Bogaerts went 3-for-5 with a solo home run in Sunday's loss to the Dodgers.

Bogaerts extended his recent power surge with a 352-foot shot to left field in the eighth inning to bring Boston to within a run. The All-Star shortstop has now homered in his first three games following the break, knocking in six runs over that stretch. Overall, he is slashing .301/.389/.559 with 20 home runs and 71 RBI in 345 at-bats this season.

Anderson (ankle) was spotted fielding ground balls Sunday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports. "[Anderson's] still not pushing off [the right] leg as well as we'd like but he's healing," manager Rick Renteria said after the shortstop's workout.

Sidelined since June 26 with the high right-ankle sprain, Anderson took some meaningful steps forward this weekend by resuming baseball activities. Along with taking part in fielding drills, Anderson also went through batting practice Saturday in addition to some light mobility drills. Anderson's ability to comfortably cut in the field and run the bases will likely be the final test he'll need to pass before the White Sox send him out on a minor-league rehab assignment.

Fletcher will start at shortstop and bat leadoff Sunday against the Mariners, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Fletcher will draw his 15th start of the season at shortstop while the Angels' normal option at the position, Andrelton Simmons, receives the day off. Whether he's been deployed in left field, shortstop, second base or third base this season, Fletcher has displayed an elite hit tool, batting .302 while striking out in only 27 of his 340 plate appearances (7.9 percent). Fletcher has been especially dialed in lately, riding a four-game multi-hit streak into the series finale.

Gordon is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.

Manager Scott Servais will stash three of the Mariners' lefty-hitting regulars (Gordon, Omar Narvaez and Daniel Vogelbach) on the bench in the series finale with southpaw Jose Suarez taking the hill for the Angels. With Gordon sitting, Dylan Moore will pick up a start at second base.

Bogaerts went 2-for-3 with a home run and two RBI in Saturday's 11-2 loss to the Dodgers.

Bogaerts' fourth-inning home run was the third in 11 plate appearances and gave him a team-high 19, one more than J.D. Martinez. He's amplified his run production of late with five homers, 19 RBI and 10 runs over the last 11 games.

Anderson (ankle) took batting practice and went through mobility drills Saturday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Anderson sustained a high-ankle sprain June 25 in Boston and was given a 4-to-6-week prognosis. He's looking at a return around the end of the July and will likely require a rehab assignment.

Gordon went 0-for-3 with a stolen base in Saturday's 9-2 loss to the Angels.

Gordon reached on a fielder's choice in the seventh inning and promptly stole second base, his 16th stolen base this year. The second baseman is hitting .260/.290/.350 with 25 RBI and 25 runs scored in 70 games this season.

Correa (ribs) will begin a rehab assignment Monday with Triple-A Round Rock, Jake Kaplan of The Athletic reports.

Correa was originally expected to start the rehab stint Wednesday or soon after, but he'll instead kick things off a couple days earlier. The 24-year-old isn't eligible to be activated until July 26 due to his recent move to the 60-day injured list, so there will be no rush in getting him back up to speed.

Wendle went 2-for-5 with an RBI single, a double, a stolen base and a run in a win over the Orioles on Friday.

The versatile infielder endured a first half to forget, as he spent significant time sidelined by injury and struggled to find his timing at the plate as a result. However, in a testament to talent eventually rising to the forefront, Wendle appears to progressively be clawing himself out of the hole. Factoring in Friday's production, the 29-year-old is hitting .327 with five doubles, five RBI, three walks, four stolen bases and eight runs since June 22, a 13-game span during which he's boosted his season average 124 points to .211.

Bogaerts went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer in Friday's 8-1 win over the Dodgers.

Bogaerts provided the cushion with his seventh-inning homer -- his 18th of the season -- following an extended rain delay. He's closing in on a second consecutive 20-homer/100-RBI season. Over the past 10 games, Bogaerts has four homers and 17 RBI.
