Bogaerts went 2-for-3 with a three-run home run in Tuesday's 11-4 win over the Nationals.

The home run was Bogaerts' 13th of the season -- his first since June 17 -- and broke the game open to give the Red Sox a 9-2 lead during a six-run fifth inning. The 25-year-old has a .276/.341/.504 slash line over 272 at-bats in 2018.

Mondesi will start at shortstop for Tuesday's game against the Indians, Jeffrey Flanagan of MLB.com reports.

Mondesi was set to ride the bench Tuesday but Mike Moustakas was a late scratch due to back spasms, pressing the 22-year-old into the lineup.

Mondesi is not starting Tuesday against Cleveland, Jeffrey Flanagan of MLB.com reports.

Mondesi has played regularly since his mid-June callup but hasn't done much with the bat, hitting just .184/.205/.342 in 12 games. Alcides Escobar will start at shortstop Tuesday.

Diaz is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Mets.

Diaz will sit for the first time since returning from an ankle injury June 1. Lourdes Gurriel will get the start at shortstop.

Adames is not starting Tuesday against the Marlins, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

The young infielder is hitting a somewhat disappointing .225/.282/.338 through his first 20 major-league games, striking out 35.9 percent of the time. Adeiny Hechavarria will start at shortstop Tuesday.

Lindor went 2-for-4 with a pair of home runs, a career-high seven RBI and three runs in Monday's 9-3 win over the Royals.

Lindor broke the game open with a grand slam in the fourth inning and knocked Royals starter Jakob Junis out of the game with a three-run blast in the sixth inning. It was the shortstop's third consecutive game with a home run, with Lindor tallying six extra-base hits over that span. The power surge has lifted Lindor's OPS to a career-best .954, good for eighth in the majors among qualified hitters.

Adrianza was placed on the 10-day disabled list Monday with a left hamstring strain.

It's unclear how serious Adrianza's injury is or how long he'll be out. When he returns, it will likely be in a utility role, as starting shortstop Jorge Polanco was reinstated from his suspension Monday.

Wendle is not in the lineup Monday against the left-handed Wei-Yin Chen and the Marlins, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Wendle has still yet to start against a southpaw this season. Daniel Robertson gets the nod in left field in his place.

Wendle went 2-for-4 with a run in a win over the Astros on Sunday.

Wendle hit leadoff for just the third time this season and was able to extend his hitting streak to four games in the process. The 28-year-old continues to carve out playing time for himself with defensive versatility, as he's now drawn three straight starts in left field, adding to a resume that already includes time at second base, third base and shortstop.

Lindor went 3-for-4 with a pair of doubles, four runs and two RBI in Cleveland's 15-3 romp over Oakland on Sunday.

It was a monster day for Cleveland's offense spearheaded by its dynamic shortstop, who lashed two doubles and scored four of the team's 15 runs from atop the order. Lindor has further established himself as one of the premier offensive talents at the position this season, as he's in the midst of a fabulous campaign that has seen him post a .296/.372/.564 slash line to go along with 21 homers, 48 RBI and a league-leading 70 runs through 81 games.
