Forsythe went 1-for-3 with a home run and a steal in Friday's 3-1 win over the Brewers.

It was just Forsythe's fourth long ball of the season and his first since July 6. The 30-year-old has failed to replicate last year's 20-homer output and his disappointing .241/.370/.335 slash line has been a sore sight in an otherwise dominating Dodgers lineup. Forsythe will have to turn things around quickly or run the risk of losing at-bats once Cody Bellinger (ankle) makes his return from the disabled list.

Solarte is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Marlins.

After driving in six runs Tuesday, Solarte has gone 0-for-8 over the Padres' last two outings. With Dusty Coleman starting at shortstop and hitting eighth, Solarte will head to the bench.

Marte went 1-for-2 with two walks, a stolen base and an RBI in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Mets.

Marte plated the Diamondbacks' second run of the afternoon on a fifth-inning sacrifice fly, giving him his first RBI in nine starts. Perhaps more surprising than Marte's extended run-producing drought was the fact that the stolen base he collected earlier in the contest was his first of the season, as the 23-year-old had been a regular threat to run during the minors and in his debut campaign of 2015 with the Mariners. Though he's not quite as active on the bases as he used to be, Marte has at least traded the lack of steals for more power, which has allowed him to settle into an everyday role with the Diamondbacks. Marte's .779 OPS on the campaign is 101 points above his career mark.

Rosario went 2-for-4 with an RBI triple and a solo homer in Tuesday's loss to Arizona.

The rookie shortstop hasn't taken too long to get acclimated to the majors -- after starting out just 5-for-31 (.161), he's since gone 14-for-43 (.326) with three homers and three steals over the last 12 games. Rosario has struck out a lot, but that's understandable for a 21-year-old in his first taste of the big leagues, and his minor-league numbers suggest we'll see his plate discipline improve with time. He makes for a fine play in deeper formats down the stretch.

Solarte went 3-for-5 with a home run, two doubles and six RBI during Tuesday's blowout win over the Cardinals.

Solarte roped a bases-clearing double in the third inning and added another RBI double in the fifth. He capped off the scoring with a towering 455-foot two-run blast in the eighth inning to notch his fifth and sixth RBI of the night. The 30-year-old has two home runs in his past three games and is on pace to set a single-season career high in home runs this season, though his slugging percentage is down from last year.

Forsythe is not in the lineup Monday against the Pirates, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

Forsythe is 0-for-7 over his last two games, so he'll head to the bench for a breather after starting five straight games. Chase Utley will take over for him at second base for the contest, batting eighth.

Drury went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, two doubles and two runs scored during Sunday's loss to Minnesota.

After losing out on playing time, Drury suited up for all three games during the series against Minnesota. Obviously, the ability to utilize a designated hitter opened additionally opportunities for Drury, but this showing should help him receive more starts moving forward. After all, he's now registered six extra-base hits through his past 21 at-bats. Still, he's far from a reliable fantasy option at this stage of the game.

Marte is out of Sunday's lineup against the Twins.

After going hitless in his last two games, Marte takes a seat in favor of Adam Rosales, who will play shortstop and hit ninth. Marte is hitting .320/.404/.420 over his last 50 at-bats and should continue to get the bulk of the starts at shortstop.

Tomlinson went 1-for-2 with three walks, a stolen base, an RBI and a run scored against the Phillies on Saturday.

The speedy infielder swiped his eighth base of the season and second in as many days. Tomlinson has collected a hit in all six of the games he has started in place of the injured Joe Panik (concussion), scoring six times over that span despite batting eighth in the order. Panik doesn't have a definitive timetable to return from his concussion, so Tomlinson should continue to provide value in the speed categories until he returns.

Solarte went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Nationals.

Saturday's home run was the veteran infielder's third since returning from the disabled list July 30. Solarte is just two homers shy of the career high mark of 15 he set in 2016 despite playing in just 90 games so far this season. He continues to provide modest fantasy value due to his multi-position eligibility and placement in the heart of the Padres' lineup.
