Wendle (wrist) will move his rehab up to Triple-A Durham on Saturday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Wendle has been working his way back from a fractured wrist suffered in late April. He was initially given a 6-to-8 week timeline and is now seven weeks into that period, so he appears to be lining up to return near the back end of that window.

Mauricio went 3-for-4 with two doubles, a solo home run and two additional runs scored for Low-A Columbia on Thursday.

The Mets' No. 1 fantasy prospect following the graduation of Pete Alonso, Mauricio has put together a nine-game hitting streak and hit safely in 14 of his last 16, slashing .353/.366/.544 over that stretch with seven doubles, two homers and a steal. He still isn't showing much patience, posting a 1:10 BB:K during those 16 games, but given that he won't turn 19 until next April, his ability to barrel the ball consistently at such a young age gives him sky-high upside.

Wendle (wrist) went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in High-A Charlotte's loss to Dunedin on Thursday.

Wendle's first taste of minor-league game action could hardly have gone better, as the versatile infielder was in fine form. The 29-year-old's stint on the injured list is now well past a month, so he's slated to log several rehab games before being deemed ready for activation. However, if Thursday's performance proves to be the norm, Wendle may not have to wait much longer to return to the big-league club.

DeJong with 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Thursday's win over the Reds.

DeJong broke a 1-1 tie in the seventh inning with a two-run homer to left field. The 25-year-old shortstop has put together a solid .275/.372/.482 slash line with nine home runs and 28 RBI on the season over 60 games.

Adames went went 2-for-5 with a solo home run Thursday against the Tigers.

Adames took Daniel Stumpf deep in the eighth inning to record his sixth homer of the season. He's riding a hitting streak of eight games, four of which have been multi-hit efforts. Adames entered May hitting just .200 but has improved his line to .256/.321/.402 across 219 plate appearances for the campaign.

Lindor went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a stolen base and three runs Wednesday in the Indians' 9-7 win over the Twins.

Lindor's delayed start to the season due to ankle and calf injuries suffered in the spring has seemingly had no impact on his productivity since he returned from the 10-day injured list in late April. After his third straight multi-hit performance, Lindor's OPS now rests at .938, 67 points better than the career-high mark he posted in 2018. He's also been efficient on the basepaths, nabbing seven steals in eight attempts.

Story went 2-for-3 with two walks, a double, three runs and an RBI in Wednesday's 9-8 loss to the Cubs.

Story has now turned in multi-hit efforts in four of his last six starts, lifting his season batting average to what would be a career-high .293. He'll look to keep rolling in the series finale Thursday, as he'll start at shortstop and bat second.

Swanson went 2-for-4 with a double and a solo home run in Wednesday's loss to the Pirates.

The shortstop has gone yard three times in the last four games and six times in the last 13, adding eight multi-hit performances to the mix to give him a blistering .345/.377/.690 slash line during that stretch. Swanson's already one homer shy of tying last year's career-high 14 as he puts together a breakout campaign at age 25.

Velazquez has been placed on the minor-league injured list at Triple-A Durham with a thumb sprain and is expected to be sidelined for approximately two weeks, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

The infielder has logged a couple of major-league stints already this season, hitting just .083 over 12 plate appearances. However, he's enjoyed much more success with the Bulls, slashing a solid .269/.320/.462 over 30 games (128 plate appearances). If Velazquez doesn't suffer any setbacks during his recovery, a late-June return appears to be in the cards.

Turner went 1-for-5 with a walk-off two-run home run in a 6-4 victory against the White Sox on Wednesday.

He struck out three times, but when it mattered, Turner belted a homer to win it. Because of a finger injury, Turner was playing in just his 22nd game of the year Wednesday. He is batting .263 with three homers, nine RBI, 14 runs and eight steals in 95 at-bats this season.
