Ahmed is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Brewers.

Ahmed has just five hits in his last 11 games, slashing .147/.143/.235 over that span. Ketel Marte will slide over to shortstop Tuesday with Daniel Descalso playing second base.

Manager Kevin Cash said Adames is expected to be sent back to the minors when Joey Wendle returns from the paternity list, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

This sounds more like the Rays, who are preparing to send their top prospect back to Triple-A Durham in a couple of days in order delay his arbitration eligibility as far as possible into the future. He should start at shortstop until Wendle is back with the team, but fantasy owners will have to wait a little while longer for Adames to take over as the team's everyday shortstop.

Adames is starting at shortstop and hitting fifth Tuesday against the Red Sox, Steve Carney of Sports Radio 620 WDAE reports.

As expected, the Rays will waste no time slotting Adames in as their starting shortstop. The 22-year-old, who hit .311/.387/.466 across 40 games with Triple-A Durham prior to his promotion, is situated in the middle of the order against southpaw Chris Sale in his major-league debut. It's unclear if he'll stick in the five hole against same-handed pitching initially, but his above-average hit tool should eventually help him settle into a favorable spot in the lineup regardless of who is pitching for the opposition.

Anderson is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Orioles.

Anderson will head to the bench for just the second time all season after starting five straight games and going just 3-for-18 (.167) over that stretch. Jose Rondon will start at shortstop and hit eighth in his stead.

Herrera was sent down to Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Herrera was sent down to the minors and will be replaced by infielder Brandon Dixon. Herrera went 2-for-13 with five strikeouts over 11 games with Cincinnati.

Camargo is not starting Tuesday against the Phillies.

Camargo is reportedly the Braves' primary third baseman now that Jose Bautista has been released, but that doesn't mean he'll start every day. Ryan Flaherty will get the start Tuesday, while Austin Riley looms at Triple-A. Camargo will likely have to improve on his .209 batting average if he's to keep his job, though his 16:14 BB:K is certainly an encouraging sign.

Wendle was placed on the paternity list Tuesday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Wendle with be away from the team for the next few days following the birth of his baby boy. The second baseman should be back with the Rays for their weekend series against the Orioles. Willy Adames was recalled from Triple-A Durham in a corresponding roster move.

Adames will be recalled from Triple-A Durham on Tuesday, Enrique Rojas of ESPN Deportes reports.

This is somewhat surprising, as the Rays were expected to delay his promotion to the majors until later in the season with the intent of pushing his arbitration eligibility as far as possible into the future. However, with Adeiny Hechavarria (hamstring) still in the treatment stage of his recovery and Adames showing he has little left to prove in the minors -- hitting .311/.387/.466 with four homers and three stolen bases in 40 games for the Bulls -- the Rays decided to summon their shortstop of the future. The 22-year-old should immediately take over as the team's shortstop and could eventually work his way to the top of the order thanks to his above-average hit tool.

Gordon was placed on the 10-day disabled list Tuesday with a fractured right big toe.

Gordon originally injured his big toe against the Blue Jays earlier in the month, but was able to return after missing just one game. The speedster apparently re-injured the toe in Sunday's extra-innings win over the Tigers -- which is somewhat surprising given he stole a base and scored the winning run -- and will now require a stay on the DL to get over the issue. The severity of the injury, along with a possible timetable for his return, remains unclear at the moment, but this is yet another tough blow for the Mariners. Dan Vogelbach was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma in a corresponding roster move, while Gordon Beckham appears to be the most likely option to take over at second base in Gordon's absence.

Turner went 2-for-5 with two doubles, a run scored and two RBI in Monday's win over the Padres.

While he didn't join in the Nats' homer barrage Monday, Turner continues to sting the ball, hitting .303/.378/.667 over his last eight games with three doubles and three home runs. The 24-year-old is well on pace for career highs in all four volume roto categories this year if he can avoid the injury bug.
