Frazier hit a pinch solo homer Sunday against the Phillies.

Frazier's first homer of the year broke a 4-4 tie, providing the Pirates with the winning run. The part-timer is now slashing .359/.405/.590 in 40 at-bats since joining the major league roster on June 24.

Beckham is out of the lineup Sunday against the Rockies.

Beckham has started three straight games at second base and five of the last six overall, but he'll get the day off in favor of Jace Peterson at the keystone on Sunday afternoon.

Solarte went 3-for-4 with a double and his 10th homer of the season Thursday against the Cardinals.

It's hard not to be surprised and impressed by what Solarte's been able to do this year, as he's turned in remarkable stats when healthy. He's hit safely in 21 of his last 24 games, with seven multi-hit efforts in that span. The Padres' offense is limited in capability, but the Solarte-Wil Myers-Matt Kemp trio is doing what it can.

Beckham is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds, according to Kevin McAlpin of the Braves' Radio Network.

Beckham homered in Tuesday's game and started six of the last eight games at second base, but he will be held out Wednesday in favor of the left-handed Jace Peterson with righty Anthony DeSclafani on the mound for the opponent.

Beckham went 2-for-5 with a two-run homer in Tuesday's win over the Reds.

Beckham emerged from a deep slump by hitting a tie-breaking blast in the seventh inning to give the Braves a 4-2 lead. The second baseman broke his 0-for-16 skid with a single in the first, and then connected off reliever Michael Lorenzen for his fourth homer of the year, and first since July 9. Even with his weak output of late, Beckham is still slashing .262/.354/.429, all of which significantly exceed his seven-year career averages.

Frazier went 3-for-6 with two walks, three doubles and a run scored in Sunday's 18-inning win over the Nationals.

He got the start at second base but moved to right field in the seventh inning as part of a double-switch. Frazier has been outstanding off the Pirates' bench since his promotion, hitting .355/.412/.548 in 31 at-bats, but so far he hasn't gotten enough playing time to have value outside of deeper formats.

Drury went 1-for-4 with a game-winning RBI single in the 12th inning against the Dodgers on Saturday.

He picked a good time for his only hit of the game, going the opposite way off Dodgers righty Casey Fien to plate Jake Lamb as the winning run. Drury is now slashing .268/.307/.441 and getting regular playing time in the corner outfield spots for the Diamondbacks.

Beckham is out of the lineup Sunday against the Rockies.

Since returning to action prior to the All-Star break, Beckham has started five of the last six contests overall for the Braves, primarily at second base. It will be Jace Peterson that gets the starting nod at the keystone Sunday, batting leadoff in the order.

Drury is out of Friday's lineup against the Dodgers.

It appears the Diamondbacks wanted to load up the lineup with lefties Friday against righty Bud Norris, even though Drury had started the last seven games before the All-Star break. He notched eight hits and five of the extra-base variety over that stretch, and figures to be in the lineup most days going forward. Chris Herrmann will start in left field and hit sixth Friday.

Tomlinson (thumb) completed his rehab assignment and was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday, Alex Pavlovic of CSN Bay Area reports.

Tomlinson slashed .121/.171/.152 over 33 at-bats during his rehab assignment at the Triple-A level. Due to his poor performance he'll stay in the minors while he adjusts his swing.
