Wendle went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's loss to the White Sox.

The infielder provided the Marlins with their only offense when he took Dylan Cease deep in the fifth inning. It's Wendle's first homer of the year, and it extended his modest hit streak to six games -- a stretch in which he's gone 10-for-23 (.435) with four doubles and eight runs scored.

Lindor went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's loss to the Pirates.

The shortstop seems to have found his power stroke, as six of his 12 homers on the year have come in his last 17 games. Unfortunately, Lindor's luck on balls that stay in the park hasn't been as good. During that stretch, he's slashing just .200/.264/.492 with one steal, nine runs and 11 RBI.

Bogaerts went 2-for-5 with a double and two runs scored in Friday's 9-6 win over the Rockies.

Bogaerts had been out since June 3 while dealing with a wrist injury, but he was able to play all of Friday's game at shortstop. It's a nagging injury that has bothered him for much of the season, so he may not be clear of it, but it appears the 30-year-old will try to power through. He's posted five multi-hit efforts over his last 16 games, but he's hit just .222 (14-for-63) in that span, lowering his season slash line to .256/.339/.393 through 58 contests.

Schmitt is hitting eighth and playing third base versus the Cubs on Friday.

Schmitt was originally out of the lineup for the series opener against the Cubs, but he's hitting eighth and playing third base after J.D. Davis was scratched from the lineup due to right hip tightness.

Schmitt isn't starting Friday against the Cubs, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Schmitt is just 1-for-14 with two RBI across his last four games, so he'll get a day off Friday to regroup. Brandon Crawford will take Schmitt's place at shortstop and bat ninth.

Bogaerts (wrist) is starting at shorstop Friday against the Rockies.

Bogaerts' sore left wrist has kept him out of San Diego's last four games, but it seems he's feeling good enough to suit up. The 30-year-old shortstop has been playing through the wrist issue all year and was in a cold spell at the plate prior to his recent absence, slashing .185/.214/.259 across his last 14 games.

Crawford went 1-for-1 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Thursday's victory over the Rockies.

Pinch-hitting for Casey Schmitt in the ninth inning, Crawford delivered an RBI double off Pierce Johnson to tie the game at 4-4 before scoring on Joc Pederson's two-out base hit. The 36-year-old Crawford had been stuck in a 1-for-13 slump coming into Thursday's contest while retreating to a part-time role. Overall, he's slashing just .195/.283/.354 with four homers, 15 RBI and 12 runs scored through 127 plate appearances this season.

Arcia went 3-for-5 with a home run and two RBI in a 10-inning with over the Mets on Thursday.

The shortstop singled home a run in the third inning and came through with a game-tying solo homer with one out in the bottom of the ninth off Mets closer David Robertson. The long ball was Arcia's first since May 17, a span of 19 games. Despite the recent power drought, he's been hitting pretty well, slashing .309/.356/.368 over that stretch.

Rojas (neck) is not in the lineup for Thursday's game in Cincinnati.

Rojas exited Wednesday's contest versus the Reds with neck tightness and will miss at least one start. The Dodgers will go with Chris Taylor at shortstop for Thursday's afternoon tilt.

Rojas left Wednesday's game against the Reds due to neck tightness.

It's unclear how severe Rojas' injury is at the moment, but the Dodgers should provide additional updates in the near future. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for the time being.
