Fletcher went 3-for-3 with a double, two RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 8-3 win over Detroit.

The 27-year-old knocked in a run with a sacrifice bunt in the sixth inning, and he added an RBI double in the eighth. Fletcher is on a six-game hitting streak, during which he's gone 12-for-21 (.571) with seven RBI, five runs scored and three doubles. The contact-hitting infielder has posted a .281/.312/.328 slash line with no home runs, 24 RBI, 38 runs scored and three stolen bases across 275 plate appearances overall. Given his recent surge, Fletcher has responded well to batting at the bottom of the order, although that gives him fewer chances to make an impact for fantasy managers.

Crawford went 2-for-4 with a double and a run in a win over the Rays on Friday.

The hot-hitting shortstop's multi-hit effort was already his sixth of June and pushed his slash line for the month to .382/.436/.588 across 78 plate appearances. Crawford has shown a nice knack for timely hitting during that stretch, garnering nine RBI over the 17-game sample.

Mondesi isn't starting Saturday's game against the Red Sox.

Mondesi has homered in each of his last two games, including a mammoth blast in the bottom of the third inning Friday that traveled 464 feet. Nicky Lopez will take over at shortstop and bat ninth.

Mondesi went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and a walk in Friday's 5-3 win over Boston.

Mondesi's second blast in as many games gave Kansas City a 3-1 lead in the third inning. The shortstop has four homers, nine RBI, four runs scored and a stolen base in just nine games this season. While the power shouldn't be expected to last, Mondesi should be able to provide a speed boost as long as he doesn't aggravate a hamstring strain that cost him two weeks earlier this month.

Fletcher is not in the starting lineup Friday against the Tigers.

Fletcher will get his first day off since late May. Luis Rengifo will man the keystone and bat ninth Friday.

Wendle isn't starting Friday's game against the Mariners, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

Wendle had started each of the last six games, but he'll retreat to the bench with southpaw Yusei Kikuchi starting for the Mariners on Friday. Mike Brosseau will start at third base and bat fifth.

Correa went 1-for-3 with a double, an RBI, a run and a walk in Thursday's 10-2 win over the White Sox.

Correa's ground-rule double in the fourth inning knocked in Yuli Gurriel to begin the four-run frame. He scored in the same inning on an Abraham Toro single. The shortstop has an RBI in each of his last four games and he's slashing .294/.385/.510 in 283 plate appearances. The 26-year-old is second on the team behind Jose Altuve in home runs (12) and runs (47) and his 35 walks lead the team.

Chang went 2-for-4 with a home run, four RBI and two runs scored Thursday against the Orioles.

Chang went hitless in his first two at-bats, but he began his production with a two-RBI single in the sixth inning. Two frames later, he delivered a two-run home run for his second long ball of the season. This was also Chang's first multi-hit game since April 18. Chang has struggled with the bat considerably through 101 plate appearances, as he's hit only .179/.218/.305 on the campaign.

Bogaerts went 3-for-5 with three doubles, two runs and an RBI in Wednesday's win over Atlanta.

Bogaerts went deep in two of his previous three games, but he did his damage with two-baggers Wednesday, collecting a trio of doubles for his 22nd multi-hit game of the season. The star shortstop's fifth-inning double was particularly important as it gave the Red Sox a temporary 5-3 lead. Bogaerts is tied for third in MLB with 20 doubles on the campaign while slashing an impressive .325/.387/.571 with 13 homers, 41 RBI and four stolen bases.

Mondesi (hamstring) went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 6-5 loss to Detroit.

The shortstop missed two weeks with a hamstring strain. In limited time this year, Mondesi has three homers, six RBI, three runs scored and a stolen base. The speedster will likely take on an everyday role going forward if he can stay healthy, which will leave Nicky Lopez and Hanser Alberto as bench options.
