Albies (foot) will start at second base and hit second against the Cardinals on Friday.

Albies was forced to miss Wednesday's contest due to a sore foot that he tweaked Tuesday. He was able to gain some additional rest during the club's off day Thursday, so look for him to be firing on all cylinders moving forward.

Hernandez went 2-for-4 with a double, a pair of RBI and a run scored in an 11-5 loss to the Cubs on Thursday.

Chris Taylor (hamstring) was able to return to the starting lineup Thursday, pushing Hernandez to the outfield against a southpaw. The latter had been red hot (.323/.400/.645 with three homers) while starting eight consecutive games, the majority of which came at shortstop. With Taylor back in the fold, Hernandez should fall back into the super-utility role he had been filling.

Marte is not in the lineup against the Marlins on Thursday.

Marte will take a seat in favor of Daniel Descalso after going 1-for-4 with a double and one run scored during Wednesday's contest. Look for Marte to rejoin the starting nine Friday versus San Francisco.

Albies' absence Wednesday was related to a sore foot, David O'Brien of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Albies took a pitch off his foot Tuesday. The Braves have an off day Thursday, so there's a good chance he's able to return Friday unless a more serious injury is discovered.

Albies is out of the lineup against Cincinnati on Wednesday.

Albies will retreat to the bench for a rare day off -- just his second of the season -- after going 14-for-26 with eight runs scored over the past five games. Johan Camargo will man second base in his absence while Danny Santana gets a start in the outfield for Wednesday's series finale. Expect to see Albies back in the starting nine Friday in St. Louis.

Rosario is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Pirates, according to Tim Healey of Newsday.

Manager Mickey Callaway has not revealed any official changes at the shortstop position for the Mets, but Jose Reyes started cutting into Rosario's playing time last week and has now started three straight games at shortstop, so the two players are at least seemingly on equal ground at the moment.

Guillorme was optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Guillorme has not had a hit since June 2 and made two errors in Monday's contest, so the Mets decided to send him back to Las Vegas to iron things out. Relief pitcher Gerson Bautista was called up to take Guillorme's spot on the roster.

Albies went 3-for-6 with two doubles, a home run, two runs scored and two RBI in an extra-innings win over the Reds.

His 17th homer of the season was a particularly dramatic one, as Albies launched a walkoff shot in the bottom of the 11th inning. The 21-year-old is red hot once again, reeling off four straight multi-hit games and slashing .345/.367/.603 over his last 13 games with three home runs, six doubles and 11 RBI.

Hernandez went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Monday's 2-1 victory over the Cubs.

Hernandez followed up his two-homer performance Sunday with his 13th long ball of the season. Chris Taylor (hamstring) -- whose injury Hernandez has benefited from -- also homered off the bench, but manager Dave Roberts said that the former may not be ready to return Tuesday, according to Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times. If that scenario holds true, Hernandez should continue to see starts at short while Taylor mends on the bench.

Forsythe is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Cubs.

Forsythe has seen the bulk of the starts at the keystone in June, but that could be changing, as he will open on the bench Monday for the third time in four games. Max Muncy will play second base for the Dodgers on Tuesday night.
