Gordon went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in a 7-1 loss to the Astros on Wednesday.

Gordon was the only Mariners player with a multi-hit effort on a night when they were stymied by Gerrit Cole and a pair of relievers. The dynamic leadoff man has been as productive as advertised, having hit safely in all but one game this season and going a perfect 8-for-8 in the stolen-base department.

Bogaerts (ankle) ran and worked out on the field Wednesday, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

Bogaerts continues to work his way from a cracked bone in his left ankle. The shortstop was able to take batting practice for the second straight day, and manager Alex Cora said he's making "great" progress, according to Logan Mullen of NESN.com. That said, it's still unclear when he'll be ready to return at this point. Bogaerts is currently 10 days into his initial 10-14 day estimated return timetable.

Wendle is not in the lineup against the Rangers on Wednesday.

Wendle will sit for the third straight game as Cole Hamels takes the mound for Texas. Daniel Robertson will get another start at the keystone and bat second. Over 15 appearances this season, Wendle is hitting .244/.360/.439 with one home run, five RBI and one stolen base.

Lindor went 1-for-5 in Tuesday's win over the Twins, smashing a two-run homer.

Lindor broke the scoreless tie in the fifth, taking Twins starter Jake Odorizzi deep to put Cleveland on top 2-0. The offense kept hitting home runs, and Cleveland's pitching staff kept the Twins at bay. The home run was Lindor's second on the season, and he's now sporting a modest four-game hitting streak. The young shortstop only recently got his batting average above .200, and it's now sitting at .238.

Bogaerts (ankle) is scheduled to hit on the field Tuesday, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

Bogaerts has been sidelined for the last nine days with a cracked bone in his left ankle. Initial return estimates suggested that he'd be able to return to the lineup in 10-to-14 days, and the fact that he began hitting Tuesday suggests that he's trending in the right direction. It's currently unclear if he'll be ready to come off the DL by the end of the week.

Navarro (hamstring) was activated from the 7-day disabled list Tuesday, Tacoma Rainiers broadcaster Mike Curto reports.

Navarro opened his Triple-A season on the disabled list due to a hamstring injury but is now set to return to action. The infielder slashed .278/.342/.380 with Triple-A Salt Lake of the Angels' organization last season.

Wendle is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Rangers.

As per usual, Wendle will take a seat on the bench with a southpaw starter (Matt Moore) toeing the rubber for the opposition. In his place, Daniel Robertson will hit leadoff and start at second base.

Sardinas had his contract selected from Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday. He is starting at second base and hitting eighth against the Tigers.

With Jonathan Schoop (oblique) on the disabled list, Sardinas will join the big club to offer some additional infield depth. The Orioles will waste no time inserting the soon-to-be 25-year-old into the lineup, and he could continue to see some playing time at the keystone while Schoop is out if he's able to hold his own. His .229/.278/.293 career triple-slash across parts of four major-league seasons suggests he may be more likely to settle into a reserve role during his time with the Orioles.

Wendle will take a seat Monday as the Rays host the Rangers, Steve Carney of Sports Radio 620 WDAE reports.

Wendle had started the Rays' previous six games at second base but will step aside for Daniel Robertson on Monday. Wendle is off to a solid start at the plate, hitting .263/.270/.474, with one home run and one steal.

Gordon went 3-for-5 with an RBI infield single and two stolen bases in a 10-8 win over the Athletics on Saturday.

Gordon has opened his debut Mariners campaign with a 12-game hit streak, with Saturday's effort qualifying as his fourth multi-hit effort. The 29-year-old speedster's ability to consistently set the table has been a boon for the run-producing prospects of the likes of Jean Segura and Kyle Seager hitting behind him, as the two have now combined for 18 RBI.
