Anderson (calf) is back in the lineup Saturday against the Twins, Colleen Kane of the Chicago Tribune reports.

A bruised calf forced Anderson from Thursday's game but he will return Saturday after missing just one start. Anderson has hit at a higher clip and for more power than many were expecting when he was promoted earlier this season, but his impact on the basepaths has been limited. He's managed 18 steals between Triple-A and the majors (seven with the White Sox) after swiping 49 bags in 2015.

O'Malley is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Angels.

O'Malley started the last three games for the Mariners, but he will be displaced Friday by newcomer Ben Gamel, who will get the start in right field.

Diaz (thumb) took batting practice Friday, Jim Hayes of Fox Sports Midwest reports.

Manager Mike Matheny said that Diaz may head to Double-A Springfield for a rehab assignment in the near future, making a mid-September return possible. Until Diaz is back, look for Jedd Gyorko and Greg Garcia to split time at shortstop.

Anderson (calf) is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Twins, according to Colleen Kane of the Chicago Tribune.

Anderson left Thursday's game with a bruised calf, and he will get at least one day to rest and recover from his setback. Carlos Sanchez will get the start at shortstop in Anderson's place.

Swanson is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Phillies.

The Braves have said that they'll give Swanson regular rest days to ease him into the majors. After starting three games in a row, he'll give way to Gordon Beckham at shortstop. Over said outings, Swanson went 2-for-11 with three RBI.

Anderson left Thursday's game with a bruised right calf.

The White Sox are listing Anderson as day-to-day, so it's seemingly a short-term concern, but this could affect his availability for the next several games. Anderson went 1-for-2 before being replaced at shortstop by Tyler Saladino with Carlos Sanchez taking over at second base.

Turner is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies, Dan Kolko of MASN reports.

Turner will get a rare day off, as the Nationals go with Michael Taylor in center field. Taylor will serve as the leadoff man against Phillies' left-hander Adam Morgan.

Seager (hand) is back in the lineup for Game 1 of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Rockies, the Los Angeles Times' Andy McCullough reports.

He missed just one game with the hand injury and will return to the two hole for Wednesday's matinee. It would not be surprising for him to be held out of the nightcap in an effort to ease him back, but owners will at least get to enjoy one game from Seager in Coors Field on Wednesday.

Wendle has been called up to the A's and will start at second base Wednesday against the Astros, reports Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle.

Wendle had spent the entire 2016 season at Triple-A Nashville where he hit .279 with a .776 OPS in 125 games. Wendle has shown a bit of pop and speed with 12 homers and 14 steals. With the A's not in contention this year, they are actively giving playing time to their young players and Wendle has a chance to get at least semi-regular at-bats in September.

Swanson went 2-for-4 with a double and three RBI Tuesday against the Padres.

The three-RBI night was the first of the highly-touted shortstop's young career, as he had only managed one RBI previously in his 10-game MLB career. The double was just his second extra-base hit, although he did raise his batting average to .300.
