Anderson (forearm) is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Astros.

Anderson was hit by a pitch late in Thursday's game and was feeling some soreness after the game, so he will take the day off Friday, although he'll be available off the bench if needed. Leury Garcia will take over at shortstop for the White Sox, while Anderson should still be considered day-to-day.

Gordon went 2-for-4 with an RBI single, a triple and a run in a win over the Angels on Thursday.

Gordon hit safely for the fourth consecutive game while lacing his third three-bagger of the season in the process. The speedy infielder hit a mediocre .248 in June, but factoring in Thursday's production, he's 5-for-16 with a steal so far in July.

Anderson is day-to-day with a sore forearm, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

Anderson was hit by a pitch in the eighth inning of Thursday's loss to the Astros and was reportedly dealing with some soreness after the game. With that, the White Sox will reevaluate their starting shortstop Friday before making a decision on whether to keep Anderson in the lineup or give him the day off. If Anderson is given the day off, Yolmer Sanchez could slide over to shortstop.

Manager A.J. Hinch said Thursday that Correa (back) is not expected to return from the 10-day DL this weekend against the White Sox, Julia Morales of AT&T SportsNet reports.

As expected, Correa will not be rushed back into action, as the 23-year-old has yet to resume baseball activities after landing on the shelf last Friday. With just seven games left before the All-Star break following the Astros' four-game set against Chicago weekend, it may be determined that the best course of action is to keep Correa out until the second half of the season.

Wendle went 2-for-2 with a walk in a loss to the Marlins on Wednesday.

Wendle was one of the few Rays to enjoy a productive day at the plate, extending what has been a strong start to July. Factoring in Wednesday's production, Wendle boasts a pair of multi-hit efforts over his three starts in the new month, going 5-for-11 (.455) during that span.

Mondesi is out of the lineup against the Indians on Wednesday, Maria Torres of the Kansas City Star reports.

Mondesi will hit the bench after going 2-for-4 with one run during Tuesday's contest. In his place, Alcides Escobar will man shortstop and bat eighth in the order.

Manager A.J. Hinch said Tuesday that Correa (back) is still not participating in baseball activities, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Back stiffness forced Correa to the disabled list last Friday and he remains effectively shut down, meaning a return this weekend when first eligible is pretty much out of the question. At this point, a return before the All-Star break may be a stretch. Hopefully this extended rest allows Correa to get back to the level of performance we're accustomed to seeing from him. He was slashing .268/.352/.480 before hitting the DL, down from .315/.391/.550 last season.

Anderson went 2-for-6 with a stolen base and two runs scored in Tuesday's 12-8 extra-innings win over the Reds.

Anderson's batting average and on-base percentage remain mediocre, but he's delivered value in other areas. The stolen base was his team-high 18th, and he also leads the team with 47 runs scored. Until a couple of weeks ago, we couldn't even describe his average as mediocre -- he was hitting .230 on June 20 -- but Anderson's hit safely in 11 of last 12 games, going 18-for-49 (.367) with 11 runs, two home runs and seven RBI.

Bogaerts is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Nationals.

Bogaerts moves to the bench following a stretch of nine straight starts that concluded Tuesday, when he went 2-for-3 with a home run, two walks and three RBI. Brock Holt receives the starting nod at shortstop in the series finale and will bat second.

Fletcher led off and went 1-for-4 in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Mariners.

Fletcher has recently taken over as the Halos' primary option at the hot corner, starting six of the club's last seven contests. Designated hitter Shohei Ohtani's return from the disabled list could complicate that situation, pushing Albert Pujols back to first base and creating a platoon at third with Luis Valbuena and Fletcher. The rookie has performed adequately through his first 44 games (.317/.364/.390), so there is a chance that he has done enough to avoid falling on the short side of a platoon. The Angels are scheduled to take on three right-handed starters over their next four games, and the lineups for those games will provide a clearer picture regarding Fletcher's role moving forward.
