Bogaerts is not in the lineup against Detroit on Saturday.

Bogaerts will draw his first day off since May 26, coming off a four-RBI performance Friday. That was a continuation of what has been a strong season for Bogaerts, as he's currently hitting .295/.385/.535 across 384 plate appearances. Brock Holt will start at shortstop and bat seventh in his place.

Mondesi went 3-for-6 with a triple, a double, two RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base in a 7-4 win over the Nationals on Friday.

Mondesi got the Royals bats going with an RBI triple in the third inning to tie the game at 1-1, and he extended the lead after following up a fifth-inning double with a stolen base and scoring on an ensuing single. After the Nationals rallied to tie the game in the ninth inning, the young shortstop hit a clutch go-ahead RBI single in the 11th inning to help secure the win. Since returning from a groin injury that cost the 23-year-old two weeks in June, Mondesi has five hits and six RBI in 20 at-bats. He's now slashing .269/.299/.450 on the year and has stolen a major-league-leading 28 bases.

Bogaerts went 1-for-4 with a homer, a walk and four RBI in Friday's win over Detroit.

Bogaerts opened the scoring with an RBI groundout in the first inning. He later stretched Boston's lead to four with a three-run shot in the top of the eighth. He now has 17 homers on the season, just six shy of his career high.

Crawford went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and two RBI in the Mariners' 5-4 loss to the Cardinals on Thursday.

The young shortstop checked in with his fourth long ball of the season with this first-inning solo shot off Michael Wacha. Crawford has been impressive at the dish since he was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma in May, as he's now slashing .290/.361/.486 over 151 plate appearances.

Adames is not in Wednesday's lineup against the Orioles, Steve Carney of Sports Radio 620 WDAE reports.

He is hitting .216 with 15 strikeouts over his last 10 games, but also has three home runs over that stretch. Joey Wendle starts at second base while Michael Brosseau gets the nod at the keystone.

Fletcher went 1-for-4 with a double, two walks and three runs Tuesday in the Angels' 9-4 win over the Rangers.

The Angels' main leadoff man versus left-handed pitching, Fletcher once again got the job while slotting in atop the lineup. Fletcher's place in the starting nine is less secure when right-handers are on the mound for the opposition, though there could be regular room for both him and Luis Rengifo if the shin injury Tommy La Stella suffered Tuesday necessitates a trip to the 10-day injured list.

Gordon (quadriceps) went 1-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base, an RBI and a run Tuesday in the Mariners' 5-4 win over the Cardinals.

Monday's off day afforded Gordon enough time to recover from the quad injury he sustained in Saturday's extra-inning loss to Houston. The veteran missed just one start due to the injury, which didn't seem to hamper him on the bases Tuesday while he added another steal to his ledger. He's now 15-for-17 on stolen-base attempts this season, with his 88.2 percent success rate representing a new career best.

Velazquez (undisclosed) was traded from Tampa Bay to Cleveland on Wednesday in exchange for international bonus pool money.

The 24-year-old utility man has just 24 big-league plate appearances to his name and hasn't done much with them, slashing .182/.250/.273. He owns a respectable .271/.329/.450 slash line for Triple-A Durham this season. He'll be assigned to the minor-league injured list with Triple-A Columbus due to an undisclosed injury.

Wendle went 1-for-2 with a double, two walks, two stolen bases and a run in a win over the Orioles on Tuesday.

Wendle's final line had to have fantasy managers wistfully reminiscing about last season, as the versatile infielder put on a performance worthy of his breakout 2018. Those have been very few and far between for Wendle thus far in an injury-shortened season, most clearly evidenced by his .184/.276/.237 line through 87 plate appearances. Obscured in those abysmal numbers is the fact Wendle seems to be breaking out of his early skid, however -- factoring in Tuesday's performance, he's hitting .333 (10-for-30) with three doubles, two RBI, three walks, three stolen bases and four runs over his last nine games.

Mondesi went 1-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Tuesday's 9-5 loss to Cleveland.

The shortstop celebrated his return from the IL with a two-run blast off Trevor Bauer in the fifth inning. Mondesi is now slashing .269/.301/.449 through 72 games with seven homers, 27 steals, 41 runs and 47 RBI.
