Anderson went 2-for-5 with a run scored in Thursday's 4-2 loss to Cleveland.

Anderson, who returned to the lineup after spending time on the injured list with a hamstring injury, greeted Cleveland's Aaron Civale with a first-pitch single. He came around to score on a two-out single by Yoan Moncada. Anderson is 5-for-20 with one home run and four runs scored through five games.

Ahmed went 0-for-4 with a walk, a stolen base, an RBI and two runs scored in Thursday's 11-6 win over the Nationals.

Ahmed knocked in a run on a fielder's choice, his second RBI of the season, and scored his first runs of the season. The stolen base was his first, but speed has not been a big element to his game. His eight thefts over 158 games in 2019 stand as his career benchmark. After starting the year on the injured list due to a knee injury, the shortstop hasn't done much since rejoining the Diamondbacks. Ahmed is 2-for-19 out of the gate.

Seager isn't starting Thursday's game against the Rockies, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

Seager had recorded hits in each of the last four games, but he'll get a breather ahead of the team's weekend series against the Padres. Gavin Lux will shift to shortstop while Zach McKinstry starts at second base Thursday.

Story isn't starting Thursday's game against the Dodgers, Danielle Allentuck of The Denver Gazette reports.

Story will get his first day off this year after slashing .265/.308/.367 with four extra-base hits and four RBI across 13 games to begin the season. Alan Trejo will receive his first major-league start at shortstop Thursday, batting eighth.

Mondesi (oblique) has been doing more movement recently, Lynn Worthy of The Kansas City Star reports.

Mondesi had been resting for several weeks after he was placed on the 10-day injured list to begin the regular season due to a right oblique strain. Manager Mike Matheny said Thursday that Mondesi has been making some progress, but the speedy shortstop still doesn't have a timetable to make his season debut.

Adames isn't starting Thursday's game against the Rangers, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

Adames has gone hitless with three strikeouts in his last seven at-bats. Joey Wendle will start at shortstop Thursday while Mike Brosseau enters the lineup at third base.

Anderson (hamstring) was activated from the 10-day injured list as expected ahead of Thursday's game against Cleveland.

Anderson strained his left hamstring in just the fourth game of the season. The injury wasn't a particularly bad one, however, so he's returning to action after a minimum-length stay on the injured list. Nick Williams was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

Rojas is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against Atlanta, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Rojas is hitting .275 with zero home runs and three steals through 10 games. Jazz Chisholm will start at shortstop while Jon Berti gets the start at the keystone.

Lindor went 2-for-4 with a walk and two runs scored in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Phillies.

A new team and the pressure of a big contract extension might have contributed to Lindor's sluggish start to the year, but the 27-year-old appears to be finding his stroke at the plate. He's still only batting ,222 (6-for-27) through eight games, but a stellar 7:2 BB:K has fueled his .389 OBP, and it seems only a matter of time before he breaks out.

Bogaerts went 2-for-4 with two doubles in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Twins.

Bogaerts has been seeing the ball well this season and has recorded hits in six of his last seven contests, posting four multi-hit outings during that stretch. The shortstop has yet to go deep this season, but he's hitting a robust .375 with a .894 OPS through his first 43 plate appearances.
