  • Alan Trejo SS | COL

    Rockies' Alan Trejo: Out with dislocated finger

    Trejo dislocated his finger while playing for Triple-A Albuquerque on Thursday and will miss the next several weeks, Nick Groke of The Athletic reports.

    Trejo spent most of the year on the big-league roster but struggled to a .538 OPS in 41 plate appearances. He played just a single Triple-A game before suffering the injury, which will keep him from returning to the active roster for quite some time.

  • Luis Urias 2B | TOR

    Brewers' Luis Urias: Retreating to utility role

    Urias is expected to fill a utility role going forward after the Brewers acquired Willy Adames in a trade with the Rays on Friday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Urias has been a regular starter at shortstop this season but has once again failed to make an impression at the plate. The infielder is just 23 years old and had a fair amount of prospect pedigree, but he's yet to produce an OPS of even .700 in any of his four big-league seasons thus far. His .676 mark this season actually represents a career high but is far from good enough to justify everyday at-bats.

  • Mets' Brandon Drury: Contract selected by Mets

    Drury's contract was selected by the Mets on Friday.

    Drury hasn't done much in recent seasons, hitting just .205/.254/.346 in 167 games. He could see a fair number of at-bats in the near future, however, due to the Mets' extensive injury crisis. He'll head straight into the lineup Friday against the Marlins, batting seventh and playing first base in place of Pete Alonso, who hit the injured list with sprained hand in a corresponding move.

  • Nick Gonzales 3B | PIT

    Pirates' Nick Gonzales: On 7-day IL

    Gonzales was placed on the 7-day injured list with High-A Greensboro on Friday, John Dreker of Pirates Prospects reports.

    It's unclear what the nature of Gonzales' injury is. The star second base prospect was hitting .294/.368/.549 with two home runs, two steals and a 16:5 K:BB in 57 plate appearances.

  • Rockies' Brendan Rodgers: Activated and in starting lineup

    Rodgers (hamstring) was activated from the 10-day injured list Friday and will bat sixth and play second base against the Diamondbacks, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

    Rodgers has plenty of prospect pedigree and is still just 24 years old, but his star has dimmed somewhat due to persistent injury problems. In 102 plate appearances thus far at the big-league level, he's hit a miserable .196/.235/.227. He's been out since mid-March with a strained right hamstring but could get plenty of chances to show what he can do going forward with the rebuilding Rockies already sitting last in the entire league.

  • Adam Frazier 2B | LAA

    Pirates' Adam Frazier: Big night at plate

    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.

  • Josh Rojas 3B | KC

    Diamondbacks' Josh Rojas: Doubles in loss

    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.

  • Ketel Marte 2B | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Returns to action

    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.

  • Alan Trejo SS | COL

    Rockies' Alan Trejo: Sent to Triple-A

    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.

  • Mauricio Dubon LF | ATL

    Giants' Mauricio Dubon: Multi-hit effort against Reds

    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.
