Anderson went 4-for-5 with a solo home run, a triple and two additional runs scored in Wednesday's 7-5 win in Detroit.

The 27-year-old has produced immediately since coming off the injured list Tuesday, going 5-for-9 with a homer, a triple, five runs and a walk in two games. The injury didn't slow down Anderson's hot start to the season, and he now has a .385/.415/.692 slash line in 41 plate appearances.

Owings exited Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks with left hamstring tightness, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Owings was replaced in the field during the second inning as a precautionary measure. It's unclear how the injury occurred, but he'll be able to recover during the Rockies' off day Thursday. Whether he'll miss any time during the team's weekend series against Texas remains to be seen.

Arcia isn't in the lineup Wednesday against the Twins.

Arcia recorded hits in each of the past two games, but he'll take a seat for the series finale against Minnesota. Eric Sogard will shift to shortstop as Brock Holt steps in at third base.

Anderson (groin) went 1-for-4 with a walk and two runs scored Tuesday in the White Sox's 8-4 win over the Tigers.

Back in action after spending the minimum amount of time on the injured list with a groin strain, Anderson slotted back into his familiar spot at shortstop and at the top of the Chicago lineup. He was able to come around to score both times he reached base and didn't seem to be bothered by the groin issue, so fantasy managers can probably feel comfortable activating him at this point. Anderson will start again Wednesday in a day game after a night game.

Seager (back) swung the bat, ran the bases, and fielded groundballs at shortstop Tuesday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Seager has been inching toward a return from a lower-back injury suffered in last Friday's contest against the Giants, so Tuesday's workout represents a tangible step in his aim to return to action. The Dodgers have yet to determine whether Seager will require a stint on the injured list. It stands to reason that the decision will be at least partly based on how the shortstop's back reacts to Tuesday's on-field work.

Turner went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Mets.

He smacked the second pitch he saw from Rick Porcello -- an 89 mph fastball at the top of the strike zone -- the other way down the right-field line for a 356-foot homer. Turner has gone yard on consecutive nights, giving him three home runs on the year, but his .255/.288/.455 slash line -- as well as his 0-for-3 performance on steal attempts -- is still well below expectations.

Fletcher went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in a victory over Oakland on Tuesday.

Fletcher plated the Angels' final run of the game by poking a ball over the left-field wall in the sixth inning. The 26-year-old has three homers on the season -- half as many as he hit in 653 plate appearances in 2019.

Story went 2-for-5 with an RBI single, a run scored and a stolen base in Tuesday's 8-7 win over the Diamondbacks.

Story knocked in Garrett Hampson with a single in the eighth inning, then scored on a Charlie Blackmon double to ignite a six-run rally. Story also had a single and his fourth stolen base of the year in the fifth inning. The shortstop has hit safely in four straight games (6-for-17) with a homer, two steals, four RBI and six runs scored in that span.

Bichette went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run and a walk during Tuesday's extra-inning victory over the Marlins.

Toronto's offense was anemic through the first five innings Tuesday, but Bichette's 365-foot shot to left field with two runners on base put the Blue Jays on the board. The 22-year-old has a .286/.314/.551 slash line with three homers, four doubles, nine RBI and two stolen bases through 11 games.

Manager Dave Roberts said Seager (back) is in a "slow progression" in his recovery, but the team won't yet place him on the injured list, Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times reports.

The 26-year-old was scratched from Friday's contest with lower-back discomfort and hasn't seen the field since, though he was able to run, take swings and play catch Monday. The team still isn't overly concerned by the injury given the avoidance of the injured list to this point, but it sounds as though it could be at least a couple more days until Seager returns to game action.
