Hernandez is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Mets, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

Hernandez is hitting just .162/.241/.257 with a pair of homers and a 26.5 percent strikeout rate through 21 games this month, so he'll take a seat for the third time in five games. Max Muncy is starting at second base in this one, with Matt Beaty covering first base.

Marte is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Rockies.

Marte will retreat to the bench for what appears to be a routine day off following a string of 17 straight starts during which he hit .307/.338/.533 with three homers and 10 RBI. In his place, Ildemaro Vargas is starting at second base and hitting second Wednesday.

Rosario went 2-for-3 with a walk, a triple, a run scored, an RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's win over the Dodgers.

The 23-year-old did a little bit of everything from the top of the order for the Mets. Rosario now has three multi-hit performances in his last five games, going 7-for-22 (.318) over that stretch with three doubles, a triple and a homer to boost his overall slash line to .262/.307/.421. The steal was also his fifth of the season but first since May 3. He took awhile to get rolling in that category in 2018 as well -- Rosario swiped 18 of his 24 bags last year after the All-Star break.

Frazier (foot) will start at second base and lead off Wednesday against the Reds.

Frazier was out of the lineup for the second game of Monday's doubleheader along with Tuesday's 11-6 loss while dealing with a sore foot that stemmed from being hit by a pitch. The day off appears to have done Frazier some good, as he received the green light to re-enter the lineup at his usual position and lineup spot. Cole Tucker will head to the bench to open up room in the infield for Frazier.

Frazier (foot) isn't in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Reds.

Frazier will take a seat for the second straight contest, as he was also held out of the lineup for Game 2 of Monday's doubleheader. He was drilled by a pitch in the foot in Game 1 and was spotted with a wrap on the same foot Tuesday, though the team has yet to reveal the severity of the injury. Kevin Newman draws the start at the keystone and will lead off.

Edwards went 3-for-4 with a double, two runs and a walk for Low-A Fort Wayne on Monday.

Edwards continues to rake at a torrid clip for the TinCaps, as his latest multi-hit day brings his batting average up to a Midwest League-leading .378 through 164 at-bats. The 19-year-old still hasn't hit a homer, so the lack of power is the one nitpick on his superb start to the season, but Edwards is still slugging .439, so it's not like he's hitting all singles. In addition to average, he's currently leading the Midwest League in hits (62) and on-base percentage (.435).

Rodgers isn't in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Diamondbacks, Kyle Newman of The Denver Post reports.

Rodgers has reached base safely in six of his first eight games in the big leagues this season, but he's set for a breather. Ryan McMahon draws the start at the keystone and will bat sixth in Rodgers' absence.

Rosario went 3-for-5 with a pair of doubles and two runs in the Mets' 9-5 loss to the Dodgers on Monday.

Rosario had gone two straight games without a hit coming into this contest, but he broke out with a nice day from atop the order against the Dodgers, lacing his eighth and ninth two-baggers of the season and crossing the plate twice. He's slashing .256/.299/.407 with five homers and 27 RBI through 199 at-bats.

Frazier isn't in the starting lineup for Game 2 of Monday's doubleheader against Cincinnati.

Frazier led off in Game 1 and went 2-for-4 with a run scored in an 8-5 victory for Pittsburgh. It's worth noting that he was struck by a pitch on his foot, though there's been no word from the team about any sort of injury. Colin Moran gets the call at the keystone and will bat fifth with Frazier riding the pine.

Hernandez will sit Monday against the Mets, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Hernandez sits for the second time in three games. He owns a .409 OPS over his last 17 games. Chris Taylor starts at second base.
