Mondesi was removed from Tuesday's game versus the White Sox with an apparent left arm injury, Joel Goldberg of FOX Sports Kansas City reports.

Mondesi made a diving attempt for a foul ball during the fifth inning and left the field with the athletic trainer holding his left arm. The young shortstop went 2-for-3 with two runs scored and a stolen base prior to leaving the game. The severity of his injury remains unclear.

Wendle isn't in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Wendle will bow out of the starting nine with a lefty (CC Sabathia) set to toe the rubber for New York. Mike Brosseau draws the start at the keystone and will hit third with Wendle riding the pine.

Mateo, who's slashing .301/.336/.521 with 46 extra-base hits (20 doubles, 13 triples, 13 home runs) and 62 RBI across 408 plate appearances at Triple-A Las Vegas, is nevertheless likely to remain with the Aviators until rosters expand in September, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

The 24-year-old shortstop has clearly earned a promotion based on his numbers, but Gallegos reports that barring injury, Mateo will likely remain blocked from a promotion until rosters expand in September. Shortstop continues to be firmly in the grasp of Marcus Semien (career-best .272/.348/.451 slash line) at the big-league level, and the A's seem intent on giving Franklin Barreto a fair shake at second base.

Adames went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in a win over the Yankees on Monday.

Adames' multi-hit effort was his second over the first four games he's suited up for in the second half. The young shortstop's fantasy managers are looking for an offensive turnaround for Adames after he appeared to be trending upward as June concluded. The 23-year-old had boosted his average another 11 points to .253 during the month, but that number has been on a quick descent thus far in July. Even factoring in Monday's effort, Adames is just 7-for-45 in 11 games since the calendar flipped, already prompting a 14-point tumble in his average and a 21-point drop in his on-base percentage.

Diaz (hamstring) went 1-for-4 with a run scored for Triple-A Round Rock on Monday.

Diaz played seven innings at second base in the first game of his rehab assignment, which is expected to last between four and seven games. Given that he's already had a setback, the Astros want to give him time in the minors to play multiple positions and test the hamstring. The biggest test Monday was scoring from second base on a double.

Correa (ribs) went 0-for-3 while playing five innings at shortstop for Triple-A Round Rock on Monday.

Correa kicked off his rehab assignment with the Express on Monday. The plan calls for him to be activated July 26, the first day he's eligible to come off the 60-day injured list. In the meantime, Alex Bregman and Myles Straw will handle shortstop for the Astros.

Diaz (hamstring) is expected to need between 4-to-7 games during his rehab assignment before being activated from the 10-day injured list, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Diaz started a rehab stint with Triple-A Round Rock on Monday, though he wasn't expected to play more than six innings. "With Diaz, we'll have to evaluate as the games compile," stated manager AJ Hinch. Hinch also mentioned that the length of Diaz's rehab assignment will likely depend on how often he's able to test his previously injured hamstring during games, per Jake Kaplan of The Athletic.

Bogaerts went 3-for-5 with a solo home run in Sunday's loss to the Dodgers.

Bogaerts extended his recent power surge with a 352-foot shot to left field in the eighth inning to bring Boston to within a run. The All-Star shortstop has now homered in his first three games following the break, knocking in six runs over that stretch. Overall, he is slashing .301/.389/.559 with 20 home runs and 71 RBI in 345 at-bats this season.

Anderson (ankle) was spotted fielding ground balls Sunday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports. "[Anderson's] still not pushing off [the right] leg as well as we'd like but he's healing," manager Rick Renteria said after the shortstop's workout.

Sidelined since June 26 with the high right-ankle sprain, Anderson took some meaningful steps forward this weekend by resuming baseball activities. Along with taking part in fielding drills, Anderson also went through batting practice Saturday in addition to some light mobility drills. Anderson's ability to comfortably cut in the field and run the bases will likely be the final test he'll need to pass before the White Sox send him out on a minor-league rehab assignment.

Fletcher will start at shortstop and bat leadoff Sunday against the Mariners, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Fletcher will draw his 15th start of the season at shortstop while the Angels' normal option at the position, Andrelton Simmons, receives the day off. Whether he's been deployed in left field, shortstop, second base or third base this season, Fletcher has displayed an elite hit tool, batting .302 while striking out in only 27 of his 340 plate appearances (7.9 percent). Fletcher has been especially dialed in lately, riding a four-game multi-hit streak into the series finale.
