Fletcher went 3-for-5 with a triple, two RBI, a run scored and a strikeout in Tuesday's loss to the Diamondbacks.

Fletcher singled home a run in the third inning and came around to score in the frame, then later provided a game-tying triple with two outs in the seventh. The 24-year-old is riding a seven-game hitting streak -- with multi-hit efforts in five of those -- to bring his slash line to .278/.321/.381.

Swanson was 2-for-4 with two two-run home runs in Tuesday's 6-1 win at Pittsburgh.

The two-homer effort was Swanson's first of the season and brings his season total to 12. The 24-year-old has a .245/.301/.410 slash line for the season with 52 RBI and five stolen bases.

Vincej was designated for assignment by the Mariners on Tuesday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Vincej had his contract purchased in late July but only remained in the majors a couple days while Kyle Seager was on the paternity list. Ross Detwiler was added to the 40-man roster in a corresponding move.

Crawford will be on the bench Tuesday against the Mets, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Crawford has just two hits in his last six games. Alen Hanson will start at shortstop in his place Tuesday, with Hunter Pence starting in Hanson's typical spot in left field.

Rojas (ankle) remains out of the starting lineup Tuesday against the Yankees, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.

Rojas bruised his ankle back on Aug. 13 and hasn't started since, but he's been able to come off the bench on three occasions. It's unclear if he remains injured or if he's simply been removed from the lineup in favor of JT Riddle, who has now started eight straight games at shortstop.

Bogaerts went 2-for-5 with three RBI in Monday's 5-4 loss to the Indians.

Bogaerts put the Red Sox on top early with a two-run, first-inning single and later brought them within a run with a ninth-inning single. The three RBI give him 12 runs knocked in over the last 11 games. As Boston's No. 5 hitter, he's uniquely positioned to establish a new career high in RBI. Three of MLB's top 19 hitters in on-base percentage bat in front of Bogaerts, giving him ample opportunities to drive in runs. And he's taken advantage of his placement, cranking out a 1.226 OPS with runners in scoring position.

Mondesi is not in the lineup Monday against the Rays, Joel Goldberg of FOX Sports Kansas City reports.

Mondesi had a four-hit outburst Tuesday against the Blue Jays but since then has grabbed just one hit in four games. Alcides Escobar will play shortstop in his place Monday.

Anderson went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 7-6 win over Kansas City.

Anderson's two-run bomb was one of three the White Sox hit in the fourth inning to wipe out a six-run deficit. It was his 16th of the season, but just his third in the last 45 games. He's still too much of a free-swinger, but Anderson is knocking on the door of a 20-homer/20-stolen base season. That should be enough to overlook the 25-year-old's propensity to swing at pitches outside the zone, which has contributed to a 115:26 K:BB and substandard .294 OBP.

Arcia went 1-for-4 with a stolen base Sunday against the Cardinals.

The Brewers' crowded infield has frequently forced Arcia out of the lineup, leaving him to enter games primarily as a pinch hitter or defensive replacement. However, he earned his second consecutive start Sunday and took advantage by swiping his fifth base of the season. He's put together a disappointing season but is 9-for-26 with a home run and two stolen bases in August.

Wendle went 1-for-4 with a solo homer in Sunday's 2-0 win over the Red Sox.

Wendle took Hector Velazquez deep in the second inning to put the Rays on the board. The 28-year-old has been dialed in to start the month, hitting .327/.356/.545 with two homers, 12 RBI and a stolen base across 15 games.
