Updating a previous report, Crawford (ankle) will head out on a rehab assignment at either Triple-A Tacoma or High-A Modesto in the coming days, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.

Crawford is expected to potentially join teammates Dee Gordon and Ryon Healy in embarking on rehab assignments by this coming weekend. If all goes well during Crawford's time in the minors, he could be cleared for a return at some point during the Mariners' upcoming 10-game road trip that kicks off Friday against the Angels.

Gordon (wrist) will begin a minor-league rehab assignment over the weekend, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Gordon will join either Triple-A Tacoma or High-A Modesto for his rehab stint. Assuming everything goes as planned during his time in the minors, Gordon could rejoin the Mariners during their upcoming 10-game road trip, which begins Friday and runs through June 16.

Wendle (wrist) will begin a minor-league rehab assignment with High-A Charlotte on Thursday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Wendle was originally scheduled to kick off his rehab stint Wednesday, but he'll get an extra day to rest before making his return to game action. The 29-year-old has been sidelined since the end of April, so he'll likely need to appear in a handful of minor-league games before rejoining the Rays.

Crawford is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Mets, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Crawford sits after starting nine straight games. Donovan Solano gets the call at shortstop.

Rojas went 3-for-5 with a double, a run scored and an RBI in Tuesday's win over the Brewers.

Six different Marlins had multi-hit efforts in the 16-0 rout, giving Rojas a chance to be productive even from the bottom of the order. The shortstop has hit safely in seven straight games and 13 of his last 14, slashing .346/.386/.404 over that stretch with two steals, five RBI and seven runs.

Diaz (hamstring) fielded grounders and took batting practice Tuesday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

Diaz was placed on the injured list May 26 with the left hamstring issue and Tuesday marked his first time fielding groundballs or taking BP since landing on the shelf. The 28-year-old has been running over the past week but won't begin a rehab assignment until after the Astros return for their upcoming homestand, which begins Friday.

Gordon (wrist) took batting practice Tuesday and could be ready to rejoin the team in the middle of its upcoming 10-game road trip, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.

Gordon continues to trend upward in his recovery from a deep bone bruise in his wrist. The speedster is likely to embark on a short rehab assignment prior to activation and could be back in action with the big-league club by early next week if he remains free of setbacks.

Adames went 2-for-4 with a grand slam in Tuesday's 9-6 loss to the Tigers.

Adames was without an extra-base hit in his previous 32 at-bats, but Tuesday's grand slam was a no-doubter as he hit it 427 feet to left-center field. The 23-year-old is slashing .253/.317/.389 with five home runs, 26 runs scored and 17 RBI in 53 games.

Baez went 3-for-4 with a home run, two runs scored and two RBI in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Rockies.

Another game, another big effort from Baez. The star infielder has homered in consecutive contests to get to 15 for the season, and he's now slashing .309/.352/.588. Baez should once again be in the MVP conversation toward the end of the year.

Lindor went 3-for-3 with two home runs, three RBI, a double and a walk in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Twins.

Lindor hit a solo shot in the third inning and had a two-run blast in the fifth to provide all the runs the Indians would need, though the offense still tacked on a pair of insurance runs for good measure. The 25-year-old is crushing the ball lately with a .412 average, three doubles and three home runs in his last nine games.
