  • Red Sox's Xander Bogaerts: Extends on-base streak

    Bogaerts went 2-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Astros.

    Bogaerts was key in a comeback win. The Red Sox had fallen behind, 3-1, before the shortstop delivered a two-out, game-tying run in the fifth inning. He later drove in the go-ahead run, again a two-out hit, doubling in Mookie Betts. Bogaerts has reached base safely in 10 straight games -- 22 times in his last 38 plate appearances. He's 13-for-38 (.342) with nine walks and nine runs scored during the streak.

    Astros' Aledmys Diaz: Unlikely to play Monday

    Diaz (hamstring) is not expected to play Monday but will undergo a full workout prior to the game against the White Sox, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Pending how Diaz responds to the workout, he could return to the lineup Tuesday or Wednesday. Diaz has been thrust into a full-time role while second baseman Jose Altuve works his way back from a hamstring injury. With George Springer (back) unavailable Monday, the Astros are dangerously thin on position players, so it wouldn't be shocking if Diaz attempts to play.

    Astros' Carlos Correa: Smacks 11th homer

    Correa went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Sunday against the Red Sox.

    Correa took Chris Sale deep in the third inning to record his 11th home run of the season. He has now reached base in eight consecutive starts, highlighted by three multi-hit games. After battling injury for much of last season, Correa has rebounded to post an excellent .295/.357/.578 line across 185 plate appearances this season.

    Astros' Aledmys Diaz: Sidelined by hamstring issue

    Diaz (hamstring) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    The Astros have classified Diaz's hamstring strain as a minor one, but the injury will nonetheless keep him on the bench for a second straight contest. Yuli Gurriel will receive the start at second base with Diaz considered day-to-day and Jose Altuve (hamstring) still stuck on the injured list.

    Astros' Aledmys Diaz: Out with minor hamstring strain

    Diaz will sit Saturday against the Red Sox due to a Grade 1 left hamstring strain, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    The injury forced Diaz to leave Friday's contest early and will keep him out for at least one more game, but he doesn't expect to require a trip to the injured list. Yuli Gurriel will play second base Saturday, with Tyler White starting at first.

    Blue Jays' Bo Bichette: Ramping up activity

    Bichette (hand) will begin a hitting progression next week, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    He has been cleared for light activities after suffering a broken hand in late April. Bichette could return to action at Triple-A Buffalo at some point in June. From there, it's possible the Blue Jays could promote him to the majors when he appears ready, but nothing is guaranteed, especially given how they handled the Vladimir Guerrero Jr. situation last year.

  • Royals' Adalberto Mondesi: Steals two bases

    Mondesi went 1-for-3 with two stolen bases, a walk and a run scored in Friday's loss to the Angels.

    The speedster now has a league-high 17 stolen bases on the year and is batting .277 with five homers, 36 RBI and 25 runs scored.

  • Mariners' Dee Gordon: Swipes bag

    Gordon went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and a run in Friday's 7-1 loss to the Twins.

    Gordon's 12th steal of the year came in the third inning after he got aboard with a single. He later scored in the fifth inning on an Edwin Encarnacion single. Gordon is hitting .301 with 16 runs scored and 19 RBI over 40 games this season.

    Twins' Ehire Adrianza: Big night versus Mariners

    Adrianza went 2-for-3 with a home run, two RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 7-1 win over the Mariners.

    Adrianza opened the scoring with a solo home run in the third inning, and then knocked in first baseman C.J. Cron with a sacrifice fly in the fourth inning. The infielder started at third base and batted eighth in the contest. Adrianza is hitting .200 with three homers, six RBI and 10 runs scored over 65 at-bats this season.

    Astros' Aledmys Diaz: Dealing with hamstring discomfort

    Diaz left Friday's game against the Red Sox with left hamstring discomfort, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

    Diaz will be considered day-to-day until more information on his injury is revealed. He's scheduled to have an MRI on Saturday morning.
