Wendle is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees, Josh Tolentino of The Athletic reports.

Wendle has managed only one hit in 17 at-bats in his first five games back from the 10-day injured list, but he should continue to benefit from at least semi-regular action after the Rays moved corner infielder Yandy Diaz (hamstring) to the IL on Wednesday. The Rays may continue to confine the lefty-swinging Wendle to the bench versus southpaws, however, as will be the case in the series finale with CC Sabathia on the hill for New York.

Mondesi was removed from Tuesday's game at Seattle with right groin tightness, Lynn Worthy of The Kansas City Star reports.

Mondesi is considered day-to-day and the Royals labeled his exit precautionary. The 23-year-old went 1-for-3 with a run scored and recorded his 27th stolen base before leaving the game. Kansas City will wrap up its series in Seattle on Wednesday.

Adrianza was placed on the injured list Tuesday with abdominal issues.

The utility man will be out at least until June 27 with this vague injury. Luis Arraez was recalled from Triple-A to take his spot on the roster.

Bogaerts went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Monday's 2-0 win over the Twins.

Bogaerts' ninth-inning double delivered the insurance run in the win. It was his AL-leading 22nd double, while the RBI was his team-leading 48th in 71 games.

Wendle, who went 0-for-3 in a loss to the Yankees on Monday, is 1-for-16 overall since returning from a stint on the injured list due to a wrist injury.

Wendle missed all but four games between April 1 and June 13 with hamstring and wrist issues, and he clearly is struggling to regain his timing against big-league arms. The versatile infielder is slashing an abysmal .111/.179/.139 over a modest 39 plate-appearance sample this season, but given his .300/.354/.435 line across 139 games in 2018, Wendle clearly has the ability to snap out of his current doldrums.

Owings signed a minor-league contract with the Red Sox on Monday, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.

Owings was released by the Royals earlier in the month after posting an anemic .133/.193/.222 slash line in 41 games. The utility man will get up to speed at the team's spring training facilities in Fort Myers before reporting to Triple-A Pawtucket.

Gordon (wrist) went 2-for-4 with an RBI triple in a win over the Athletics on Sunday.

Gordon was back in the lineup after a one-game absence due to wrist soreness and delivered with a clutch three-bagger in the eighth to extend the Mariners' lead to 6-3. The veteran speedster is enjoying a strong month at the plate after a late start, going 6-for-20 with three doubles, Sunday's triple, two RBI and a walk.

Fletcher went 1-for-3 with two RBI in Sunday's loss to the Rays.

Fletcher plated a run in the third inning on a sacrifice fly to left field, and he knocked in another in the fifth on an infield single. The 25-year-old is batting .308 with five home runs and 27 RBI over 67 games in 2019.

Gordon (wrist) will start at second base and bat seventh Sunday against the Athletics, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

The Mariners held Gordon out of action in Saturday's 11-2 loss while he managed a bruised right wrist, but the injury was never viewed as a major problem. With the health concern behind him, Gordon will reclaim his everyday role in the infield, but he'll have to settle for a spot in the bottom half of the order with the Mariners receiving quality production atop the lineup lately from Mallex Smith.

Adrianza will start at first base and bat ninth Sunday against the Royals, Phil Miller of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Manager Rocco Baldelli will reward Adrianza will a fourth consecutive start after the utility man rapped out five hits and drew a walk in the previous three contests. Adrianza offers some nice versatility and has made impressive strides at the plate this season -- his .794 OPS is 87 points better than his previous career high -- but he'll have trouble finding consistent playing time in a loaded Minnesota lineup once his recent surge ends.
