Farmer will start at first base and bat seventh in Thursday's game against the Phillies.

Farmer will make his fifth start in six games and his second in a row at first base. Though Farmer has gone 5-for-19 with two home runs and two doubles over his previous five games, his uptick in playing time seems to be mostly a result of first baseman Michael Toglia beginning to lose his grip on an everyday role rather than Farmer earning it. The 8-41 Rockies are already well removed from playoff contention and have more of a long-term investment in the 26-year-old Toglia, but his 41.7 percent strikeout rate in May has made it increasingly more difficult for interim manager Warren Schaeffer to let him work through his struggles.

Amador is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest against the Phillies.

It's a day off for Amador, who had started each of the previous six games. Aaron Schunk is handling second-base duties and batting eighth for the Rockies in the series finale.

Mauricio went 2-for-2 with two walks, a home run and two RBI for Triple-A Syracuse on Wednesday, his second straight game with a homer.

In three games since joining Syracuse's roster, Mauricio has gone 7-for-11 with a double, two steals and a 2:1 BB:K in addition to the two long balls. Given that the 24-year-old infielder missed the entire 2024 campaign while recovering from knee surgery, however, the Mets aren't going to rush him to the majors, Will Sammon of the Athletic reports. "Where we are right now is we have a player who is medically healthy, who has checked off a lot of the boxes in the rehab progression, has worked really hard to get there," Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns said last week. "And now we're working him back into [being] Ronny Mauricio, the baseball player who was on the verge, seemingly, of really breaking out at the major-league level. And that takes some time as well." New York also doesn't have a clear opening for Mauricio in the big-league lineup, and he has yet to play back-to-back nine-inning games on defense this year. Despite his hot start at Triple-A, a return to the majors isn't likely until some time in June at the earliest.

McLain went 0-for-3 in Wednesday's 3-1 loss to the Pirates.

McLain is 0-for-12 with seven strikeouts over the last four games. On May 13, manager Terry Francona dropped him from second in the order to the lower third, and McLain looked like he was breaking out of a season-opening slump while going 6-for-18, but the pendulum has swung back in the subsequent four contests. Both his strikeout (32.8) and whiff (31.0) percentages have increased relative to his rookie 2023 season. The good news is that McLain makes solid contact when he does hit the ball, with an 11.8 barrel percentage and 47.3 percent hard-hit rate.

Marte went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 3-1 loss to the Dodgers.

Marte whacked a no-doubter into the right-field stands at Dodger Stadium to give Arizona the lead in the fourth inning. It was his second home run in four games. Marte missed nearly a month with a hamstring injury, and there were timing issues initially upon his return in early May. However, the second baseman has rediscovered his swing, posting a .277/.393/.745 line with seven home runs and 10 RBI over the last 13 contests.

Gonzales (ankle) hasn't appeared in any rehab games for Triple-A Indianapolis since Sunday after being hit by a pitch on his right hand, Danny Demilio of PittsburghBaseballNow.com reports.

Gonzales was transferred to the 60-day injured list Tuesday, but the transaction seemingly wasn't reflective of any major concern about the hand issue being a significant concern for the 25-year-old infielder, who has been on the shelf since March 28 due to a non-displaced left ankle fracture. X-rays on Gonzales' hand came back negative, and he's expected to be reassessed Thursday before the Pirates decide whether the soreness and swelling in his hand has subsided enough for him to return to game action at Indianapolis. Given the length of his absence due to the ankle injury, Gonzales will likely need at least a few more games in the minors to stack up at-bats and regain his timing at the dish before the Pirates activate him. He's first eligible for reinstatement next Tuesday.

McNeil is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox.

Though he started the last time the Mets faced a lefty (Max Fried) in Sunday's 8-2 loss to the Yankees, McNeil will retreat to the bench for the series finale in Boston while southpaw Garrett Crochet toes the rubber for Boston. Luisangel Acuna will get the nod at second base and could continue to start over the left-handed-hitting McNeil more often than not when the Mets face southpaws.

Koss is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Koss had served as the Giants' primary second baseman through the first two weeks of May, but his starting opportunities are likely to be scarcer moving forward after Tyler Fitzgerald and Casey Schmitt were both activated from the injured list within the past few days. Fitzgerald will get the nod at the keystone Wednesday while Koss hits the bench for the fifth time in the last six games.

Sanoja is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs.

After starting in each of the last seven games, Sanoja will give up his spot in the middle infield to Graham Pauley, who gets the nod at second base while Otto Lopez slides over to shortstop. Sanoja had been seeing most of his action at the keystone to begin the month, but he'll likely receive most of his starts at shortstop until Xavier Edwards (back) returns from the injured list.

Estrada (wrist) took batting practice for a third straight day Tuesday, MLB.com reports.

Estrada progressed to facing velocity during Tuesday's batting practice as he continues to work his way back from a fractured right wrist. A rehab assignment for Estrada seems to be coming soon, with a return to the Rockies' active roster expected by around June 1.
