Tejada is not in Sunday's lineup, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

There is no concern of any injury for Tejada, but Paul Janish will fill in at shortstop for the second straight game against the Rays. Tejada has been in the midst of a slump at the plate but should return to the lineup for Tuesday's contest following an off-day Monday.

Pennington drew his second consecutive start at second base Friday, going 1-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in a loss to the Red Sox.

The veteran infielder got another start at the keystone after his three-hit game Thursday. Despite contributing to the box score, Pennington will move back to the bench Saturday in order to get Danny Espinosa back into the lineup. Both players have struggled mightily at the plate this season, so manager Mike Scioscia may choose to play matchups going forward.

Tejada isn't in Saturday's lineup against the Rays, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

Tejada has struggled at the dish lately, collecting just one hit in 16 at-bats over his last eight games. He'll get a day to clear his head, while Paul Janish will take over at shortstop and bat ninth for the Orioles.

Anderson went 0-for-2 before he was ejected from Friday's 3-0 loss to the Athletics for arguing an umpire's ruling.

Anderson chopped a ball at home plate that he thought was foul but was ruled fair and he was subsequently tagged out while standing still in the batter's box. His plea to home plate umpire Jim Wolf resulted in the first ejection of Anderson's career.

Adrianza (abdominal) was placed on the 10-day disabled list Thursday, Phil Miller of the Star Tribune reports.

The timing of Adrianza's injury is particularly unfortunate as he was coming off his best game of the season Wednesday in which he swiped three bags off the White Sox. He'll be on the shelf until at least early July, but the Twins have yet to give a timetable for his return. Minnesota is set to make a corresponding roster move Friday.

Featherston went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 8-3 win over the Reds.

Featherston is parlaying his current opportunity with the Rays into some decent production, as he's now slashing .273/.346/.591 and has hit safely in five of his last seven games. The 27-year-old's stint with the big-league club could be a fairly lengthy one if he can continue offering serviceable production, as Matt Duffy (heel) remains without a clear timetable for return.

Anderson is leading off and playing shortstop Thursday against the Twins, Colleen Kane of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Anderson will stare down Twins left-hander Nik Turley, so Chicago moved him up in the lineup to get a platoon advantage. This makes him a more valuable start for the likelihood of an extra plate appearance.

Correa went 2-for-5 with a solo homer and a pair of runs in Wednesday's win over the A's.

While Correa has yet to even attempt a stolen base this year after breaking double digits in each of the past two seasons, he's doing his finest work yet at the plate. Every component of his .301/.378/.521 slash line represents a career high, and with 14 homers already, he's on pace to blast past his career-best 22 from two seasons ago.

Adrianza went 1-for-4 with three steals and an RBI against the White Sox on Wednesday.

It's disappointing that he didn't score any runs despite his fine work on the bases, which doubled Adrianza's steal total for the season. As an unremarkable hitter and relatively little-used utility infielder, he's not going to find a place on many fantasy rosters.

Lindor went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and three RBI during Wednesday's win over Baltimore.

Now up to 14 homers, 33 RBI and 42 runs with a .256/.319/.491 slash line, Lindor is turning in another excellent fantasy campaign. His .251 BABIP is well below the .333 mark he posted through his first two seasons, so it's likely that his .256 batting average has positive regression ahead. Continue to view Lindor as a set-and-forget asset in all settings.
