Marte went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk Monday in the Diamondbacks' 7-4 win over the Angels.

The long ball was Marte's fifth of 2018, matching the career-high total he supplied last season. Four of those homers have come in June, with Marte rebounding from a wretched first two months of the campaign to rediscover the emerging power he flashed in the second half of 2017. In addition to the four homers, Marte has added eight more extra-base hits this month, making him an appealing pickup for fantasy owners looking to wring more power out of their middle-infield spots.

Rosario went 3-for-5 with two doubles, a run scored and two RBI in Monday's rout of the Rockies.

The rookie kicked off a four-game set in Coors Field with a bang, putting together his first multi-hit performance since June 2. Rosario continues to struggle with his consistency at the plate -- even with Monday's effort, he has a .200/.231/.320 slash line through 14 games in June -- but he's in the right venue to make some rapid improvement to his overall numbers.

Forsythe is not in the lineup for the first day of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Cubs, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

Forsythe was not in the lineup when the game was originally scheduled to be played Monday, and the lineup remains the same after the game was pushed back to Tuesday. Max Muncy will play second base.

Tomlinson was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Monday, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Tomlinson will join the Giants to offer additional infield depth with Brandon Crawford landing on the paternity list. The 28-year-old, who is hitting .226/.274/.283 across 45 games with the big club this season, will likely head back to the minors once Crawford returns later in the week.

Forsythe is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Cubs.

Forsythe will head to the bench for a breather following a string of four straight starts in which he went 4-for-13 (.308). Max Muncy will pick up a start at the keystone and hit second in his stead.

Rosario is out of the lineup Sunday against the Diamondbacks, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Rosario, who is off to a 7-for-45 (.156 average) start to June, will head to the bench for the first time since May 26. Jose Reyes will pick up a rare start at shortstop and will hit eighth Sunday.

Albies is not in the starting lineup Sunday against the Padres.

It's a rare day off for the breakout second baseman, as Albies has started each of the first 70 games this year at the keystone. He's slowed down considerably in the month of June, however, slashing .131/.172/.295 across 64 plate appearances. After going hitless in another set of back-to-back games, manager Brian Snitker will send Albies to the bench in favor of Johan Camargo at second base. Dansby Swanson will get the call to bat atop the batting order for the series finale.

Hernandez went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer against the Giants on Saturday.

Hernandez drew a second consecutive start with a left-handed pitcher on the mound and came through with his 10th home run of the season. He entered Saturday's contest with a slugging percentage nearly 100 points below his career mark against southpaws, but with home runs against them in consecutive games, it appears that he is seeing them well once again.

Hernandez started in center field and went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in a win over the Giants on Friday.

Hernandez took Derek Holland deep in the first inning, getting the ball rolling for the Dodgers' offense in an important division win. The super-utility man is only batting .217 this year, but he is on pace to pass his career high of 11 homers in 2017 with nine long balls through 173 plate appearances this season. Hernandez has started five of the club's last seven contests, but the majority of those have come against left-handed starters.

Marte is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Mets.

Marte has found his groove after a rough first two months of the season, and is batting .385/.421/.808 with three home runs and 15 RBI in 57 plate appearances over his last 16 games. Daniel Descalso will start at second base and bat fifth for the Diamondbacks, but don't expect Marte to be out of the lineup for long given his recent production.
