Chang was placed on the injured list for an unspecified reason Friday, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

Chang didn't appear in any of the last three games, and he'll now be sidelined with an undisclosed injury. A timetable for Chang's return to action isn't yet clear.

Nelson (undisclosed) was activated from the 7-day minor-league injured list Friday, Matt Kardos of MLB.com reports.

Nelson began the regular season on the IL, but he'll now be available to make his 2022 debut. After spending the last three seasons at the High-A level, he's been assigned to Double-A Somerset this year.

Mondesi went 0-for-3 with two stolen bases, a run and a walk in a 4-2 loss Thursday against Detroit.

Mondesi reached on a force play in the second and walked and scored in the fourth, stealing a base in both cases. The speedy shortstop now has three stolen bases on the season, all of them coming in the last three games. After spending the majority of his time at third base last season, the 26-year-old has started at short in every game in 2022, hitting seventh in the lineup in all but one game.

Seager went 2-for-4 with a home run, walk and three RBI in a 10-5 win Thursday over the Angels.

Seager hit a two-run home run in the fourth and a RBI single in the fifth. It was his first home run as a Ranger. The two-time All-Star signed a 10-year, $325 million contract in the offseason and has started strong with four multi-hit games in the first six contests of the season.

Baez (thumb) will not be in Friday's lineup against the Royals, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

Baez was originally in the lineup Thursday, though he experienced discomfort in his thumb and was subsequently scratched. He'll focus on treatment Friday, with the potential for a Saturday return. Harold Castro started at shortstop and hit eighth in Baez's absence, and he is likely to occupy the same position Friday.

Baez was scratched from the lineup for Thursday's game against the Royals due to right thumb soreness.

Baez was initially slated to return to action Thursday, but he'll ultimately be a late scratch for a second consecutive day. Harold Castro will start at shortstop and bat eighth, while Baez should be considered day-to-day.

Baez (thumb) is starting Thursday's game against the Royals.

Baez was scratched from Wednesday's lineup against Boston due to right thumb soreness, but he'll be back in action following a one-game absence. In his first five appearances this year, he's gone 6-for-19 with a homer, a double, four RBI, a walk and four strikeouts.

Crawford went 3-for-4 with a double, a run and an RBI during Wednesday's 6-4 loss to the White Sox.

Crawford collected his first three-hit game of the season and extended his hitting streak to five games. The 27-year-old shortstop is slashing .421/.522/1.048 through the first week of the season.

Anderson went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and a two-run double in Wednesday's 6-4 win over the Mariners.

Despite missing the first two games of the season while serving a suspension, Anderson has made up for the lost time with a pair of three-hit games among his three starts. Four of Anderson's hits during that stretch have gone for extra bases, and the White Sox may need him to continue mashing to keep a banged-up lineup afloat. AJ Pollock (hamstring) is already on the injured list, and Eloy Jimenez (ankle) and Josh Harrison (back) exited early Wednesday and won't be available for Thursday's series finale.

Story went 2-for-5 with an RBI in Wednesday's 9-7 win over the Tigers.

Story, who overcame a suspected bout of food poisoning, was not expected to be in the starting lineup but woke up feeling much better than anticipated. He moved up to the three-hole, taking the spot normally reserved for shortstop Xander Bogaerts, who was given the day off. The newest Red Sox slugger produced his first RBI of the season, capping off Boston's six-run fourth inning with a run-producing single. The second baseman had just one hit in eight at-bats during the Yankees series before falling ill.
