Bogaerts went 1-for-5 with a two-run homer and walk in a 15-2 victory over the White Sox on Saturday.

With the Red Sox scoring 15 runs, it's a little disappointing Bogaerts didn't have more than one hit, but he did go deep during a nine-run third inning. Bogaerts is just 5-for-25 in his last six games, but three of those hits went for extra bases. Overall, he is batting .267 with five home runs, 18 RBI and 21 runs in 120 at-bats this season.

Mondesi went 2-for-4 with a double, a triple, three runs scored, three RBI and two walks in Saturday's 15-2 win over the Tigers.

Mondesi went 0-for-8 with five strikeouts over the last two contests but got back on track as he reached base four times Saturday. The 23-year-old is slashing .284/.320/.522 with four home runs and 10 stolen bases over 33 games.

Adames went 2-for-3 with a walk and two runs in a win over the Orioles on Friday.

Adames continued to make noise out of the bottom of the order, extending his hot start to the new month in the process. Adames is 5-for-11 with a double, two RBI, a walk and three runs over the first three games of May, raising his season average 28 points over that stretch.

Gordon went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in a loss to the Indians on Friday.

Gordon led off and produced one of only two multi-hit efforts for the Mariners. The speedy keeper of the keystone is now slashing .304/.331/.400 over 126 plate appearances following his third multi-hit tally in four games, and he's logged an impressive 90.0 percent success rate on his 10 stolen-base attempts thus far.

Diaz started at third base and went 2-for-4 in Thursday's 8-2 loss to the Twins.

The start was Diaz's third straight, following a start at first base and his first-career start in left field. Manager AJ Hinch has had difficulty trying to find him regular at-bats, so this may be a concerted effort to get Diaz's bat going. The 28-year-old utility player has hit groundballs on 53.7 percent of his batted balls, 13 points higher than his rate as a regular with the Blue Jays last season and nearly 10 points higher than his career rate. Unless Houston has to deal with a starter's injury, Diaz will need to be content playing 2-to-3 times per week.

Correa is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Twins, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

The star shortstop will pick up a scheduled rest day with the Astros concluding their series in Minnesota with a day game after a night contest. Alex Bregman will shift over from third base to cover Correa's usual spot in the field, opening up a spot in the lineup for Aledmys Diaz.

Diaz started in left field and went 1-for-4 with an RBI in Wednesday's 6-2 loss to the Twins.

Manager AJ Hinch wanted to rest Michael Brantley and Josh Reddick, a pair of left-handed hitters, so the right-handed hitting Diaz was part of an all-righty lineup against Minnesota southpaw Martin Perez. It was the second straight day that Diaz has been in the starting lineup, his first back-to-back starts since the first two games of the season. The Astros' original plan was to have Diaz get ample time in the outfield, though the idea was scuttled during spring training, per Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle.

Mondesi went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in a 3-2 victory against the Rays in the first game of a doubleheader Wednesday.

While he only had one hit in the matinee, Mondesi is still hitting .342 (13-for-38) in the last nine games. During that stretch, he has four extra-base hits, including two homers. He only has four home runs this year, but thanks to six doubles and five triples, Mondesi is slugging .521 with a .286 batting average. He's been a strong fantasy asset early this year with 26 RBI, 17 runs and eight stolen bases as well.

Owings is not in the lineup for Game 2 of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Rays.

Owings will head to the bench after going 0-for-3 with a pair of strikeouts in the first game of Wednesday's twin bill. Jorge Soler is starting in right field and batting cleanup.

Adames is not in the lineup for Game 2 of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Royals, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Adames will head to the bench for the second half of Wednesday's twin bill after going 2-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Game 1. Daniel Robertson is starting at shortstop and hitting sixth in his stead.
