Drury is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Phillies.

Drury went just 1-for-11 (.091) over the first three games of the series, so he'll get a breather for Monday's series finale. Chris Owings is starting at the keystone in his place, opening up a spot for Nick Ahmed to slide into the lineup at shortstop.

Franklin exited Friday's game against Atlanta with hamstring tightness, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports.

Franklin slipped trying to exit the slick batters box in Atlanta and appeared to tweak his hamstring. The severity of the injury is unclear, but Franklin had only started once in the past week anyway, so don't expect him to make a swift return to the Milwaukee lineup.

Solarte was placed on the 10-day disabled list with a left oblique strain, Dennis Lin of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

As expected, Solarte was shifted to the disabled list after injuring his oblique while taking a swing during pre-game warmups Wednesday. It's unclear how long the injury will keep him out, but it could be an extended absence as oblique injuries tend to linger. This is a tough blow for the Padres, as Solarte was slashing a sizzling .370/.463/.783 with six homers and a 5:7 K:BB over his last 13 contests. Carlos Asuaje was recalled from Triple-A to take his place on the roster.

Herrera (concussion) has been placed on Triple-A Louisville's DL, the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

As always with concussions, there's no return date set in stone yet. As mentioned by Enquirer writer Zach Buchanan, Herrera is out of options after this season, so if he can recover from this concussion look for him to get more than a September callup, just so that the Reds can get a better idea of whether to keep him on the 40-man roster.

Ngoepe was placed on the 7-day minor-league disabled list Thursday with a left hamstring strain.

It's unclear how long the injury will keep Ngoepe sidelined at this point, but he'll be eligible to return June 30 if he is ready. The 27-year-old has struggled since returning to Triple-A Indianapolis from the Pirates at the beginning of June; he's slashing .193/.281/.333 in 16 games (64 plate appearances).

Drury is out of the lineup during Thursday's matchup with Colorado.

After going 4-for-6 with six RBI in Wednesday's thrashing of the Rockies, Drury will take a seat while Chris Owings takes his place manning the keystone. Drury is likely to be back in the lineup for Friday's series opener against the Phillies.

Frazier is out of the lineup for Thursday's afternoon game against Milwaukee, Stephen J. Nesbitt of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

After coming off a three-hit performance Wednesday night and hitting safely in six of his last seven games, Frazier will get a rest day for the getaway game before Pittsburgh heads to St. Louis for a weekend series. John Jaso will play left field and bat leadoff in his place.

Urias is batting .313/.415/.421 with two homers, 21 RBI, five stolen bases and a 43:37 BB:K through 67 games with Double-A San Antonio this season.

He missed a couple starts recently after being hit by a pitch on the elbow, but Urias has picked up right where he left off, going 6-for-20 with a couple walks in five games since returning to action. Urias' approach and plate discipline are highly advanced for his age -- he just turned 20 earlier this month -- and there is real thump in his bat, even if it's yet to translate to game action. He should be treated as a hot commodity in dynasty leagues.

Herrera is in concussion protocol after colliding with a teammate during Wednesday's game, Zach Buchanan of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

At this point in time, there has not been word on whether Herrera did indeed suffer a concussion but the 23-year-old is following the concussion policy and should be considered day-to-day for the time being. Herrera has hit .248/.301/.383 during his time with Triple-A Louisville this season, adding six home runs and 35 RBI.

Frazier went 3-for-5 with two doubles and two runs scored in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Brewers.

The 25-year-old has had trouble sustaining any momentum at the plate recently, but he still has a solid .283/.353/.391 slash line over his last 11 games with eight runs, five RBI and three steals. As long as Frazier continues to hit at the top of the Pirates' batting order, he'll have fantasy value in deeper formats.
