Bogaerts is day-to-day with lower back discomfort, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

Bogaerts was involved in a collision in the top of the eighth inning Friday and was replaced by a pinch hitter in the bottom half of the frame. Prior to his departure, he went 0-for-2 with a run, a walk and a strikeout. If the 29-year-old is forced to miss additional time, Christian Arroyo would likely see increased at-bats.

Bogaerts was removed from Friday's game against the Mariners in the bottom of the eighth inning after he was involved in a collision, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

Bogaerts appeared to be in considerable pain following the collision in the top of the eighth inning Friday but was initially able to remain in the game. However, he was replaced by a pinch hitter in the bottom half of the frame. The exact nature of the injury isn't yet clear, and his status for Saturday's game against Seattle hasn't yet been revealed.

Mondesi (knee) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Friday.

The 26-year-old underwent surgery to repair a torn ACL in his left knee last week, so it was only a matter of time before he moved to the 60-day IL. Mondesi isn't expected to return this season while going through an extensive recovery.

Anderson went 2-for-3 with two walks, two RBI, two stolen bases and a run scored Thursday against the Royals.

Anderson reached base on a walk in the second inning and proceeded to steal both second and third base. One frame later, he delivered a two-RBI single. Anderson continues to swing a hot bat, as he has tallied multiple hits in seven of his last 12 starts while also racking up five RBI and six runs scored. For the season, Anderson has maintained a .346/.386/.493 line to go along with four homers and seven stolen bases across 145 plate appearances.

Story went 4-for-4 with three home runs, seven RBI, five runs scored and a stolen base Thursday against the Mariners.

Story blasted a pair of two-run homers plus a three-run shot to bring his total on the season to five. Overshadowed by his powerful performance, Story also swiped his fifth bag of the campaign and has yet to be caught. He raised his OPS over 100 points with the effort but still owns a disappointing .230/.317/.413 line across 145 plate appearances for the season.

Mateo went 1-for-3 with a stolen base, an RBI and a run scored during Thursday's 9-6 win over the Yankees. He struck out twice.

Mateo gave the Orioles a 3-2 lead with an RBI single in the third and proceed to steal second base, his 11th of the season. The shortstop also reached on catcher's interference in the sixth and came around to score on a Cedric Mullins sacrifice fly. Mateo is hitting only .237 to start the season, but his 11 steals are tied with Julio Rodriguez for the most in the majors.

Crawford isn't starting Thursday against the Red Sox, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Crawford will get a chance to reset after he went 1-for-12 with a strikeout over the last three games. Dylan Moore will start at shortstop and bat eighth.

Witt went 2-for-4 with a solo home run -- his fourth of the season -- in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the White Sox.

The rookie delivered a modest .558 OPS in April, but he's begun to resemble the elite prospect he was billed as through the Royals' first 17 games of May. Over that three-week stretch, Witt is slashing .233/.292/.517 while providing all four of his home runs this month. He'll hit out of the No. 3 spot for the third game in a row in Thursday's series finale, with his ascension into a prominent spot in the lineup coinciding with Salvador Perez's (thumb) placement on the injured list.

Bogaerts went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Astros.

Bogaerts gave the Red Sox an early 2-1 lead with a solo blast in the first, which was his second home run of the three-game series. Across 15 games in May, the shortstop is slashing .281/.364/.820 with three homers and seven RBI.

Anderson went 3-for-5 with an RBI on Wednesday against the Royals.

Anderson was one of the few positives offensively for Chicago in the 6-2 loss, and he delivered an RBI single in the fifth inning. It was his sixth multi-hit game in his last 11 starts, during which he's tallied four RBI and five runs scored. For the season, Anderson has maintained a .338/.371/.489 line across 140 plate appearances.
