Anderson was diagnosed Wednesday with a left wrist strain and will miss three-to-five days, MLB.com's Scott Merkin reports.

This is a minor ailment that should not affect Anderson's season as a whole, but look for the White Sox to be extra careful with when they bring him back, as he is easily the team's top prospect. Unsurprisingly, Jimmy Rollins is slashing .160/.185/.320 as the big league shortstop, so if Anderson can get healthy and get going offensively at Triple-A, he could receive a call-up before the All-Star break.

Baldoquin left Tuesday's game for High-A Inland Empire with a hamstring injury, 66ers broadcaster Steve Wendt reports.

He apparently aggravated the injury while running out a double in the fourth inning. Baldoquin is a top-10 prospect in the Angels system, but that says more about how bad that farm system is than it does about Baldoquin as a prospect. Consider him day-to-day.

Lindor hit his first home run Tuesday against the Rays, part of a 2-for-4 performance in the loss.

Lindor's homer was one of just five hits allowed by Rays starter Matt Moore. Lindor is on a tear to begin the season, with a .368/.429/.526 line in his first 21 plate appearances. Lindor showed surprising power for this early stage of his career with 12 home runs last year, and he's starting right where he left off in 2016.

Bogaerts went 3-for-5 with a double and three runs scored in Friday's 8-7 victory over the Blue Jays.

After starting the new season in an 0-for-9 funk, Bogaerts broke out with his first three hits of the season. His slow start notwithstanding, the standout shortstop is fully expected to thrive in the three-hole this season, and build on his .320/.355./.421 line from 2015.

Correa went 4-for-5 with two solo home runs in a 16-6 loss to the Yankees on Wednesday.

The star shortstop hit both of his home runs off Michael Pineda to bring his total to three on the young season. Many fantasy owners invested a mid-first round pick on Correa, so his hot start is certainly encouraging.

Sardinas is in the lineup Wednesday, batting seventh as the Mariners' left fielder, Bob Dutton of the Tacoma News-Tribune reports.

Sardinas saw his first action of the season Tuesday as a pinch-hitter , going 1-for-2 with a pair of RBI. He'll parlay that into a spot in the lineup Wednesday against Rangers' right-hander Colby Lewis. Sardinas is naturally a second-baseman, but he does have the versatility to see time in the outfield when the situation calls for it.

Correa went 1-for-4 with a homer, two steals, two RBI and two runs Tuesday against the Yankees.

The five-category superstar was in midseason form with his exciting performance on opening day. It's performances like these that made him a no-brainer top pick in fantasy drafts.

Mier had a productive spring, posting a .317/.349/.488 slash line in 41 at-bats.

Mier is coming off his best year yet and still has some promise as a prospect for the Blue Jays. He had a slash line of .258/.350/.372 with 56 RBI in Double-A New Hampshire last year and will begin 2016 at Triple-A Buffalo after a hot-hitting spring. The 25-year-old needs to improve his power if he hopes to be called up; he had just five extra-base hits this spring. Expect him to be on the Blue Jays' radar if an infield spot opens up.

The Indians designated Walters for assignment on Sunday, MLB.com's Jordan Bastian reports.

Walters' removal from the 40-man roster opens up a spot for Marlon Byrd, who is expected to share right field duties with Collin Cowgill or Rajai Davis until Lonnie Chisenhall (forearm) returns from the DL. While Walters once held some promise a power-hitting utility man, his extreme issues with making contact made it too difficulty for the Indians to justify keeping him on the roster.

Navarro was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake on Saturday, Alden Gonzalez of MLB.com reports.

The Angels made their final roster trim down in advance of Opening Day on Saturday, optioning Navarro and others down to Triple-A. Navarro had a decent spring with a .257 batting average to go with two doubles and eight RBI, but his inability to get on base (.263 OBP) was problematic. He'll start the year in the infield at Salt Lake.
