Gordon (toe) was activated from the 10-day disabled list prior to Thursday's game against the Rangers. He is starting at second base and hitting leadoff, according to Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle.

As expected, Gordon is back in action after a minimum stay on the disabled list with a toe fracture. He'll immediately reclaim his role as the team's everyday leadoff man and primary second baseman, with Gordon Beckham, who was filling in for Gordon at the keystone, heading to the minors in a corresponding roster move. The 30-year-old speedster, who was hitting an impressive .304/.330/.386 with 16 stolen bases across 45 games prior to landing on the shelf, will face lefty Mike Minor in his first game back.

Adrianza went 2-for-4 with a double, a home run and two RBI in Wednesday's 11-8 loss to the Royals.

The 28-year-old connected on his first homer of the year as part of a six-inning rally that nearly dug the Twins out of a nine-run hole, but their comeback attempt fell short. Adrianza is hitting .333 (8-for-24) over his last eight games with four doubles in addition to the home run, but his .629 career OPS makes it tough to trust that he'll be able to keep that level of production up for much longer.

Wendle will take a seat for Wednesday's matchup against Oakland, Juan Toribio of The Athletic Tampa Bay reports.

Wendle will get his usual day off Wednesday against a left-handed starter. Christian Arroyo will bat sixth and take over at second base with Wendle on the bench.

Lindor will take a seat for Wednesday's series finale against the White Sox, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Lindor will get the day off after batting a modest .279 with three RBI and five walks over his last 10 games. Erik Gonzalez is set to take over at shortstop and will bat ninth.

Wendle went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's win over the Athletics.

Sandwiched between C.J. Cron and Wilson Ramos, Wendle was the middle leg of a back-to-back-to-back home run sequence in the third inning. The 28-year-old is riding a modest six-game hitting streak and is slashing .283/.333/.407 through 145 at-bats in his first extended stay in the majors.

Correa will take a seat for Tuesday's matchup against the Yankees, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Alex Bregman will start at shortstop and bat second in Correa's stead. The 23-year-old is 7-for-31 with two extra-base hits and five RBI over the course of his last seven games, and figures to be back in the lineup for Wednesday's series finale.

Gordon (toe) is expected to return from the 10-day disabled list Thursday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Gordon landed on the disabled list last week with a minor fracture in his right big toe, but he's feeling much better and it sounds like his stay on the shelf will be limited to the 10-day minimum. Divish noted that Gordon could face Hisashi Iwakuma (shoulder) in a live batting practice session Tuesday, but the Mariners may not want to risk the speedster fouling another ball off his toe. Once active, Gordon should immediately slot back in as the team's everyday leadoff man and primary second baseman.

Diaz (ankle) will begin a minor-league rehab assignment with Double-A New Hampshire on Monday, Gregor Chisholm of MLB.com reports.

Diaz, who has been sidelined for most of May with an ankle injury, was deemed ready for a rehab stint after getting through his running progression with no issues. Given the length of his absence, the shortstop will likely need to appear in multiple minor-league rehab games before the Blue Jays feel comfortable bringing him back, leaving his possible return date up in the air. Gio Urshela will continue to fill in at shortstop until Diaz is back to full health. Troy Tulowitzki (heel) is set to begin a running program Monday and could return shortly after Diaz, which will create a bit of a logjam in the middle of the Blue Jays' infield.

Anderson jammed his thumb a few days ago but has played through the injury, Phil Thompson of the Chicago Tribune reports.

The injury hasn't been a factor at the plate, where Anderson has five hits, including three home runs, over the last two games. In the field, however, he was tagged with three errors (two on the same play) Saturday. "It's feeling better," said Anderson, whose right hand was wrapped. "It's getting better every day so I can't complain."

Anderson went 2-for-4 with two home runs, four RBI and three runs scored Saturday against the Tigers.

Anderson got a hold of his ninth and 10th home runs of the season, one off left-hander Francisco Liriano and the other off righty Louis Coleman. He now has three home runs over his past two games. While his batting average and on-base percentage leave something to be desired, Anderson has turned in strong power and speed production as he now has 10 home runs and 11 stolen bases on the season.
