Velazquez exited Tuesday's game against the Guardians with a knee injury, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

Velazquez suffered the injury while he fielded a groundball during the fourth inning and was replaced by a pinch hitter in the following frame. The 28-year-old should be considered day-to-day heading into Wednesday's series finale in Cleveland.

Correa went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double and three total RBI in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Royals.

Correa found his success against Royals lefty Kris Bubic, producing an RBI double in the third inning and a two-run homer in the fifth. The homer was Correa's 20th of the year, making this the sixth time in eight seasons the shortstop has reached that level. He's done it with a power surge lately, going yard five times through 11 games in September. The 27-year-old's added 57 RBI, 62 runs scored, 19 doubles and a triple while slashing .280/.357/.463 through 116 contests.

Fletcher (hand) went 1-for-2 with a single in a 3-1 loss Tuesday in Cleveland.

Fletcher was removed from Saturday's game in Houston after being hit by a pitch and missed the last two games. He did not start Tuesday but pinch hit for Andrew Velazquez in the fifth inning and remained in the game, playing shortstop. Despite his appearance off the bench, Fletcher doesn't appear to be fully past the hand issue as he bunted in both his plate appearances Tuesday and appeared unable to take full swings, per Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register.

Velazquez was removed from Tuesday's game at Cleveland with an apparent injury, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Velazquez singled in his lone at-bat before being replaced by a pinch hitter during the fifth inning, as he appeared to suffer an injury while he fielded a groundball in the previous frame. David Fletcher, who was out of Tuesday's lineup for a third straight game due to a bruised hand, has entered the game at shortstop for the Halos.

Anderson (hand) is resuming baseball activities Tuesday and could return at some point during next week's homestand if all goes well, according to general manager Rick Hahn, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.

Hahn said it will depend how Anderson's ramp up goes, regarding when he could be activated. The White Sox have a homestand that runs from Sept. 20 through Sept. 25. Anderson has been out since Aug. 6 after undergoing left hand surgery.

Seager is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Athletics.

It's just a scheduled day off for Seager, who reached the 30-homer mark for the first time in his career Monday. Josh Smith will get the start at shortstop, hitting eighth.

Diaz (groin) was activated from the 10-day injured list and is starting at designated hitter while batting seventh Tuesday against the Tigers.

He will end up missing four weeks with the groin injury. Diaz had settled into a prominent role prior to the injury, hitting .297/.329/.541 with four home runs in 21 second-half games. However, now that Trey Mancini has settled into a semi-regular role, Diaz may occupy a utility role over the rest of the season.

Fletcher (hand) is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Guardians.

Fletcher has missed three games in a row due to this hand contusion. He couldn't grip a bat Tuesday, and with there being no fracture, it just comes down to pain tolerance. Luis Rengifo will start at second base while Matt Duffy starts at the hot corner.

Story (heel) is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Yankees.

Story will miss the first of a two-game series against the Yankees after leaving Sunday's game with left heel pain. Christian Arroyo is starting at second base and hitting sixth. Yu Chang was claimed off waivers Monday, but he has not been activated yet, so if Story's injury is serious, he could end up on the injured list as the corresponding move for Chang's activation in the near future.

Bichette went 2-for-3 with a home run and three RBI in Monday's 3-2 win over the Rays.

His two-run blast in the eighth inning off Jason Adam proved to be the game-winning hit. Bichette has been almost unstoppable in September, posting eight multi-hit performances in 11 games while slashing .511/.549/1.128 with six doubles, a triple, seven of his 24 homers on the year and 21 of his 87 RBI.
