Tomlinson was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

With Michael Morse landing on the concussion DL, Tomlinson was needed for reinforcements on the big-league bench. Not only can Tomlinson play all over the infield, but he has also been working on playing center field recently at Triple-A. He was hitting .290/.372/.346 with eight steals in 121 plate appearances at Triple-A.

Frazier is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Diamondbacks, Adam Berry of MLB.com reports.

Frazier will take a seat for the second day in a row as the Pirates decided to shift Josh Harrison to left field, opening up a spot for Gift Ngoepe to start at second base. There has been no indication of an injury, and given he played the last three innings in Monday's contest, it's likely manager Clint Hurdle is giving the 25-year-old a breather after an 0-for-14 skid over the last four games.

Rosario went 2-for-4 with a walk, a home run, three runs scored and three RBI for Triple-A Las Vegas in Monday's win over El Paso.

He's now hit safely in 16 straight games, posting a .356/.390/.589 slash line over that stretch with three homers, three steals, 17 RBI and 14 runs. Rosario is certainly being aided by his hitter-friendly home park, but regardless of venue the 21-year-old shortstop's performance this season at the highest level of the minor leagues has still been outstanding. The Mets avoided the temptation to promote their top prospect when Asdrubal Cabrera was on the DL with a thumb injury, but it seems only a matter of time before Rosario makes his big-league debut, particularly if the team remains out of the playoff picture and begins to trade away veterans in the second half.

Forsythe went 1-for-4 with his first home run of the season in Monday's win over St. Louis.

The homer was just Forsythe's second hit since returning from the disabled list May 23, indicating that he may finally be regaining his feel at the plate. Despite his recent slump, the veteran continues to lead off for a potent Dodgers offense. Make sure that he isn't sitting on the waiver wire, as he can provide excellent value as a middle infielder once his bat catches up to his career norms.

Arroyo returned to the lineup and went 1-for-3 with a double in Monday's loss to the Nationals.

Manager Bruce Bochy gave his young third baseman a couple of days off in hopes of breaking him out of his current slump (.111/.163/.156 over his last 12 games). Arroyo should resume his regular role at the hot corner, but he needs to show more life at the plate before fantasy owners can count on him.

Frazier is not in the lineup Monday against the Diamondbacks, Adam Berry of MLB.com reports.

After starting each of the last nine games, Frazier is just getting a day of rest. John Jaso will draw the start in left field in his place, batting fifth.

Drury went 3-for-3 with a run and an RBI in Sunday's 9-5 loss to Milwaukee.

Drury didn't exactly blister the ball. Two of his hits were of the infield variety, while his third hit was a shallow fly to right. He added a sacrifice fly in the eighth inning to continue an Arizona rally as well. With the perfect day at the plate, Drury now finds his average at .299, thanks in part to a lofty .372 BABIP.

Sweeney was traded to the Reds on Sunday in exchange for future considerations, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

The utility man hasn't seen any big-league action in the last two years after hitting just .176 across 85 at-bats with Philadelphia in 2015. Sweeney will likely report to Triple-A Louisville, where he'll be looking to improve upon the .227 average, 15 RBI and seven stolen bases he put up in 38 games with Triple-A Oklahoma City this season.

As expected, Arroyo is out of the lineup Sunday against the Braves, Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Arroyo sat out Saturday as well, and manager Bruce Bochy later announced that the infielder was receiving scheduled days off. That break will continue into Sunday, when Eduardo Nunez will draw the start at first base.

Manager Bruce Bochy said Arroyo will get at least two days off, Alec Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Arroyo has endured a tough month at the plate thus far -- slashing just .180/.245/.258 across 24 games (98 plate appearances) -- prompting Bochy to give the youngster at least a couple days to catch his breath, clear his mind and work on some things. Look for Arroyo to rejoin the Giants lineup for Monday's series opener against the Nationals.
