Rojas is not in the starting lineup against the Phillies on Wednesday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Rojas is sitting for the second time in three games after being activated off the injured list. Chris Taylor will handle shortstop duties and hit ninth against the Phillies on Wednesday.

Anderson went 0-for-4 with a walk Tuesday against the Twins.

Anderson was in the lineup for the first time since April 10 after being sidelined with a knee issue. He immediately returned to the top of the order and reached base in the bottom of the sixth inning on a free pass. Anderson has a very limited sample in the new campaign, though he did show significant aggression on the basepaths with five stolen bases in his first 11 games.

Abrams went 3-for-3 with two runs scored and an RBI in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Cubs.

The 22-year-old shortstop has been flirting with the Mendoza Line most of the season, but Abrams appears to have a found a groove at the plate. Over his last 15 games, he's slashing .275/.315/.431 with two doubles, two homers, seven runs and nine RBI, solid production from a player who routinely hits near the bottom of one of baseball's weakest lineups.

Volpe went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a second run scored and two stolen bases in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Guardians.

The rookie shortstop got the Yankees on the board by taking Tanner Bibee deep in the sixth inning, and Volpe came home with the game's final run in the eighth after getting himself over to third base after a single. Tuesday's activity on the basepaths snapped a 10-game streak without a stolen base for the 22-year-old, but he's a perfect 10-for-10 on steal attempts to begin his MLB career, and his bat has come around too. After a shaky first couple weeks at the plate, Volpe is slashing .275/.375/.449 over his last 20 games.

Witt went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's loss to the Orioles.

Witt led off the bottom of the first with a no doubter to center field, but he could not generate anything else at the plate. The 23-year-old has yet to find some consistency on offense so far this season. He's now slashing .221/.264/.410 with five homers, 11 RBI, 18 runs, seven steals and a 7:28 BB:K over 129 plate appearances.

Neto went 2-for-5 with an RBI in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Cardinals.

Neto singled home a run in the sixth to pad the Angels' lead to 5-1. The 22-year-old is beginning to settle in as the leadoff man for the Halos after starting his third consecutive game in the No. 1 spot. He has multiple hits in three of his last four games and is now slashing .263/.354/.333 with five RBI, four runs and a 1:10 BB:K over 65 plate appearances.

Turner went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Tuesday's 13-1 loss to the Dodgers.

The Phillies mustered only two hits Tuesday, with Turner's blast off Julio Urias accounting for the visitors' lone run. After hitting .298 with an .809 OPS with the Dodgers last year, Turner's Phillies career is off to a slower start. He's slashed .262/.304/.392 with three homers, eight RBI, 18 runs scored and four stolen bases over 138 plate appearances, but he's also striking out at a 24.6 percent rate. He's shown signs of turning things around by hitting safely in each of the last four games.

Franco went 1-for-3 with a walk, an RBI and a stolen base Tuesday against the Pirates.

Franco grounded into a pair of double plays but rebounded with an RBI single in the fifth inning. He proceeded to swipe second base on a double steal, during which Jose Siri also stole home. Franco now has seven stolen bases across 121 plate appearances on the season after swiping only 10 bases across 652 career plate appearances entering the campaign.

Duran went 3-for-4 with a double, a two-run home run and an additional run in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Diamondbacks.

The Rangers fell behind 4-1 but took the lead for good with a sixth-inning two-run shot from Duran. With Corey Seager on the 10-day injured list, Duran is getting an extended look at shortstop and delivering nicely with a .328/.357/.522 slash line.

Tovar went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's win over the Brewers.

Tovar cranked a Freddy Peralta fastball 460 feet in the third inning to start the scoring. It was the shortstop's first home run of the season and second of his career. The 21-year-old is off to a slow start, slashing .217/.265/.337. Adding to the disappointment, Tovar has yet to pick up his first career big-league steal after swiping 74 bags across four seasons in the minors.
