Anthony is slashing .354/.485/.494 with two home runs, one steal, a 20.8 percent walk rate and a 19.8 percent strikeout rate in 22 games this month for Triple-A Worcester.

He hit for a bit more power in April (five homers in 23 games), but Anthony's approach and control of the zone has gone from good to great as the season has progressed. It's unclear when Boston will start his clock, but Anthony has been ready for a while.

De Los Santos notched a hold against the Angels on Monday, striking out three batters while allowing one hit over 1.1 scoreless innings.

De Los Santos entered in the seventh frame and retired all three batters he faced in that inning, striking out Jorge Soler and Logan O'Hoppe. The right-hander continued into the eighth and gave up a leadoff single but then struck out Chris Taylor before exiting. De Los Santos has pitched well in a limited sample size while with the big club this season, allowing just two runs over 11 innings covering eight appearances. However, he's posted an unimpressive 9:5 K:BB and has a 1.45 WHIP, so he seems to have been a bit lucky so far in avoiding giving up runs.

Jansen went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Monday against the Twins.

Jansen had a slow start to the season at the plate and had only one home run across his first 28 games. However, in his last nine contests beginning May 13, he has slugged three homers while hitting .310 to go along with six RBI and five runs scored.

Rojas went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base Monday against the Mets.

Rojas has maintained a near everyday role for the White Sox at a combination of second and third base since being activated from the injured list May 4. He managed his second stolen base of the season Monday, though he still has only one hit across his last 18 at-bats -- spanning eight games. Rojas has struggled to find a rhythm at the plate overall by hitting just .140 with no extra-base hits across 57 plate appearances, and his strikeout rate has notably surged to 33.3 percent.

Robert went 1-for-4 with a stolen base Monday against the Mets.

Robert has reached base in four consecutive games and has swiped a bag in each contest. He now has 21 stolen bases on the season while being caught only five times. Robert is hitting just .218 in May, but he has managed 11 RBI and eight runs scored across 22 games.

Varsho went 3-for-5 with a double and a solo home run in Monday's win over the Rangers.

The center fielder took Jacob deGrom deep in the first inning, hooking a slider down the right-field line for his eighth homer in just 20 games. Varsho's power display since recovering from shoulder surgery and making a belated season debut in late April has been impressive, but it comes with a .218 batting average, .238 OBP and what would be a career-worst 31.0 percent strikeout rate.

Osuna went 2-for-3 in Monday's 2-1 loss to the Blue Jays.

Osuna logged his first hit in the majors with a fifth-inning single and followed up with his second hit in the seventh. He's started both games since being called up from Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday and figures to garner regular playing time with both Evan Carter (quadriceps) and Joc Pederson (hand) on the injured list.

Carter (quadriceps) faced live pitching Monday, MLB.com reports.

Carter advanced his activity from running and hitting to facing live pitching. The outfielder is expected to begin a rehab assignment this week.

Arias went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double and a run scored in Monday's 7-2 loss to the Dodgers.

Arias, who reached base safely in multiple plate appearances for the time in 11 games, has scuffled of late. He entered Monday with an .086 (3-for-35) average and one RBI over the last 10 games. Arias started the season at second base and moved to shortstop when Brayan Rocchio was sent down to the minors. None of the other middle infielders on the team are doing any better than Arias, so he should retain a near-everyday role.

Thomas started at designated hitter and went 0-for-3 with a walk in Monday's 7-2 loss to the Dodgers.

Thomas moved from center field to DH as part of the domino effect created by Carlos Santana's leg injury. Kyle Manzardo covered first base for the injured veteran and Thomas slipped into the fifth spot in the order. Thomas is now hitless (0-for-14) in four games since coming off the injured list and saw his season average drop to .119 (7-for-59).
