Rojas went 2-for-5 with a pair of solo home runs in Saturday's 7-5 loss to Milwaukee.

Rojas took little time to snap an 0-for-9 skid at the plate, hitting a leadoff homer in the first inning. He went yard again in the seventh, and both long balls went over the center field fence. The 26-year-old has a .264/.341/.456 slash line with seven homers, 17 RBI, 29 runs scored and two stolen bases in 205 plate appearances. He's established himself as a leadoff hitter as well as a versatile option on defense.

Guillorme (oblique) is expected to rejoin the Mets by the end of next week, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.

Guillorme began a rehab assignment at Triple-A Syracuse on Friday, scoring two runs to go along with a hit and a walk. He's on track to rejoin New York at some point next week, and could see substantial playing time with Jeff McNeil (hamstring) and J.D. Davis (hand) banged up.

Rodgers isn't starting Saturday's game against the Athletics.

Rodgers will take a seat after he went 3-for-8 with a double and three RBI across the last two games. Garrett Hampson will shift to shortstop while Yonathan Daza starts in center field.

Trejo went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Friday's loss to Oakland.

Trejo didn't start the contest, instead entering as part of a double switch in the top of the seventh inning. He made an immediate impact with his bat in the bottom of the frame, crushing a 433-foot shot leading off the inning. Trejo figures to get occasional playing time at shortstop while Trevor Story (elbow) remains out of action.

India went 2-for-2 with a two-run homer, two RBI and two walks in Friday's 6-4 win over the Cardinals.

India's fourth home run of the season came during a three-run second inning Friday. The rookie infielder has produced three multi-hit games in his last five games, bringing his season slash line to .254/.360/.396 with 23 RBI.

Frazier went 2-for-3 with two walks, two RBI and three runs scored in Friday's 9-2 win over Miami.

The 29-year-old was an effective table-setter Friday. He walked in the first and third innings, and scored both times. In the fourth and sixth innings, Frazier added RBI singles, and came around to score the latter time. Frazier remains strong at the dish with a .338/.402/.479 slash line in 55 games. He's added two home runs, 21 RBI, 33 runs scored, three stolen bases and three triples.

McNeil (hamstring) could be a week or two away from beginning a rehab assignment, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

McNeil was initially expected to be sidelined until late June due to a significant hamstring strain that he sustained in mid-May, but he's trending in the right direction. The 29-year-old will likely require multiple rehab games following his lengthy absence, so it's not yet clear when he could return to the major-league club.

Manager Craig Counsell said Friday that Urias will serve as the primary second baseman while Kolten Wong recovers from his oblique strain, Sophia Minnaert of Bally Sports Wisconsin reports.

Urias is starting at second base and batting leadoff Friday against Arizona, though Counsell noted that he won't necessarily hit atop the order going forward. Nonetheless, the infielder figures to get most of the reps at the keystone until Wong returns from the injured list, which figures to be sometime in late-June at the earliest.

Marte will sit Friday against the Brewers.

Marte will sit for the fourth time in 16 games since his return from a hamstring injury in mid-May. He struggled initially upon his return but has been on fire over his last five games, going 11-for-21 with a pair of homers, two doubles and just a single strikeout. Pavin Smith will handle center field in his absence.

Diaz is not in the lineup Friday against the Pirates, Joe Frisaro of ManOnSecondBaseball.com reports.

The 25-year-old started the past seven games, with the last three starts coming at third base, but he'll head to the bench after going 1-for-19 during the full period. Diaz should continue to see opportunities with Brian Anderson (shoulder) and Miguel Rojas (finger) sidelined, but the young infielder could see those chances diminish if he continues to struggle. Jose Devers will start at second base Friday while Jon Berti covers the hot corner.
