Lindor went 2-for-3 with a double, walk and two runs scored in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Brewers.

Lindor started slowly this season, recording just 15 knocks in his first 65 at-bats. However, he has enjoyed a strong stretch since Aug. 11, going 30-for-93 (.323) with 10 extra-base hits over that span. In all, the shortstop is slashing a solid .280/.341/.453.

Bogaerts went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Saturday's 9-8 win over the Blue Jays.

Bogaerts was hitless in his first four at-bats, but he took Blue Jays closer Anthony Bass deep to tie the game in the ninth inning. The solo shot was his ninth homer of the year to go with three stolen bases, 24 RBI and 22 runs scored through 39 games. He's slashing .277/.335/.525 in 155 plate appearances.

Adames isn't in Saturday's lineup against the Marlins.

Adames struck out in each of his four at-bats Friday, and he'll take a seat for Saturday's contest. Joey Wendle will start at shortstop in his place.

Diaz started at second base and went 1-for-5 with a double in Friday's 6-5 loss to the Angels.

Diaz, who had been manning third base for the injured Alex Bregman (hamstring), moved to second base Friday as a replacement for Jose Altuve (knee). Altuve's knee injury is expected to prevent him from playing the rest of the weekend, so Diaz should receive at-bats in Saturday's doubleheader and Sunday's single game. Playing time beyond that depends on how Altuve's knee responds and/or Bregman's pending return.

Wendle went 2-for-3 with a walk, a run scored and a stolen base in Friday's win over the Marlins.

Wendle is not capturing many headlines but has a couple homers and three steals now with a palatable .269 batting average. He's in a good spot, batting regularly in the top third of the Rays' order against right-handed pitching, and best of all for fantasy, Wendle has three-position eligibility.

Velazquez went 0-for-2 with a stolen base and a walk in Friday's 6-3 win over the Yankees in Game 2 of their doubleheader.

Velazquez drew the walk in the sixth inning and stolen second base. It's his fourth steal of the year. The 26-year-old has added two RBI and eight runs scored across 62 plate appearances.

Crawford went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run during Friday's win over the Rangers.

Crawford extended Seattle's lead with a three-run shot off Taylor Hearn in the eighth inning. The 25-year-old is now averaging .248/.338/.358 on the season with two long balls and 23 runs scored.

Mondesi went 3-for-4 with two stolen bases and a pair of RBI singles in Friday's 7-4 loss to the White Sox.

Mondesi had RBI singles in the second and fourth innings. After the latter one, he also recorded his first stolen base of the game. His second steal came in the eighth. The shortstop snapped an 0-for-22 skid Friday, but he's still slashing only .196/.224/.246 with a major-league-leading 10 stolen bases as well as 11 runs scored and five RBI in 38 games this year.

Anderson went 2-for-4 with a stolen base, two runs scored and an RBI in Friday's 7-4 win over the Royals.

Both of Anderson's hits were singles, but his RBI came in the form of a sacrifice fly in the fourth. He also scored on an Edwin Encarnacion sacrifice fly in the first and Jose Abreu's two-run double in the sixth. Anderson is slashing a stellar .352/.389/.607 with seven homers, four steals, 32 runs scored and 14 RBI in 29 contests.

Bogaerts isn't in the lineup for the second game of Friday's doubleheader against the Blue Jays.

Bogaerts will take a seat for the nightcap after going 0-for-4 with one strikeout in the first game of the twin bill. Jonathan Arauz will take over at shortstop.
