Marte went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run Monday in the Diamondbacks' 13-8 win over the Phillies.

Marte struck early for his 16th long ball of the season, with his big fly coming in the middle of the Diamondbacks' back-to-back-back home runs off Jerad Eickhoff to kick off the top of the first inning. After adding two base hits later in the night for good measure, Marte's OPS now rests at .851, 82 points above his career-best mark from 2018.

Gimenez's X-rays on his right hand and wrist were negative Tuesday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Gimenez was hit by a pitch last week and was placed on the 7-day injured list, but he appears to have escaped serious injury. He posted a .232/.305/.333 slash line in 45 games for Double-A Binghamton prior to the injury.

Albies went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs in Monday's win over the Pirates.

The 22-year-old ended a 32-game homer drought in the third inning then went yard again in the seventh, leading the charge in a five-HR, 13-run eruption for the Atlanta offense. Albies is now slashing .269/.336/.435 on the year with nine home runs, four steals, 28 RBI and 39 runs through 66 contests.

Torres is out of the lineup for the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader with the Mets, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

Had Monday's game not been postponed, there's a good chance that Torres would be included in the lineup for both games of the Subway Series. Instead, with the rainout necessitating a twin bill Tuesday, Torres will get a breather for the afternoon contest, which should provide some extra maintenance for the sore shoulder that kept him out of the lineup for two games last week. Expect Torres to check back into the starting nine for the nightcap, with one of DJ LeMahieu, Gio Urshela or Didi Gregorius likely to head to the bench as a result.

The Mets will recall Guillorme from Triple-A Syracuse to serve as the 26th man for the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader with the Yankees, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

With Robinson Cano (quadriceps) recently rejoining Jed Lowrie (hamstring) on the injured list, the Mets aren't brimming with infield depth and will bring Guillorme aboard to provide an extra option off the bench. Guillorme will likely head back to Triple-A at the conclusion of the twin bill.

Lowe went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 6-2 win over Oakland.

Lowe's sixth-inning shot broke a scoreless tie that the Rays wouldn't concede. It was the third homer in two games for the AL Rookie of the Year candidate. The 24-year-old's OPS has jumped from .862 to .893 since the start of June as he continues to tear the cover off the ball.

Frazier is not in the lineup Monday against the Braves.

Frazier will give way to Colin Moran at the keystone for Monday's series opener following a string of three consecutive starts. Since the start of June, Frazier is slashing .286/.355/.500 with two doubles, two triples and a 2:4 BB:K in eight games.

Chavis is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Rangers, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

Chavis has been the Red Sox's primary first baseman of late while Mitch Moreland (quadriceps) and Steve Pearce (back) are both on the injured list. He'll get a rest Monday, with Sam Travis taking over at the position.

Semien, who went 1-for-4 with a two-run double, a walk and two runs in a win over the Rangers on Sunday, is 13-for-31 with two doubles, two home runs and nine RBI over his last seven games.

Semien's bat has been among the most lethal in the Athletics lineup in June, and his aforementioned hot streak has boosted his average 19 points to .272. The veteran shortstop is doing an excellent job out of the leadoff spot this season in terms of setting the table effectively, as his .359 on-base percentage easily ranks as the highest of his career.

Marte went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in an 8-2 victory against the Blue Jays on Sunday.

With this homer, Marte has already set a career high with his 15th homer, topping his previous high-water mark last season. As a result of all these home runs, Marte also owns a career-high .513 slugging percentage. He is batting .268 with 45 RBI, 39 runs and three steals in 261 at-bats this season.
