Rosario went 3-for-9 with a solo home run, two additional runs scored and a stolen base across both games of Monday's doubleheader sweep of the Marlins.

The shortstop hit second in both games, and with Robinson Cano (hamstring) now out of the picture, Rosario could well remain in a prime spot in the batting order for the rest of the season. Monday's output gives him 12 homers and 14 steals on the year, and he's slashing a dazzling .360/.400/.562 in 23 games since the All-Star break.

Semien went 2-for-5 with two home runs and three RBI in the Athletics' 6-5 defeat to the Cubs on Monday.

Semien was the only member of the Oakland lineup who could solve Kyle Hendricks, as he launched a two-run blast in the third inning for his team's only hit of the day against the right-hander. He also added a solo shot in the eighth inning off Steve Cishek, giving him 19 long balls on the season. The 28-year-old shortstop is logging an excellent campaign at the dish, as he's now slashing .274/.362/.474 across 519 plate appearances.

McNeil was removed from the second game of Monday's doubleheader against Miami due to a right calf cramp, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

The Mets can breathe a sigh of relief, as McNeil appears to have avoided a significant injury. He figures to have a chance to return for Tuesday's matchup, though New York should provide an update on the 27-year-old's status following Monday's clash.

McNeil left Game 2 of Monday's doubleheader against the Marlins with an undisclosed injury, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

The team trainer came out to check on McNeil in left field during the third inning, and he was ultimately removed from the contest. He'll be considered day-to-day until the details surrounding his injury are revealed.

Torres (abdomen) will bat cleanup as the designated hitter Monday against Baltimore.

Torres appeared to be nearly a lock to miss Monday's game after being hospitalized with an unspecified core issue Sunday. He'll miss at least one game in the field but is evidently doing well enough to hit, a very positive sign for a Yankees team that has been hit with far more than its fair share of injuries thus far this season.

Diaz was called up as expected for his big-league debut Monday against the Mets, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

The 23-year-old earned the callup after hitting .305/.395/.578 with 26 homers for Triple-A New Orleans. Scouting reports project Diaz as a future average starter, with competent defense at second base along with above-average contact and average power, though the power he showed this season could suggest that he has the ceiling to be at least an above-average starter. He'll get the chance to jump straight into a key role for the Marlins, batting second and playing second base in his debut. He should earn a large share of the at-bats down the stretch, as Starlin Castro certainly hasn't done anything to keep himself in a starting role.

McNeil went 2-for-4 with a home run, double, walk, two RBI and three additional runs Sunday in the Mets' 13-2 triumph over the Pirates.

Despite nursing a sore right wrist heading into the weekend, McNeil looked no worse for the wear while appearing in all three games and starting twice. Across the three contests, McNeil went 5-for-10 with two home runs, two walks, three RBI and seven runs, lifting his season average to an NL-best .336. Though he's been working in the corner outfield lately, he'll likely see most of his action at second base for the foreseeable future after Robinson Cano (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday. McNeil will check in at the keystone and handle his usual leadoff duties in the first game of a doubleheader with the Marlins, per Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News.

The Mets recalled Guillorme from Triple-A Syracuse ahead of Monday's doubleheader with the Marlins.

He'll fill the active roster spot vacated by Robinson Cano (hamstring), who was placed on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. Cano's injury creates an opening in the everyday lineup at second base, but Jeff McNeil is the most logical candidate to shift back to the infield to fill the void, leaving Juan Lagares and Aaron Altherr to vie for a spot in the outfield alongside regulars Michael Conforto and J.D. Davis. Guillorme, meanwhile, is expected to serve as a lightly-used backup at the keystone, third base and shortstop, effectively keeping him off the fantasy radar.

Torres (abdomen) was discharged from the hospital late Sunday and traveled with the Yankees to Baltimore ahead of the team's series opener Monday versus the Orioles, Zach Braziller of the New York Post reports.

Torres became the latest victim of the Yankees' season-long injury epidemic in Sunday's 7-4 win over the Red Sox, exiting in the eighth inning with what manager Aaron Boone labeled as a "core issue." The Yankees immediately sent Torres to the hospital to undergo further testing, with the infielder's father, Eusebio, relaying via his personal Twitter account that his son checked out fine. While Torres may have avoided a significant injury, he'll likely be out of the lineup Monday and could be at risk of joining fellow everyday players Aaron Hicks (elbow), Luke Voit (abdomen), Gary Sanchez (groin), Edwin Encarnacion (wrist), Giancarlo Stanton (knee) and Miguel Andujar (shoulder) on the injured list. Expect the Yankees to provide an update on Torres' condition in the hours prior to Monday's contest.

Chavis went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's loss to the Yankees.

Chavis singled in the third inning to break an 0-for-11 cold snap, then torched J.A. Happ for a 435-foot blast in the fifth inning. The rookie is slashing .259/.327/.460 with 18 homers and 57 RBI in 361 plate appearances this season.
