MLB Player News

Guillorme will start at second base and bat eighth in Tuesday's game against the Nationals.

Though Mark Canha will get a look out of leadoff spot after the lefty-hitting Guillorme sat atop the lineup for each of the previous four contests, the latter player will still stick in the starting nine even with a southpaw (Patrick Corbin) taking the hill for Washington. Guillorme, who went 7-for-12 with a double, two walks, six runs and an RBI over that three-game stretch, could see more opportunities going forward after the Mets optioned Dominic Smith to Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday.

Marte will sit Tuesday against Atlanta.

Marte owns a 12-game hitting streak, a stretch in which he's slashed .383/.408/.489. He'll get a rest Tuesday as Jake Hager takes over at second base.

Gorman will sit Tuesday against the Padres, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Gorman has started against every righty while sitting against every lefty since making his MLB debut, a trend which continues here against southpaw Blake Snell. Tommy Edman slides to second base Tuesday, with Edmundo Sosa starting at shortstop.

Marte went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double, two RBI and two runs scored in Monday's 6-2 win over Atlanta.

Marte's first-inning single extended a hit streak to 10 consecutive games, during which he's 14-for-41 with four doubles and eight runs scored. The double gives him 17 -- tied for fourth in MLB. He's still below career norms in the major percentage categories, but that just speaks to the depth he fell to during an April that saw him slash .146/.211/.256. The 28-year-old flipped the script in May with a line of .360/.424/.539 while putting together hitting streaks of nine and 10 games.

Urias went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer and two runs scored in the first game of Monday's doubleheader.

Urias' three-run shot off of Daniel Norris in the seventh inning ended up being the go-ahead hit. The 5-foot-9 infielder has hit five long balls with 11 RBI through 24 games on the year. He's 9-for-39 (.231) with three home runs and six runs scored over his last nine games.

Gorman went 3-for-3 with a two-run homer, two runs scored and a walk in Monday's victory over San Diego.

Gorman put the Cardinals on the board with his second career home run, a two-run shot off of Nick Martinez in the third inning. After a four-game hitless drought, the rookie infielder has seven hits, including three for extra bases, over his last three games. With a .387/.472/.677 slash line through 10 games, Gorman looks like a staple in St. Louis' lineup.

Chavis (forearm) isn't in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Dodgers, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

Chavis continues to deal with discomfort in his left forearm, resulting in another start for Josh VanMeter at first base. The Pirates have not disclosed whether Chavis will be available off the bench Monday evening.

McNeil (leg) is starting Monday against the Nationals.

McNeil wasn't in Sunday's lineup against the Phillies due to "wear and tear" with his legs, but he tested things out during pregame warmups Monday and is serving as the designated hitter and batting fifth. The 30-year-old went 5-for-13 with a home run, a double, three runs, three RBI, two walks and a strikeout over the last five games.

Hoerner will sit for the second half of Monday's doubleheader against Milwaukee.

Hoerner looked great in Game 1, going 3-for-5 with three RBI in the Cubs' 7-6 loss. Andrelton Simmons will start at shortstop in the nightcap.

Estrada will sit Monday against the Phillies, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Estrada finds himself on the bench for the third time in four games despite the fact that he owns a .417/.488/.556 slash line over his last 11 games. Donovan Walton will again get the nod at second base.
