Anderson will not be in the lineup for Wednesday's game against Pittsburgh, Andy Masur of WGN Radio reports.

Anderson will sit for the first time this season as the White Sox are in the early stages of a 16-day stretch without a scheduled off day. In his place, Yolmer Sanchez will start at shortstop and Matt Davidson will man third base. Over 38 games this season, Anderson is hitting .239 with a .729 OPS, seven home runs, 11 RBI and 10 stolen bases.

Crawford went 4-for-4 with a double and two runs scored in Tuesday's win over the visiting Reds.

This was Crawford's eighth multi-hit game since the beginning of May, and he's raised his average from .191 on May 1 to .290 now. The shortstop has nine doubles to go along with three home runs and 15 RBI.

Gordon is taking grounders at second base in anticipation of a possible position change, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Gordon, who made the transition to center field this season when he was traded to the Mariners, could be switching back to second base after Robinson Cano (finger) was popped with an 80-game suspension for failing a drug test. This shouldn't really have an effect on his fantasy value for this season, as he's already eligible at the keystone in most leagues thanks to his work there in 2017.

Diaz (ankle) began a hitting progression Tuesday, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Diaz continues to ramp up his activity as he slowly works his way back from a sprained ankle. He also began running lightly. While Diaz is making solid progress in his recovery, the 27-year-old remains without a timetable for his return. For now, Richard Urena and Giovanny Urshela will continue to man shortstop in his stead.

Rojas (wrist) is in the lineup Tuesday against the Dodgers, Eric Stephen of TrueBlueLA.com reports.

Rojas suffered a bruised wrist after being hit by a pitch Sunday. He left the game, but the issue was apparently a minor one as he's already back in the lineup.

Bichette went 3-for-5 with a double and two runs for Double-A New Hampshire in its 10-5 win over Hartford on Monday.

The three hits matched Bichette's total from the previous six games combined, spelling an end to the young shortstop's longest slump of the season. While it was good to see Bichette turn in a solid performance to lift his on-base percentage to a respectable .353 for the campaign, he hasn't been able to replicate the power production he delivered during his first two professional seasons. The 20-year-old has yet to hit a home run through 150 plate appearances and carries a .403 slugging percentage, a 162-point drop from the mark he posted between two levels of A-ball in 2017.

Wendle is out of the lineup Monday against the Royals, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

As per usual, Wendle will take a seat on the bench with a southpaw (Eric Skoglund) starting for the opposition. Daniel Robertson will start at the keystone and hit fifth in his stead.

Camargo is on the bench Monday as the Braves take on the Cubs.

Camargo had started every game at shortstop since Dansby Swanson (wrist) hit the disabled list in early May. He's hitting just .196 through 19 games, but his .339 on-base percentage and .392 slugging percentage are both respectable. He can probably blame BABIP luck at least somewhat for his low batting average, as it sits at just .216 despite a 43.6 percent hard-hit rate. Charlie Culberson will start at shortstop in his place Monday.

Turner went 1-for-3 with two walks, a solo home run, a stolen base and a second run scored in Sunday's win over the Diamondbacks.

After a slow start in the power department, Turner's now launched three homers in the last week to give him five on the year. Hitting at the top of the Nats' order is limiting his RBI opportunities -- all three of those recent home runs were solo shots -- but otherwise the 24-year-old is supplying fantasy value across the board, and Turner's career-high 14.8 percent walk rate is giving him an additional boost in OBP leagues.

X-rays on Rojas' bruised left wrist were negative Sunday but his immediate availability remains uncertain, Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald reports.

He left the game against the Braves after being hit on the wrist by a pitch, finishing 0-for-1 with a walk. Rojas was replaced at first base by Derek Dietrich. The Marlins have an off-day Monday, and Rojas should be considered questionable for Tuesday's game against the Dodgers.
