Albies went 3-for-3 with two walks, a home run, three runs scored, two RBI and a stolen base in Triple-A Gwinnett's win over Norfolk on Tuesday.

After a rough stretch in late April and early May the 20-year-old has begun to heat up again, hitting .316 (12-for-38) over his last 10 games. More impressively, Triple-A catchers are having no luck containing him on the basepaths, as Albies has stolen a base in four straight games and now has 13 steals on 14 attempts through 36 games. The Braves' No. 3 prospect stole 30 bases across two levels last year and 29 bases in 2015 for Low-A Rome, but he seems intent on blowing past those marks this season with Gwinnett.

Frazier went 2-for-5 with an RBI single Tuesday against the Nationals.

He has six hits in 16 at-bats since returning from a hamstring injury. Frazier has batted leadoff and played left field in each of his three starts and also saw time in center field Tuesday. With a .323 batting average in 65 at-bats, Frazier is the only regular hitting better than .300.

Dubon, 22, is slashing .305/.355/.390 across 170 plate appearances with Double-A Biloxi this season.

With only nine extra-base hits on the season, the six-foot, 160-pound Dubon has yet to tap into much power, but the shortstop is excelling in just about every other phase of the game. He's batting .367 in May and leads the Southern League with 47 hits and 21 bases on the campaign. In a deep Brewers farm system, Dubon seems to have cemented himself as the top middle-infield prospect in the upper minors, but there's little incentive to rush him to the big leagues with Jonathan Villar and Orlando Arcia representing a capable up-the-middle tandem for Milwaukee.

Rosario is not being considered for a call-up despite the thumb injury suffered by Mets starting shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera, Marc Carig of Newsday reports.

Rosario is raking at Triple-A Las Vegas, as he owns a .359/.401/.493 batting line with 14 extra-base hits. Don't expect Rosario to be called up to New York until June at the earliest, as the Mets clearly want to limit his service time in order to keep him under team control for as long as possible.

Herrera is hitting just .231/.278/.359 with three homers in 129 plate appearances at Triple-A Louisville. He's also 0-for-3 in stolen base attempts.

As much as Jose Peraza has struggled, Herrera has done nothing to convince the Reds to promote him. In fact, Scooter Gennett is a far greater threat to Peraza's playing time than Herrera.

Solarte is not in the lineup Monday against the Brewers.

Solarte will head to the bench for the first time all season as Cory Spangenberg draws the start at second base in his stead. The 29-year-old is slashing .237/.316/.338 through 39 games this season.

Drury is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.

Drury is on a tear at the plate recently, collecting nine hits in his previous 20 at-bats, raising his season average to .322. Despite the hot stretch, the Diamondbacks will give the young second baseman the day off Sunday against Ivan Nova and the Pirates. Chris Owings will take over at second base in Drury's absence.

Forsythe (toe) is expected to play in a rehab game as the designated hitter Tuesday, David Vassegh of AM570 Los Angeles reports.

Forsythe will give it another go after his first attempt at a rehab assignment was cut short by a tight hamstring. A fractured toe on his right foot landed Forsythe on the DL in mid-April. It's uncertain when he may return to the keystone, but Forsythe should reclaim primary duties at second base upon his eventual activation.

Arroyo is not starting Saturday's game against the Reds, Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

The rookie will sit out of Saturday's outing against the Reds, as the Giants are opting to start Kelby Tomlinson at third base. Arroyo is slashing .236/.286/.389 over 18 games this season.

Frazier grounded out in a pinch-hitting role Friday against the Diamondbacks.

Jose Osuna got the nod over Frazier in left field, even though the left-handed Frazier hits lefties better than righties (albeit with less power than Osuna). The appearance was his first since he injured his hamstring April 22. Chances are good that he'll crack the starting lineup Saturday against Taijuan Walker.
