Anderson was diagnosed with a strained right groin after exiting Sunday's game against the Cubs.

The 28-year-old suffered the injury while fielding a grounder up the middle during the fifth inning Sunday, and he needed assistance leaving the field. Anderson will be further evaluated Monday, and there's a decent possibility he requires a stint on the injured list.

Anderson was removed from Sunday's game against the Cubs with an apparent right leg injury, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

Anderson suffered the injury during the fifth inning while making a play on a grounder up the middle, and he favored his right leg while being helped off the field. The 28-year-old went 1-for-2 prior to this exit, and his availability going forward will remain in question until more is known about the injury.

Bichette went 2-for-5 with a double and a run scored in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Angels.

With doubles in each of his last four games, Bichette is beginning to warm up at the plate, but his contributions in the counting-stats categories are still lacking as a whole this season. Despite starting in all 46 of the Blue Jays' games to date, Bichette has supplied modest totals of 23 RBI, 21 runs, six home runs and four stolen bases. He'll remain in the lineup for Sunday's series finale, playing shortstop and batting third.

Adames (ankle) will begin a rehab assignment at Low-A Carolina on Sunday.

Adames hasn't played since May 15 due to a left ankle sprain, but he looks to be on the cusp of a return from the 10-day injured list now that he's been cleared to suit up for the Brewers' Low-A affiliate. The team hasn't indicated whether Adames will require additional rehab games to begin the upcoming week, but the Brewers will presumably see how his ankle feels coming out of Sunday's action before determining his next steps. Assuming Adames is cleared to come off the IL within the next few days, he would take back everyday duties at shortstop, with Luis Urias sliding back over to third base and Jace Peterson moving into a bench role as a result.

Wendle is out of the lineup for Sunday's game in Atlanta, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Since he recently returned from a stint on the 10-day injured list due to a hamstring injury along with the fact that the Marlins are opposing a lefty (Max Fried) in the series finale, the lefty-hitting Wendle will cede third base to Willians Astudillo. Wendle picked up starts Friday and Saturday following his return from the IL, going hitless with an RBI across seven plate appearances between those contests.

Berti went 0-for-3 with two walks, a run scored and a stolen base in Saturday's 4-1 win over Atlanta.

The veteran utility player started his second straight game at second base while Jazz Chisholm (hamstring) is on the mend, and Berti stole a base in each contest. He's up to four stolen bases in 59 plate appearances on the year, adding two homers, four RBI and 12 runs with a .277 batting average.

Rojas went 3-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 4-1 win over Atlanta.

The shortstop took Darren O'Day deep in the sixth inning for his third homer of the year. It's been a disappointing campaign so far for Rojas, but he's showing signs of waking up at the plate with two three-hit performances in his last seven starts, boosting his slash line to .220/.267/.339.

Perdomo went 1-for-3 with a triple and an RBI in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Dodgers.

Perdomo hit the second of two Arizona triples in the second inning, driving in Jake McCarthy, who had tripled two batters before him. The RBI snapped an eight-game stretch without knocking in a run. He continues to see action at shortstop daily with Nick Ahmed (undisclosed) sidelined. The rookie shortstop is slashing .212./.336/.274 with five extra-base hits, five RBI, 15 runs and one stolen base over 40 games.

Seager went 3-for-4 with a double, a two-run home run, a second run scored and a stolen base in Saturday's 11-4 win over the A's.

The Rangers' pricey -- and so far disappointing -- double-play duo led the way in the big victory, as Seager and Marcus Semien combined for two homers and seven RBI. Seager snapped a 1-for-22 mini-slump with his performance, and on the season he has a .237/.304/.422 slash line with nine home runs, two steals, 22 runs and 22 RBI through 44 games.

Franco went 1-for-3 with a triple, a walk and a run scored Saturday against the Yankees.

Franco struck out in each of his first two at-bats but led off the eighth inning with a triple before coming around to score. He's shown a concerning lack of power in May -- he entered Saturday with just a .247 slugging percentage across 85 at-bats in the month -- but he now has two doubles and a triple across his last four games. That's not enough to completely alleviate concerns regarding his recent struggles, though it appears that he is finding his swing again. Overall, Franco has maintained a .263/.293/.421 line across 181 plate appearances.
