Marte (hamstring) went 2-for-3 with a walk and two RBI in a rehab appearance for Triple-A Reno on Tuesday, Jose M. Romero of the Arizona Republic reports.

Diamondbacks assistant general manager Amiel Sawdaye said Marte felt good following the first game of his rehab stint, which suggests he won't need too many games before he's ready to rejoin the major-league club.

Lux went 2-for-4 with a grand slam in a win over Arizona on Tuesday.

Lux broke open a close game with a bases-loaded blast in the bottom of the seventh inning off reliever Kevin Ginkel. The grand slam was the first of his big-league career. Lux has been heating up at the plate of late, going 10-for-25 with two homers and 10 RBI over his past seven games.

Diaz is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Phillies, Joe Frisaro of ManOnSecondBaseball.com reports.

Jazz Chisholm's recent return from the injured list looks like it will spell the end of Diaz's run as an everyday player at second base. The 24-year-old will remain on hand as a utility infielder for now, but since he could still benefit from some development time, the Marlins could send Diaz to Triple-A Jacksonville in the near future.

India will start at second base and bat sixth Tuesday against the Giants.

Shortly after his return from a brief stay on the COVID-19 injured list earlier this month, India appeared to have lost hold of the everyday role at second base, as Nick Senzel had started to get more work at the position. India's playing time has been back on the rise over the last week, however, as he'll be making his sixth start in a row Tuesday after going 5-for-17 with a pair of home runs, three walks and a stolen base over the previous five contests. India has benefited from Mike Moustakas (heel) missing the last three of those games, so the 24-year-old won't be a lock to stick in the everyday lineup once the veteran is cleared to return.

Dubon went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Monday's 6-3 win over Cincinnati.

The 26-year-old went deep off Cincinnati reliever Carson Fulmer in the sixth inning. Dubon doesn't have an everyday job, but he's hit safely in seven of his last eight games, going 9-for-20 (.450) in that span. He's come off the bench in four of those contests. The infielder has a .241/.289/.361 slash line with two homers, 10 RBI, five runs scored and a stolen base through 90 plate appearances.

McNeil (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday.

McNeil exited Sunday's loss to the Rays with left hamstring tightness, but he's now been diagnosed with a strain after he underwent an MRI. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to return, but Johneshwy Fargas' contract was selected and Khalil Lee was recalled as part of the transaction.

Guillorme (oblique) hasn't been cleared to resume swinging a bat during his rehab program, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Based on where he currently stands in his recovery from a right oblique strain, Guillorme is realistically at least a week away from returning from the 10-day injured list. When the Mets are at full strength, Guillorme typically functions mostly as a late-inning defensive replacement off the bench, but his absence looms larger now that four everyday players -- Michael Conforto (hamstring), Jeff McNeil (hamstring), Brandon Nimmo (finger) and J.D. Davis (hand) -- are also on the 10-day injured list.

Kim went 0-for-2 with a pair of walks, an RBI and a stolen base Sunday in a victory over the Cardinals.

Kim wasn't able to notch any hits in the contest, but he still made a contribution on the scorecard. He drew a based-loaded walk in the fourth inning to bring home a run and added a stolen base after another walk in the eighth. The 25-year-old has three steals on the campaign but has struggled to a .190/.247/.286 slash line.

The Mets plan to place McNeil on the 10-day injured list Monday with a left hamstring strain, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.

McNeil left Sunday's game against the Rays with what was originally called left hamstring tightness, but an MRI revealed an injury serious enough to sideline him for at least 10 days. Exactly how much time he'll miss remains unclear. The Mets are rather beat up at the moment and are also without infielders J.D. Davis (hand) and Luis Guillorme (oblique). Jonathan Villar has already moved into a starting role at third base, so Jose Peraza should fill in for McNeil at second, something he was already doing late last week while McNeil battled leg and back cramps.

Frazier went 2-for-4 with a walk in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Giants.

His .323 batting average is at its highest level since the second game of the season and he's slashing .361/.418/.541 in 67 May plate appearances. Frazier, who saw time in left field Friday for the second time in 2021, entered the season with a career .273 batting mark, so it remains to be seen whether he can maintain his lofty numbers. Regardless, the 29-year-old has proven to be one of the team's most consistent players and has likely boosted his trade stock.
