MLB Player News

Gordon (wrist) is out of Tuesday's lineup against Oakland, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.

Gordon is set to miss his fifth straight contest since getting drilled by a pitch on his right wrist, though he appears to be making progress towards a return, as he managed to participate in fielding work with the team Monday. He'll benefit from a scheduled off day Wednesday before Seattle's next matchup Thursday against Minnesota.

Herrera sits for the second straight game Tuesday against the Rays, Andre Fernandez of The Athletic reports.

Herrera is hitting just .203/.280/.243 on the season. Jon Berti starts in center field again in his absence.

Turner (finger) will begin a rehab assignment with High-A Potomac on Tuesday, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports

Turner has been out six weeks with a broken index finger. The length of his rehab assignment isn't currently known, but he appears to be closing in on a return to Washington.

Lindor went 2-for-2 with a home run, a stolen base, a walk and two RBI in Monday's 5-2 loss to the White Sox.

Lindor was one of the few bright spots for Cleveland as the team suffered its third loss in four games, continuing what has been a regular trend for one of baseball's least-productive offenses. Since returning from the injured list April 20, Lindor hasn't been quite as productive as he was in 2018, but his .296/.333/.494 slash line to go with a 4-for-5 success rate on stolen-base attempts has made him the clear top hitter in the lineup. He'll be back in action for the day game after a night game, slotting in as the leadoff man while occupying shortstop, per Mandy Bell of MLB.com.

Gordon (wrist) remains out of the lineup Monday against Oakland, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Gordon hasn't played since getting hit by a pitch Thursday, although Greg Johns of MLB.com reports the infielder took grounders with the rest of the team during batting practice Monday. Shed Long remains the starting second baseman in his absence.

Lindor went 2-for-4 and scored a run Sunday in the Indians' 5-3 win over the Athletics.

Lindor finished the weekend with back-to-back two-hit performances, propping his average up to .278 since he was activated from the 10-day injured list April 20. There was some concern that the right calf strain Lindor suffered prior to spring training and the left ankle sprain he sustained in late March might limit his impact on the basepaths, but he was successful in his first three stolen-base attempts before being thrown out Sunday.

Baez went 2-for-3 with an RBI double and a walk Sunday in the Cubs' 4-1 win over the Brewers.

Baez's fifth-inning extra-base knock drove home Kris Bryant and broke a 1-1 stalemate. After reaching base three times in the series finale, Baez's OPS now sits at a robust .987 for the season, more than 100 points better than his mark from his runner-up MVP season in 2018. It bears mentioning, however, that Baez has benefited from a .402 BABIP (career .342 mark), suggesting his .323/.360/.627 slash line should be viewed with a fair dose of skepticism.

Diaz went 2-for-5 with a double, two RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 15-5 win over Texas.

Diaz has started five of the last six games and produced his best stretch of the season, going 5-for-18 (.278) with a home run, seven RBI and three runs scored. A lack of consistent plate appearances has limited Diaz to a .232 batting average, but with Jose Altuve (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list, Diaz will get consistent at-bats over the next week.

Ahmed went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Braves.

Six of Ahmed's last eight hits have gone for extra bases. Sunday's double was his 13th, ranking him seventh in MLB. He's sacrificed the flyball approach that enabled him to hit 16 home runs in 2018 but has maintained a higher batting average (.255), slugging percentage (.416) and OPS (.717) with an approach focused on line drives and groundballs.

Camargo went 2-for-4 with two RBI and two runs scored Sunday against the Diamondbacks.

Camargo knocked in a pair of runs in the third inning on a single to left, extending Atlanta's lead to three. The 25-year-old has struggled to hit for average so far this season over 32 games (.241), but he's hit safely in three straight ballgames.
