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.

Correa went 1-for-5 with a three-RBI double and a run scored in Monday's 11-4 win over the Angels.

Correa hit the bases-loaded double in the sixth inning to give the Astros a more comfortable lead. He then came around to score on a Kyle Tucker double to make it a 9-4 lead at the time. The 25-year-old Correa is slashing .295/.373/.438 with three homers, 19 RBI, 12 runs scored and six doubles in 29 contests.

Edman went 2-for-4 with two singles, an RBI, two runs scored and a walk in Monday's win over the Royals.

Edman shifted to second base with Kolten Wong getting the night off Monday. He reached base three times, increasing his on-base percentage to .313 on the campaign. Expect Edman to receive most of his playing time at third base going forward, with Wong likely returning to the lineup Tuesday.

Adames went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 6-4 loss to the Blue Jays.

Adames slugged a two-run homer to right field in the fourth inning, giving his club a 3-1 lead. In his third season of big-league action, the 24-year-old shortstop is slashing .295/.386/.534 with three home runs, 10 RBI and a stolen base through 28 games.

Baez went 3-for-5 with two home runs and three RBI in Monday's 9-3 win over the Tigers.

Baez went to work against the Detroit bullpen, hitting a two-run shot off Tyler Alexander in the fourth inning then following that up with a solo home run against John Schreiber in the ninth. The 27-year-old shortstop is still off to a slow start by his standards with a .219 batting average and .684 OPS, but a game like this could be just what he needs to get rolling.

DeJong, who was activated from the COVID-19 injured list earlier in the day, went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in a win over the Reds on Sunday.

DeJong was logging his first game action since July 29, so it isn't surprising his timing may have been a bit off. The slugging shortstop should be primed for his usual everyday role moving forward.

Wendle will start at second base and will bat sixth Monday against the Blue Jays, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Wendle has seemingly supplanted Hunter Renfroe as a mainstay in the Tampa Bay lineup against right-handed pitching. Brandon Lowe will shift to the right field while Renfroe sits for the second straight day, paving the way for Wendle to pick up another start at the keystone. Over his 58 plate appearances versus righties this season, Wendle is slashing .264/.328/.434 (111 wRC+).

Amaya was added to the Dodgers' 60-man player pool Monday, Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times reports.

He will report to the Dodgers' alternate training site at USC after being a non-roster invitee during spring training. Amaya, who turns 22 on Sept. 3, has displayed excellent plate skills in the minors, but he has never posted an ISO higher than .132 in full-season ball. He most recently hit .250/.307/.375 with one home run and one steal in 21 games at High-A.

Seager went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in an 11-3 victory over Colorado on Sunday.

Seager gave the Dodgers an early lead with his solo shot in the first inning. The long ball was the seventh of the season for the shortstop, who is hitting homers this season at nearly the twice the frequency (13.4 AB/HR) as his career average (24.4 AB/HR). Seager's Statcast numbers back up the improvement -- he ranks in the 95th percentile in barrel rate (19.5 percent), the 97th percentile in hard-hit percentage (56.1 percent) and the 96th percentile in average exit velocity (93.9 mph). He also ranks second in MLB with a .780 xSLG.
