Bogaerts went 3-for-5 with a double and two runs scored in Tuesday's 9-7 win over the Blue Jays.

Five different Red Sox had multi-hit nights, but it was Bogaerts who led the hit parade. The 27-year-old is slashing a dynamic .355/.400/.613 over his last eight games with two homers, five runs and six RBI.

Lindor went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in a victory over Minnesota on Tuesday.

Lindor gave the team it would did not relinquish with a two-run shot to right field in the sixth inning. The blast was his fifth of the season and his first homer and RBI since Aug. 16. Lindor is slashing .254/.316/.426 on the season.

Crawford went 2-for-4 with a walk, a home run, three RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's win over the Padres.

Crawford had fallen ice cold after a hot start, managing just two hits in his last 33 at-bats entering play Tuesday. He drew a walk off Chris Paddack in his first plate appearance and then homered on a Paddack fastball the next inning, Crawford's first long ball of the season. He's still a work in progress at the plate, but the Mariners aren't going anywhere and have nothing to lose by giving Crawford everyday at-bats.

Berti went 0-for-1 with three stolen bases, two runs scored and a pair of walks in a 4-0 win over the Mets in the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader.

Berti was a menace on the basepaths in the sixth inning. He drew a walk, then stole second, third and home against the Mets' battery of Jeurys Familia and rookie catcher Ali Sanchez. The crazy sequence gave Berti eight stolen bases, 14 runs scored, six RBI and a homer in 19 games this season. The defensively versatile 30-year-old will likely continue to earn playing time with a spot at the top of the batting order.

Mondesi went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Tuesday's win over the Cardinals.

It's been a colossal struggle at the plate for Mondesi so far this season -- he has a walk rate under two percent and entered this game with a 35 wRC+, the lowest mark among all qualified hitters. He's making up for those struggles to an extent in rotisserie leagues with seven bags in 11 attempts, but if Mondesi can't provide anything more with the bat, his playing time will eventually take a hit.

Rojas is not in the lineup for Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Mets, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Rojas will receive the night off after going 1-for-3 with two RBI in the matinee. Jonathan Villar will shift to shortstop for Game 2, with Logan Forsythe starting at the keystone.

Bichette (knee) is progressing well and could begin baseball activities this weekend, Scott Mitchell of TSN.ca reports.

If he is hopeful to begin baseball activities this weekend, that likely rules out an August return, and it seems more likely we see him in early-to-mid September if all goes well. Santiago Espinal will continue to fill in for Bichette at shortstop for the time being.

Story went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Monday's 3-2 win over the Diamondbacks.

Story gave the Rockies an early lead with a solo shot off Diamondbacks starter Taylor Clarke in the first inning. That was Story's ninth homer of the year. He's batting .297/.362/.602 with 18 RBI, 26 runs scored and five stolen bases across 29 games. He's gone 6-for-21 (.286) with two homers, three RBI and four runs scored during his current five-game hitting streak.

Fletcher went 3-for-5 with an RBI single and a run scored in Monday's 11-4 loss to the Astros.

Fletcher plated Andrelton Simmons with an infield single in the third inning. In the fifth, Fletcher got aboard with another single and scored on Anthony Rendon's single. In his last six games, Fletcher has recorded four multi-hit efforts. He's produced 10 multi-hit games in 30 contests this year. He's slashing .317/.380/.460 with three homers, two stolen bases, 11 RBI and 20 runs scored.

DeJong went 1-for-3 with a double, three RBI, a run scored and a walk in Monday's 9-3 win over the Royals.

After going hitless in his return from the COVID-19 injured list Sunday, DeJong was able to contribute to a Cardinals' win with some nice at-bats Monday. He got the Redbirds on the board with a sacrifice fly in the first and extended the lead to 4-0 with a two-run double in the fifth. The shortstop has six hits in 25 at-bats this season.
