Marte went 2-for-2 with a solo home run, a double, a walk and two runs scored in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Yankees.

Marte came through at the plate and reached base three times on a day in which the Diamondbacks mustered only seven total baserunners. The 25-year-old is slashing .263/.313/.525 with seven home runs through 30 games.

Gorman has gone 3-for-7 with two home runs, five RBI, a walk and three runs over his last two games with Low-A Peoria. He's now slashing .325/.389/.650 across 90 plate appearances.

Gorman received a somewhat rude introduction to Low-A last season, hitting just .202 and generating an unsightly .280 on-base percentage across 107 plate appearances. However, hints of the pop he carries in his bat were evident in the six home runs he slugged during that sample. The 19-year-old has been much better in his second go-around, with all three components of his slash line showing significant improvement thus far in the current season. Gorman has already matched last season's home-run total as well, and he's laced 13 extra-base hits overall after managing nine in 17 additional plate appearances in 2018.

McNeil went 4-for-5 with one double, one run scored and one RBI in Tuesday's 4-3 extra-inning win over the Reds.

McNeil went 0-for-6 -- though he did walk four times -- over the previous two games, but resumed his multi-hit barrage Tuesday. The 27-year-old has enjoyed a fantastic first month of the season and is slashing .370/.457/.500 with 15 runs, 12 RBI and one home run, earning himself a spot at the top of the lineup for the Mets.

India (back) is back in the lineup Tuesday for High-A Daytona, Daytona Tortugas announcer Justin Rocke reports.

India was hit in the back by a pitch Saturday and was considered day-to-day, but he'll be able to avoid a trip to the injured list. The third-base prospect is hitting .262/.340/.440 with four homers in 22 games for Daytona this season.

Solarte is starting in left field and hitting second Tuesday against the Dodgers.

While Solarte had been getting starts in place of Steven Duggar (wrist), who returns to the lineup Tuesday, he will now fill in for Gerardo Parra, who is in the midst of a brutal slump. Solarte is 7-for-20 with a home run and two doubles over his last seven games, and could continue to get steady work until he cools down at the plate.

Solarte started in left field and went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Monday's 3-2 win over the Dodgers.

Solarte has started five of the Giants' last six games, seeing most of those starts in the outfield in place of the injured Steven Duggar (wrist). Duggar returned as a pinch hitter Monday, which should signal an impending decline in playing time for Solarte. The veteran utility man and his .237/.286/.373 slash line should continue to see starts against southpaws.

Urias went 3-for-4 with three home runs, two walks and six RBI for Triple-A El Paso on Sunday in the team's 10-6 win over Las Vegas.

Urias has done very little with his major-league opportunities this season, going 2-for-24 at the plate, but he's hit .391/.462/.978 with seven homers in 10 Triple-A games. With big-league second baseman Ian Kinsler struggling to a .139/.218/.253 line and shortstop Fernando Tatis exiting Sunday's game against the Nationals with a hamstring injury, it's possible Urias gets the call back to the big leagues in the very near future.

India is considered day-to-day after he was hit in the back by a pitch during a game Saturday with High-A Daytona, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

Daytona has thus far resisted placing India on its 7-day injured list, with the hope being the third baseman will be ready to return to game action early this week. Through his first 22 games in the Florida State League, India is slashing .262/.340/.440 with four home runs and two stolen bases.

Diaz is slashing .233/.305/.360 through 22 games for Triple-A New Orleans with two home runs and 12 RBI.

The Marlins' No. 6 fantasy prospect has been up and down throughout his minor-league career, but the roller coaster is racing downhill at the moment. Diaz's 22.3 percent strikeout rate is a slight improvement on his performance the last couple of years, but his walk rate is headed in the wrong direction and he's not hitting for as much power as he did at lower levels. He's still only 22 years old, and he'll get time to figure things out as long as Starlin Castro is occupying the keystone for Miami, but Diaz simply might not be productive enough to profile as anything more than a bench player once he reaches the majors.

Albies went 3-for-5 with two solo home runs and three runs scored Sunday against the Rockies.

Albies slugged a pair of solo blasts on the way to an 8-7 victory in the series finale. He's notched a base knock in eight of his previous nine contests, improving his batting average to .292 through 27 games in 2019.
