Anderson went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Tuesday's loss to the Cubs.

It was Anderson's second extra-base hit in as many games, and he's now hitting .345 (10-for-29) over his last eight games. With the latest hot stretch, the 24-year-old is slashing .268/.367/.378 to go along with 18 RBI.

LeMahieu (hamstring) was activated from the disabled list and is starting at second base and hitting leadoff Tuesday against the Angels, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

As planned, LeMahieu will return to action Tuesday night. In a corresponding move, Pat Valaika was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque.

Moncada (hamstring) is scheduled to participate in running exercises Wednesday, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

Moncada will increase his level of activity soon, as he's been able to participate in hitting drills without experiencing any discomfort. Moncada is hopeful that he'll be able to come off the disabled list at some point next week, but the White Sox may opt to be cautious with the 22-year-old. Until Moncada returns, expect Yolmer Sanchez and Leury Garcia to share time at second base.

Peterson is out of the lineup Tuesday against the Royals and is expected to lose out on a full-time role at second base following the activation of Jonathan Schoop (oblique) from the 10-day disabled list.

Peterson had started in nine of the Orioles' past 10 games, with eight of those assignments coming at second base. Though Schoop's return will close off his path to regular playing time at the keystone, Peterson could soon factor more prominently into the mix in right field with the primary starter at that position, Anthony Santander, hitting just .202/.245/.315 on the season and likely in need of some more development time in the minors. Once May 12 arrives, Santander, a 2016 Rule 5 draft pick, will have accrued 90 days of big-league service time, which would make him eligible to be optioned to the minors. Even if Santander is sent to Triple-A Norfolk or Double-A Bowie at that time, Peterson likely wouldn't make for an overly appealing fantasy option due to the lack of power and poor on-base skills he has exhibited through parts of five seasons in the big leagues.

LeMahieu (hamstring) is expected to return from the disabled list prior to Tuesday's game against the Angels, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

There had been some uncertainty as to whether LeMahieu would be ready to return after missing the minimum 10 days, but it appears that will indeed be the case. He's expected to rejoin Colorado's lineup Tuesday, at which point he'll look to continue his strong start to the season. Before landing on the disabled list, LeMahieu had hit .290/.367/.505 with five home runs over 27 games.

Segura (head) is starting at shortstop and hitting second Tuesday against the Blue Jays, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Segura won't be forced to miss any further action after exiting Sunday's game early with a headache. The 28-year-old will look to continue his solid start to the season, as he's hitting .290/.315/.420 with a pair of homers and five swiped bags in 33 games. He'll matchup against Marcus Stroman in this one.

Rendon went 2-for-4 with a walk, two doubles, two runs scored and an RBI in Monday's win over the Padres.

With Bryce Harper getting a day off, Rendon moved up to hit third Monday and had his first multi-hit performance since coming off the disabled list. The 27-year-old has quickly shaken off any rust from his toe injury, and he seems headed for a very productive summer.

Robinson (hip) was placed on the 10-day disabled list Monday, T.R. Sullivan of MLB.com reports.

Robinson will head to the disabled list after being scratched from Monday's game against the Tigers. He appeared to suffer the injury during Monday's pregame warmups, and the injury ended up being more serious than originally thought. Robinson will be replaced by Eliezer Alvarez and is eligible to return from the DL on May 15.

Robinson was scratched from Monday's lineup against the Tigers with left hip soreness.

Robinson apparently picked up the injury during Monday's pregame exercises. The severity of the issue remains unclear, but Renato Nunez will enter the lineup in Robinson's place, starting at third base and batting ninth.

Candelario (thumb) is hitting second and playing third base Monday against the Rangers.

Candelario was out of Sunday's lineup due to a jammed thumb, though it appears that reports stating it was a minor injury were correct. He'll resume his normal spot in the order, looking to build off the four homers and 14 RBI he has this season.
