Anderson (groin) will require a trip to the injured list, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

Anderson sustained a right groin strain while fielding a grounder up the middle during Sunday's win over the Cubs, and he had to be helped off the field. While manager Tony La Russa doesn't yet know the severity of the 28-year-old's injury, La Russa said that the shortstop will "for sure" require a trip to the injured list. Leury Garcia and Danny Mendick should see additional playing time at shortstop while Anderson is sidelined.

Adames (ankle) is scheduled to make his second rehab appearance Monday at Triple-A Nashville, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

As a test of the health of Adames' sprained left ankle, the Brewers plan to have him play consecutive days in the minors before bringing him back from the 10-day injured list. He made a successful return to action at Single-A Carolina on Sunday, when he served as a designated hitter and went 1-for-2 with a home run and a walk. If Adames starts at shortstop Monday and comes out of the rehab game no worse for the wear, he could rejoin the Brewers for Tuesday's game in Chicago against the Cubs.

The Pirates acquired Chang from the Guardians on Sunday in exchange for cash, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Chang doesn't have minor-league options remaining, so the Pirates will need to clear room for the 26-year-old on the 40-man roster and 26-man active roster ahead of Monday's game against the Dodgers to facilitate the trade. With experience at all four infield spots, the righty-hitting Chang could prove to be a valuable bench piece who should play regularly against left-handed pitching. Over 358 career MLB plate appearances, Chang has slashed .208/.265/.372 (71 wRC+) with 10 home runs and one stolen base.

Lindor went 2-for-3 with a triple, a walk, three RBI and two runs in Saturday's 8-2 win over the Phillies.

After seeing his on-base streak come to an end in the second game of the Mets' May 21 doubleheader with the Rockies, Lindor has resumed raking at the dish. Over the six games that have followed, he's slashed .455/.500/1.000 with six extra-base hits, 14 RBI, 10 runs and a stolen base. He'll be in the lineup for Sunday's series finale, playing shortstop and batting third.

Anderson was diagnosed with a strained right groin after exiting Sunday's game against the Cubs.

The 28-year-old suffered the injury while fielding a grounder up the middle during the fifth inning Sunday, and he needed assistance leaving the field. Anderson will be further evaluated Monday, and there's a decent possibility he requires a stint on the injured list.

Anderson was removed from Sunday's game against the Cubs with an apparent right leg injury, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

Anderson suffered the injury during the fifth inning while making a play on a grounder up the middle, and he favored his right leg while being helped off the field. The 28-year-old went 1-for-2 prior to this exit, and his availability going forward will remain in question until more is known about the injury.

Bichette went 2-for-5 with a double and a run scored in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Angels.

With doubles in each of his last four games, Bichette is beginning to warm up at the plate, but his contributions in the counting-stats categories are still lacking as a whole this season. Despite starting in all 46 of the Blue Jays' games to date, Bichette has supplied modest totals of 23 RBI, 21 runs, six home runs and four stolen bases. He'll remain in the lineup for Sunday's series finale, playing shortstop and batting third.

Adames (ankle) will begin a rehab assignment at Low-A Carolina on Sunday.

Adames hasn't played since May 15 due to a left ankle sprain, but he looks to be on the cusp of a return from the 10-day injured list now that he's been cleared to suit up for the Brewers' Low-A affiliate. The team hasn't indicated whether Adames will require additional rehab games to begin the upcoming week, but the Brewers will presumably see how his ankle feels coming out of Sunday's action before determining his next steps. Assuming Adames is cleared to come off the IL within the next few days, he would take back everyday duties at shortstop, with Luis Urias sliding back over to third base and Jace Peterson moving into a bench role as a result.

Wendle is out of the lineup for Sunday's game in Atlanta, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Since he recently returned from a stint on the 10-day injured list due to a hamstring injury along with the fact that the Marlins are opposing a lefty (Max Fried) in the series finale, the lefty-hitting Wendle will cede third base to Willians Astudillo. Wendle picked up starts Friday and Saturday following his return from the IL, going hitless with an RBI across seven plate appearances between those contests.

Berti went 0-for-3 with two walks, a run scored and a stolen base in Saturday's 4-1 win over Atlanta.

The veteran utility player started his second straight game at second base while Jazz Chisholm (hamstring) is on the mend, and Berti stole a base in each contest. He's up to four stolen bases in 59 plate appearances on the year, adding two homers, four RBI and 12 runs with a .277 batting average.
