India is considered day-to-day after he was hit in the back by a pitch during a game Saturday with High-A Daytona, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

Daytona has thus far resisted placing India on its 7-day injured list, with the hope being the third baseman will be ready to return to game action early this week. Through his first 22 games in the Florida State League, India is slashing .262/.340/.440 with four home runs and two stolen bases.

Diaz is slashing .233/.305/.360 through 22 games for Triple-A New Orleans with two home runs and 12 RBI.

The Marlins' No. 6 fantasy prospect has been up and down throughout his minor-league career, but the roller coaster is racing downhill at the moment. Diaz's 22.3 percent strikeout rate is a slight improvement on his performance the last couple of years, but his walk rate is headed in the wrong direction and he's not hitting for as much power as he did at lower levels. He's still only 22 years old, and he'll get time to figure things out as long as Starlin Castro is occupying the keystone for Miami, but Diaz simply might not be productive enough to profile as anything more than a bench player once he reaches the majors.

Albies went 3-for-5 with two solo home runs and three runs scored Sunday against the Rockies.

Albies slugged a pair of solo blasts on the way to an 8-7 victory in the series finale. He's notched a base knock in eight of his previous nine contests, improving his batting average to .292 through 27 games in 2019.

Rosario went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Saturday's 8-6 loss to the Brewers.

His solo shot off Alex Wilson kickstarted a four-run seventh-inning by the Mets, but the comeback attempt fell short. Rosario is now slashing .263/.307/.400 with two homers, two steals, nine runs and 15 RBI.

Solarte went 2-for-4 with a three-run homer in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Yankees.

Solarte hit the home run in the ninth inning as the Giants attempted to erase a six-run deficit, though the comeback effort eventually came up short. The 31-year-old is slashing .235/.291/.373 with seven RBI in 51 at-bats.

Hernandez is not starting Saturday against the Pirates.

Hernandez will sit after making five straight starts. He recorded just a single hit over that stretch and is 2-for-27 over his last nine games. Chris Taylor will start at second base.

Hoerner (bruised hand) was placed on the 7-day injured list retroactive to April 24, Double-A Tennessee broadcaster Mick Gillispie reports.

The 21-year-old prospect left Tuesday's game after a pitch hit his left wrist. No structural damage occurred, and he's expected to return at the beginning of May.

Albies went 2-for-4 with a walk and a run scored in Friday's loss to the Rockies.

In his second full season in the majors, Albies is showing signs of developing into a consistent threat at the top of the order. He's slashing .259/.355/.407 over his last seven games, and while the 22-year-old still isn't as effective on the basepaths as he could be -- he's 3-for-5 on steal attempts this year -- he should get plenty of opportunities to improve that aspect of his game if he keeps reaching base consistently.

McNeil went 2-for-5 with two doubles and a run scored in Friday's loss to the Brewers.

He got the start in left field and hit leadoff, and while at some point the Mets might like Brandon Nimmo to reclaim his spot at the top of the order, McNeil's been a table-setting dynamo in his own right this year, slashing .365/.438/.506 with a homer, 11 RBI and 12 runs through 24 games. The batting average puts the 27-year-old second in the National League behind Cody Bellinger, and if he sticks in the leadoff spot, McNeil's run-scoring potential will soar.

Guillorme was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse on Friday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Guillorme went 2-for-9 with two strikeouts over three games during his latest stint in the big leagues. The Mets have recalled Corey Oswalt in a corresponding move.
