Gordon (shoulder) is starting at second base and hitting eighth Monday against the A's, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.

Gordon has been cleared to rejoin the lineup after being withheld from the starting nine Sunday due to a shoulder issue. The speedster was able to collect a hit -- and eventually score the winning run -- in a pinch hit appearance in the 10th inning Sunday, so fantasy owners should feel safe deploying him this week. Gordon is off to a slow start to the second half of the season (.256/.293/.308), but he's still hitting .278/.300/.339 with 27 stolen bases through 107 games this season.

Gordon (shoulder) entered the Mariners' extra-inning win over the Astros on Sunday as a pinch hitter in the 10th inning, singling and subsequently scoring the go-ahead run.

Gordon's shoulder issues didn't prevent him from hitting successfully for Andrew Romine in the 10th, setting him up to eventually score what would turn out to be the winning run on Mitch Haniger's double. Gordon may be back in the lineup for Monday's series opener against the Athletics, although manager Scott Servais could opt to give him consecutive days off for the second time this month.

Adames went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's 2-1 loss against the Blue Jays.

Adames pushed across Tampa Bay's only run of the contest in the fourth inning by singling to left field. The bullpen would later allow runs in the sixth and eighth innings on the way to a one-run loss. Adames has put together a modest six-game hitting streak over the course of the Rays' last two series, going 11-for-23 with three extra-base hits and three RBI during that stretch. Tampa Bay is slated to begin a three-game series with the Yankees on Tuesday.

Correa went 1-for-5 with an RBI in Sunday's 4-3 extra-inning loss to the Mariners.

Correa's check-swing dribbler in the eighth inning eluded the defense and ended up being a run-producing single. It was his first hit since being activated off the disabled list last week. Correa's 1-for-11 with two walks and four strikeouts since his return.

Mondesi is not in the lineup Sunday against the Cardinals, Jeffrey Flanagan of MLB.com reports.

Mondesi has just a .605 OPS over the past 14 games, so he'll head to the bench for what appears to be a routine day off. Alcides Escobar will replace him at shortstop for the afternoon.

Wendle went 2-for-4 with an RBI ground-rule double in a win over the Blue Jays on Saturday.

Wendle opened the scoring with his timely two-bagger in the first, plating Mallex Smith for his fourth RBI over the last two games. The 28-year-old is now hitting .407 over the first eight games of August, a surge that's already boosted his season average 10 points to .295.

Gordon is not in the lineup Sunday, Alyson Footer of MLB.com reports.

This news didn't raise any alarms given that the Astros are trotting lefty Dallas Keuchel to the mound for the series finale. However, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports that Gordon is actually dealing with a shoulder injury incurred during a slide in Saturday's game. He's available off the bench Sunday, but the Mariners may opt to be careful with him since they're getting All-Star second baseman Robinson Cano (suspension) back Tuesday. In the meantime, Andrew Romine will fill in at the keystone.

Bogaerts is not in the lineup Sunday against the Orioles, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

There were reports that the young shortstop could need X-rays following Saturday's doubleheader, and they proved to be true. Bill Koch of the Providence Journal reports that Bogaerts' X-rays came back negative, showing he just has a jammed left pinkie finger. He's available off the bench, but to start, Brock Holt will assume shortstop duties.

Bogaerts was seen walking with a team trainer after Saturday's second doubleheader game and was expected to have an X-ray, but he later said he was fine, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

Abraham's report on Bogaerts' reaction to the testing didn't seem to raise much urgency over the matter, but given Bogaerts' recent troubles with wrist soreness from being hit by a pitch, it's easy to be concerned either way. The team should release more details in the near future.

Adames went 2-for-4 with an RBI groundout, a run scored and a stolen base in a win over the Blue Jays on Saturday.

August has been kind to the rookie: Adames is 13-for-33 (.394) with two homers since July ended. His .243/.292/.372 season-long line hides how he's been clicking with more major-league reps, and the 22-year-old deserves a spot in deeper lineups while he's rolling.
