Marte went 2-for-4 with a home run, three RBI and a second run scored in Sunday's 9-2 win over the Cardinals.

Marte is dialing in his swing after missing six weeks with a hamstring injury. Sunday's long ball was his first since returning to the active roster May 19, and the outfielder is 7-for-23 (.304) with five RBI and five runs over the last six games.

Dubon went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, an additional run scored and a walk in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Dodgers.

Dubon went deep in the first inning off Clayton Kershaw for his third home run of the season. The 26-year-old has only 11 long balls in his short career. He is slashing just .239/.278/.359 with a .637 OPS, which is much lower than his .274 batting average and .731 OPS over his first two seasons. Before Saturday's game, he went 0-14 without reaching base safely in six games.

Guillorme (oblique) will begin a rehab assignment "soon," Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports.

Guillorme has been on the injured list since April 30, and he made slow progress early in his rehab process. However, Guillorme could be reinstated from the injured list shortly after he's able to begin his rehab assignment.

Kim went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 7-4 loss to Houston.

The 25-year-old went deep off Houston reliever Andre Scrubb in the ninth inning. Kim is up to three homers, 16 RBI, 14 runs scored and four stolen bases through 145 plate appearances. With Manny Machado back from a shoulder injury, Kim is expected to mostly serve in a utility role in the infield once San Diego returns to National League play Monday.

Garcia (hamstring) was optioned to Triple-A Rochester on Sunday, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

Garcia left Saturday's matinee with a hamstring cramp but didn't appear off the bench in Sunday's loss to the Brewers. He'll now return to the minors after he went 1-for-5 with a triple, a run and a strikeout in three appearances during his stint with the major-league club.

Dubon went 1-for-4 with three RBI in Saturday's 11-6 win over the Dodgers.

The Giants took the lead on Dubon's two-RBI single in the second inning, and they didn't trail in the game. He added some insurance with a sacrifice fly to score Donovan Solano in the eighth. Dubon has a .228/.262/.325 slash line with two home runs, 14 RBI, eight runs scored and a stolen base in 122 plate appearances this year. He's gotten a fair amount of playing time since San Francisco has dealt with injuries, but he may be best suited for a versatile role off the bench given his performance.

Manager Davey Martinez said Sunday that Garcia's MRI on his hamstring came back negative, confirming that it was simply a hamstring cramp that forced him to leave Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Garcia did not play in Saturday's nightcap and he is not in the lineup Sunday. However, given Martinez's update, the infielder seems to have a good chance of being available off the bench in the series finale against the Brewers.

Diaz is not in the starting lineup Sunday against Boston, Joe Frisaro of ManOnSecondBaseball.com reports.

Diaz started the Marlins' previous four games, but Miami will turn to Luis Marte on Sunday to fill in for Jazz Chisholm (ankle) at the keystone. Diaz figures to be available off the bench in the series finale.

Frazier went 2-for-3 with a home run and an additional run scored in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Rockies.

Frazier made an impact at the top of the order in both games of Saturday's slate, going 1-for-4 in the first half of the twin bill and later adding his second homer of the campaign in the second contest. Frazier has hit safely in 13 of the Pirates' last 14 games and has been one of the team's most reliable offensive producers.

Garcia (hamstring) isn't starting the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Brewers, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Garcia left Saturday's matinee with a hamstring cramp and will undergo an MRI, so his exclusion from the lineup for Game 2 isn't very surprising. Jordy Mercer will take over at second base and bat eighth.
