Anderson will start at shortstop and hit ninth in his MLB debut Friday night, Bruce Levine of WSCR-AM reports.

Anderson has a bright future and is set to be Chicago's regular shortstop moving forward, but the White Sox will let him get his feet wet with the bat, and use him out of the final spot in the batting order to begin with. Regardless of where he hits though, Anderson figures to be a threat whenever he gets on base.

Correa (ankle) is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Rays, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Correa was listed as day-to-day after exiting Thursday's game with his ankle injury, and it turns out the setback will prevent him from taking the field for at least one day. Marwin Gonzalez will get the start at shortstop in Correa's place.

Baez is in the lineup at third base against the Braves on Friday.

With Kris Bryant playing in left field since Jorge Soler landed on the DL with a hamstring strain, Baez will man the hot corner while batting sixth in the lineup. Baez has spent a fair amount of time at third base this season and is batting .375 with two home runs and nine RBI in 24 at-bats during the month of June.

The White Sox recalled Anderson from Triple-A Charlotte on Friday.

Jimmy Rollins struggled to get much going with the bat while serving as the White Sox's primary shortstop, so the team decided to designate him for assignment and call up Anderson -- their top prospect -- on Friday. Given his pedigree, Anderson figures to serve as the White Sox's primary shortstop moving forward, with Tyler Saladino still working in a backup role. Anderson does not bring a lot to the plate in the power department, but he does own a .301 career minor league batting average and stole 49 bags a year ago, so there are several things to like about his game from a fantasy perspective.

Anderson is set to be called up by the White Sox, Jon Heyman of FanRag Sports reports.

The team has not confirmed Anderson's promotion, but the White Sox have made a number of roster moves of late, and it appears the latest is the addition of their top prospect to the major league roster. If Anderson is indeed called up, he would be an immediate threat to Jimmy Rollins' and Tyler Saladino's playing time at shortstop.

Correa was diagnosed with a left ankle sprain Thursday and he is listed as day-to-day, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

The star shortstop exited Thursday's game against the Rangers after awkwardly stepping on the side of first base in the fifth inning. Fortunately, he was able to walk off the field under his own power and according to McTaggart's follow-up, Correa may have avoided an injury that would cause him to miss significant time. His status heading into Friday's series opener in Tampa Bay is in some question at this point, so owners will want to confirm his status in the lineup prior to first pitch. If Correa is held out of Friday's contest, Marwin Gonzalez would likely take over at shortstop.

Correa left Thursday's game against the Rangers in the fifth inning with a left ankle injury, Stefan Stevenson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Correa suffered the injury when he stepped on the side of first base. He was taken out of the game after being evaluated by team trainers, but was able to walk off the field under his own power. More information surrounding the injury and Correa's status should be released soon.

D'Arnaud went 3-for-5 with a double, an RBI and a run in a 4-2 road win against the Padres on Wednesday.

If you happened to make a preseason bet on which of the d'Arnaud brothers -- Chase and Travis -- would hold more fantasy value through the first two months of 2016, whoever took the underdog has won running away. Indeed, while Travis struggled to a .196 average before going on the DL, Chase has stunningly hit .345 over his first 84 MLB at-bats of the season. That's quite the improvement after he was on the verge of washing out of the majors while with the Phillies last year. That said, d'Arnaud has a distinctly unimpressive track record with the bat and isn't a good bet to keep this up. His calling card is his speed -- the 29-year-old infielder is only a career .261/.331/.384 hitter in the minors, but has exceeded 20 steals six times.

Story is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Dodgers, Eric Stephen of True Blue LA reports.

Story has started each of the last 13 games for the Rockies and will get a well-earned day off Wednesday. In his place, Christhian Adames will slot into the shortstop position and bat eighth. Story will likely be back in the lineup Thursday against the Pirates.

Seager is is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Rockies.

Seager is out of the starting lineup for the first time since May 9. In his place, the Dodgers will start Enrique Hernandez at shortstop, batting leadoff. Seager has been hitting well lately, with seven hits, five home runs and seven RBI in the past five games. He will most likely be back in the starting lineup Friday against the Giants.
