MLB Player News

Diaz is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Red Sox, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Diaz sits after making nine straight starts, a stretch in which he hit .310 with a .905 OPS. Yangervis Solarte will start at third base.

Gordon is not in the starting lineup versus San Diego on Wednesday, TJ Cotterill of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

Gordon will head to the bench with left-hander Joey Lucchesi on the hill for the Padres. Robinson Cano will man second base while Guillermo Heredia draws a nod in the outfield.

Wendle went 2-for-4 with a double in a loss to the Indians on Tuesday.

Wendle mustered the only extra-base hit for the Rays on a night when their offense was stymied by Shane Bieber and a pair of relievers. The versatile 28-year-old is putting together a solid follow-up effort after an outstanding August (.330 average, 18 RBI), with Tuesday's production serving as his fourth multi-hit tally in nine September contests.

Adames is not in the lineup versus the Indians on Wednesday, Marc Topkin of The Tampa Bay Times reports.

Adames will retreat to the bench following seven straight starts as Andrew Velazquez gets the nod at shortstop. On the year, Adames is slashing .263/.328/.390 with eight home runs, 25 RBI and six stolen bases.

Mondesi went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's win over the White Sox.

Mondesi bunted in a run and stole his 21st bag of the year in Tuesday's contest, bringing his slash line to .270/.299/.449 in the process. The 23-year-old is hitting .296 with three home runs, eight RBI and five stolen bases over his last 15 games, and he's succeeded in 16 of his last 18 stolen-base attempts dating back to July 26.

Bogaerts went 4-for-4 with a walk and an RBI on Sunday against the Astros.

Bogaerts reached base each time he came to the plate, continuing an exceptionally productive stretch at the plate. He had homered in consecutive games prior to Sunday and recorded eight hits across 12 at-bats in the Red Sox weekend series against the Astros. He's already set career best marks in home runs and RBI, but the 25-year-old is also on track to post the best on-base percentage and slugging percentage of his career.

Adames went 2-for-4 while scoring once and driving in a run in Sunday's win over the Orioles.

Adames has a multi-hit game in four of his past six contests and has raised his batting average from .241 to .266 since Aug. 20.

Lindor went 2-for-5 with his 34th home run of the season in a loss to Toronto on Sunday.

The homer was Lindor's fourth over his last seven games after going homerless over his previous 22 contests. He has just seven extra-base hits over his last 29 contests, most of which have come over this past week against Kansas City and Toronto pitching.

Gordon is not in the lineup Sunday against the Yankees, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.

Gordon will retreat to the bench to avoid a lefty-on-lefty matchup with New York starter CC Sabathia. Robinson Cano will slide over to second base to replace him, allowing Ryon Healy to make a start at first base.

Wendle is not in the lineup Sunday against the Orioles, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

The 28-year-old had started the team's previous 14 games, so it seems as if the Rays simply wanted to get their second baseman a day off. The fact that the Orioles are trotting out a left-handed starting pitcher could've factored into the decision as well, though Wendle actually holds a passable .717 OPS in 61 at-bats against southpaws this season. Wendle's retreat to the bench will allow Brandon Lowe to enter the starting lineup.
