Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Out of Monday's starting nine
Marte is out of Monday's lineup against the Reds.

Dodgers' Enrique Hernandez: Hits seventh homer
Hernandez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 4-1 win over the Padres.
Hernandez started and batted in the heart of the order for a second consecutive game, with the Dodgers taking on a pair of left-handed starters. Normally known for his ability to hit lefties well, the platoon player is generating pretty even splits this season. The 26-year-old is batting .208 with four homers in 60 plate appearances against righties, compared to .213 with three homers in 70 plate appearances against southpaws. Despite this new development, Hernandez generally only starts against lefties, so expect him to be in Sunday's lineup against the left-handed Eric Lauer.

Amed Rosario SS | NYY
Mets' Amed Rosario: Situated on bench Saturday
Rosario is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Brewers, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Rosario will head to the bench for the first time all month while Jose Reyes picks up a start at shortstop. The youngster is hitting .271/.268/.443 with three homers in 21 games in May.

Ketel Marte 2B | ARI
Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Avoids significant hand injury
Marte was removed in Friday's 7-1 win over the Athletics after his right hand rolled up underneath him while he slid into third base on his ninth-inning triple, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.
Marte's triple scored Paul Goldschmidt and boosted Arizona's lead to six runs, so manager Torey Lovullo decided it wasn't worth it to keep the infielder in the contest with the outcome essentially already decided. Lovullo said afterward that Marte checked out fine in a post-game examination and would be back in the lineup Saturday.

Amed Rosario SS | NYY
Mets' Amed Rosario: Blasts third homer Friday
Rosario went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's extra-inning loss to the Brewers.
His third-inning no-doubter off Junior Guerra was only Rosario's third homer of the season, but all three have come in the last six games. The 22-year-old is hitting .300 (15-for-50) over his last 15 games, and while there are still plenty of rough edges to his game -- including a 1-for-5 performance on steal attempts and a 4:35 BB:K so far in 2018 -- Rosario's athleticism is beginning to turn into fantasy production.

Luis Garcia 2B | WAS
Nationals' Luis Garcia: Locked in at Low-A
Garcia went 4-for-4 with a walk, a double, two runs scored and two RBI for Low-A Hagerstown in Friday's win over Greensboro.
The Nats' No. 4 fantasy prospect just turned 18 on May 16 and he's been celebrating in style, posting a phenomenal .405/.422/.595 slash line over his last 11 games. Garcia is still a long way from the majors, but his performance this year in full-season ball has been impressive given his age, while his speed and hit tools give him plenty of fantasy promise if and when he gets to the Show.

Isan Diaz 2B | DET
Marlins' Isan Diaz: Returns from disabled list
Diaz (concussion) was reinstated from the minor-league disabled list Friday.
Diaz was hit in the helmet by a fastball May 16 and was subsequently placed on the DL with a concussion, but thankfully only needed a little more than a week to recuperate. The 21-year-old has a .194/.325/.336 slash line in 37 games for Double-A Jacksonville this season.

Logan Forsythe 2B | LAD
Dodgers' Logan Forsythe: Drives in run Wednesday
Forsythe went 1-for-3 with an RBI double in Wednesday's 3-0 win over Colorado.
Forsythe is showing some signs of life at the plate, going 5-for-14 with three doubles over his last five games. He is still batting just .188 on the year, but he can build on that if his luck turns around (.203 BABIP) and he continues his recent hot streak.
