Bogaerts went 2-for-4 with a home run, double and another run scored in Sunday's win over the Yankees.

Batting cleanup, Bogaerts homered in the fourth off CC Sabathia and added a leadoff double off reliever David Hale in the eighth to cap another successful night at the plate. The 26-year-old has been a pivotal member of Boston's powerful lineup this season, slashing .305/.386/.550 with 12 home runs, 47 runs scored and 39 RBI.

Gordon (wrist) took swings in the batting cage for a second straight day Saturday and is likely to take full batting practice Monday, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.

Gordon has successful back-to-back sessions in the cage, so his recovering wrist apparently is holding up well. A full batting practice Monday would represent another step in the right direction for Gordon and likely leave him just a handful of days away from activation.

Crawford went 2-for-5 with two solo home runs Sunday against the Orioles.

Crawford took Gabriel Ynoa and Dan Straily deep in the sixth and eighth innings respectively. He now has five home runs on the season, all of which have come since May 5. His overall numbers remain uninspiring, however, as he's hitting .214/.285/.333 across 214 plate appearances.

Anderson went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double and two RBI in Sunday's 2-0 win over the Indians.

Anderson supplied all the offense Lucas Giolito needed with a fourth-inning solo shot, then he later delivered an insurance run in eighth. The free-swinging shortstop has improved his contact rate (78.7 percent, up from 73.7 in 2018), which shows in a higher batting average (.330, up from .240) and a drop in strikeout rate (19.2 K%, down from 24.6).

Bogaerts went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, double and another run in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Yankees.

The hottest hitter in the Boston lineup, Bogaerts has now churned out nine extra-base hits in his last 14 starts, amassing a .400/.438/.700 slash line over that stretch. He'll look to keep wielding a hot bat while starting at shortstop and serving as Boston's cleanup hitter in Sunday's series finale, according to Ian Browne of MLB.com.

Camargo will start in right field and bat seventh Sunday against the Tigers, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Camargo saw semi-regular action in the first month of the season as a super-utility player, but the arrival of prospect Austin Riley has effectively ended any opportunity for the 25-year-old to see even a couple starts per week. He'll enter the lineup for the first time since May 21 with Nick Markakis getting a day off against a tough left-hander in Tigers hurler Matthew Boyd.

Story is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

Story started the first 51 games of the season at shortstop for the Rockies, but he'll give way to Brendan Rodgers on Sunday for the second time in the last seven contests. Story has broken out over the last four games by going 11-for-18 with three doubles, a triple, two home runs and seven RBI.

Baez (heel) is starting at shortstop and batting cleanup Sunday at St. Louis.

Baez was scratched from Saturday's lineup with a bruised right heel and did not make an appearance in the contest. The 26-year-old has battled the heel issue over the last couple weeks, but he is apparently good to go for the series finale after taking a day to rest. Baez was 7-for-35 with two homers and 18 strikeouts in the nine games since the heel previously kept him out of the lineup.

Mondesi went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in a 6-2 loss against the Rangers on Saturday.

His three thefts over his past two games have pushed him to 21 stolen bases for the season. That leads all of baseball, and it's not close, as Mondesi has a six-bag lead on Tim Anderson. Mondesi is also hitting .287 with six home runs, 42 RBI and 24 runs in 230 at-bats this season.

Arcia went 2-for-6 with two home runs, four RBI, three runs and a walk during a 12-10 extra-innings victory against the Pirates on Saturday.

The Brewers shortstop helped Milwaukee take a five-run lead in the first three innings with his first two-run shot. Then in the 13th, he went deep again. This was Arcia's first two-homer game of the season, and actually, he only had two long balls in the entire month of May. Clearly, he's off to a strong start in June. Arcia is batting .264 with eight homers, 25 RBI, 26 runs and two steals in 197 at-bats this year.
