Gordon was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a right wrist contusion.

Gordon was out of the lineup for almost a week earlier this month after getting hit by a pitch on his right wrist, and apparently the injury is still an issue. It is unclear if Gordon will go for further tests on the wrist or if the team is just going to let him rest for 10 days. He will be eligible to return May 31. Shed Long was promoted from Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Baez (heel) won't start Tuesday against the Phillies but could be back in the lineup Wednesday, Bruce Levine of 670TheScore.com reports.

Baez suffered a heel contusion Sunday against the Nationals and sat out Monday, but he was reportedly available off the bench. Chances are, he will be available in a similar capacity again Tuesday. Addison Russell should continue to fill in at shortstop until Baez is ready to go.

Tejada was assigned to Double-A Binghamton on Tuesday, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.

Tejada joined the Mets organization on a minor-league deal late in spring training but had yet to make his season debut at any level. With no major-league at-bats since 2017 and a .230/.291/.298 line for Triple-A Norfolk in the Orioles system last season, Tejada is unlikely to be anything other than a last-resort option for the Mets this year.

Diaz (hamstring) could return to the lineup Tuesday, David Barron of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Diaz participated in pregame drills. Manager AJ Hinch said Diaz will be back Tuesday "if all goes well." With Jose Altuve (hamstring) nearing a rehab assignment, Diaz could have another four or five games as the starting second baseman, depending on when Altuve's rehab stint starts.

Ahmed went 2-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in Monday's 2-1 loss to the Padres.

Ahmed was the lone player on either team to reach base three times in a game that was a pitching duel between Arizona's Luke Weaver and San Diego's Chris Paddack. He came around to score the Diamondbacks' lone run in the third. It was the 25th run of the season for Ahmed, who ranks third on the team in the category behind Eduardo Escobar and David Peralta.

Crawford went 2-for-3 with a solo homer in Monday's 4-1 loss to Atlanta.

San Francisco was held to two hits Monday, both off the bat of Brandon Crawford. The former All-Star shortstop has three homers and an unsightly .591 OPS in 173 plate appearances.

Bogaerts went 3-for-5 with a home run, three RBI and three runs in a 12-2 victory against the Blue Jays on Monday.

The Red Sox shortstop singled twice in the first three innings and then added a solo home run for good measure during the ninth. Bogaerts has reached base in 11 straight games, including in 25 of his last 43 plate appearances. He's batting .285, but this on-base streak has raised his on-base percentage to .380. Bogaerts also has eight home runs, 31 RBI, 34 runs and one steal in 172 at-bats this season.

Swanson isn't starting Monday's game against the Giants.

Swanson has hit safely in each of his last three games, but he'll catch a breather Monday night in the series opener. Johan Camargo gets the nod at shortstop and is batting seventh in Swanson's absence.

Baez (heel) will be available off the bench Monday against the Phillies, Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com reports.

Baez is not in the lineup for Monday's series opener due to a right heel contusion that he suffered Sunday. Fortunately, the issue doesn't appear to be anything overly serious, as evidenced by his availability off the bench Monday. Addison Russell is starting at shortstop and hitting eighth in this one, while Baez should be considered day-to-day.

Diaz (hamstring) is out of the lineup as expected Monday against the White Sox, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Diaz has been battling a Grade 1 hamstring strain since Friday. Tony Kemp gets the start at second base in his absence.
