Mendick started at shortstop and went 1-for-3 with a walk and an RBI in Wednesday's 8-4 loss to Seattle.

Mendick was called up by the White Sox after the team placed Tim Anderson (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list. Leury Garcia is expected to get most of the starts in Anderson's place.

Marte exited Wednesday's game at Colorado with an apparent right hamstring injury, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

The 27-year-old pulled up and appeared to grab at his right hamstring during the sixth inning, and he was subsequently helped off the field by training staff. Marte entered Wednesday's contest 12-for-23 with two homers and four doubles through five games, and it would be an enormous loss for the Diamondbacks should he be forced to miss time.

Semien went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Wednesday's 2-1 loss to the Rangers.

Semien got the Blue Jays on the board with his homer off Rangers reliever Matt Bush in the eighth inning. Through six games, Semien has racked up three homers, five RBI, three runs scored and a pair of walks. He's slashing .240/.296/.600 across 27 plate appearances.

India went 1-for-2 with three RBI and was also hit by a pitch during Wednesday's 11-4 win over the Pirates.

The rookie infielder brought home a run on a sacrifice fly during the first inning, and he added two more RBI on a two-run single during the fifth inning. India has begun his major-league career on a six-game hit streak and is 10-for-21 with one triple, one double, four runs and 10 RBI.

Torres will start at shortstop and bat second Wednesday against the Orioles.

The 24-year-old has batted out of either the fourth or fifth spot in the lineup in each of the Yankees' first five games, but he'll slide into the two hole with Aaron Judge (side) sitting out the series finale. Torres heads into Wednesday's contest with a five-game hit streak on the line, but only one of his five hits (a double) has gone for extra bases.

Andrus will start at shortstop and bat eighth Wednesday against the Dodgers.

Andrus has picked up starts in all seven of the Athletics' games, but he has yet to take advantage of the steady playing time. He's one of several hitters struggling at the moment for the 0-6 Athletics, as Andrus has recorded just one hit through his first 21 at-bats.

McNeil is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies.

After going 0-for-7 with a walk while starting at second base in the first two games of the season-opening series in Philadelphia, McNeil will take a seat against Phillies right-hander Aaron Nola. McNeil should still be a fixture in the lineup against both right- and left-handed pitching, but manager Luis Rojas may just have wanted to get an early-season look at utility man Jonathan Villar, who will cover second base Wednesday.

Mendick is starting Wednesday's game against Seattle.

Mendick was recalled by the White Sox after Tim Anderson (hamstring) was placed on the injured list Wednesday. While Leury Garcia should see most of the at-bats at shortstop in Anderson's absence, Mendick will start at shortstop and bat ninth in the series finale against the Mariners.

Mendick was recalled by the White Sox on Wednesday.

Mendick was sent to the White Sox's alternate training site to begin the year, but he'll be called up to serve as infield depth after Tim Anderson (hamstring) was placed on the injured list Wednesday. Leury Garcia should serve as the primary shortstop in Anderson's absence, but Mendick could see some playing time as a backup.

Frazier is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

After a sizzling spring training, Frazier has largely struggled to keep the momentum going into the regular season. While leading off in the Pirates' first five games, Frazier has gone 3-for-18 with a triple, double, four walks and a stolen base. He still appears to be locked in as Pittsburgh's table setter, but Frazier will get a breather for the series finale Wednesday and cede leadoff duties to Kevin Newman.
