Wendle (wrist) has no official timeline but could return by the end of the Rays' current homestand, which runs through Sunday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Wendle remains on target to return near the end of the 6-to-8 week timetable that was given when he fractured his wrist back in late April. He's been on a rehab assignment since Thursday and could be back in Tampa after just a few more games.

Adames is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Athletics, Josh Tolentino of The Athletic reports.

He'll be rested in favor of Daniel Robertson, who will start at shortstop and bat ninth. Adames has gone 1-for-16 with nine strikeouts and two walks over his last four starts.

Correa (ribs) said Sunday that he has been limited to light exercises since landing on the 10-day injured list May 29 and hasn't begun any baseball activities, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

After Correa was diagnosed with a cracked rib, the Astros estimated that he would be sidelined 4-to-6 weeks with the injury. With that in mind, it's not too surprising that he hasn't made any noteworthy steps forward in his recovery since suffering the injury two weeks ago. If Correa remains at the same stage in his rehab at this point next week, however, there's a good likelihood that his recovery would trend closer to the long end of that timetable. In the case, the Astros may be inclined to proceed with extra caution and hold the star shortstop out through the All-Star break.

Gordon (wrist) went 1-for-5 in Triple-A Tacoma's loss to Nashville on Sunday. He was also caught stealing on his only attempt.

Gordon logged his third full rehab game since joining the Rainiers, and Sunday's was likely his final one. The veteran is slated to join the Mariners in Minnesota on Tuesday for the start of a three-game set against the Twins after being out since May 21.

Wendle (wrist) started at shortstop and went 3-for-4 with a double and a stolen base in Triple-A Durham's win over Gwinnett on Sunday.

The fact Wendle logged the start at shortstop had significance in and of itself, as manager Kevin Cash remarked over the weekend that the Rays want the option of deploying Wendle at the position when he's activated. The versatile infielder appears to be on the verge of returning, with his 5-for-8 tally over this first two rehab games seemingly indicating his wrist is close to or at full health.

Diaz felt some tightness in his left hamstring while running Sunday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

The Astros will continue to exercise caution with Diaz, so he'll likely take it easy for the next few days. "We're trying to make sure I'm going to be 100 percent when I come back," Diaz told McTaggart. "We tried running at 100, 95 percent and I felt a little tightness in my hamstring. I think that's part of the process. We know hamstrings can be tricky and we're going to keep doing work.'

Fletcher is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners due to a sore left shoulder, Maria Torres of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Though Fletcher will be on the bench for a second straight day due to the injury, manager Brad Ausmus suggested he wasn't worried about the 25-year-old requiring a trip to the injured list. Fletcher's absence will open up a starting spot in the infield for Wilfredo Tovar.

Gordon (wrist) went 1-for-5 in Triple-A Tacoma's loss to Nashville on Saturday.

Gordon played another full game for the Rainiers on Saturday and was able to lace a single for the second consecutive contest. The speedy infielder has now made it through a pair of rehab games without setbacks, and Greg Johns of MLB.com reports that Gordon is expected to rejoin the Mariners on Tuesday in Minnesota.

Crawford (ankle) impressed during agility and running drills Saturday and will take live batting practice at Tacoma on Sunday, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.

Crawford is prepping for the start of a rehab assignment at High-A Modesto at the beginning of the week, and Saturday's developments were certainly encouraging ahead of that step. Sunday's batting practice session, during which Crawford is slated to potentially face both Hunter Strickland (lat) and Felix Hernandez (lat), should serve as a strong foundation for the recovering shortstop's scheduled return to game action.

Fletcher is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against Mariners, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Fletcher had started the Angels' previous 32 games. He'll get a rest Saturday, with Wilfredo Tovar starting at shortstop.
