Velazquez is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game at Oakland, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Velazquez is 5-for-27 in 16 games since the All-Star break and will take a seat Tuesday for the second straight contest. David Fletcher will shift to shortstop while Luis Rengifo starts at second base and Jose Rojas at third.

Marcano is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Marcano collected five hits in his first two starts after being recalled last week, but in the three games since he's 0-for-11 with a walk and five strikeouts. Greg Allen will start in left field while Rodolfo Castro, fresh up from Triple-A Indianapolis, will man the keystone.

Anderson (hand) was placed on the 10-day injured list after Game 1 of Tuesday's doubleheader at Kansas City and is scheduled to undergo surgery Thursday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

The 29-year-old sat out the matinee while serving the second and final game of his suspension, but he was diagnosed with a sagittal band tear on the middle finger of his left hand and is expected to miss the next six weeks while recovering from the procedure. Anderson sustained the injury during Saturday's game against the Rangers on a check swing, and the tear is causing a dislocation of the exterior tendon of his finger. Leury Garcia and prospect Lenyn Sosa, who was promoted from Triple-A Charlotte over the weekend, are the primary options to fill in at shortstop for the White Sox.

Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Tuesday that Story (wrist) has resumed swinging a bat, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.

The team isn't yet providing a timeline for Story's return from the 10-day injured list, but his ability to start swinging again is the first sign of progress for the second baseman since he was diagnosed in late July with a hairline fracture of his right wrist. Until Story returns from the wrist injury, Christian Arroyo will serve as the Red Sox's primary option at the keystone.

Lopez was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday, Kaitlyn McGrath of The Athletic reports.

Lopez will head back to Triple-A after being recalled Saturday, failing to draw an at-bat before being sent down. The move was made to clear a roster spot for Jackie Bradley, who was signed Tuesday.

Duran is not in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Astros, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Duran will get a breather after he went 4-for-11 with a homer, a double, two RBI and two runs during the team's three-game series against the White Sox. Brad Miller will take over at designated hitter and bat ninth in the series opener.

Anderson (suspension) was diagnosed Tuesday with a torn ligament in his left hand and is expected to miss 4-to-6 weeks, Russell Dorsey of Bally Sports reports.

Anderson is out of the lineup for the first half of Tuesday's doubleheader with the Royals while he serves the second game of the two-game suspension he received over the weekend, but the White Sox are expected to shift him to the 10-day injured list in advance of the nightcap in light of his injury. Per LaMond Pope of the Chicago Tribune, Anderson picked up the injury on a checked swing Saturday against the Rangers, and the torn ligament was confirmed when he returned to Chicago on Sunday for an examination. Dorsey notes that surgery could be a possibility for Anderson, but for the time being, the White Sox seem content to wait and see how the 29-year-old responds to rest and rehab. Leury Garcia is making his second straight start at shortstop in Game 1 on Tuesday and could serve as the primary replacement at the position in Anderson's absence, while top prospect Lenyn Sosa was also called up from Triple-A Charlotte over the weekend and is another possible fill-in option.

Lindor went 0-for-3 with a walk, a run scored and a stolen base in Monday's 5-1 win over the Reds.

The shortstop extended his run-scoring streak to 11 games with the performance while swiping his 11th bag of the year. Despite failing to get a hit in this one, overall Lindor's been raking since the All-Star break, slashing .381/.459/.603 over his last 17 games with five doubles, three homers, 11 RBI and 16 runs.

Barrero went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in Monday's 5-1 loss to the Mets.

The 24-year-old shortstop pilfered his first bag of the year in the majors after going 5-for-7 on steal attempts through 55 games for Triple-A Louisville. Barrero has gone 4-for-18 in five games since his promotion while striking out nine times, but the Reds have nothing to lose by giving him consistent playing time down the stretch and seeing if he can make the necessary adjustments.

Perdomo went 1-for-3 with two runs scored and a stolen base in Monday's 3-0 win over the Pirates.

Perdomo swiped second base and scored the go-ahead run after reaching base on an error in the sixth inning. He has two steals over the last three games, giving him five on the year. His slash line still sits at a pedestrian .201/.295/.280 with 41 runs scored through 98 appearances.
