Crawford was helped off the field after "severely" rolling his left ankle in a rundown during the eighth inning of Tuesday's loss to the Rangers and is expected to be placed on the 10-day injured list, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports. "That was a gut punch to everybody," manager Scott Servais said. "J.P. was playing great and not just tonight, but [Tuesday] might have been his best game since he was brought up. It's very disappointing. He's getting X-rays right now and we'll know more [Wednesday]. Hopefully, it's just an ankle sprain and he'll be back soon."

Crawford had gone 2-for-3 with an RBI single, a double, a walk and a run before the injury, the latest successful installment of what has been a productive big-league stint thus far. Crawford's forthcoming absence, however long in duration, is expected to result in Tim Beckham returning to an everyday role at shortstop for the time being.

Fletcher went 2-for-4 with a two-run single and a run scored in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Athletics.

Fletcher has hit safely in six straight games, going 10-for-24 with four RBI and five runs scored in that span. Four of those hits have gone for extra bases. The utilityman has settled into the starting job at shortstop with Andrelton Simmons (ankle) out. Fletcher is hitting .318/.365/.458 through 53 games this year.

Anderson (wrist) is not in the lineup for Tuesday night's game against the Royals, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Anderson appeared as a pinch runner during the completion of the suspended game versus the Royals on Tuesday afternoon, but he's apparently not quite ready to rejoin the starting lineup. Jose Rondon will start at shortstop while Anderson remains on the bench for the fourth straight game due to his sore right wrist.

Correa's rib injury may sideline him for the next couple weeks according to general manager Jeff Luhnow, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

It's not clear if Luhnow was referring to a precise timeline for Correa. The shortstop is visiting a doctor Tuesday to determine the extent of his injury. Luhnow did downplay the idea that Correa's injury would be a long-term one, but a trip to the injured list does appear likely.

Correa is not starting Tuesday against the Cubs due to rib soreness, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Correa is being evaluated by team doctors. The severity of the injury should become clear once the result of the evaluation has been made public. Jack Mayfield starts at shortstop in his absence.

Correa remains on the bench Tuesday against the Cubs, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

There have yet to be reports of an injury, but it would be quite surprising if Correa wasn't at least dealing with something minor. Jack Mayfield starts at shortstop in his absence.

Fletcher went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI and two runs scored Monday against the Athletics.

Fletcher doubled home a run in the sixth inning, cutting the Angels' deficit to two runs. He's evidently been seeing the baseball well of late, as he's now pieced together a modest six-game hitting streak. Fletcher is 11-for-23 with three extra-base hits and three RBI over that stretch.

Gordon has a deep bone bruise on his wrist but no fracture, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.

A specialist confirmed that Gordon avoided the worst-case scenario, but his timeline remains unclear. He's not expected to pick up a bat for at least a few more days. Shed Long remains the primary second baseman in his absence.

Wendle (wrist) played catch and hit off a tee Monday, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

Wendle is gradually working his way back from a broken wrist he suffered in late April. His initial timeline, which had him returning in mid-June, still appears to be the target, as the Rays have yet to give an updated plan.

Anderson (wrist) remains out of the lineup for the third straight game Monday against the Royals, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Anderson was listed as a starter initially in each of the previous two games before eventually being scratched, but he's on the bench from the beginning on this occasion. Jose Rondon remains the shortstop in his absence. Per Scott Merkin of MLB.com, Anderson's wrist continues to improve, but he's not counting on returning Tuesday.
