Rojas (ankle) remains out of the lineup Wednesday against the Braves, Andre Fernandez of the Miami Herald reports.

Rojas left the second game of Monday's doubleheader against the Braves with a left ankle bruise. He'll wind up missing at least two starts.

Baez will serve as the leadoff hitter and man second base against the Brewers on Wednesday.

This marks just the third time all year that Baez has hit atop the order as manager Joe Maddon elects to shake things up following Tuesday's defeat. Since the All-Star break, Baez is hitting .295 with a .925 OPS and 17 RBI in 24 games. Don't expect him to remain the first hitter moving forward, though Maddon could decide to keep it going for a little while if the offense performs during Wednesday's matinee.

Anderson is not in the lineup versus the Tigers on Wednesday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Anderson will take a seat for the series finale after picking up two hits during Tuesday's victory. In his absence, Yolmer Sanchez will start at shortstop while Matt Davidson gets the nod at third base.

Crawford (concussion) is out of the league's concussion protocol and expects to return to the starting lineup Wednesday against the Dodgers, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic Bay Area reports.

Crawford was held out of the lineup after experiencing concussion-like symptoms from an outfield collision Monday. The All-Star shortstop was available to pinch hit after being cleared for action Tuesday, and he will return to his usual starting role Wednesday. Crawford is slashing .275/.346/.431 with 11 homers and 45 RBI this year.

Mondesi went 4-for-4 with a run, an RBI, two doubles and three stolen bases in Tuesday's loss to the Blue Jays.

Mondesi slashed a couple singles and notched his seventh and eighth doubles of the year. The young shortstop also accomplished the feat of three stolen bags in a game -- giving him 15 on the season -- twice stealing third base. This was the third time in 38 games this season that Mondesi has stolen multiple bases in a game. The 23-year-old is hitting .279 with four home runs, 15 RBI and 22 runs scored on the year.

Story went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Tuesday's win over the Astros.

Story took reliever Brad Peacock deep in the eighth inning for his 25th homer of the year. Story leads all MLB shortstops in RBI (82) while trailing only Cleveland's Francisco Lindor in home runs (29) at the position. The 25-year-old is hitting .290/.347/.552 with 33 doubles and 15 stolen bases, and is riding a nice 11-game hitting streak.

Crawford (head) is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Dodgers, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

Crawford is apparently dealing with some ill effects from the collision that forced him from Monday's contest, so Alen Hanson will pick up a start at shortstop in his stead. Consider the veteran infielder day-to-day for now.

Gordon (shoulder) is starting at second base and hitting ninth Tuesday against the A's, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.

Gordon, who was a late scratch from Monday's lineup, is slated to rejoin the starting nine after missing the previous two games with a shoulder injury. The speedster is hitting .278/.300/.339 with 27 stolen bases through 107 games this season. He'll face veteran right-hander Mike Fiers in his return to the starting nine.

Rojas (ankle) is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Braves, Andre Fernandez of the Miami Herald reports.

Rojas will retreat to the bench after exiting Game 2 of Monday's doubleheader with a bruised left ankle. JT Riddle will start at shortstop and hit sixth in his stead. Consider the shortstop day-to-day.

Bogaerts (finger) is back in action Tuesday against the Phillies, Evan Drellich of NBC Sports Boston reports.

Bogaerts sat out Sunday's game against the Orioles with a jammed finger, but the issue was evidently not a significant one, as he's back in the lineup following Monday's off day. The shortstop has three steals and a .933 OPS over his last 10 games.
