Adames went 1-for-3 with an RBI double, two walks and three runs in a win over the White Sox on Tuesday.

Adames lived on the bases throughout the afternoon, extending what has been a torrid stretch with the bat after an extremely sluggish start to his season. Factoring in Tuesday's production, Adames is 7-for-14 with two doubles, an RBI, three walks and six runs over his last four games, a stretch during which he's boosted his average 158 points to .195.

Lindor (ankle/calf) was spotted Wednesday doing some light jogging around the bases, Paul Hoynes of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Lindor is with the Indians for their ongoing road trip but isn't expected to play at any point during it. Even so, the shortstop seems to be making incremental progress in his recovery from a left ankle sprain and right calf strain. He was able to do some light agility drills on the field Tuesday and took another small step forward by getting in some running on the basepaths, though Hoynes notes that Lindor wasn't sprinting at any point during the wokout. At this stage, Lindor still looks to be trending toward a late-April return from the 10-day injured list.

Story won't play Wednesday against the Braves with the contest being postponed due to inclement weather in Colorado, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Colorado and Atlanta will hold a make-up game Aug. 26. Story and the Rockies will return to action Thursday in San Francisco for the club's series opener with the Giants.

Diaz entered as a pinch runner after Alex Bregman was pulled from Tuesday's game with a hamstring injury.

Diaz stayed in the game and played first base while Yuli Gurriel slid across the diamond to third base. Bregman is still being evaluated. If he's forced to sit out Wednesday's game against the Yankees, Diaz could find himself in the lineup against Yankees left-hander James Paxton.

Ahmed went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Rangers.

The shortstop already has five doubles in 11 games to start the season, but Tuesday's blast off Mike Minor was Ahmed's first long ball. The 29-year-old is off to a fine .326/.340/.512 start at the plate, but his career .650 OPS indicates he'll cool off fairly quickly.

Swanson went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Tuesday's 7-1 win over the Rockies.

The shortstop has been on a run-producing tear lately, going 5-for-15 over the last four games with a triple, two homers and nine RBI. Swanson's four home runs and .324 batting average suggest the 25-year-old is poised for a 2019 breakout, but he's been hot before and been unable to sustain it whether due to injury or regression. Enjoy this production while it lasts, but he still has plenty to prove to be considered a reliable fantasy asset.

Wendle (hamstring) won't join the team on its current road trip but is likely to do so during the next homestand that begins next Tuesday, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Wendle has reportedly been making steady progress in his recovery, with manager Kevin Cash noting Tuesday that the versatile infielder began running on a treadmill Monday and has felt his soreness progressively subside. With a full week before the Rays' next homestand begins, it's conceivable Wendle could be ready for activation as soon as the opening installment of a three-game set against the Orioles that will kick it off.

Gordon went 3-for-4 with two RBI, one run scored and a stolen base Tuesday against the Royals.

Gordon continued his strong early-season performance, recording his first three-hit game. The most impactful was a two-run single in the fourth inning, after which he proceeded to steal second base. He now has six stolen bases on the season, and is apparently ready to put his disappointing 2018 campaign behind him.

Anderson went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's 10-5 loss to the Rays.

Anderson extended his hitting streak to eight games and is batting .515 (17-for-33) out of the gate. He was raised in the order to fifth for Tuesday's game and didn't miss a beat.

Arcia is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Angels.

Arcia sits for just the second time this season. After grabbing just one hit in his first six games, he has seven over his last four. Hernan Perez starts at shortstop in his place.
