Frazier went 4-for-5 with a double and an RBI in Thursday's 6-4 win over Atlanta.

He's hitting .339 and leads the majors with 58 hits, though his percentage of hard-hit balls (22.9 percent) is the lowest since his rookie season. With a .375 BABIP that's 65 points higher than his career average, Frazier will almost surely cool off. Still, fantasy managers have to be happy with his fantasy production so far.

Rojas started at shortstop and went 1-for-4 with a double in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Dodgers.

Rojas spelled Nick Ahmed at shortstop and could see more consistent action in the infield going forward. He had been filling in at right field, making five straight starts there while Kole Calhoun (hamstring) is sidelined. That was before the Diamondbacks purchased the contract of Josh Reddick, the veteran right fielder who joined up with Arizona in April, then hit .304/.365/.478 in 11 games for Triple-A Reno. There's a glaring need at second base since Asdrubal Cabrera (hamstring) hit the injured list, and Rojas could be the primary fill-in there.

Marte started in center field, batted second and went 1-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Dodgers.

Marte was activated off the injured list Wednesday and started Thursday for the first time since injuring his hamstring April 7. Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo is expected to slow-walk Marte's return initially -- evidenced by having him in the two-hole instead of his customary leadoff spot -- so expect rest days during the first week or so before he resumes an everyday role in center field.

Trejo was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque after Wednesday's loss to the Padres.

The 24-year-old has been with the Rockies since having his contract selected April 10, but he'll now make his way to the minors. Trejo had a .216/.268/.270 slash line in 41 plate appearances during his first taste of MLB action.

Dubon went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Wednesday's win over the Reds.

Dubon has been one of the most consistent hitters for the Giants over the last few weeks, as he extended his hitting streak to five games and has hit safely in all but one of his last 10 contests. He's hitting .333 with two homers, four RBI and five runs scored in 42 at-bats this month.

Marte (hamstring) was activated from the 10-day injured list but isn't starting Wednesday against the Dodgers.

The 27-year-old has been sidelined since April 7 with a strained hamstring, and he won't immediately rejoin the lineup upon his activation from the injured list. Marte should be back in the starting nine within a day or two, while Tim Locastro receives the start Wednesday in center field.

Marte (hamstring) was activated from the 10-day injured list Wednesday.

The 27-year-old made rehab appearances at the alternate site and Triple-A Reno over the past week, and he'll return from a nearly six-week absence Wednesday. Marte was off to a hot start this season, going 12-for-26 with two home runs, four doubles, five RBI and five runs in six games before going down with the hamstring strain.

Peguero (knee) was placed on the 7-day minor-league injured list Wednesday, Rob Biertempfel of The Athletic reports.

Peguero had been dealing with a minor right knee contusion that kept him sidelined since May 9, but Pirates director of sports medicine Todd Tomczyk reiterated Wednesday that he doesn't think Peguero will miss extended time. Peguero had hit .364 with two home runs, four RBI and four stolen bases in six games with High-A Greensboro to begin the year.

Urias isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Royals.

Urias will take a seat after going hitless with four errors over his past two games. Pablo Reyes will take over at shortstop, batting ninth in the series finale.

Kim is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies.

With Fernando Tatis (illness) returning to the lineup Wednesday after spending the past week and a half on the COVID-19 injured list, Kim's run of regular playing time at shortstop looks to be over. The rookie had started in each of the Padres' last eight games, going 6-for-28 with a home run, two stolen bases, five RBI and two runs.
