Beckham is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Phillies.

Beckham will get some rest a day after going 2-for-4 with two doubles, one walk, one RBI and three runs scored against the Twins. This was his one bright spot over the past seven days, as he has hit .136 over that stretch. Jace Peterson will get the start at second base in his place.

Green is in the lineup Wednesday against the Reds, Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

With Ramiro Pena being scratched from the lineup, Green will be at second base in the Giants' series finale against Cincinnati. Green is 10-for-39 with a home run in the month of July.

Hernandez (ribs) will have his rehab moved to Double-A Tulsa on Wednesday, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

He has logged two rehab games in the Arizona League and two rehab games in the California League and has now been transferred to a more challenging environment. There still isn't a specific timetable for his return, but an early-August activation seems likely at this point. Upon his activation he will return to a part-time role with the Dodgers.

The Padres placed Solarte on the Family Leave List on Wednesday.

It's not clear how long Solarte will be away from the team, but he will be gone for at least three days, and possibly up to seven. Alexi Amarista was recalled from Triple-A El Paso to take Solarte's place on the roster.

Herrera, who was scratched from Tuesday's lineup with Triple-A Las Vegas, could be recalled by the Mets after Jose Reyes suffered an intercostal strain during the doubleheader against the Cardinals, ESPN's Adam Rubin reports.

The 22-year-old second baseman is hitting .277/.331/.471 with 13 home runs in 346 at-bats in the Pacific Coast League. He would offer some short-term infield depth for the Mets if they choose to recall him Wednesday. It's not a lock that Herrera would see steady playing time in the short term, as he is strictly a second baseman and the Mets have seemed unwilling to try Neil Walker at third base.

Hernandez (ribs) will begin a rehab assignment with High-A Rancho Cucamonga on Tuesday, J.P. Hoornstra of the Southern California News Group reports.

A bout of left rib cage inflammation cost Hernandez nearly a month, but he's ready to return to action with the Dodgers' High-A affiliate, putting him on track for an early-August return to the big club. He will man center field in his first rehab game -- he made just four appearances there before hitting the DL (zero starts). Hernandez has played primarily in left field this season.

Frazier will get the start at second base and hit seventh for the Pirates on Tuesday.

Frazier, who has played 21 games with the Pirates, is making the most of his opportunity, hitting .359/.405/.590 in 39 at-bats. Frazier and the Pirates will host Felix Hernandez and the Mariners on Tuesday. If the 24-year-old can continue his success that has carried over from the minors, he could be a mainstay and get more starts for the Pirates as the season progresses.

Drury is out of the lineup Monday against the Brewers.

Rickie Weeks will get the start in left field and hit fifth Monday, while Drury appears to be getting just a routine day off. Drury has hit safely in six of his last seven games, ripping three doubles over that span, but he has not hit a home run since July 6.

Frazier, who hit his fourth homer in four professional seasons Sunday, has found a niche with Pittsburgh as a backup second baseman and outfielder over the last month.

The 2013 sixth-round draft pick has stuck with the team despite multiple roster moves since his recall June 24. Frazier, who primarily played shortstop in the minors -- where he's posted just a .942 career fielding percentage -- has increased his versatility with outfield experience. He holds a career .299/.363/.370 slash line in the minors and has the potential to help fantasy owners in batting average if he sees steady playing time.

Rickie Weeks will get the start in left field and hit fifth Monday, while Drury appears to be getting just a routine day off. Drury has hit safely in six of his last seven games, ripping three doubles over that span, but he has not hit a home run since July 6.
