Fletcher (groin) is not in the lineup Tuesday against Cleveland, Daniel Guerrero of MLB.com reports.

Fletcher will be sidelined for the third straight game Tuesday after initially playing through the groin issue last week. The team previously indicated a trip to the injured list wasn't expected, though it's unclear whether that assessment has changed. Phil Gosselin will start at the keystone Tuesday in his absence.

Mondesi (oblique) has been transferred to Triple-A Omaha to continue his rehab assignment Tuesday, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

The move marks one step closer toward Mondesi's looming return to big-league action. The switch hitter likely would have been activated by now if not for his lefty swing being a bit behind in the rehab, but the move to Triple-A suggests Mondesi is swinging comfortably from both sides of the plate.

Fletcher (groin) remains on the bench Monday against Cleveland.

Fletcher dealt with the groin issue throughout last week but played through it for several games before sitting Sunday's game out. Playing through the injury didn't seem to be working, as he's gone hitless in four straight games. The Angels do believe he'll be able to avoid a trip to the injured list, per Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times. He'll remain on the bench Monday with Phil Gosselin getting the nod at second base.

Crawford went 1-for-3 with a two-run single and a walk in a win over Cleveland on Sunday.

The hot-hitting shortstop continued to demonstrate his season-long knack for timely hitting with his third-inning single, which drove in Mitch Haniger and Kyle Seager with the Mariners' second and third runs of the day. Crawford now has 14 RBI despite having hit out of the bottom third of the order in 32 of 41 games, with his .327 and .333 averages with men on base and men in scoring position, respectively, responsible for that figure.

Bichette went 2-for-5 with a home run, two RBI and two runs in Sunday's 10-8 win over the Phillies.

Marcus Semien and Bichette blasted back-to-back home runs to begin Sunday's high-scoring contest as the Blue Jays narrowly picked up the series win against Philadelphia. Bichette is slashing .275/.320/.494 with nine home runs, 33 runs and 25 RBI this season.

Adames went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run in Sunday's win over the Mets.

Adames extended his hitting streak to three games and has reached base at least twice in all three of those contests. He's leaving behind a woeful stretch between May 1 and May 12 during which he hit only .206 across 34 at-bats. He also launched his fifth homer of the campaign, and the power display has been noticeable of late. He has connected on three of his five home runs during the current month.

Anderson went 3-for-5 with a double, two runs scored and a stolen base in Sunday's win over the Royals.

Anderson made his presence felt at the top of the White Sox's lineup once again. He delivered a complete effort, stealing his seventh base of the campaign and posting a multi-hit game for the sixth time during his ongoing 11-game hitting streak. The star shortstop is hitting .382 during that 11-game stretch.

Adames went 1-for-3 with a two-run double, two walks and two runs in a win over the Mets on Saturday.

It was an extremely rare taste of offensive success for Adames, who's slashing just .187/.237/.341 even when factoring in Saturday's productive day. The 25-year-old has shown some signs of life at the plate over the last 10 games by hitting .242 with two doubles, two home runs, six RBI and six runs during that span, but he's also struck out at a mammoth 48.6 percent clip in the sample.

Fletcher will not be in the lineup Sunday as a result of a groin injury, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

It's the same groin issue that Fletcher came down with in Houston earlier this week. He has been trying to play through it, but Fletcher is 0-for-his-last-17. Jose Rojas will lead off in the finale in Boston, followed in the order by Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani.

Correa went 2-for-3 with a walk, a two-run home run and a second run scored in Saturday's 6-5 win over Texas.

Correa knocked an opposite-field blast to cap a four-run first inning and is coming back from a slump that began when the calendar flipped to May. The slugging shortstop is 6-for-13 with two RBI and seven runs scored and has reached base safely 11 times over the last four games. He and Kyle Tucker, who bats seventh behind Correa, have authored turnarounds this month, making the order deeper.
