Marte is not in Saturday's lineup against the Rockies.

He hit his third homer of the season in the first game of the series in Coors Field but will head to the bench against righty Noah Davis on Saturday. Josh Rojas is manning second base while Emmanuel Rivera starts at the hot corner. Marte has a .311/.347/.556 slash line with two home runs, nine strikeouts and one walk in his last 12 games.

The Giants added Wisely on Saturday as the 27th man for the Mexico Series against the Padres, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Each team gets an extra bench player for the two-game series in Mexico City. The lefty-hitting utility player is slashing .304/.467/.500 with zero home runs and three steals in 12 games at Triple-A. Wisely is capable of playing both middle-infield positions as well as center field.

Gorman went 0-for-3 with two walks and a stolen base in Friday's 7-3 loss to the Dodgers.

This was just the second time in the last seven games Gorman has failed to record a hit, though he's just 6-for-26 (.231) in that span. He had a 9.0 percent walk rate last year, but it's up to 13.1 percent so far in 2023. He's still striking out at a 29.0 percent clip, but Gorman has a steady .279/.370/.547 slash line with six home runs, 22 RBI, seven runs scored, five doubles and two steals through 100 plate appearances.

McNeil went 0-for-1 with a walk and a stolen base in Friday's 4-0 loss to Atlanta.

The game was called after five innings due to rain, preventing McNeil from adding to his line. The 31-year-old has been on a tear, batting .405 (17-for-42) over the last 12 games and boosting his slash line on the season to .298/.416/.415 with one homer, two steals, nine RBI and 11 runs in 113 plate appearances.

Vargas went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 7-3 win against the Cardinals.

Vargas provided the final runs of the contest for the Dodgers with his two-run shot to left field in the seventh inning. It was his first homer of the campaign and the second of his career. While Vargas has shown good discipline at the plate this season -- he ranks second on the team with 16 walks and has recorded a solid 20.9 percent strikeout rate -- the 23-year-old's overall production has been mild. He's slashing .219/.363/.342 with Friday's home run, four doubles, a triple, 11 runs, eight RBI and one stolen base through 91 plate appearances.

Rojas went 1-for-3 with three RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 9-1 win over the Rockies.

The 28-year-old pinch hit for shortstop Nick Ahmed in the seventh inning and remained in the game to play third base. Rojas knocked in a run on a fielder's choice before delivering two more runs on a double in the ninth. The hit snapped an 0-for-15 run for Rojas, who is up to 14 RBI and three steals through 22 games. With right-hander Noah Davis on the hill for Colorado on Saturday, expect Rojas back in the starting lineup and leading off for the Diamondbacks.

Marte went 1-for-4 with a solo homer and an additional RBI in Friday's victory over the Rockies.

Marte's 435-foot long ball broke the ice in the third inning, giving Arizona a 1-0 lead. The 29-year-old now has three homers on the season and is well on pace to pass his total of 12 from last year. The infielder is currently slashing .258/.298/.464 in 104 plate appearances.

Turang isn't in the Brewers' lineup Friday against the Angels.

The left-handed bat of Turang will take a seat Friday against southpaw Tyler Anderson. Owen Miller will instead start at second base and bat eighth.

Rojas is not in the starting lineup Friday at Colorado.

It'll be a righty-heavy attack for the Diamondbacks with southpaw Kyle Freeland on the mound for the Rockies. Rojas has a .711 OPS this year against righties and a .522 OPS versus lefties.

Estrada went 1-for-3 with a stolen base and a hit-by-pitch in Thursday's 6-0 loss to the Cardinals.

This was the third game in a row with a steal for Estrada, who is up to eight thefts this season. The second baseman has also hit safely in nine of his last 10 contests, going 12-for-39 with six steals and nine runs scored in that span. He's posted a .326/.379/.505 slash line with four home runs, seven RBI and 19 runs scored over 103 plate appearances.
