Triple-A Durham placed Basabe on its 7-day injured list Wednesday with a fractured right wrist, Triple-A Durham radio play-by-play broadcaster Patrick Kinas reports.

Basabe suffered the injury Tuesday, when he was hit by a pitch in his lone plate appearance during Durham's 7-4 loss to Worcester. The Rays haven't indicated whether Basabe's injury will require surgery, but given that he throws and bats from the right side, he'll likely be headed for a multi-week absence even if he doesn't require a procedure. Basabe, who appeared in 31 games for Tampa Bay last season and retains a spot on the Rays' 40-man roster, was hitting .224/.270/.276 over 63 plate appearances with Durham before being shut down with the injury.

Crawford is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds.

The Mariners are wrapping up their series against Cincinnati with a day game after a night game and a lefty (Andrew Abbott) is on the hill for the Reds, so Seattle skipper Scott Servais likely felt that it was an opportune time to give the lefty-hitting Crawford a day off. Crawford will cede shortstop to Dylan Moore while Julio Rodriguez replaces Crawford atop the batting order.

Crawford went 2-for-5 with a run in a win over the Reds on Tuesday.

Crawford's multi-hit effort was his first of the season -- a much-needed shot in the arm for his struggling bat. Crawford has now managed to reach safely in eight consecutive games, albeit while mustering just one extra-base hit in that sample. The veteran shortstop's slash line sits at a forgettable .171/.266/.257 across 79 plate appearances, but there aren't yet any discernible rumblings about a potential loss of playing time.

Allen will start at shortstop and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.

Though he's back in the lineup against Cardinals southpaw Steven Matz, Allen had been withheld from the starting nine in each of the past three games, when the opposition brought right-handed pitchers to the hill. Allen looks to have moved into the short side of a platoon at shortstop with Darell Hernaiz.

DeJong will start at shortstop and bat sixth in the opening game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Royals.

DeJong will stick in the lineup for the fourth time in five games and may have at least temporarily wrested the primary shortstop gig back from Braden Shewmake. The 30-year-old hasn't built up much job security, however, as he enters Wednesday's doubleheader with a .176/.176/.441 slash line and a 44.1 percent strikeout rate over his 34 plate appearances on the season.

Shewmake will start at third base and bat seventh in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Royals.

Shewmake will crack the lineup for the front end of the twin bill, but he seems to have moved into more of a utility infield role after he initially looked on track to unseat Paul DeJong as the team's primary shortstop. DeJong will cover shortstop for the fourth time in five games in Wednesday's opening contest.

Neto went 1-for-4 with an RBI and two stolen bases in Tuesday's 7-6 extra-innings loss to the Rays.

The Angels turned on the jets once Rene Pinto took over behind the plate for the Rays in the ninth inning, with Neto collecting both his steals in the late innings as part of a 5-for-6 performance on the basepaths by Los Angeles on the night. The shortstop has struggled out of the gate this season -- the 23-year-old hasn't had a multi-hit game since April 6, and through 16 contests he's slashing .179/.258/.232 with zero homers, three runs, six RBI and three steals in five attempts. Neto's 29.0 percent strikeout rate is also a significant step back from the 23.4 percent mark he posted as a rookie.

Henderson went 3-for-5 with a two-run homer and an additional RBI in Tuesday's 11-3 victory over Minnesota.

It's the third straight multi-hit game for Henderson -- he's gone 7-for-12 with two homers and five RBI in that span. The 22-year-old shortstop boosted his slash line to .275/.338/.565 with five homers, four stolen bases, 14 RBI and 12 runs scored through his first 17 games this season.

The Orioles designated Soto for assignment Tuesday.

Soto has now been designated for assignment four times since the beginning of February -- twice by both the Orioles and Angels. He'll go through the waiver process and could perhaps draw interest from the Halos again, or another organization may be willing to take a chance on the 23-year-old infielder.

Gonzalez (wrist) fielded grounders Tuesday, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

Gonzalez is working his way back from a left wrist sprain, so being able to take grounders with his injured hand would appear to be a good sign. He's eligible to return Sunday and the hope is that he could be back by then or shortly after.
