Baldoquin (hamstring) was placed on the 7-day disabled list Thursday, Alden Gonzalez of MLB.com reports.

Baldoquin left Tuesday's game for High-A Inland Empire with an apparent hamstring injury, and though Gonzalez notes that the injury isn't believed to be serious, he'll land on the DL as a precaution. As a top-10 prospect in the Angels' system, it makes sense for the organization to take a cautious approach with him. He'll be eligible to come off the disabled list April 21.

Mateo, 20, is batting .346/.414/.538 with three RBI and three steals through six games for High-A Tampa.

Mateo has been scalding the ball out of the gate, but speed remains his primary weapon. The speedster swiped 82 bags in 117 games in 2015.

Bogaerts went 2-for-4 with a double, two steals and two RBI in Wednesday's win over the Orioles.

That's hits in six straight for the young shortstop, and the two early swipes are nice to see after Bogaerts increased his output to 10 steals last year. He makes a lot of good contact, which helps him hit for average, but it'd be nice to see Bogaerts boost his power totals as well as his speed. At just 23 years old, he's certainly in position to do so.

Mondesi, 20, is batting .280/.333/.640 with two home runs, six RBI and four steals through six games at Double-A Northwest Arkansas.

This could be the breakout season for Mondesi, who has always had a bit more speed than power, though still may be developing a power stroke at his young age. He has been pushed hard by the Royals, but has not been overwhelmed at any level thus far. Mondesi is on pace to battle for a big-league roster spot in 2017.

Anderson was diagnosed Wednesday with a left wrist strain and will miss three-to-five days, MLB.com's Scott Merkin reports.

This is a minor ailment that should not affect Anderson's season as a whole, but look for the White Sox to be extra careful with when they bring him back, as he is easily the team's top prospect. Unsurprisingly, Jimmy Rollins is slashing .160/.185/.320 as the big league shortstop, so if Anderson can get healthy and get going offensively at Triple-A, he could receive a call-up before the All-Star break.

Baldoquin left Tuesday's game for High-A Inland Empire with a hamstring injury, 66ers broadcaster Steve Wendt reports.

He apparently aggravated the injury while running out a double in the fourth inning. Baldoquin is a top-10 prospect in the Angels system, but that says more about how bad that farm system is than it does about Baldoquin as a prospect. Consider him day-to-day.

Lindor hit his first home run Tuesday against the Rays, part of a 2-for-4 performance in the loss.

Lindor's homer was one of just five hits allowed by Rays starter Matt Moore. Lindor is on a tear to begin the season, with a .368/.429/.526 line in his first 21 plate appearances. Lindor showed surprising power for this early stage of his career with 12 home runs last year, and he's starting right where he left off in 2016.

Bogaerts went 3-for-5 with a double and three runs scored in Friday's 8-7 victory over the Blue Jays.

After starting the new season in an 0-for-9 funk, Bogaerts broke out with his first three hits of the season. His slow start notwithstanding, the standout shortstop is fully expected to thrive in the three-hole this season, and build on his .320/.355./.421 line from 2015.

Correa went 4-for-5 with two solo home runs in a 16-6 loss to the Yankees on Wednesday.

The star shortstop hit both of his home runs off Michael Pineda to bring his total to three on the young season. Many fantasy owners invested a mid-first round pick on Correa, so his hot start is certainly encouraging.

Sardinas is in the lineup Wednesday, batting seventh as the Mariners' left fielder, Bob Dutton of the Tacoma News-Tribune reports.

Sardinas saw his first action of the season Tuesday as a pinch-hitter , going 1-for-2 with a pair of RBI. He'll parlay that into a spot in the lineup Wednesday against Rangers' right-hander Colby Lewis. Sardinas is naturally a second-baseman, but he does have the versatility to see time in the outfield when the situation calls for it.
