Drury was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday.

Drury spent just over a month with the minor-league club, and he slashed .303/.375/.545 with five home runs, nine doubles, 21 RBI and 16 runs during that time. The 28-year-old should serve as a reserve infielder.

McNeil (leg) is not starting Saturday's game against the Blue Jays, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Left leg fatigue caused McNeil's exclusion from Friday's lineup and is apparently still bothering the 29-year-old. He's hitting .316 with five RBI and four walks in his last 10 games. Luis Guillorme will start at second base Saturday, with Jonathan Villar playing shortstop.

Rojas was placed on the 10-day injured list with a dislocated left finger Saturday, retroactive to July 22, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

Rojas was slated to miss a second consecutive game due to his injury Saturday, but he'll instead be placed on the injured list to free up a roster spot for Asdrubal Cabrera (hamstring), who was reinstated from the 10-day IL in a corresponding move. The 27-year-old sustained his dislocated pinkie finger Wednesday, but it's not yet clear whether he'll be able to return after spending the minimum of 10 days on the injured list. Josh VanMeter should see increased playing time at second base in his absence.

Rojas (finger) isn't starting Saturday's game against the Cubs.

Rojas will be out of the lineup for a second consecutive game as he continues to recover from a dislocated left pinkie finger that he sustained Wednesday. He could require a trip to the injured list at some point, but he's still considered day-to-day for now. Josh VanMeter will start at the keystone and lead off.

Albies went 2-for-5 with a double and a run scored in Friday's loss against the Phillies.

Albies smacked his 30th double of the season off Zach Wheeler, and he also scored Atlanta's lone run following an RBI single from Freddie Freeman in the top of the third. The second baseman is hitting .265 on the season and he's now hit at least one double in five of his last six contests.

Rodgers was scratched from Friday's lineup against the Dodgers for an undisclosed reason.

A reason for the 24-year-old's removal from the lineup wasn't given, but Ryan McMahon will now take over at second base while Joshua Fuentes starts at the hot corner. It's not yet clear whether Rodgers could be available off the bench Friday.

McNeil is not in the lineup for Friday's game against Toronto due to left leg fatigue, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

McNeil exited Wednesday's game with the issue and still isn't ready to play following Thursday's off day. He hurt the same leg back in May, so it makes sense that the Mets would want to be cautious. Luis Guillorme starts at second base in his absence.

Rojas (finger) will not start Friday against the Cubs.

Rojas dislocated his left pinkie finger Wednesday against the Pirates when diving into second base. Thursday's off day evidently wasn't enough time for him to heal, so he'll be on the bench for at least one game. Per Steve Gilbert of MLB.com, the Diamondbacks are still evaluating Rojas, and a trip to the injured list remains a possibility. Josh VanMeter will get the start at second base.

Albies went 3-for-5 with a double and two runs scored in Thursday's win over the Phillies.

Batting second with southpaw Matt Moore on the mound for Philadelphia, Albies laced his fourth two-bagger in the last five games. The second baseman has yet to homer in July despite his recent display of extra-base power, however, slashing .254/.284/.349 through 16 games on the month with two steals, seven RBI and nine runs.

Guillorme went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 7-0 win over the Reds.

The infielder capped the scoring on the day by taking Tony Santillan deep in the fifth inning, Guillorme's first homer in 48 games this season and only the second of his big-league career. The 26-year-old has been the primary replacement for Francisco Lindor (oblique) at shortstop for the Mets, and he'll gain even more job security if the issue that forced Jeff McNeil (undisclosed) from Wednesday's game proves to be serious.
