McNeil went 2-for-4 with a triple and an RBI in Wednesday's win over the Giants.

He collected both hits in his first two trips to the plate, setting a Mets rookie record in the process with hits in eight consecutive at-bats. McNeil now boasts a .333/.392/.495 slash line through his first 28 big-league games, although the power he flashed this year in the minors (19 homers in 88 games between Double-A and Triple-A) hasn't shown up at the big-league level.

Marte is not in the lineup against the Angels on Wednesday.

Marte will take a seat for the finale of a two-game set after starting the past 12 games. Daniel Descalso will man the keystone and bat fifth.

Rosario is not in the lineup versus San Francisco on Wednesday.

Rosario will receive a breather following seven straight starts, including an 0-for-4 showing during Tuesday's victory. In his place, Jack Reinheimer will draw a start at shortstop. Expect to see Rosario back in the lineup Thursday.

Gorman went 2-for-3 with two home runs, a walk and three RBI for Low-A Peoria in its 6-5 loss to Quad Cities on Monday.

The 18-year-old has tallied four home runs through his first 12 games at Peoria, bringing his season total to 15 after he previously raked with rookie-level Johnson City. True to his reputation heading into the 2018 first-year player draft, Gorman has showcased plenty of power in the lower rungs of the minors, but his poor contact rate bears watching. He's already struck out 21 times in 51 plate appearances (41.2 percent) with Peoria.

McNeil is not in the starting nine versus San Francisco on Monday.

McNeil will take up a spot on the pine after starting the past four games, during which he's gone 7-for-18 with three extra-base hits and three RBI. In his absence, Jose Reyes will man the keystone and bat sixth in the order. Look for McNeil to rejoin the lineup Tuesday.

Frazier supplied a walkoff, pinch-hit solo home run in the Pirates' 2-1 victory over the Cubs on Sunday in 11 innings.

Though Frazier was out of the lineup for the third time in four games, it didn't prevent him from making an impact off the bench. He entered the contest in the bottom of the ninth and reached base after being hit by a pitch, then swapped in for Corey Dickerson in left field and delivered the decisive hit two innings later. Since being promoted from Triple-A Indianapolis in late July, Frazier is slashing .390/.422/.661 across 59 at-bats, but it doesn't look like he'll be in store for a full-time role with the Pirates committed to Josh Harrison as their everyday second baseman.

Rosario went 3-for-5 with three RBI in Sunday's 8-2 win over Philadelphia.

In the five-game series against the Phillies, Rosario racked up 10 hits, seven RBI and eight runs scored. He's slashing .247/.290/.372 in 431 plate appearances this season. Rosario has also collected 14 stolen bases with 32 extra-base hits.

Hernandez went 2-for-5 with a home run, three RBI, a run scored and a walk in Sunday's 12-1 win over Seattle.

Hernandez's last home run came way back on July 20, the first game back from the All-Star break. This year, he's up to 18 long balls and 43 RBI as he continues setting new career highs in nearly every offensive category.

Hernandez will start in center field and bat sixth Sunday against the Mariners, Andy McCullough of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Hernandez will remain in the lineup for the fifth time in six games, but all of those starts have come against left-handed pitching. The utility man still looks to be a short-side platoon man for the Dodgers, thereby hindering his rest-of-season fantasy outlook.

McNeil went 2-for-4 with a triple, an RBI, a run scored and a stolen base in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Phillies.

McNeil added a key insurance run in the seventh inning after an RBI triple in the seventh pushed the lead to three. After being called up to the big leagues July 24, McNeil is batting .278 with seven extra-base hits and six RBI through 24 games with the Mets.
