Edman went 2-for-5 with a double and a two-run home run in Monday's 12-5 win over the Nationals.

Getting the start in right field and hitting in his usual leadoff spot, the 25-year-old took Joe Ross deep in the third inning -- one of five homers by the Cards on the night. Edman has had a strong start to the season, slashing .294/.351/.441 through 16 games with two home runs, three steals, four RBI and eight runs.

DeJong went 2-for-4 with two home runs, a walk, five RBI and three runs scored in Monday's 12-5 win over the Nationals.

The shortstop took Joe Ross deep in the second and fifth innings, with the latter shot a grand slam that blew the game wide open. DeJong has a modest six-game hitting streak going that includes three homers over the last three days, pushing his slash line up to .189/.317/.472.

Seager went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer and a walk in Monday's 4-3 loss to the Mariners.

Seager's only hard contact of the night came in the third inning when he took Justus Sheffield deep to center field to cut the Dodgers' deficit to 3-2. He had a chance to make some more noise with two men on and one out in the ninth but grounded into a 4-6-3 double play to end the game. The long ball has been Seager's only source of production lately, as the 26-year-old has just two hits (both home runs) in his last 18 at-bats. He'll look to get things rolling again in Tuesday's series finale before the Padres come to town Thursday for a highly anticipated four-game series.

Anderson went 3-for-4 with a double, a run scored and two stolen bases in Monday's 11-4 loss to Boston.

Anderson got the White Sox up in the first inning, when he singled and scored on an RBI double from Luis Robert. That lead was quickly and emphatically lost in the bottom half of the inning, as Boston scored six runs. Since coming off the injured list, Anderson is 9-for-18 with a double, a home run, two RBI, five runs scored, and three steals.

DeJong, who went 1-for-3 with two strikeouts in a loss to the Phillies on Sunday, has a five-game hitting streak but just a .163/.293/.347 slash across 58 plate appearances.

DeJong's trio of home runs have prevented the early portion of his season from being a complete fantasy wasteland, but he's done little else to redeem himself to those who invested some draft capital in him. Even the struggling shortstop's current five-game hit streak is comprised entirely of one-hit outings and four singles outside of a solo homer. As was often the case last season, lack of consistent contact has been a pervasive problem for DeJong -- he's currently sporting a career-worst 34.5 percent strikeout rate.

Wendle went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in a win over the Yankees on Sunday.

The hot-hitting infielder launched his second round tripper in as many days off Darren O'Day in the visitors' half of the ninth, giving the Rays a valuable insurance run. Wendle carries a six-game hitting streak and .340/.365/.600 slash across 52 plate appearances into the start of a three-game set against the Royals on Monday night.

Manager Mike Matheny said Monday that Mondesi (elbow) hasn't yet resumed swinging, Lynn Worthy of The Kansas City Star reports.

Mondesi recently started doing some activities, but Matheny said that the 25-year-old has only been doing limited controlled movement. Mondesi has been sidelined since the start of the regular season due to a right oblique strain, and the team hasn't yet established a timetable for his return. Nicky Lopez should continue to fill in as the primary shortstop while Mondesi is unavailable.

Bogaerts is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the White Sox, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

With Boston's annual Patriots Day game starting at 11:10 a.m. local time, manager Alex Cora likely just wanted to give Bogaerts some maintenance due to the quick turnaround from Sunday's doubleheader. Bogaerts started in both ends of the twin bill, going a collective 1-for-6 on the day. Marwin Gonzalez will spell Bogaerts at shortstop in the series finale.

Adrianza went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Sunday's 13-4 win over the Cubs.

Making a start at second base for the injured Ozzie Albies (calf), Adrianza ensured the Atlanta offense didn't miss a beat. He slugged one of four home runs off Cubs ace Kyle Hendricks in the first inning, staking Atlanta to an early lead that it wouldn't relinquish. Adrianza took advantage of Albies' absence over the weekend to rack up four hits and three RBI across his three starts, and the utility man could continue to see steady work during the upcoming week even if Albies returns for Tuesday's game against the Yankees. Adrianza ended up shifting to right field later in Sunday's contest after Ronald Acuna (abdomen) exited the contest, and the 23-year-old phenom looks like he could be at risk of a trip to the injured list.

Diaz started at second base and went 1-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Sunday's 7-2 loss to the Mariners.

Diaz's second-inning double, Houston's lone hit, plated Carlos Correa to briefly knot the game at one run apiece. The offense could continue to slumber this week with a minor-league contingent filling in for three players unavailable due to health and safety protocols -- Jose Altuve, Alex Bregman and Yordan Alvarez. Diaz has alternated between third and second base and should continue to be an everyday presence at least through the rest of the road trip that ends Wednesday in Colorado.
