    Mets' Andres Gimenez: Lands on minor-league IL

    Gimenez was placed on the 7-day injured list Thursday with a hand or wrist injury, Andrew Battifarano of MiLB.com reports.

    The move, which is retroactive to Monday, comes after Gimenez was hit by a pitch on the hand during Double-A Binghamton's game against Portland over the weekend. Specifics regarding the issue remain unclear, leaving the well-regarded 20-year-old without a timetable for his return. Prior to landing on the shelf, Gimenez was slashing .232/.305/.333 with two homers and 11 stolen bases in 45 games for the Rumble Ponies.

  • Adam Frazier 2B | LAA

    Pirates' Adam Frazier: Sitting Thursday

    Frazier is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Braves.

    Frazier will rest for the day game after a night game after starting in each of the Pirates' last seven contests. Kevin Newman -- who unseated Frazier as the team's primary leadoff man in late May -- will man the keystone in the series finale.

  • Jeff McNeil 2B | ATH

    Mets' Jeff McNeil: Gets day off

    McNeil is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Giants, Matt Ehalt of Yahoo Sports reports.

    Since being activated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, McNeil has started in both of the Mets' games, going 4-for-10 with a double and a run scored between the two contests. Per Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News, manager Mickey Callaway said McNeil sit Thursday as part of a pre-planned day off, suggesting the 27-year-old didn't experience any setbacks with his left hamstring in either of his two starts. Expect McNeil to check back into the lineup for Friday's series opener against the Rockies.

  • Amed Rosario 3B | NYY

    Mets' Amed Rosario: Pops seventh homer

    Rosario went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Wednesday's 7-0 win over the Giants.

    His fourth-inning blast off Tyler Beede gave Rosario seven homers on the year, including three in his last 12 games. The shortstop's .251/.294/.416 slash line does limit his fantasy appeal to deeper formats, but the 23-year-old could still enjoy a second-half surge as he did in 2018.

  • Dodgers' Enrique Hernandez: Heads to bench

    Hernandez is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against Arizona, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

    Hernandez had started five of the last six games, going 6-for-21 with a pair of homers over that stretch. Chris Taylor will start at second base in his absence.

  • Dodgers' Enrique Hernandez: Launches 10th homer

    Hernandez went 2-for-5 with an RBI single and a solo home run in Tuesday's 9-0 win over the Diamondbacks.

    His solo shot to lead off the seventh inning padded a 3-0 lead, and Hernandez added a run-scoring single in the eighth for good measure. The veteran utility player has now gone yard three times in his last eight games, giving him 10 homers on the year to go along with a tepid .224/.296/.417 slash line.

  • Jeff McNeil 2B | ATH

    Mets' Jeff McNeil: Returns from injured list

    McNeil (hamstring) was activated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

    McNeil spent just slightly longer than the minimum 10 days on the injured list with a hamstring strain. With Robinson Cano (quadriceps) still out, McNeil lines up as the starting second baseman for now, but he may shift back out to left field once Cano is reinstated from the injured list.

  • Amed Rosario 3B | NYY

    Mets' Amed Rosario: Bangs out three hits

    Rosario went 3-for-4 in Sunday's loss to the Diamondbacks.

    The shortstop did a great job setting the table from the leadoff spot, but the Mets' two through four hitters went a combined 0-for-12 behind him. Rosario had been in a rut of his own, going 0-for-13 in his prior three games, and the 23-year-old is now slashing .254/.298/.411 on the year with six homers, five steals, 21 runs and 29 RBI in 56 contests.

  • Ketel Marte 2B | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Blasts mammoth home run

    Marte went 2-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in a victory over the Mets on Sunday.

    Marte teed off against Steven Matz leading off the bottom of the first inning, crushing a sinker 482 feet to center field to tie Nomar Mazara for the longest home run hit in the majors this season. He also plated two runs with a single to cap the scoring for Arizona in the eighth. Marte now has 13 homers this season, only one behind his career high established last year. During his current 10-game hitting streak, he has gone 18-for-47 (.383) with four home runs and eight runs batted in.

  • Dodgers' Enrique Hernandez: Out of Sunday's lineup

    Hernandez is not in the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Phillies, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

    Hernandez started the last three games and went 4-for-12 with four runs, a home run and three RBI, but he will take a seat for Sunday's series finale. Chris Taylor will start at second base and bat seventh in his absence.
