Fletcher went 2-for-5 with a double and a strikeout in Tuesday's 6-1 loss to Texas.

Fletcher led off the game with a double and singled in the seventh but the Angels' big bats were unable to bring him home. The middle infielder's slash line now sits at .265/.284/.570.

Adames is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Athletics, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

Now on the bench for the second time in three days, Adames may be at risk of moving into more of a part-time role in light of his rough start to the season. After an 0-for-3 showing in Monday's 2-1 loss, Adames is now sitting on a .183/.227/.338 slash line and 30.7 percent strikeout rate through 75 plate appearances. Joey Wendle will cover shortstop Tuesday and bat fifth.

Bogaerts went 1-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Sunday's win over the Mariners.

Bogaerts was Boston's designated hitter Sunday and made his presence felt at the plate -- he recorded his eighth double of the campaign and plated his 12th RBI of the campaign. The shortstop has now hit safely in seven straight games and has posted two multi-hit efforts in that stretch.

Correa is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Aledmys Diaz will pick up a start at shortstop while Correa sits for the first time in 2021. Unless he makes an appearance off the bench Sunday, Correa will look to extend his three-game RBI streak in Monday's series opener against the Mariners.

Adames is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

Adames will be getting a maintenance day after going 4-for-18 with a triple and a stolen base while starting each of the past five games at shortstop. Joey Wendle will shift over from third base to cover Adames' usual spot in the infield.

Correa went 3-for-6 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Saturday's 16-2 rout of the Angels.

He set the tone for the afternoon by leading off the bottom of the first inning with a blast off Griffin Canning. Correa has had a fast start to the season, slashing .284/.330/.481 through 20 games with four homers, 11 RBI and 13 runs.

Wendle isn't starting Saturday's game against the Blue Jays.

Wendle went hitless with two strikeouts in four at-bats during Friday's series opener against Toronto. Mike Brosseau will take over as the third baseman Saturday, batting fourth.

Crawford, who went 1-for-3 with an RBI single, a walk and a run in a loss to the Red Sox on Friday, sports a .297 average and .395 on-base percentage over the 43 plate appearances covering his last 13 games.

That said, the third component of Crawford's slash, his slugging percentage, sits at just .324 thanks to the shortstop logging all of one extra-base hit (a double) over 70 total plate appearances. The 26-year-old carries a 10-game on-base streak into Saturday's matinee matchup versus Boston.

Diaz isn't starting Saturday's game against the Angels, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Diaz had started each of the last eight games and went 7-for-31 with three doubles, four RBI, two runs and seven strikeouts during that time. Robel Garcia will start at second base and bat seventh.

Anderson went 2-for-5 with two runs scored in Friday's 9-7 win over the Rangers.

Anderson has hit safely in all six games since coming off the injured list, going 12-for-28 with two home runs, three steals and eight runs.
