Adell went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Friday's 9-3 loss to the Athletics.

Adell had gone 15 games without a homer before his long ball in the fifth inning. In that span, he still hit .266 with six doubles, though he added just four RBI and a 3:15 BB:K. The outfielder has held onto a starting role in right field for much of this season. He's batting .247 with a .681 OPS, 11 homers, 43 RBI, 38 runs scored and three stolen bases over 82 contests.

Hernandez (hamstring) has played three rehab games with Triple-A Oklahoma City and has gone 3-for-11 with three home runs and six RBI.

Hernandez kicked off his rehab assignment June 23 and has since played three games, all in left field, in four days. Each of his three hits so far have left the park, and he's struck out only once across 11 plate appearances. Per MLB.com, Hernandez could return to the big-league Dodgers for the start of the team's series against the Athletics this Monday.

Bolte went 1-for-4 with two RBI, one stolen base and two runs scored in Friday's 9-3 win over the Angels.

Bolte has shown more confidence on the basepaths lately, going 5-for-6 on steal attempts over his last 10 games. He's batting .294 (10-for-34) in that span. The rookie outfielder has hit leadoff in three straight games, all against right-handed pitchers, since Zack Gelof (hand) exited the lineup. Bolte is now batting .317 with an .814 OPS, 10 steals, two home runs, 12 RBI, 14 runs scored and six doubles over his first 40 major-league contests.

Beavers (oblique) has gone just 1-for-20 (.050) with a run scored and five walks over his first six games during his minor-league rehab assignment.

Beavers was hitless in nine at-bats with Double-A Chesapeake before having his assignment moved to Triple-A Norfolk on Wednesday, and he's gone just 1-for-11 since then. The Orioles might want to see the 24-year-old outfielder find his timing at the plate before they consider reinstating him from the injured list, so Beavers' return to the major leagues may have to wait until early July.

Peters went 2-for-5 with a home run, a walk, six RBI and three runs scored in Friday's 22-1 win over the Royals.

Peters drove in two on a single in the third inning before launching a grand slam in the sixth. It marked a career high in RBI for the 26-year-old, who's hitting .288 with 16 RBI and 10 runs scored in 20 June contests. While he mostly sits against lefties, Peters is slashing .289/.351/.453 with four homers, 30 RBI, 28 runs scored and four steals across 226 plate appearances this season.

Sanchez was removed from Friday's game against the Rangers with a sprained right ankle, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Sanchez went 0-for-2 with a strikeout before being lifted in the seventh inning. X-rays on his ankle came back negative after the game, so he doesn't appear to be dealing with a severe injury. That said, the Jays may still give the 28-year-old a day or two off so he can recover.

Dunn was removed from Friday's game against the Pirates with right elbow discomfort, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.

Dunn went 1-for-2 with an RBI before coming out of the game in the sixth inning. The severity of his injury has yet to be determined, but the Reds could provide an update on his status after the game.

Tucker (back) will start in right field and bat sixth Friday against the Padres, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Tucker hasn't played since Monday due to back spasms, but he now seems to be feeling better following a few days of rest. He'll aim to turn things around in his return after going cold in June, slashing just .212/.321/.318 with two homers, 13 RBI, seven runs and two steals since the beginning of the month.

Simpson is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against Arizona, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Simpson will ride the bench for the series opener despite recording at least one hit in six of his last seven games, and even with the Diamondbacks starting a righty in Zac Gallen. Victor Mesa will replace Simpson in left field and bat seventh Friday.

Hernandez is not in the lineup for Friday's contest in St. Louis.

Hernandez started each of the previous three games -- including two versus righties -- but the right-handed hitter will begins Friday's series opener on the bench. Esteury Ruiz is in left field for the Marlins.
