  • Amed Rosario 3B | NYY

    Mets' Amed Rosario: Not in Thursday's lineup

    Rosario is out of the lineup against Atlanta on Thursday.

    Rosario will take a seat following nine straight starts, during which he's hit just .150 with a .390 OPS. Jose Reyes will draw the nod at shortstop while batting eighth in the order.

  • Gavin Lux SS | TB

    Dodgers' Gavin Lux: Moves up to Double-A

    Lux was promoted to Double-A Tulsa on Wednesday

    Lux hit a strong .324/.396/.520 with 11 homers and 11 steals in 88 games for High-A Rancho Cucamonga to earn the promotion. Lux projects as a fringe starter with good speed but no other standout tools, though if he keeps showing power he could certainly raise his profile.

  • Jeff McNeil 2B | ATH

    Mets' Jeff McNeil: Day off Wednesday

    McNeil is out of the lineup against Washington on Wednesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

    McNeil will receive a breather after five straight starts in the lineup. In his place, Phillip Evans will man the keystone and bat seventh.

  • Ketel Marte 2B | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Not in Tuesday's lineup

    Marte is out of the lineup against Texas on Tuesday.

    Marte will head to the bench after starting the past eight games, during which he's gone 8-for-29 (.276 average) with an .814 OPS. In his place, Daniel Descalso will man second base and bat sixth.

  • Pirates' Chris Bostick: Called up by Pirates

    Bostick was called up from Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday.

    Bostick has the ability to play second base and all around the outfield. He'll likely serve in a utility role in his time with the team. The 25-year-old has hit a solid .295/.351/.436 for Indianapolis so far this season and went 8-for-27 at the big-league level last year.

    Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Claims 10th triple of season

    Marte went 2-for-4 with a triple Monday in the Diamondbacks' 9-5 loss to the Rangers.

    The triple was Marte's 10th of the season, giving him the MLB lead in the category. While that output seemingly supports Marte's status as one of the majors' fastest players -- he ranks in the 85th percentile among all players with at least 10 running opportunities in terms of sprint speed, per Baseball Savant -- he remains curiously inactive on the basepaths. Marte has logged just three stolen-base attempts this season and seven total across 656 career plate appearances with Arizona.

  • Giants' Kelby Tomlinson: Returns to San Francisco

    Tomlinson was promoted from Triple-A Sacramento to the major leagues Monday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Tomlinson was banished to the minors Thursday, but after Pablo Sandoval (hamstring) and Johnny Cueto (elbow) were both placed on the disabled list, Tomlinson will have another opportunity to prove he belongs. He figures to take on a utility role with Joe Panik returning from an injury and resuming his role as the everyday second baseman.

  • Reds' Jonathan India: Promoted to Low-A Dayton

    India was moved up to Low-A Dayton on Monday.

    India is on the move once again, just days after being called up to Rookie-league Billings in the Pioneer League. Across 17 professional games, he's gone 14-for-54 (.259 average) with six extra-base hits, 12 RBI and one stolen base.

  • Jeff McNeil 2B | ATH

    Mets' Jeff McNeil: Settling into regular role

    McNeil will draw his third consecutive start Sunday against the Pirates.

    Ever since the Mets dealt Asdrubal Cabrera to the Phillies on Friday, it's been McNeil that has picked up most of the playing time at second base. He's 2-for-8 at the dish with three walks since picking up that role, and should at least see an opportunity to hang on to it with the floundering Mets. Prior to his callup, McNeil owned a 1.027 OPS at the Triple-A level and a 1.029 OPS in Double-A, so the power potential certainly exists.

  • Adam Frazier 2B | LAA

    Pirates' Adam Frazier: Gets back-to-back starts

    Frazier will start at second base and hit leadoff Sunday against the Mets.

    Frazier delivered a 3-for-4 performance in the table-setting role Saturday, so he'll get another look atop the lineup in the series finale as Pittsburgh looks to continue its climb up the NL Central standings. With Josh Harrison offering lackluster production at second base since returning from the disabled list in late May, Frazier may have a real shot at sticking as the club's primary option at the keystone if he continues to wield a hot bat.
