Wendle went into Sunday's series finale against the Orioles having gone 4-for-6 with a double, a home run, three RBI and two runs over the last two games.

The versatile infielder pushed his season line to an outstanding .293/.353/.505 with the mini-surge while also hitting the 30-RBI mark for only the second time in his career. Wendle has also regularly put good wood on the ball, as 25 of his 55 hits have gone for extra bases.

Anderson will receive a scheduled day off as expected Sunday against the Tigers, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

It was reported Saturday that Anderson would get the day off Sunday, and he is indeed absent from Tony La Russa's lineup card for the series finale. Danny Mendick will shift to shortstop as Leury Garcia mans second base as the leadoff hitter.

Bogaerts (knee) is back in the starting lineup Sunday against the Blue Jays, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

Anderson is not expected to play Sunday's finale against the Tigers, Dawn Klemish of MLB.com reports.

This is a scheduled day off for Anderson, whose only recent break was being held out of the back end of a doubleheader in late May. No replacement has been named, but Leury Garcia or Danny Mendick are the likely candidates to play shortstop.

Anderson went 3-for-5 with a double, two RBI and three runs scored in Saturday's 15-2 win over Detroit.

Anderson scored all three times he got on base, and he added a two-RBI single in the fifth inning. The shortstop continues to impress atop Chicago's order. He has a .299/.341/.431 slash line with six home runs, 25 RBI, 38 runs scored and 12 stolen bases across 226 plate appearances. He has yet to go more than three games without a hit this season after entering Saturday 0-for-7 in his last two contests.

Correa is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Twins.

Correa isn't dealing with any injury but is simply getting a routine day off, as he finds himself on the bench for just the fifth time this season. Robel Garcia starts at shortstop in his absence.
