Albies went 2-for-4 with a double, a triple, a run scored and an RBI in a 7-2 loss to the Brewers on Thursday.

Albies is now .500 (7-for-14) with three extra-base hits over the last three games, bringing him to a ridiculous 49 extra-base hits in 371 at-bats this season. The 21-year-old phenom is meeting all expectations and blowing them out of the water at this point, and fantasy owners that jumped on him early in the draft continue to reap the benefits.

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

As expected, Tomlinson was sent back to the minor leagues following Johnny Cueto's activation from the disabled list. In 48 games for San Francisco, Tomlinson hit .221 with five extra-base hits and nine RBI.

Garcia was promoted to High-A Potomac on Wednesday and went 0-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in his Carolina League debut.

Garcia moved up a rung on the minor-league ladder after slashing .294/.334/.398 with eight stolen bases and a 20:49 BB:K over 323 plate appearances. It's not eye-popping production, but the fact that Garcia merely held his own offensively as an 18-year-old in the South Atlantic League while playing an up-the-middle spot is reason enough to get excited about his long-term potential. He's likely to make his biggest fantasy impact in the steals or batting average categories, but his six-foot, 190-pound frame offers some power projection, too.

Albies went 3-for-5 with a stolen base in Wednesday's 6-2 loss to the Yankees.

After seeing his 11-game hitting streak snapped Monday, Albies has roared back with five hits in the last two contests. The 21-year-old is locked in once again, hitting .356 (32-for-90) over his last 20 games with four homers, two steals, 14 RBI and 15 runs.

Tomlinson is expected to be optioned back to Triple-A Sacramento on Thursday, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic Bay Area reports.

Tomlinson was called up Wednesday and inserted into the starting lineup, but he's unlikely to remain with the team for more than a day. The Giants will need a roster spot with Johnny Cueto (elbow) returning from the disabled list, and Tomlinson is likely to be the player forced to make way.

Tomlinson was recalled by the Giants on Wednesday, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic Bay Area reports.

Tomlinson will jump straight into the starting lineup, batting eighth and playing third base against the Rockies. In 47 games with the Giants earlier this season, he hit a disappointing .216/.281/.270. Pierce Johnson was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento in a corresponding move.

Rosario is out of the lineup against the Blue Jays on Wednesday, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Rosario will head to the bench after going 0-for-4 during Tuesday's loss. In his place, Jose Reyes will start at shortstop and bat ninth.

Hernandez started in center field and went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in an 8-3 win over Pittsburgh on Tuesday.

Yasiel Puig got a routine day off, causing an outfield shuffle that allowed Hernandez to start in center field against a right-handed starter. The 26-year-old rewarded manager Dave Roberts' decision with his 15th homer of the season. The super-utility man is putting more balls in the air (51.9 flyball percentage), leading to a career-best .256 isolated power mark. A poor batting average (.237) and inconsistent playing time are what hold back Hernandez's mixed-league value, as he is usually situated on the bench against righties when all of the Dodgers' starters are healthy and well-rested.

Marte (hamstring) will start at second base and bat sixth against the Cardinals on Tuesday.

Marte was able to come in as a defensive replacement during Monday's game and went 1-for-2 after being left out of the starting lineup due to a right hamstring cramp. Across 80 games this year, he's hit .247/.299/.413 with six home runs, 31 RBI and two stolen bases.

Marte (hamstring) is out of the lineup against the Cardinals on Monday, Jody Jackson of Fox Sports Arizona reports.

Marte will remain on the bench for a second straight contest after suffering a right hamstring cramp during Saturday's outing. In his place, Daniel Descalso will man the keystone and bat sixth. Consider Marte day-to-day ahead of Tuesday's game.
