Bogaerts went 2-for-5 with three RBI in Monday's 5-4 loss to the Indians.

Bogaerts put the Red Sox on top early with a two-run, first-inning single and later brought them within a run with a ninth-inning single. The three RBI give him 12 runs knocked in over the last 11 games. As Boston's No. 5 hitter, he's uniquely positioned to establish a new career high in RBI. Three of MLB's top 19 hitters in on-base percentage bat in front of Bogaerts, giving him ample opportunities to drive in runs. And he's taken advantage of his placement, cranking out a 1.226 OPS with runners in scoring position.

Mondesi is not in the lineup Monday against the Rays, Joel Goldberg of FOX Sports Kansas City reports.

Mondesi had a four-hit outburst Tuesday against the Blue Jays but since then has grabbed just one hit in four games. Alcides Escobar will play shortstop in his place Monday.

Anderson went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 7-6 win over Kansas City.

Anderson's two-run bomb was one of three the White Sox hit in the fourth inning to wipe out a six-run deficit. It was his 16th of the season, but just his third in the last 45 games. He's still too much of a free-swinger, but Anderson is knocking on the door of a 20-homer/20-stolen base season. That should be enough to overlook the 25-year-old's propensity to swing at pitches outside the zone, which has contributed to a 115:26 K:BB and substandard .294 OBP.

Wendle went 1-for-4 with a solo homer in Sunday's 2-0 win over the Red Sox.

Wendle took Hector Velazquez deep in the second inning to put the Rays on the board. The 28-year-old has been dialed in to start the month, hitting .327/.356/.545 with two homers, 12 RBI and a stolen base across 15 games.

Urena is out of the lineup Sunday against the Yankees, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

The move to the bench ends a streak of four straight starts for Urena, who went 3-for-13 with a double and a run scored over that span. Despite the heightened workload of late, Urena projects to serve as the Blue Jays' top backup at both middle-infield spots going forward until the team gets one of Yangervis Solarte (oblique), Lourdes Gurriel (ankle) or Brandon Drury (hand) back from the disabled list.

Adames is out of the lineup Sunday against the Red Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Mired in a 1-for-13 slump at the dish over the past four games, Adames will be given a day off to clear his mind. Joey Wendle shifts over to shortstop in place of Adames, opening up a spot at the keystone for Brandon Lowe.

Lindor is out of the lineup Sunday against the Orioles.

Lindor will check out of the starting nine for the first time since May 30 in what likely amounts to a routine off-day, as there was no indication he sustained an injury in Saturday's 4-2 loss. Erik Gonzalez will pick up a rare start at shortstop in Lindor's stead and bat ninth.

Fletcher went 2-for-4 with a double, three RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 11-7 win over the Rangers.

Fletcher stepped into the box with the bases loaded in the fourth inning and proceeded to drive in all three baserunners with a double off of Martin Perez. The rookie has taken over at second base for the Halos, starting 16 of the club's 17 contests in August. Fletcher isn't providing much in terms of power (.357 slugging percentage), but he should continue to get everyday opportunities to prove his worth down the stretch.

Anderson went 3-for-3 with a double, a triple, a walk, an RBI, two stolen bases and three runs scored in Friday's win over the Royals.

It was a great offensive game all around for the 25-year-old, as he slashed his 20th double and his third triple on the year while picking up his 23rd and 24th stolen bases. Anderson has recorded multi-hit games in three of his last four contests and is now slashing .247/.293/.413 on the season. He has 15 home runs, 49 RBI and 63 runs in his third major-league season.

Diaz went 1-for-3 with two RBI in Friday's 7-5 loss to New York.

Diaz delivered a two-run single to center field in the first to cap off a four-run first inning, but the Yankees would rally to nab the victory. With Yangervis Solarte (oblique), Brandon Drury (hand) and Lourdes Gurriel (ankle) all on the 10-day disabled list, Diaz should see plenty of starts throughout the infield until his teammates return to health. The 28-year-old shortstop is slashing .256/.291/.453 with a .744 OPS through 93 games this season
