Frazier went 2-for-4 with a walkoff single against the Cardinals on Sunday.

Following a month-long scuffle, Frazier has six hits in 12 at-bats since the All-Star break. He'll lose most of his playing time in left field when Starling Marte (suspension) returns Tuesday, but Frazier could move back and forth between second base and third -- especially with Josh Harrison currently struggling -- now that it looks like he's once again found his hitting stroke.

Hernandez went 0-for-2 with a pair of walks in Sunday's win over the Marlins.

The super-utility man has fallen back into his usual platoon role after seeing a stretch of regular playing time filling in for injured starters in June. Hernandez owns a pedestrian .211/.309/.442 line this season, but his splits against southpaws (.244/.343/.593) make him an intriguing option in daily formats when a lefty starter is scheduled to take on the Dodgers.

Drury is out of the lineup Sunday against the Braves.

Drury will head to the bench for the first time in the second half, allowing Chris Owings to start at second while Ketel Marte gets the nod at shortstop. It's been an average month of July for the infielder, who is 8-for-31 at the plate with just two RBI.

Forsythe had a well-rounded stat line Saturday, going 1-for-3 with a double, a walk, an RBI and a run scored in a win over Miami.

The veteran second baseman was showing life at the plate in 20 games leading up to the All-Star break (.333 with two home runs and 10 RBI), and he will look to carry that momentum into the second half after struggling for the majority of the season. He is being used in an everyday role at the moment, but with Adrian Gonzalez (back) beginning to ramp up his activity, Forsythe will have to improve on his pedestrian .245/.363/.342 slash line in the coming weeks or he may run the risk of losing playing time to Chris Taylor at second when the Dodgers' offense is at full health.

Frazier went 3-for-5 with a double against the Cardinals on Friday.

He snapped an 0-for-25 skid with his performance Friday. Frazier will likely lose playing time when Starling Marte (suspension) returns Tuesday, as the utility man becomes more of a matchup option off the bench than an everyday starter. Frazier began the season batting .370/.458/.500 in 107 plate appearances, so there's reason to believe he'll turn things around. That said, he'll probably have to wait for another injury, trade or suspension before he finds consistent playing time.

Tomlinson has a .267/.325/.307 slash line with four stolen bases in 75 at-bats this season.

The 27-year-old excelled in a similar role the past two seasons, but has had a tougher time in 2017, especially against lefties (.233/.333/.233). Tomlinson provides positional versatility and has spent time at second and third base, shortstop and left field this season, but starts far too infrequently to be a reliable option in standard formats.

Rosario could be called up on Aug. 1, after the Mets have presumably traded their walk-year veterans at the trade deadline, Ken Davidoff of the New York Post reports.

This is speculation on Davidoff's part, but it makes sense. Jay Bruce, Curtis Granderson, Asdrubal Cabrera, Jose Reyes and Lucas Duda are all set to become free agents after the season, so the Mets could wind up opening up a handful of 25-man roster spots in the span of a couple days at the end of July. Rosario, 21, is hitting .327/.365/.474 with seven home runs and 16 steals in 375 plate appearances at Triple-A Las Vegas. He is striking out just 15.5 percent of the time, so making contact should not be a major issue for him. Rosario has the potential to offer a solid batting average and a handful of steals in his first two months against big-league pitching.

Drury is out of Sunday's lineup against the Reds.

He will start the final game of the first half on the bench, with Ketel Marte starting at shortstop and Chris Owings sliding over to second base. With Marte's recent promotion, Drury seems to be in line for slightly less playing time in the second half.

Solarte (oblique) will likely embark on a rehab assignment shortly after the All-Star break, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

He has begun taking swings from the left side of the plate, and will not be ready to come off the DL for the start of the second half, contrary to a previous report. Assuming he does go on a rehab assignment next weekend, he could be back before the end of July.

Herrera is hitting .261/.310/.393 with seven home runs and 60 strikeouts in 64 games for Triple-A Louisville.

He was placed on the DL with a concussion for the final week of June, but returned July 1 and is 10-for-28 with one home run since being activated. With Scooter Gennett's emergence as a quality option, Herrera's ascension to the Reds' big-league roster does not appear imminent.
