collision during Tuesday's game with the Yankees. Jose Caballero will slide over to shortstop while Kolten Wong enters the lineup at second base and bats seventh versus Baltimore.

Bo Bichette 3B | NYM
Blue Jays' Bo Bichette: Back in lineup
Bichette (thumb) is starting Friday against Oakland.
Bichette was scratched from Wednesday's lineup due to thumb soreness, but he's ready to go after an extra day of rest Thursday. The 25-year-old shortstop is currently on an eight-game hitting streak and is slashing .313/.333/.469 with three RBI in that span.

Johan Camargo SS | SF
Tigers' Johan Camargo: Gets minors deal from Tigers
Camargo signed a minor-league contract with the Tigers on Friday.
Camargo was let go by the Royals on Thursday and will now attempt to get back to the majors with a new organization. The 29-year-old infielder has impressed in a small sample in the minors this season, slashing .298/.412/.544 through 68 plate appearances.
