Anderson (wrist) will start at shortstop and bat seventh Sunday against the Twins.

Anderson was scratched from the lineup ahead of Saturday's game after complaining of a sore right wrist, which had been struck by a pitch in Friday's series opener. The day off was apparently all Anderson needed to overcome the issue, as he'll check back into the lineup Sunday while Jose Rondon moves back to the bench.

Bogaerts is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

Manager Alex Cora suggested that Bogaerts is merely receiving a maintenance day after starting each of the Red Sox's last 21 games. With Bogaerts on the bench, Eduardo Nunez will fill in at shortstop and bat ninth against Astros ace Justin Verlander.

Diaz went 2-for-5 with two doubles and two runs scored in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Red Sox.

Diaz scored the game-winning run after demolishing the second pitch he saw from Matt Barnes for a double to lead off the bottom of the ninth inning. He batted leadoff on a day when the Astros placed usual leadoff batter George Springer on the 10-day injured list with a Grade 2 hamstring injury that is expected to sideline him for longer than the minimum. Diaz has been swinging a hot bat while filling in at second base for Jose Altuve (hamstring), going 16-for-46 (.348) with six extra-base hits, 12 RBI and 10 runs over the last 14 contests. However, that gig could end soon as Altuve is set to begin a rehab assignment Sunday. If the Astros want to keep Diaz's bat in the lineup after Altuve returns, which could be a soon as Tuesday, they may move him to left field.

Correa went 3-for-4 with one run scored, one RBI and a walk in Saturday's 4-3 walkoff win over Boston.

Correa came to the plate in the ninth inning with nobody out and the bases juiced and drove in the game-winning run with a single against a five-man infield. The 24-year-old was 5-for-27 over his last eight games entering the contest, but he had no issues Saturday and collected his fifth three-hit game of the year.

Adrianza went 3-for-4 and with a three-run homer in an 8-1 win over the White Sox on Saturday.

Adrianza drove in four runs and his homer off Kelvin Herrera was his third since May 12. The 29-year-old nevertheless still bats near the bottom of the Twins' lineup, and he has a lackluster .231/.333/.397 slash line with no stolen bases this season.

Gordon visited a specialist for a second opinion on his wrist Saturday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Gordon was initially sent to the injured list with a right wrist contusion, but the Mariners are seemingly afraid that the issue is worse than that. The results of the second opinion are not yet known.

Crawford went 2-for-3 with a double and two walks in a loss to the Athletics on Friday.

Crawford continues to acquit himself well at the big-league level, as he's now hit safely in seven of the last eight contests. The 24-year-old is hitting a solid .271 with five extra-base hits (four doubles, one home run), three RBI, four walks and six runs, and he's set to keep a hold of the everyday shortstop job for the foreseeable future.

Anderson was scratched from Saturday's lineup against the Twins with right wrist soreness, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

A pitch hit his wrist on a swing in Friday's game. The fact that he was originally in the lineup suggests that the injury may not be that serious, but it will nonetheless force him to the bench for at least one game. Anderson was hitting .361/.395/.389 over his last 10 games. Jose Rondon will start at shortstop in his place.

Anderson was a late scratch from Saturday's lineup against the Twins, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

It is unclear why Anderson was removed from the lineup. Jose Rondon will get the start at shortstop in his stead.

Anderson went 3-for-3 with a double and a run scored in Friday's 11-4 loss to the Twins.

Every time it seems like the shortstop might be slowing down at the plate, he quickly heats up again. Anderson's gone 12-for-28 (.429) over the last eight games since getting a breather May 16, boosting his slash line on the season back up to .337/.369/.506 with eight homers, 13 steals, 25 RBI and 28 runs in 46 contests, and the only thing holding back his fantasy value even slightly is manager Rick Renteria's insistence on hitting Anderson towards the bottom of the order against right-handed pitching.
