    White Sox's Tim Anderson: Out 2-to-4 weeks with sprained knee

    The White Sox placed Anderson on the 10-day injured list Tuesday, and he's expected to be sidelined for 2-to-4 weeks with a sprained left knee, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

    Anderson sustained the injury in Monday's win over the Twins after he was involved in a collision on the field. Elvis Andrus should slide over to handle shortstop while Anderson is out, with Romy Gonzalez, Hanser Alberto and Lenyn Sosa all in the mix for reps at second base.

  • Anthony Volpe SS | NYY

    Yankees' Anthony Volpe: Getting first day off

    Volpe will not be in the Yankees' lineup for Tuesday's game in Cleveland, manager Aaron Boone told the Talkin' Yanks podcast Tuesday.

    It will be the rookie's first day off of the season after he started the first 10 games. Oswaldo Cabrera will be at shortstop Tuesday. Volpe has struggled out of the gate, going 4-for-31 at the dish. He has just one hit in his last five games.

  • Bobby Witt SS | KC

    Royals' Bobby Witt: Nabs second steal

    Witt went 1-for-3 with a walk, a run and a stolen base in Monday's loss to the Rangers.

    Things looked promising for Kansas City when Witt began the contest with a single, subsequently stole second base and came around to score on an error. That would prove to be the high point of hope for the Royals, however, as Texas scored the game's next 11 runs. Witt at least gave his fantasy managers something to celebrate with his second theft of the campaign, which he's complemented with two homers and four RBI. However, the second-year shortstop has struggled overall with a .158/.238/.316 slash line through 11 contests.

  • Corey Seager SS | TEX

    Rangers' Corey Seager: Mashes first homer

    Seager went 3-for-4 with a home run, a walk, two total runs and two total RBI in an 11-2 victory versus Kansas City on Monday.

    Seager entered Monday having hit a double in three straight games, though he hadn't gone deep yet this season. The shortstop couldn't continue the double streak, but he ended the homerless drought with a first-inning solo shot off Zack Greinke. Seager is slashing a solid .324/.435/.486 on the campaign, yet he's produced just four RBI thus far.

  • Miguel Rojas 2B | LAD

    Dodgers' Miguel Rojas: Out of lineup Monday

    Rojas is not in the Dodgers' lineup for Monday's game versus the Giants.

    Rojas returned to the lineup Sunday after missing some time with a groin injury, but manager Dave Robert indicated at the time the infielder would probably be back on the bench Monday as he's eased back into things. Chris Taylor is handling shortstop again.

  • Red Sox's Adalberto Mondesi: Takes BP and grounders

    Mondesi (knee) took batting practice and fielded grounders Monday in Tropicana Field, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

    Mondesi continues to make progress as he works his way back from the ACL tear he suffered in 2022. The speedy infielder is on the 60-day injured list, so he's not eligible to return to Boston until the end of May at the earliest. Once healthy, he could see plenty of time in the infield, and his speed gives him a chance for immediate fantasy relevancy.

  • Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo: Resting against lefty

    Perdomo is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Brewers.

    Perdomo has been the Diamondbacks' preferred option at shortstop in the early stages of the season, but he'll still likely sit regularly against left-handed pitchers like Milwaukee's Wade Miley. The righty-hitting Nick Ahmed will spell the lefty-hitting Perdomo in the series opener.

  • Joey Wendle 2B | ATL

    Marlins' Joey Wendle: No activities yet

    The Marlins announced Monday that Wendle (intercostal) remains shut down from baseball activities, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

    Wendle is a week removed from suffering a right intercostal strain and isn't ready to ramp things back up yet. He shouldn't take an extended period time to get back up to full speed once he's resumes baseball activities, but it's not clear when that might happen. He looks like he'll end up spending more than the minimum 10 days on the injured list.

  • Tim Anderson 2B | LAA

    White Sox's Tim Anderson: Receiving treatment on knee

    Anderson is currently receiving treatment on his knee, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

    Anderson was removed from Monday's victory over the Twins with left knee soreness in the sixth inning. The injury occurred when he made contact with a baserunner while attempting to bring in a poor throw on a rundown play. The shortstop is day-to-day for now, but there's a decent chance he'll sit Tuesday's game against Minnesota as a precaution at the very least.

    White Sox's Tim Anderson: Leaves early with knee soreness

    Anderson was removed from Monday's game against the Twins due to left knee soreness in the sixth inning after suffering the injury while playing the field in the bottom of the fourth, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports. He went 0-for-3 with a strikeout prior to his departure.

    Anderson sustained the knee injury when he was clipped by a baserunner while he attempted to corral an errant throw during a rundown play. Though he was able to get up on his own, walk off the injury and stay in the game for the final out of the fourth and the entire fifth inning, Anderson remained on the bench when the White Sox returned to the field for the bottom of the sixth. Expect the White Sox to provide an update on Anderson's condition later Monday once he's further evaluated, but for now, he can be viewed as day-to-day heading into Tuesday's contest.
