Lindor (ankle) could join Triple-A Columbus for a rehab assignment as soon as Monday, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

Lindor ran the bases both Friday and Saturday. He'll work out with the team Sunday, at which point a decision about the start date for his rehab assignment will be made.

Crawford is on the bench Saturday against the Rockies.

Crawford sits for just the second time this season. Yangervis Solarte starts at shortstop in his place.

Seager went 2-for-3 with two walks, a solo home run and two runs scored in Friday's loss to the Brewers.

Seager shook off a HBP earlier in the week and got to Corbin Burnes, turning around a 95.8 mph fastball for his second home run of the season. The narrative was that Seager was scuffling a bit coming off two surgeries (elbow, hip), but he has bumped his line from .222/.340/.333 to .280/.410/.480 in the span of two days.

Wendle (hamstring) had a good running session Friday at Tropicana Field and is tentatively set to begin a short rehab or extended spring training assignment next Wednesday or Thursday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

The earliest potential return date for Wendle is now projected to be next weekend's series versus the Red Sox. The versatile infielder has been ramping up his activity in recent days, running on a treadmill earlier in the week as well. Wendle has been sidelined since exiting a March 31 game against the Astros with the injury.

Bogaerts went 3-for-4 with a double, an RBI and two runs scored Friday against Baltimore.

Bogaerts doubled home a run in the fourth inning, extending his current hitting streak to four games. The 26-year-old is seeing the ball well at the plate to begin 2019 and is now batting .311 with a home run and four RBI over 13 contests.

Urena will be sent to Triple-A Buffalo prior to Saturday's game against Tampa Bay, John Lott of The Athletic reports.

Urena got off to a solid start at the dish through his first eight games of 2019 and went 8-for-24 with three doubles over that stretch. He'll head to the minor leagues to make room for Clay Buchholz on the 25-man roster.

Seager (hamstring) is starting at shortstop and will bat second Friday against Milwaukee, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Seager was lifted from Thursday's matchup with the Cardinals due to a left hamstring bruise, but he'll be ready to roll for the series opener. He's 6-for-15 with three doubles and an RBI over his previous five contests.

Lindor (ankle) will run the bases Saturday, and Cleveland team physicians will meet with ankle specialist Dr. Robert Anderson to determine whether he can begin a rehab assignment, Paul Hoynes of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Lindor took part in some agility drills on the field Tuesday and managed to jog around the bases Wednesday, so it appears he's closing in on the next step in his rehab. If he is cleared for game action, he's likely looking at a late-April return from the injured list, barring any setbacks.

Camargo went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Thursday against the Mets.

Camargo took Steven Matz deep in the second inning for his first homer of the season. After appearing primarily as a pinch hitter for the first week of the season, Camargo has started four consecutive games. While he has only two hits in 14 at-bats in that span, he does have a home run, four RBI and three runs scored.

Gordon went 3-for-4 with a triple, a home run, two RBI and two runs scored Thursday against the Royals.

Gordon flashed rare power in the sixth inning on a solo blast to right field, and he tripled home a run in the seventh to cut the deficit to one. The 30-year-old second baseman has enjoyed a hot start at the plate through his first 15 games of 2019, batting .365 with 11 RBI and six stolen bases.
