Reyes was optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis on Saturday.

Reyes was sent down after hitting just .128/.190/.128 in 42 plate appearances. Kevin Newman (finger) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move.

Adames went 2-for-3 with a walk and two runs in a win over the Orioles on Friday.

Adames continued to make noise out of the bottom of the order, extending his hot start to the new month in the process. Adames is 5-for-11 with a double, two RBI, a walk and three runs over the first three games of May, raising his season average 28 points over that stretch.

Gordon went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in a loss to the Indians on Friday.

Gordon led off and produced one of only two multi-hit efforts for the Mariners. The speedy keeper of the keystone is now slashing .304/.331/.400 over 126 plate appearances following his third multi-hit tally in four games, and he's logged an impressive 90.0 percent success rate on his 10 stolen-base attempts thus far.

Garcia (elbow) returned to action for High-A Daytona on Friday, going 1-for-5 with a strikeout and a run.

He exited Thursday's game with an elbow injury, but it was apparently very minor, as he was right back in there the next day.

Perdomo is hitting .234/.385/.325 in 96 plate appearances at Low-A Kane County, with 17 walks and 17 strikeouts.

Perdomo isn't hitting for power, but keep in mind that he's 19 years old at his first stop in full season ball. He also has six stolen bases in nine attempts so far.

Seager is hitting cleanup against the Padres on Friday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Seager drops from second to fourth in the order for this matchup against San Diego's Eric Lauer. He'll look to get it rolling at the plate as he has just one hit in his last 24 at-bats, but the left-handed Lauer could present him with a tough matchup, as Seager is just 6-for-39 against southpaws this season.

Garcia exited Thursday's game for High-A Daytona with an elbow injury, Tortugas play-by-play announcer Justin Rocke reports.

He was hit by a pitch on the elbow in the first inning and did not return after a rain delay in the second inning. Garcia has not yet been placed on the injured list, so he should be considered day-to-day.

Diaz started at third base and went 2-for-4 in Thursday's 8-2 loss to the Twins.

The start was Diaz's third straight, following a start at first base and his first-career start in left field. Manager AJ Hinch has had difficulty trying to find him regular at-bats, so this may be a concerted effort to get Diaz's bat going. The 28-year-old utility player has hit groundballs on 53.7 percent of his batted balls, 13 points higher than his rate as a regular with the Blue Jays last season and nearly 10 points higher than his career rate. Unless Houston has to deal with a starter's injury, Diaz will need to be content playing 2-to-3 times per week.

Manager Dave Martinez said Turner (finger) could resume swinging this week, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

Martinez stated that Turner is progressing on schedule, though he failed to offer an updated timetable for the 25-year-old's return. Carter Kieboom should continue to fill in at shortstop until Turner is back to full health. Look for his estimated return date to come into focus once he's able to ramp up his baseball activities.

DeJong is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Nationals.

He'll be on the bench for the first time this season after starting at shortstop in each of the Cardinals' 30 games to date. Yairo Munoz gets the starting nod in place of DeJong, who will put his 11-game hitting streak on hold until Friday against the Cubs unless he's summoned from the bench in the series finale.
