Boagerts went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a sacrifice fly in Wednesday's 8-3 loss to Houston.

Bogaerts knocked in two of Boston's three runs in the lopsided loss. The shortstop got a day off from playing the field, instead serving as the designated hitter. The 29-year-old is slashing .321/.378/.543 with 11 homers, 38 RBI, 35 runs scored and four stolen bases across 246 plate appearances. He's gone 11-for-27 (.407) during his seven-game hitting streak.

Mondesi (hamstring) took batting practice and did some other work Tuesday, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

Manager Mike Matheny said Mondesi appeared to be moving well. As critical as the young shortstop's absence is, the Royals will surely exercise caution in timing his return from his second IL stint of the season.

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

Wendle had started each of the last two games and went 0-for-4 with two walks and two strikeouts during that time. Mike Brosseau will take over at the hot corner and bat fifth.

Crawford went 3-for-4 with a walk in Tuesday's loss to the Tigers.

Crawford made his presence felt at the top of the order once again and extended his streak of reaching safely multiple times to five straight contests. The shortstop has compiled one home run, five RBI, four runs scored, five doubles and a 4:2 BB:K over that span, and he's hitting .462 since the calendar flipped to June.

Anderson went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's 6-1 victory over the Blue Jays.

Anderson singled twice and knocked in a run with an eighth-inning sacrifice fly that accounted for Chicago's final tally of the contest. The star shortstop extended his on-base streak to 10 games with the two-hit effort, and during that stretch he has hit .359 (14-for-39) with a homer, six RBI and three stolen bases.

Correa went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, an RBI double and another run scored during Tuesday's win over Boston.

Correa got the scoring starting by just barely taking Martin Perez deep with a 310-footer in the first inning. He made Perez pay again in the second by knocking in an RBI double. It was Correa's sixth multi-hit outing over the last 11 games. On the season, he holds a team-leading 11 homers to go with 14 doubles and a .288/.372/.502 slash line.

Diaz (hand) was officially placed on the injured list Tuesday, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

The move is an expected one, as manager Dusty Baker said Sunday that Diaz would miss 6-to-8 weeks with a broken hand, an injury he suffered after getting hit by a pitch Saturday against the Blue Jays. Michael Brantley (hamstring) was activated off the injured list in a corresponding move.

Crawford went 2-for-5 with two doubles, two RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 9-5 win over the Angels.

Crawford reached base safely three times capped off by two extra-base hits. He was a part of four of the Mariners nine runs. The 26-year-old is slashing just .263/.326/.376 with three home runs, 21 RBI and 26 runs in 227 plate appearances. He isn't much of a power threat, but his .263 average is his highest of his career.

Bogaerts went 2-for-3 with a walk and three RBI in Sunday's 6-5 extra-inning win over the Yankees.

The Red Sox completed the sweep of the Yankees in New York when Bogaerts' two-run, two-out single in the top of the 10th held up in the bottom half of the inning. It was the fourth consecutive game in which he's hit safely, as he's 7-for-17 during that stretch after recently snapping an 0-for-24 skid. The Red Sox scored 11 of their 18 runs in the series with two outs.

Anderson went 2-for-4 with two RBI in Sunday's 3-0 win over the Tigers.

Anderson knocked a two-run single during a three-run second inning Sunday. He's on a short five-game hitting streak, and he's produced three multi-hit performances during that span. The star shortstop is slashing .297/.335/.432 with 22 RBI this season.
