The Mariners reinstated Crawford (personal) from the bereavement list Wednesday.

Crawford missed five games after leaving the team last week following a death in his family. Now that he's been reinstated, Crawford should step back in as the Mariners' everyday shortstop and primary leadoff option in Wednesday's "home" game against the Giants in San Francisco.

Fletcher went 3-for-5 with a double, a run and an RBI in a loss to Arizona on Tuesday.

Fletcher had gone an uncharacteristic 1-for-10 in his first two games after returning from an ankle injury, but he looked more like his usual self with Tuesday's three-hit effort. The performance was Fletcher's sixth this season with at least three hits, five of which have come over his last 13 games. The 26-year-old is slashing .308/.371/.428 with an impressive 11.2 percent strikeout rate over 178 plate appearances this season.

Lindor went 3-for-4 with a home run, a double, a stolen base, a walk, four RBI and one run scored Tuesday against the Cubs.

Lindor single-handedly powered Cleveland's offense. He clubbed an RBI double in the third frame and followed that up with an RBI single two innings later. However, his biggest contribution came in the ninth inning, when he slugged a two-run home run to tie the contest. For the season, Lindor has maintained a .286/.346/.469 line with eight home runs, four steals, 24 RBI and 26 runs scored across 48 contests.

Anderson went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and two runs scored Tuesday against the Twins.

Anderson took Tyler Clippard yard in the sixth inning to tally his eighth homer of the season. While that was his first long ball since Sept. 3, Anderson now has four consecutive multi-hit appearances, totaling four RBI and four runs scored in that span. Overall, he's hitting .377/.313/.605 with eight homers, five steals, 19 RBI and 41 runs scored across 174 plate appearances.

Correa had X-rays on his left ankle come back negative Tuesday and was diagnosed with a bone bruise, Julia Morales of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.

Correa sustained the injury during the sixth inning against the Rangers as he fouled a ball off his ankle, and he required assistance leaving the field. The 26-year-old appears to have avoided a serious injury and should be considered day-to-day as he continues to be evaluated.

Correa was removed from Tuesday's game against the Rangers after fouling a ball off his lower left leg, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

The 26-year-old had a foul ball hit him directly around the left ankle during the sixth inning, and he appeared to be in significant pain as he was helped off the field by the athletic trainer and teammate Josh Reddick. The specifics of the injury remain unclear, but based on his initial reaction he could be available for at least a few days.

Chang was recalled by Cleveland on Tuesday.

Chang was sent down at the end of August, but he'll return to the major-league team to serve as infield depth in the coming games. Second baseman Cesar Hernandez was placed on the paternity list Tuesday, and Mike Freeman should be the favorite to receive playing time in Hernandez's absence.

Wendle will hit the bench Tuesday against the Nationals, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Wendle sits after starting 15 of the last 16 games. He hit just .220/.292/.339 over that stretch. Mike Brosseau will start at third base, Wendle's most common recent position.

Anderson went 3-for-5 with an RBI double in Monday's 3-1 win over the Twins.

Anderson's biggest hit of the game produced the third run for the White Sox as he plated Luis Robert in the eighth inning. Over his last 10 games, Anderson is 20-for-43 (.465) with a homer, two stolen bases, seven RBI and 11 runs scored. The shortstop is slashing an excellent .369/.408/.586 with seven homers, five steals, 39 runs scored and 18 RBI through 37 contests overall.

Strange-Gordon, who went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in a win over the Diamondbacks on Sunday, is hitting .357 (5-for-14) over his last seven games.

The playing time is pretty sporadic for the veteran these days, but Strange-Gordon has at least offered serviceable production when in the lineup during recent contests. Even with Shed Long's (lower leg) placement on the injured list, Strange-Gordon is still fighting a relatively uphill battle for opportunities at second base, considering the presence of trade acquisition Ty France and Dylan Moore. However, Sunday marked the 32-year-old's third start over the past week, with manager Scott Servais deploying France at designated hitter and shifting the highly versatile Moore to the outfield.
