Mondesi exited Monday's game against the Pirates after feeling a "little tweak" in his hamstring, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

The speedster went 2-for-3 with a two-run blast before leaving the contest. Mondesi's removal appears to have been precautionary, but it'll be unclear how serious the hamstring issue is until the Royals provide further updates. He has hit .360 with two homers, three doubles, one steal and 10 strikeouts in 25 at-bats since making his 2021 debut May 25.

Anderson was dealing with allergies as he sat out Game 2 of Monday's doubleheader, Tom Withers of the Associated Press reports.

Much like teammate Andrew Vaughn, Anderson sat due to an allergy-induced headache. It's unclear whether the shortstop will return to action Tuesday, but he figures to be back in the lineup sooner rather than later.

Anderson is out of the lineup for the second game of Monday's doubleheader with Cleveland.

Anderson has missed some time of late with a sore thumb and general soreness, so the White Sox may be holding him out primarily for maintenance purposes in the second half of the twin bill. Danny Mendick will fill in at shortstop for Anderson, who went 0-for-3 with a walk while being caught stealing twice in the White Sox's 8-6 win in Game 1.

Wendle is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Yankees, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Yandy Diaz will shift to the hot corner as Wendle takes a seat for the series opener at Yankee Stadium.

Diaz started at first base and went 1-for-2 with a double, two RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 7-4 win over the Padres.

Diaz has been needed everywhere the last stretch of games due to injuries to lineup regulars. He's started the last four games: two at DH for Yordan Alvarez (wrist), once in left field for Michael Brantley (hamstring) and once at first base for Yuli Gurriel (finger). He's just 3-for-18 during that stretch but should get consistent at-bats in the short term given the number of injuries with which Houston is dealing.

Fletcher went 2-for-4 with two doubles, two RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 4-2 win over Oakland.

Fletcher knocked a two-run double in the second inning before coming around to score on a Phil Gosselin single. It was the 26-year-old's first game with multiple extra-base hits this season and he raised his OPS to .602. He's scored 27 runs and driven in 16.

Anderson went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 3-1 win over Baltimore.

Anderson got aboard with a single in the seventh inning, then stole second and advanced to third on an error. The shortstop came home on a go-ahead RBI triple from Nick Madrigal. Anderson is now 9-for-11 in stolen base attempts this year. He's added five home runs, 17 RBI, 31 runs scored and a .293/.330/.425 slash line in 40 games as the White Sox's usual leadoff hitter.

Diaz went 1-for-5 with a walk in Saturday's 11-8 extra-innings loss to the Padres.

Diaz made his second consecutive start as the designated hitter and third overall (he had one start in LF) as the Astros work around injuries to Yordan Alvarez (wrist) and Michael Brantley (hamstring).

Correa went 2-for-4 with a home run, two walks and three total RBI in Saturday's 12-inning loss versus San Diego.

Correa opened the scoring in the contest with a two-run shot to right field in the fourth inning. He later knocked in another run with a double in the 10th, though Houston couldn't secure the victory. Saturday marked the third straight game in which Correa has reached at least three times. He has collected five hits (including two homers) and six walks over that span.

Crawford went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Saturday's 3-2 win over Texas.

Crawford led off the seventh with home run to right off Texas starter Mike Foltynewicz to break a 1-1 tie. This was Crawford's second home run in 52 games this year after hitting two in 53 last season, as he obviously isn't much of a power threat.
