Drury went 4-for-6 with a double, six RBI and a run in Wednesday's 16-5 win at Colorado.

After going 0-for-4 in the series opener, Drury bounced right back and got a big chunk of the action in this classic Coors Field game. Over his last 10 contests, Drury's gone 16-for-37 (.432) with three homers and 14 RBI, and that hitting in combination with his multi-position eligibility makes him worthy of a roster spot in just about any format.

Forsythe went 2-for-5 with a walk, an RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 12-0 win over the Mets.

The veteran infielder was mired in a 8-for-66 slump since returning from the disabled list May 23, but he appears to be trending in the right direction with two consecutive multi-hit games. Forsythe is performing well under his career averages, so he could be worth a look in the event he was given up on following his injury and lengthy slump, especially if he continues to bat leadoff -- like he did Tuesday -- for a high-powered Dodgers lineup.

Tomlinson went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Tuesday's win over the Braves.

The 27-year-old filled in for Eduardo Nunez at the hot corner after the veteran aggravated his hamstring injury. If the latter is forced to miss more time or go on the disabled list, Tomlinson and his .294 batting average could start in the interim. The utility infielder doesn't bring much power to the table (.364 slugging percentage in 369 plate appearances), but his ability to hit for average and steal bases as a middle infielder has a place in fantasy if he were to ever earn a regular role.

Rodgers was promoted to Double-A Hartford following Tuesday's California League All-Star Game, Hudson Belinsky of Baseball America reports.

Rodgers is coming off a scorching first half of the season with High-A Lancaster, where he hit .400/.419/.700 with 12 home runs and two stolen bases to earn a start in Tuesday's All-Star Game. The Rockies' No. 1 prospect will continue his tour in the minors at Hartford, where he will once again benefit from a hitter-friendly ballpark.

Franklin went 2-for-3 with a double, a homer and two RBI in Tuesday's loss to Pittsburgh.

He doesn't play much and he's still hitting under the Mendoza Line, so Franklin's certainly fallen a long way since his days of being a highly regarded prospect. Expect Franklin to continue coming off the bench and seeing minimal at-bats unless injuries hit the Brewers' infield hard.

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

Solarte suffered the injury while taking a right-handed swing during pre-game warmups. The timing of this injury couldn't have come at a more inopportune time, as Solarte has been one of the hottest hitters in the majors over the past few weeks. He'll likely be placed on the disabled list Wednesday with Ryan Schimpf or Carlos Asuaje being recalled from Triple-A El Paso to fill the void in the infield.

Solarte was removed from Tuesday's game against the Cubs due to a strained left oblique.

Solarte was listed as the starting second baseman ahead of Tuesday's game but did not head on to the field in the top of the first inning. It's possible that he sustained the oblique injury during warmups, which would explain why Chase d'Arnaud started the game at the keystone. It sounds as if Solarte will be headed to the disabled list.

Frazier went 1-for-4 with two RBI and a walk Monday in Milwaukee.

The 25-year-old was batting .184/.250/.237 in his last 84 plate appearances prior to Monday. Frazier has walked in each of his last five games after totaling two walks in 17 previous contests, showing signs of a rebound. He continues to bat leadoff and start in left field -- he's seen action at second base only three times in 34 games since April -- but that could change when Starling Marte returns from suspension in late July.

Solarte went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a double during Monday's loss to the Cubs.

Solarte entered the game with an impressive 1.017 OPS, seven homers, 19 RBI and 13 runs through his previous 25 games, and he only improved on those marks with Monday's strong showing. While locked in at the dish, he's a serviceable fantasy asset in the majority of fantasy settings, but just don't expect Solarte to maintain his current pace over the long haul.

Forsythe is not in the lineup Monday against the Mets.

Despite going 2-for-5 with a two-run homer in Sunday's win over the Reds, Forysthe will head to the bench for a breather. Chase Utley will step in at second base for the contest.
