Altuve went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Indians.

Altuve has responded to his first bout of adversity this season splendidly. After going 16 at-bats without a hit, the second baseman has hit safely in six straight games, going 9-for-23 with three doubles and three RBI during the run. The reigning AL MVP maintains a good average and on-base percentage, but a perplexing drop in power -- just two home runs over 48 games -- has left fantasy owners wanting more.

Rosario went 2-for-3 with two home runs, two RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's matchup against the Diamondbacks.

The 22-year-old shortstop went deep in both the sixth and seventh inning of Sunday's game for his first two home runs of the season. Through 40 games this season, Rosario has put together a .248/.273/.368 batting line and has driven in 14 runs. The Mets begin a three-game set with the Marlins on Monday.

Semien went 2-for-4 with a home run, three RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 9-2 win over the Blue Jays.

Semien went deep for the fifth time this season in the fifth inning, launching a two-run home run against Danny Barnes. Following Sunday's stellar performance, the 27-year-old shortstop is slashing .276/.323/.404 and has driven in 23 runs through 47 games. He'll look to keep hitting at a similar clip moving forward, as the Athletics begin a three-game series with the Mariners on Tuesday.

Solarte went 2-for-4 with a home run, two RBI and a run scored in Sunday's loss to the Athletics.

Solarte accounted for the entire Toronto offense during Sunday's matchup, blasting a two-run home run in the bottom of the ninth. He's slashing .260/.327/.480 through 45 games this season and has shown substantial power, hitting 10 home runs along with driving in 29 runs. The 30-year-old second baseman will look to keep it rolling in Tuesday's series opener against the Angels.

Hernandez went 1-for-2 with a home run, two walks, two RBI and two runs scored Sunday against the Nationals.

Hernandez got his first start since Thursday and took advantage by hitting his sixth home run of the season, one that gave the Dodgers a 3-2 lead. The return of Justin Turner and Logan Forsythe has crowded the Dodgers' infield and caused Hernandez to lose at-bats. Moving forward, he figures to see most of his at-bats come with left-handed pitchers on the mound, and he will fill in all over the field defensively.

Marte is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.

We may see this more often in the days and weeks ahead with Jake Lamb supplanting Daniel Descalso at third base. Descalso has been one of the team's most consistent hitters to this point, so he will continue to play, seemingly at Marte's expense. Marte is batting just .218/.317/.273 in May.

Haggerty (undisclosed) was activatedfrom the minor-league 7-day disabled list Sunday.

Haggerty will return to the Double-A Akron roster after a month-long absence. The infielder held a .188 average through 40 plate appearances prior to his placement on the DL.

Torres went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer Saturday against the Royals.

Torres connected on his fourth home run of the season, this one coming off left-hander Danny Duffy in the third inning. He has now reached base at least once in nine of his last 10 games, producing three home runs, seven RBI, and six runs scored in that stretch. He's hit an impressive .325/.384/.519 through the first 77 at-bats of his career at the major-league level.

Forsythe is out of the lineup for Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Nationals, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Forsythe will continue the trend of not starting in consecutive games since coming off the disabled list Tuesday. Chase Utley will bat sixth and start at second base as Washington sends Max Scherzer to the mound.

Frazier is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Padres.

Frazier will head to the bench for the third time in the last four games as lefty Clayton Richard takes the hill for San Diego. Sean Rodriguez starts at second base and is batting leadoff for the Bucs.
