Anderson (shoulder) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rangers, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.

It's the third straight start Anderson has missed due to right shoulder soreness. He's considered day-to-day and it's possible he'll be ready to play Wednesday, but with an off day Thursday, it might make sense for the White Sox to go ahead and hold him out until Friday. Elvis Andrus will again handle shortstop Tuesday while Zach Remillard takes over at second base.

Witt went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a stolen base in Monday's 6-4 loss to the Tigers.

Witt hit a home run and stole a base in the same game for the third time this year. It was the 23-year-old's sixth multi-hit outing of June, and he's slashing .323/.373/.452 during that 16-game stretch. His overall slash line (.248/.289/.434) could still use some work, but Witt has 12 home runs and 22 stolen bases through 71 games (308 plate appearances), giving him a formidable and well-rounded fantasy ceiling.

Reyes went 2-for-3 with a walk and three runs scored in Monday's 9-3 win over Minnesota.

Reyes started at shortstop for the fifth time in the last six games -- the lone non-start was in the second game of Sunday's doubleheader -- and continued hitting well. He's gone 7-for-17 with one double, three RBI and five runs scored since becoming the primary shortstop. Red Sox manager Alex Cora noted to Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com that he does not view Reyes as an everyday player, which suggests he's keeping the position warm until Yu Chang (wrist) is ready to be activated from the injured list.

White Sox manager Pedro Grifol said Monday that "reports are good" on Anderson (shoulder) and he remains day-to-day, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Anderson is missing a second straight start Monday due to right shoulder soreness. However, it sounds like he has a pretty good chance to avoid the injured list. "He's actually OK," Grifol said. "He's day to day, reports were good. He's still a little sore. So I'll check with him after the game, after the round of treatments, see what we'll do tomorrow. Reports are good and he's day to day. It's not too bad."

Anderson (shoulder) is out of the lineup Monday versus the Rangers.

Anderson will miss a second game in a row as he deals with right shoulder soreness. Elvis Andrus will draw another start at shortstop while Zach Remillard takes over at second base and bats ninth in the series opener with Texas.

Baez is not in the starting lineup Monday versus the Royals.

Baez will take a seat Monday after he went 5-for-15 with a homer, two triples, six RBI, four runs scored and a stolen base while starting all four games of the team's series against Minnesota. Zack Short will draw the start at shortstop and bat ninth in the opener with Kansas City.

Volpe went 0-for-7 with five strikeouts and a stolen base across both games of a doubleheader against Boston on Sunday.

Volpe batted out of the No. 9 spot in each contest, and he saw his season average drop to .189 with the 0-for-7 line. The rookie shortstop had curtailed his strikeout rate a bit coming into Sunday, having fanned just four times over his previous 23 plate appearances, but his overall 30.9 percent strikeout rate on the campaign is a concern. Volpe did at least manage a steal in the nightcap, giving him 15 on the season, but even that category has dried up for him of late -- Sunday's theft was just his second in his past 31 contests.

Baez went 2-for-4 with a triple, an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Twins.

Baez wrapped up a productive weekend series against Minnesota, going 5-for-15 with two triples, a home run and six RBI in four games. The shortstop now has a .741 OPS this month, compared to a .620 OPS for the season, so he is beginning to trend in the right direction.

Duran went 4-for-5 with a double and three runs scored in Sunday's 11-7 win over Toronto.

Duran shook off a 2-for-19 slump with his first four-hit effort of the season. He'll continue to be Texas' primary left fielder, a spot he didn't own when the season began. Duran earned it with his bat and is slashing .309/.356/.509 through 52 games.

Seager went 4-for-5 with two doubles, three RBI and one run scored in Sunday's win over Toronto.

Sunday's contest marked Seager's fourth multi-hit contest in his last eight games, while his two doubles set a season high. Seager has boasted one of baseball's top bats through 40 games, owning a .363/.420/.656 slash line with 10 homers, 40 RBI and 29 runs scored while striking out just 16.6 percent of the time.
