Gordon (wrist) went 1-for-5 in Triple-A Tacoma's loss to Nashville on Sunday. He was also caught stealing on his only attempt.

Gordon logged his third full rehab game since joining the Rainiers, and Sunday's was likely his final one. The veteran is slated to join the Mariners in Minnesota on Tuesday for the start of a three-game set against the Twins after being out since May 21.

Wendle (wrist) started at shortstop and went 3-for-4 with a double and a stolen base in Triple-A Durham's win over Gwinnett on Sunday.

The fact Wendle logged the start at shortstop had significance in and of itself, as manager Kevin Cash remarked over the weekend that the Rays want the option of deploying Wendle at the position when he's activated. The versatile infielder appears to be on the verge of returning, with his 5-for-8 tally over this first two rehab games seemingly indicating his wrist is close to or at full health.

Turner went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a double in a victory over San Diego on Sunday.

Turner's blast -- a 425-bomb to center field -- was the second of four consecutive home runs that put Washington in the history books in the eighth inning. He also scored Washington's first run after reaching base on an error in the first inning. Over his last 11 games, Turner has gone 15-for-47 (.319) with a pair of homers and nine runs scored. His season slash line is now up to .273/.316/.491.

Diaz felt some tightness in his left hamstring while running Sunday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

The Astros will continue to exercise caution with Diaz, so he'll likely take it easy for the next few days. "We're trying to make sure I'm going to be 100 percent when I come back," Diaz told McTaggart. "We tried running at 100, 95 percent and I felt a little tightness in my hamstring. I think that's part of the process. We know hamstrings can be tricky and we're going to keep doing work.'

Ahmed was removed from Sunday's 8-2 win over the Blue Jays in the third inning with a sore left foot.

Jarrod Dyson came off the bench to replace Ahmed, stepping in as the Diamondbacks' center fielder while Ketel Marte shifted to shortstop. Ahmed, who singled in his lone at-bat before departing, is viewed as day-to-day ahead of Monday's game in Philadelphia.

Fletcher is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners due to a sore left shoulder, Maria Torres of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Though Fletcher will be on the bench for a second straight day due to the injury, manager Brad Ausmus suggested he wasn't worried about the 25-year-old requiring a trip to the injured list. Fletcher's absence will open up a starting spot in the infield for Wilfredo Tovar.

Seager went 4-for-5 with two doubles and four RBI in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Giants.

The Giants were determined not to let Cody Bellinger beat them, walking the Dodgers' cleanup hitter three times in five plate appearances, but Seager picked up the slack from the five hole. The shortstop has banged out four straight multi-hit efforts, but he's been hot for a lot longer than that -- Seager is now slashing .330/.392/.637 over his last 24 games with six homers and 26 RBI.

Gordon (wrist) went 1-for-5 in Triple-A Tacoma's loss to Nashville on Saturday.

Gordon played another full game for the Rainiers on Saturday and was able to lace a single for the second consecutive contest. The speedy infielder has now made it through a pair of rehab games without setbacks, and Greg Johns of MLB.com reports that Gordon is expected to rejoin the Mariners on Tuesday in Minnesota.

Crawford (ankle) impressed during agility and running drills Saturday and will take live batting practice at Tacoma on Sunday, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.

Crawford is prepping for the start of a rehab assignment at High-A Modesto at the beginning of the week, and Saturday's developments were certainly encouraging ahead of that step. Sunday's batting practice session, during which Crawford is slated to potentially face both Hunter Strickland (lat) and Felix Hernandez (lat), should serve as a strong foundation for the recovering shortstop's scheduled return to game action.

Fletcher is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against Mariners, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Fletcher had started the Angels' previous 32 games. He'll get a rest Saturday, with Wilfredo Tovar starting at shortstop.
