Gordon remains on the bench Friday against Texas, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.

Gordon will sit for his third straight game. It's possible the second baseman is injured, though there have been no reports suggesting that's the case. Robinson Cano will remain the starter at second base.

Diaz is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Rays, Hazel Mae of Sportsnet reports.

Diaz sits for the first time in a week after his 0-for-3 showing Wednesday ended a five-game hitting streak. Richard Urena will start at shortstop.

Mondesi went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, two runs scored and two stolen bases Thursday against the Indians.

Mondesi illustrated his ability to both steal bases and hit for power Thursday night, smacking his 13th home run of the season in the third inning against Josh Tomlin. He also stole both of his bases in the 10th inning, bringing his season total to 30. The 23-year-old has excelled with regular playing time, hitting .284/.309/.504 across 273 plate appearances.

Gordon is not in the lineup Thursday against the Rangers, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.

Gordon will stick on the bench for a second straight game as Robinson Cano picks up another start at the keystone in his stead. No injury has been reported at this point, so it looks like manager Scott Servais is simply giving the speedster some time off to clear his head in the midst of a tough September (.206/.215/.381 with two homers through 19 games).

Adrianza is out of the lineup versus Detroit on Thursday.

Adrianza will take a seat for the second straight game after starting 12 of the previous 13. In his spot, Gregorio Petit will man the hot corner and bat ninth in the order.

Correa went 1-for-4 with an RBI and struck out three times in Wednesday's 3-1 loss to the Blue Jays.

Correa served as the designated hitter and delivered Houston's lone run on an infield dribbler up the third-base line. This was his first game after missing six games with a sore back. He told Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle his swings felt normal, and that he felt comfortable at the plate. We suspect the Astros will want to give Correa more at-bats over the final few games and see him play the field for nine innings.

Lindor went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and a strikeout in Wednesday's win over the White Sox.

Lindor led off the game with his 37th home run and later smacked another hit before being lifted early in the 10-2 rout. The 24-year-old set a new personal best with his 90th RBI, but he's otherwise struggled some of late with just a .242 average over 99 at-bats in September.

Mondesi went 2-for-5 with a triple, two stolen bases and two runs scored in Wednesday's win over the Reds.

Mondesi singled in the first inning and stole his way to third base before coming around to score on a Salvador Perez double. He added a triple in the fifth inning, scoring another run on a groundout from Alex Gordon. The 23-year-old has done nothing but produce at the plate in September, slashing .305/.330/.568 with six homers, 10 stolen bases, 17 runs and 13 RBI through 22 games.

Gordon is not in the lineup Wednesday against the A's.

Gordon has started eight of the last nine games for Seattle, slashing .250/.276/.607 with two homers, two triples and five RBI during that stretch. He'll hit the bench for Wednesday's series finale with Robinson Cano covering the keystone in his place.

Bogaerts is not in the lineup for Game 2 of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Orioles, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

Bogaerts will sit after going 2-for-4 with a double, a homer, four RBI and two runs scored during the team's 19-3 victory in Game 1. The shortstop is now sitting at 22 homers and 100 RBI on the season, both career-best marks. Tzu-Wei Lin is starting at shortstop in his stead.
