Rojas isn't in the Dodgers' lineup Tuesday against Arizona, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

After going 2-for-5 with an RBI and scoring twice Monday against San Diego, Rojas will take a seat for Tuesday's series opener with the D-backs. Amed Rosario will fill in at shortstop and bat ninth.

Story (elbow) was activated from the 60-day injured list ahead of Tuesday night's game against the Royals, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

Story is starting at shortstop and batting third in his season debut Tuesday versus the Royals and right-hander Brady Singer. Recovered from January internal brace surgery on his right elbow, the 30-year-old middle infielder posted an encouraging .300/.417/.700 batting line with four home runs and four doubles in 13 minor-league rehab games between Double-A Portland and Triple-A Worcester. Yu Chang has been designated for assignment in a corresponding roster move.

The Red Sox designated Chang for assignment Tuesday, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

Chang had been getting regular playing time at shortstop over the last handful of weeks, but he'll lose his place on both the 26- and 40-man rosters as Trevor Story (elbow) prepares to make his season debut Tuesday night against the Royals. Chang, 27, was sporting a .162/.200/.352 batting line through 112 plate appearances this season with Boston.

Anderson (forearm) is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Yankees.

Anderson took a pitch to the left forearm in Monday's series opener against New York, but X-rays came back negative and he is considered day-to-day with a contusion. Elvis Andrus will cover shortstop and bat leadoff for the White Sox on Tuesday night.

Baez (personal) was added to the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Twins.

Baez had been out of the Tigers' lineup since Saturday following the death of his grandfather. He's expected to officially go on the bereavement list at some point, but the 30-year-old will start at shortstop and bat sixth Tuesday versus the Twins and right-hander Sonny Gray.

The Mets are planning to begin a rotation with Mauricio at Triple-A Syracuse in which he will play second base, shortstop and third base, probably twice a week at each position, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

Mauricio has made 41 starts at second, 26 in left field and 25 at shortstop so far this season, but he has yet to appear at third base. He will soon get reps at the hot corner as the Mets move him away from outfield duties and get him familiar at a position of need at the major-league level. Overall, the 22-year-old is batting .289/.338/.479 with 16 homers and 19 steals in 97 games with Syracuse this season.

Baez (personal) is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Twins.

It's the third straight game that Baez has been out of the lineup following a death in the family, although he did pinch hit in Sunday's contest. The Tigers have not made a roster move involving Baez and at this point it's possible they won't. Zack Short is playing shortstop Tuesday.

Blue Jays general manager Ross Atkins said in an interview on MLB Network on Tuesday that Bichette (knee) was "moving around with very few symptoms, almost not at all" during a workout Monday, Ben Wagner of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Bichette resumed baseball activities a few days ago and looks to be ramping things back up with encouraging results as he works his way back from patellar tendinitis in his right knee. Toronto has not provided a timetable for the star shortstop's return, but if things continue to trend in the right direction, there seems to be a chance Bichette can be activated when first eligible Friday or shortly thereafter.

Duran started at third base and went 0-for-3 in Monday's 5-3 win over Oakland.

Duran filled in at third base in the first game following Josh Jung's thumb injury. It was announced Monday that Jung will miss at least six weeks, and Duran is expected to be part of the fill-in solution along with Josh Smith. Duran's .514 OPS in 19 games since the All-Star break, however, stands in stark contrast to a productive first half when he posted an .870 OPS with 12 home runs and 35 RBI in 70 games.

Correa went 2-for-3 with a three-run homer, a double, four RBI and two runs scored in Monday's 9-3 win over the Tigers.

Correa got the best of Joey Wentz on Monday, with a run-scoring double in the first inning and an opposite-field three-run shot in the second. Correa snapped a 16-game homer drought, during which he hit just .154 (10-for-65) with six RBI and three runs scored. On the season, the 28-year-old shortstop is now slashing .224/.297/.458 with 13 homers, 52 RBI and 41 runs scored through 102 games.
