Bogaerts went 2-for-5 with a triple, two runs and two strikeouts in Tuesday's 8-4 win against Seattle.

Bogaerts reached base in his final two at-bats with a leadoff triple in the eighth to ignite a five-run inning and a ninth-inning single. After spending the first week and a half of September on the COVID IL, Bogaerts is 6-for-16 with a double, a triple and a home run over the last five games.

Manager Tony La Russa said that Anderson (hamstring), who is starting at shortstop Tuesday against the Angels, will be playing every other day for a while, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

Anderson was activated from the injured list earlier Tuesday and is set to return to the top of Chicago's order for the series opener against the Halos. La Russa wasn't specific regarding how long he plans to alternate starts and days off for Anderson, but the club will almost certainly want to have him playing close to everyday by the final week of the season. Anderson resumes his campaign hitting .302/.331/.458 with 14 homers, 26 doubles, 53 RBI, 17 stolen bases and 82 runs scored.

Mateo will miss the remainder of the season after being placed on the 60-day injured list Tuesday with right lumbar inflammation.

Mateo missed last Friday's game with unspecified soreness, and it's possible the lumbar injury is related to that previous issue. Mateo showed promise in his 32 games with Baltimore to finish his 2021 campaign, going 30-for-107 with seven doubles, one triple, two homers and five stolen bases. His defensive versatility should help him find a substantial role with the Orioles to begin next season.

Mateo will hit the bench Tuesday against the Yankees, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Mateo has received plenty of playing time since he joined the Orioles in early August. He's hit well enough, posting a .280/.328/.421 line with two homers and five steals over 32 games. Ramon Urias and Pat Valaika will be the middle infielders Tuesday.

Crawford went 3-for-4 with a double and two runs in a win over the Red Sox on Monday.

The hot-hitting shortstop made life miserable for the Red Sox out of the leadoff spot, hitting safely for the fifth time in the last six games in the process. Crawford's tear at the plate actually dates back a good bit further, as the 26-year-old now boasts a .309/.382/.456 slash line with four doubles, two home runs and seven RBI over his last 16 contests.

Bichette went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Monday's 8-1 win over the Rays.

He took Ryan Yarbrough deep in the fifth inning, giving the Jays a 5-0 lead at the time. Bichette has a six-game hit streak going during which he's slashing .423/.444/.769 with three of his 24 homers on the year -- a blistering pace to be sure but merely above average on a Toronto squad that as a team boasts a ridiculous 1.044 OPS in September.

Anderson (hamstring) was activated off the injured list as expected Tuesday.

Anderson had been on the shelf with a strained left hamstring since late August. He was on fire immediately prior to the injury, hitting .364 with four homers over his last 14 games. Danny Mendick was sent to Triple-A Charlotte to clear space for Anderson's return.

Bogaerts went 2-for-4 with a double and solo home run in Monday's 5-4 loss to Seattle.

Bogaerts and Rafael Devers went back-to-back in the eighth inning, but Boston's comeback fell short. This was Bogaerts' fourth game back after a stay on the COVID-19 injury list. The shortstop is 4-for-11 since his return.

Mondesi went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Twins.

Mondesi led off the second inning by taking Baily Ober deep to right field to put the Royals up 2-1. The home run ball snapped an 0-for-17 drought at the plate for the speedster and it was his second home run since returning from the injured list Sept. 1. The 25-year-old is now slashing .265/.286/.603 with six homers, 13 RBI, 11 runs scored, seven steals and 2:25 BB:K over 72 plate appearances.

Manager Tony La Russa said he expects Anderson (hamstring) to be activated from the injured list Tuesday, Vinnie Duber of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

Assuming he does return Tuesday, Anderson will have missed only slightly more than the minimum 10 days while recovering from a left hamstring strain. The 28-year-old figures to get periodic rest for the remainder of the regular season as the playoff-bound White Sox try to stay healthy until October.
