Lindor went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and two runs scored in Wednesday's win over the Cubs.

The solo shot was one of three on the day for Cleveland, and gave the Indians a lead in the sixth inning that they wouldn't relinquish. It hasn't been a good opening month for Lindor, but he's now reached base safely in 11 straight games while mashing all three of his homers in that span. The .222/.300/.378 slash line remains unsightly, but it's hard to believe the 24-year-old won't start turning it around sooner rather than later.

Wendle went 3-for-5 with two RBI, a run scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's win over the Orioles.

Wendle has been a pleasant surprise in the early going, and he's now racked up three straight multi-hit performances amidst an 8-for-13 stretch. He's also notched double-digit steals in each of his last three seasons in the minors, so he's capable of providing some speed along the basepaths as well.

Bichette went 2-for-5 with two triples, two runs and a strikeout Tuesday for Double-A New Hampshire against Binghamton.

This was his first career two-triple game, and while some sloppy outfield defense contributed to at least one of the three baggers, it still serves as a reminder that Bichette can run a little. Teammate Vladimir Guerrero Jr. drove in Bichette after both triples -- something that will be a common theme for the next seven years. While Bichette's .296 average is a little below his marks at previous minor-league stops, he still boasts a 139 wRC+ as the second-youngest hitter in the Eastern League.

Bogaerts (ankle) began a rehabilitation assignment Tuesday for Triple-A Pawtucket and is expected to be activated off the disabled list for Friday's home game against the Rays, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

Bogaerts kicked off his rehab by going 2-for-3 with a home run and played six innings at shortstop. Both hits were opposite-field jobs to right field. He'll play another game for the PawSox on Wednesday, weather permitting. Manager Alex Cora said Bogaerts could still be activated Friday even if Pawtucket is rained out Wednesday.

Anderson went 2-for-4 and was caught stealing while batting leadoff in Tuesday's 1-0 loss to the Mariners.

Anderson was moved up for the day with the left-handed Marco Gonzales on the bump for Seattle. With both hits coming in three at-bats against Gonzales, Anderson's average against lefties improved to .381 (8-for-21). The stolen base try was his ninth attempt of the season and first time caught, putting him well ahead of the pace he established last year in his first full season in the majors.

Anderson is batting first against the Mariners on Tuesday.

Yoan Moncada is Chicago's typical leadoff hitter, but with lefty Marco Gonzales toeing the rubber for Seattle, Anderson will take a turn atop the order. The speedy shortstop has mashed southpaws in his career, hitting .323 with a .470 slugging percentage over the past three seasons.

Adames hit for the cycle while going 4-for-5 in Triple-A Durham's 8-1 win over Buffalo on Monday. He compiled three RBI and scored twice.

The spectacular night came one day after Adames slugged his first career grand slam against Lehigh Valley, Rob Terranova of MiLB.com reports. Adames saw his average jump 45 points with his four-hit effort, and he's now hit safely in six straight games. Following a slow start to his campaign, Adames' line is up to .345/.441/.582 over his first 16 contests.

Gordon (foot) is back in the lineup after missing just one start, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Gordon didn't start Sunday while nursing a sore foot, but he was able to make a pinch-hit appearance. The issue was clearly a minor one as he's already back in the starting lineup. Gordon is hitting .321 with a league-leading nine steals in his first 20 games for Seattle.

Wendle went 2-for-4 with an RBI single and a run in a win over the Twins on Sunday.

The versatile infielder was a thorn in the side of Twins pitching during the three-game set, going 6-for-13 with a triple, Sunday's RBI and three runs. It's the extension of a stellar April for Wendle, one that's seen him hit .333 over 59 plate appearances while lacing six extra-base hits (three doubles, two triples, one home run).

Lindor went 2-for-5 with a run scored and one RBI in Sunday's victory over the Orioles.

Lindor's multi-hit effort was a welcomed performance as the 24-year-old has struggled to consistently perform at the plate since the season got underway. His batting average has yet to eclipse .241 and is sitting at just .220 after 19 games. While his slow start is disappointing for fantasy owners, he'll have plenty of opportunities to turn things around while seeing regular time at shortstop in Cleveland's high-powered lineup.
