Owings signed a minor-league contract with the Red Sox on Monday, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.

Owings was released by the Royals earlier in the month after posting an anemic .133/.193/.222 slash line in 41 games. The utility man will get up to speed at the team's spring training facilities in Fort Myers before reporting to Triple-A Pawtucket.

Gordon (wrist) went 2-for-4 with an RBI triple in a win over the Athletics on Sunday.

Gordon was back in the lineup after a one-game absence due to wrist soreness and delivered with a clutch three-bagger in the eighth to extend the Mariners' lead to 6-3. The veteran speedster is enjoying a strong month at the plate after a late start, going 6-for-20 with three doubles, Sunday's triple, two RBI and a walk.

Fletcher went 1-for-3 with two RBI in Sunday's loss to the Rays.

Fletcher plated a run in the third inning on a sacrifice fly to left field, and he knocked in another in the fifth on an infield single. The 25-year-old is batting .308 with five home runs and 27 RBI over 67 games in 2019.

Gordon (wrist) will start at second base and bat seventh Sunday against the Athletics, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

The Mariners held Gordon out of action in Saturday's 11-2 loss while he managed a bruised right wrist, but the injury was never viewed as a major problem. With the health concern behind him, Gordon will reclaim his everyday role in the infield, but he'll have to settle for a spot in the bottom half of the order with the Mariners receiving quality production atop the lineup lately from Mallex Smith.

Adrianza will start at first base and bat ninth Sunday against the Royals, Phil Miller of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Manager Rocco Baldelli will reward Adrianza will a fourth consecutive start after the utility man rapped out five hits and drew a walk in the previous three contests. Adrianza offers some nice versatility and has made impressive strides at the plate this season -- his .794 OPS is 87 points better than his previous career high -- but he'll have trouble finding consistent playing time in a loaded Minnesota lineup once his recent surge ends.

Adames is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

Utility man Joey Wendle will check into the starting nine in Adames' stead, batting seventh while manning shortstop in the series finale. Given that he's put together a middling .242/.308/.368 slash line on the season, Adames' hold on an everyday role could begin to slip now that Wendle -- one of the majors' top-producing rookies in 2018 -- is back to full health after an extended absence.

Lindor went 1-for-5 with two stolen bases in a 4-2 victory over the Tigers on Saturday.

The pair of steals moves the 25-year-old into the Top 12 in the category in the American League. Considering Lindor missed most of April, that's not bad. He is 9-for-10 in stolen-base attempts, and he's also batting .300 with 11 home runs, 25 RBI and 32 runs in 200 at-bats this season.

Gordon is out of the lineup for Saturday's game at Oakland due to a bruised right wrist, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Gordon apparently suffered the injury over the last couple days when making headfirst slides. The injury doesn't appear to be overly severe, but the 31-year-old will take at least one day off to recover. Dylan Moore is starting at second base in his absence Saturday.

Gordon is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against Oakland, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.

Gordon has gone 4-for-16 with one steal since returning from a wrist injury. Dylan Moore will take over at second base in his absence.

Fletcher went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer off Charlie Morton in a 5-3 win over the Rays on Saturday.

Serving as the third baseman, Fletcher lined a pitch into the second row in left field to give the Angels a 3-0 lead in the second inning. It was the 25-year-old's first homer since May 23, and he is still just 7-for-30 over his last eight games. Fletcher nevertheless holds a solid .307/.360/.442 slash line for the year.
