Anderson will start at shortstop and hit ninth in his MLB debut Friday night, Bruce Levine of WSCR-AM reports.

Anderson has a bright future and is set to be Chicago's regular shortstop moving forward, but the White Sox will let him get his feet wet with the bat, and use him out of the final spot in the batting order to begin with. Regardless of where he hits though, Anderson figures to be a threat whenever he gets on base.

Correa (ankle) is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Rays, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Correa was listed as day-to-day after exiting Thursday's game with his ankle injury, and it turns out the setback will prevent him from taking the field for at least one day. Marwin Gonzalez will get the start at shortstop in Correa's place.

The White Sox recalled Anderson from Triple-A Charlotte on Friday.

Jimmy Rollins struggled to get much going with the bat while serving as the White Sox's primary shortstop, so the team decided to designate him for assignment and call up Anderson -- their top prospect -- on Friday. Given his pedigree, Anderson figures to serve as the White Sox's primary shortstop moving forward, with Tyler Saladino still working in a backup role. Anderson does not bring a lot to the plate in the power department, but he does own a .301 career minor league batting average and stole 49 bags a year ago, so there are several things to like about his game from a fantasy perspective.

Anderson is set to be called up by the White Sox, Jon Heyman of FanRag Sports reports.

The team has not confirmed Anderson's promotion, but the White Sox have made a number of roster moves of late, and it appears the latest is the addition of their top prospect to the major league roster. If Anderson is indeed called up, he would be an immediate threat to Jimmy Rollins' and Tyler Saladino's playing time at shortstop.

Correa was diagnosed with a left ankle sprain Thursday and he is listed as day-to-day, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

The star shortstop exited Thursday's game against the Rangers after awkwardly stepping on the side of first base in the fifth inning. Fortunately, he was able to walk off the field under his own power and according to McTaggart's follow-up, Correa may have avoided an injury that would cause him to miss significant time. His status heading into Friday's series opener in Tampa Bay is in some question at this point, so owners will want to confirm his status in the lineup prior to first pitch. If Correa is held out of Friday's contest, Marwin Gonzalez would likely take over at shortstop.

Correa left Thursday's game against the Rangers in the fifth inning with a left ankle injury, Stefan Stevenson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Correa suffered the injury when he stepped on the side of first base. He was taken out of the game after being evaluated by team trainers, but was able to walk off the field under his own power. More information surrounding the injury and Correa's status should be released soon.

Bogaerts knocked in three runs in a 2-for-5 game Tuesday against the Giants.

Bogaerts has three multi-hit games in his past five contests as he continues to be a hitting machine. His batting average is up to .346, giving him a slight lead for the American Lead batting crown over Victor Martinez (.341) and David Ortiz (.338). His 46 runs scored lead all shortstops, and only Manny Machado and Trevor Story boast more RBIs at the position than Bogaerts's 36.

Lindor went 2-for-3 with his sixth home run of the season and three RBI in Sunday's win over the Royals.

It's his second homer in as many games, and Lindor has kicked off the month of June by hitting .333 with five extra-base hits, seven RBI and five runs scored in five games. The 22-year-old shortstop continues to emerge as one of the top fantasy options at his position.

Correa went 3-for-5 with a triple, two RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 6-5 extra-inning victory over the A's.

The young shortstop, who is starting to come on at the plate, was the hero Saturday after singling in George Springer with the winning run in the 12th inning. The 21-year-old now has his average up to .267 on the strength of a seven-game hitting streak, and curiously has all three of his triples on the season over the first four games of June. Correa also has four multi-hit outings over his last six contests.

Bogaerts went 3-for-4 with a double and two runs scored in Saturday's 6-4 victory over the Blue Jays.

One day after seeing his 26-game hitting streak snapped, Bogaerts was right back at it with his fourth multi-hit effort in the last seven games. After generating a .395 average in May, the 23-year-old standout has picked up right where he left off and is now slashing .353/.421/.412 in his first four games of June.
