Anderson (illness) is not in Thursday's lineup against the Indians.

Anderson will miss a second straight contest while Tyler Saladino fills in at shortstop. Over his last three games, Anderson has gone 7-for-11 from the plate, and could be back in the lineup for Friday's series opener against the Giants.

Anderson was scratched from Wednesday's lineup against the Indians due to an illness, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Anderson is apparently feeling under the weather, so Tyler Saladino will slide into the starting lineup in his place. Consider Anderson day-to-day for now.

Adrianza went 2-for-4 with a home run, three RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's win over the Rays.

Starting in left field and batting ninth, Adrianza knocked a three-run homer off Blake Snell in the second inning. It was his second long ball of the season and fifth of his career (210 games). The 29-year-old is seeing only sporadic starts, and when he is in the lineup, Adrianza's daily fantasy appeal is limited given his track record.

O'Malley was outrighted to Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday.

O'Malley was designated for assignment at the beginning of September to open a spot on Seattle's 40-man roster. O'Malley's performance with Tacoma was underwhelming this season, as he hit .205 with a .532 OPS over 20 games.

Wendle was recalled from Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday.

A shoulder injury delayed Wendle at the start of the season and he went on to post an underwhelming .285/.327/.429 line with Nashville. The 27-year-old can help out all around the infield, but he's not a key part of the club's long-term plans and thus probably won't be given much of a look in the weeks ahead.

Bogaerts, who has sat out the last three games, could return to the lineup Monday against Toronto, according to manager John Farrell, Chad Jennings of the Boston Herald reports.

Farrell mentioned Bogaerts being "banged up" and cited a litany of minor ailments while also acknowledging the three-game break was about giving him a break after a two-month slump -- a downturn that can be traced back to when he was hit by a pitch on the hand July 6. Monday is a good spot for Bogaerts, as the Red Sox will be facing a left-hander (J.A. Happ) in the series opener against the Blue Jays. He has an .820 career OPS against southpaws.

Correa went 1-for-3 with an RBI single a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 8-6 win over the Mets.

This was Correa's first game back since tearing a ligament in his left thumb July 17. Hand injuries can be tricky to return from, so we'll have to watch to see if he experiences any problems with swing mechanics or a drop-off in power.

Lindor went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, two RBI and a walk in Sunday's 11-1 crushing of the Tigers.

The shortstop's sixth-inning blast pushed his career-high total to 26 on the year. Lindor has 12 home runs through 200 second-half at-bats, compared to 14 blasts in 349 at-bats prior to the break. His OPS has jumped 50 points since the Midsummer Classic, and the 23-year-old is showing no signs of slowing down in the campaign's final month. He's hit safely in nine of his last 10 games while popping a deep fly in seven of his last 14 contests.

Anderson went 3-for-4 with a double, a solo home run, three RBI and two runs scored during Sunday's win over Tampa Bay.

With a .243/.262/.395 slash line for the campaign, Anderson's fantasy value is limited to deep settings. However, Sunday's blast was his 15th of the campaign, and the White Sox are going to be rolling out an impressive collection of young talents sooner than later, so his long-term outlook remains favorable.

Bogaerts is out of the lineup Sunday against the Yankees, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

With Bogaerts struggling to produce since returning from a hand injury, manager John Farrell will keep the shortstop on the bench for a third straight game in favor of Eduardo Nunez. It doesn't sound as though Farrell plans to proceed with Nunez as his primary option at the position, so Bogaerts' string of absences may be designed to give him more time to heal up and refine his approach in batting practice. That being said, with Bogaerts' playing-time outlook uncertain heading into the coming week, it may be tough to justify activating him in most shallow leagues.
