Anderson went 3-for-6 with a run scored in Tuesday's 11-4 win over the Angels.

Anderson did well in a table-setting role, but a hitless performance from Andrew Vaughn in the No. 2 spot limited the leadoff hitter's involvement in run production. This was Anderson's 10th three-hit game of the year. He's batting an excellent .344/.382/.467 with five home runs, 19 RBI, 29 runs scored, 10 stolen bases and nine doubles through 207 plate appearances. A career-best 11.6 percent strikeout rate has amplified his steady contact skills, while his counting stats are lagging due to a groin injury that cost him three weeks.

Smith exited Tuesday's win over the Royals with a right calf contusion, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

Smith hit leadoff and went 1-for-3 with a walk and two runs, but he fouled a pitch off he calf and was lifted for a pinch hitter during the eighth inning. The 24-year-old's removal was labeled precautionary, so there's a chance he'll be available for Wednesday's series finale in Kansas City.

Fletcher (hip) advanced to hitting on the field Tuesday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

The 28-year-old continues to progress in his rehab work after undergoing surgery to repair the adductor muscles in both legs May 10. Fletcher will be eligible to be reinstated from the 60-day injured list in a couple weeks, but he's unlikely to be ready at that point since he figures to require at least a handful of rehab games in the minors.

Correa went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in a 3-2 loss to Cleveland during the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader.

His eighth-inning shot off Sam Hentges gave the Twins a brief 2-1 lead, but Emilio Pagan handed it right back to the Guardians in the bottom of the frame. Correa extended his hitting streak to eight games with the performance, a stretch during which he's batting .344 (11-for-32) with four of his nine homers on the year.

Mateo went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 9-2 win over the Mariners.

Mateo has gone yard twice in his last three games, and he now has six homers on the year. He's shown decent pop for a shortstop with a .140 ISO in 68 contests. The 27-year-old is slashing .201/.250/.341 with 19 stolen bases, 18 RBI and 24 runs scored across 246 plate appearances, and he's taken on a near-everyday role this year.

Correa went 1-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Monday's 11-1 win over the Guardians.

Correa's home run -- his eighth of the season -- was one of three on the day for the Twins, who rolled to a comfortable victory in the series opener. The long ball also extended Correa's hit streak to seven games, with the 27-year-old having produced a 1.023 OPS over that stretch. He'll be back in the lineup for the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader in Cleveland, manning shortstop while batting second.

Witt went 1-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base in Monday's 10-4 loss to the Rangers.

The rookie is putting the finishing touches on a solid June. Through 24 games on the month, Witt has a .264/.324/.505 slash line with five of his 11 homers and five of his 12 steals in addition to 14 RBI and 17 runs. While there could be more growing pains ahead, the 22-year-old could also be gearing up for a very big second half.

Anderson went 1-for-3 with a walk, a run and two stolen bases in Monday's loss to the Angels.

As usual, Anderson hit atop the lineup and served as an instigator for the White Sox offense. He singled to lead off the fourth and subsequently swiped second and third base, though he was left stranded without crossing the plate. The shortstop then scored Chicago's first run after walking in the sixth inning. Anderson has once again been one of the league's best hitters this season, slashing .339/.378/.466 with five homers, 28 runs, 19 RBI and 10 stolen bases over 201 plate appearances. He's on pace for his fourth straight season with a batting average over .300.

Crawford has been suspended five games for his role in Sunday's brawl with the Angels, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Crawford was one of seven players to be suspended for the incident, though his ban was among the longest of the group. He is appealing the discipline, so he remains in the Mariners' lineup as the starting shortstop while hitting leadoff Monday against the Orioles.

Smith isn't in the lineup for Monday's game against the Royals.

Smith started in four of the last five games and went 2-for-12 with a run, a stolen base, four walks and three strikeouts. Charlie Culberson is starting at the hot corner and batting ninth.
