McNeil went 2-for-5 with a three-run homer in a 12-5 loss to the Yankees in the first game of a doubleheader Tuesday.

McNeil staked the Mets to a 4-1 lead in the third inning as he homered to right center with two men on. Since his return from the injured list June 4, McNeil has gone 9-for-25 and has raised his already-impressive slash line to .337/.411/.468 for the season.

Biggio is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against Baltimore.

Biggio has gone hitless in 10 of his 13 career major-league games. Eric Sogard starts at second base in his absence.

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.
