Gordon landed on the 10-day injured list with a strained left quad Tuesday.

Gordon left Monday's game after getting hit in the back by a pickoff throw. According to Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle, the 31-year-old is expected to miss a few weeks but has no official timetable for his return. Tim Lopes was recalled in a corresponding move, while Austin Nola is starting at second base Tuesday.

Crawford went 2-for-4 with an RBI in Monday's 5-4 win over the Cubs.

Crawford got the Giants' late rally going by driving in Pablo Sandoval in the eighth. The shortstop had been ice-cold for seemingly the entire first half of the season, but his bat has come alive in July (.315/.393/.593 with four homers and 16 RBI this month).

Arcia isn't in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Reds.

Arcia went 0-for-4 during Monday night's loss to Cincinnati in the series opener, so he'll head to the bench for a day off. Tyler Saladino, who has now clubbed a grand slam in back-to-back games, will draw the start at shortstop and hit eighth.

Rojas (shoulder) isn't in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the White Sox, Andre Fernandez of The Athletic reports.

Rojas was diagnosed with a right shoulder strain Saturday, and he hasn't taken the field since. He'll continue to be considered day-to-day until further notice. Yadiel Rivera draws the start at shortstop and will hit ninth in Rojas' absence.

Wendle remains on the bench Tuesday against the Red Sox.

Wendle sits again with another lefty (Chris Sale) starting for Boston. He could sit for a third straight game Wednesday with a third lefty (David Price) on the mound. Mike Brosseau again starts at second base.

Crawford went 2-for-4 with an RBI single and a double in a win over the Rangers on Monday.

The multi-hit effort was Crawford's first since June 28, a 16-game stretch during which he hit an abysmal .107 (6-for-56). The skid led to a 68-point tumble in Crawford's season average (.319 to .251), but with the Mariners devoid of any postseason aspirations, manager Scott Servais has stuck with his young shortstop in an apparent effort to let Crawford claw his way out of the extended funk. It remains to be seen if Monday's performance can serve as a launchpad to a resurgence at the plate.

Gordon exited Monday's win over the Rangers in the top of the third inning after being struck in the back by an Adrian Sampson pickoff attempt in the bottom half of the second, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

The veteran appeared to be in discomfort after getting back to his feet following his dive back to first base, but he was still able to finish out the frame. However, the pain may have worsened between innings, as it was Dylan Moore, and not Gordon, at second base to start the third. Gordon should be considered day-to-day ahead of Tuesday's contest versus the Rangers.

Diaz went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer and two runs scored in Monday's 11-1 win over the Athletics.

Suiting up for his first game since May 26, Diaz rocked Homer Bailey for a three-run shot in the third inning. knocking him out of the contest. The 28-year-old infielder owns a solid .854 OPS with 25 RBI over 113 plate appearances, but in a stacked Houston infield, he won't see enough playing time to warrant fantasy value in standard leagues barring an injury.

Anderson (ankle) said he should be back "in a week or two," James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

Anderson ran the bases Monday and said afterwards that it was the first time he really felt comfortable since landing on the injured list. He's still expected to head out on a rehab stint before rejoining the White Sox, but the shortstop is trending in the right direction.

Rojas (shoulder) remains out of the lineup Monday against the White Sox.

Rojas left Saturday's game against the Dodgers and did not start Sunday's contest, though he did appear off the bench. Yadiel Rivera remains the starter at shortstop in his absence. Rojas is expected to test his shoulder prior to Monday's clash and is hopeful to start a game within the next few days, per Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald.
