Manager Alex Cora said he expects Bogaerts (ankle) to play in Thursday's series finale against the Athletics, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

Bogaerts is sitting out Wednesday's game after fouling a ball off his foot Tuesday, though he never actually exited Tuesday's contest. After the foul ball, Bogaerts was thrown out at third base trying for a triple during the ninth inning. The team didn't provide an official diagnosis, but it appears the 26-year-old is just dealing with a sore ankle/foot and may make a quick return to the lineup. Brock Holt is filling in at shortstop for the Red Sox in his absence.

Story went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base during a 1-0 victory against the Rays on Wednesday. He was also caught stealing.

The Rockies' shortstop picked up his first steal but also his second caught stealing of the young season. Last season, he posted a career-high 27 steals and was caught only six times. Story is 5-for-25 (.200) with a homer, two RBI and the one stolen base in seven games to open 2019.

Bogaerts is not in Wednesday's lineup against the A's after fouling a ball off his foot in Tuesday's game, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

There is no official diagnosis for Bogaerts, but he stayed in for the entirety of Tuesday night's game, so it seems like he is probably day-to-day with a sore ankle/foot. Brock Holt starts at shortstop in his place.

Diaz will get a start at first base this weekend against the A's, Jake Kaplan of The Athletic reports.

He has been getting more work there recently before games, and the Astros are ready to give him his first career start there this weekend. Already capable of playing the other three infield positions and left field, this will make Diaz an even more versatile utility option for Houston, although it doesn't do much for his fantasy value.

Camargo will start in left field and bat sixth Wednesday against the Cubs.

Camargo serves as the Braves' utility man as he's capable of manning every infield position and sliding into the outfield as is the case Wednesday. He'll fill in for Ender Inciarte in left field with Jon Lester taking the hill for the Cubs. Camargo has five plate appearances so far this year, going 0-for-4 with a walk.

Adrianza is hitting eighth and starting at shortstop Wednesday against Kansas City, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Jonathan Schoop will have the day off Wednesday, which gives Adrianza his first start of the year. Adrianza will be the main middle-infield utility reserve with Marwin Gonzalez starting the year as the primary third baseman, so if either Schoop or shortstop Jorge Polanco go down, Adrianza should be the next man up.

Anderson (paternity) says he will play in Thursday's home opener against the Mariners, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

The White Sox placed Anderson on the paternity list Wednesday, despite the fact he had been away from the team since Monday, and while he could wait until this weekend to return, it sounds like Anderson is intent on getting back for the home opener. Jose Rondon is starting at shortstop and hitting seventh Wednesday.

The Nationals placed Turner (finger) on the 10-day injured list Wednesday.

Infielder Adrian Sanchez was recalled from Triple-A Fresno in a corresponding move, but Wilmer Difo is expected to serve as the Nationals' everyday shortstop while Turner is out indefinitely with a broken right index finger. A firm timeline for Turner's return may not be established until he's re-evaluated by doctors, but general manager Mike Rizzo noted Wednesday that the fact that Turner suffered a clean break of the finger on his throwing hand may necessitate a longer recovery, per Brittany Ghiroli of The Athletic. Rizzo suggested that Turner would likely need more time to heal than the three weeks teammate Matt Adams required after breaking a finger in 2018.

The White Sox placed Anderson (personal) on the paternity list Wednesday.

Anderson was scratched from the lineup for Monday's series opener after his wife went into labor, but that won't count toward his paternity leave. With the White Sox waiting until Wednesday to make a roster move, Anderson will now have up to three days to spend with his wife and newborn. Assuming he takes the maximum amount of time off, Anderson should check back into the starting nine for Saturday's home game against the Mariners. Yolmer Sanchez will fill in for Anderson at shortstop Wednesday.

Mondesi went 3-for-5 with a double, a home run, two RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's 5-4 extra-inning loss to the Twins.

The homer was of the inside-the-park variety, as Mondesi launched a ball to the deepest part of center field in the eighth inning and raced around the bases after Byron Buxton couldn't flag it down. The home run and steal were each the first of the season for the shortstop, but fantasy GMs who bought into his hype this offseason will be expecting plenty more of each.
