  • Ketel Marte 2B | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Heads to bench Sunday

    Marte is not in the lineup Sunday against the Marlins.

    Marte, who has six hits in his last 17 at-bats and has notched five RBI in his last five starts, will make his way to the bench in favor of Daniel Descalso at second base. Expect to see Marte back in the lineup Monday in San Francisco.

  • Luis Guillorme 3B | HOU

    Mets' Luis Guillorme: Garners fifth straight start

    Guillorme will start at third base and bat seventh Sunday against the Cubs, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

    Injuries to Todd Frazier (hamstring) and Wilmer Flores (back) have opened up a full-time role at third base for Guillorme, who starts for the seventh time in eight games Sunday. With a 6-for-25 showing at the plate over the previous seven contests, Guillorme probably hasn't done enough to send fantasy players scrambling to the wire to pick him up, and his window for relevance will likely come to a close soon. According to Matt Ehalt of The Bergen Record, Frazier is expected to return from the 10-day disabled list prior to the start of a two-game set with the Orioles on Tuesday, at which point Guillorme would fade back to a reserve role.

  • Logan Forsythe 2B | LAD

    Dodgers' Logan Forsythe: Out of Saturday's lineup

    Forsythe is out of Saturday's lineup against the Rockies, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

    This is his second day out of the lineup over the last three games. He is hitting .244/.300/.311 with zero home runs over his last 45 at-bats. Breyvic Valera is starting at second base and hitting eighth against righty German Marquez.

  • Ketel Marte 2B | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Hits two home runs Friday

    Marte went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs in Friday's win over the Marlins.

    Marte clubbed a home run off lefty Jarlin Garcia in the fifth, and hit another solo shot -- his third of the year -- off righty Brad Ziegler in the eighth. It was Marte's first multi-homer game of his big-league career, and he now has 15 RBI and 19 runs scored to go along with 14 extra-base hits.

  • Adam Frazier 2B | LAA

    Pirates' Adam Frazier: Scores twice in win

    Frazier went 2-for-4 with a double, a triple and two runs scored in Friday's win over the Cardinals.

    Frazier recorded the hits off starter Miles Mikolas, bringing his total of extra-base hits to eight on the season. The 26-year-old is hitting .242/.322/.367 with three home runs, eight RBI and 23 runs on the year.

  • Giants' Kelby Tomlinson: Optioned to Triple-A

    Tomlinson was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento on Friday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Joe Panik (thumb) came off the disabled list in a corresponding move, so Tomlinson was the obvious roster casualty. He will serve as organizational middle-infield depth at Triple-A.

  • Logan Forsythe 2B | LAD

    Dodgers' Logan Forsythe: Gets day off Thursday

    Forsythe is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Phillies.

    Forsythe is hitting .303/.362/.394 over his last 11 games, but he'll give way to Breyvic Velera at the keystone for Thursday's series finale. While he's starting to see the ball better recently, the veteran is still hitting just .205/.255/.295 across 94 plate appearances this season.

  • Amed Rosario SS | NYY

    Mets' Amed Rosario: Scores twice Wednesday

    Rosario went 2-for-4 with a double, a triple and two runs scored in Wednesday's win over the Braves.

    It's his third straight multi-hit game, and Rosario now boasts a .350/.381/.650 slash line over his last dozen contests. The 22-year-old also contributed with his glove Wednesday, starting a double play in the eighth inning that snuffed out an Atlanta rally. His overall fantasy production on the season remains flimsy, but Rosario has the tools to put together a big summer if things are beginning to click for him.

  • Amed Rosario SS | NYY

    Mets' Amed Rosario: Drives in three in Monday's nightcap

    Rosario went 2-for-5 with three RBI in a win over the Braves during the second game of Monday's doubleheader.

    He chipped in some fantasy value in the matinee as well, going 1-for-4 with his third stolen base of the season, Rosario has put together a nice little hot streak, slashing .313/.353/.594 over his last 10 games with three homers, two steals, six RBI and five runs, and while the 22-year-old will probably have plenty of peaks and valleys in his production ahead, he seems to have found his footing in the majors as he approaches his 100th game with the Mets.

  • Ketel Marte 2B | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Two-hit showing off bench

    Marte went 2-for-2 with a double and an RBI in the Diamondbacks' 12-5 triumph over the Reds on Monday.

    Marte was out of the starting lineup Monday, but that didn't prevent him from posting his first multi-hit game since May 13. Despite the strong showing Monday, Marte is still hitting just .217 over the Diamondbacks' last seven games and hasn't resembled the player that looked like a cornerstone infielder in the second half of 2017. His OPS is down 149 points from the season before, putting Marte at risk of surrendering his everyday role.
