Gordon visited a specialist for a second opinion on his wrist Saturday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Gordon was initially sent to the injured list with a right wrist contusion, but the Mariners are seemingly afraid that the issue is worse than that. The results of the second opinion are not yet known.

Crawford went 2-for-3 with a double and two walks in a loss to the Athletics on Friday.

Crawford continues to acquit himself well at the big-league level, as he's now hit safely in seven of the last eight contests. The 24-year-old is hitting a solid .271 with five extra-base hits (four doubles, one home run), three RBI, four walks and six runs, and he's set to keep a hold of the everyday shortstop job for the foreseeable future.

Anderson was scratched from Saturday's lineup against the Twins with right wrist soreness, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

A pitch hit his wrist on a swing in Friday's game. The fact that he was originally in the lineup suggests that the injury may not be that serious, but it will nonetheless force him to the bench for at least one game. Anderson was hitting .361/.395/.389 over his last 10 games. Jose Rondon will start at shortstop in his place.

Anderson was a late scratch from Saturday's lineup against the Twins, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

It is unclear why Anderson was removed from the lineup. Jose Rondon will get the start at shortstop in his stead.

Anderson went 3-for-3 with a double and a run scored in Friday's 11-4 loss to the Twins.

Every time it seems like the shortstop might be slowing down at the plate, he quickly heats up again. Anderson's gone 12-for-28 (.429) over the last eight games since getting a breather May 16, boosting his slash line on the season back up to .337/.369/.506 with eight homers, 13 steals, 25 RBI and 28 runs in 46 contests, and the only thing holding back his fantasy value even slightly is manager Rick Renteria's insistence on hitting Anderson towards the bottom of the order against right-handed pitching.

Bogaerts went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Astros.

The shortstop is putting together an impressive month of May, slashing .305/.380/.549 through 19 games with five homers and 17 RBI. Bogaerts is demonstrating that last year's breakout was no fluke, but the 26-year-old may not have found his ceiling yet.

Urena was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo on Friday.

Urena heads back to Buffalo after a week in the majors, with Cavan Biggio and Lourdes Gurriel getting called up Friday. Urena struck out five times in eight at-bats during the brief major-league stint, in which he received a pair of starts at second base.

Anderson went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a walk in Wednesday's 4-0 win over the Astros.

The speedy shortstop made his at-bats count in a dominant win against the Astros, reaching base three times including an RBI single. Anderson has been turning up the heat again, and overall, he's slashing .326/.359/.491 to go with 25 RBI, 13 stolen bases and eight home runs.

Adames went 3-for-4 with a home run, double and two runs scored in Thursday's 7-2 victory over the Indians.

Adames was a triple shy of the cycle after registering a solo home run, a double and a single off starter Adam Plutko. Despite some struggles at the plate this year, the 23-year-old now has four home runs, three of which came in the last six games. His line improves to .245/.315./.395 with eight doubles, 24 runs scored and 11 RBI.

Urena is expected to be sent back to Triple-A Buffalo on Friday, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Urena's latest trip to the big leagues will last just one week. He went 0-for-8 with five strikeouts over that stretch. He'll join Billy McKinney in heading to Buffalo, with Cavan Biggio and Lourdes Gurriel set to be recalled.
