The Mets optioned Guillorme to Triple-A Syracuse on Wednesday.

He'll head down to the minors to clear room on the 26-man active roster for corner infielder Mark Vientos, who was called up from Triple-A. Guillorme is the Mets' best and most versatile defensive infielder, but his bat has been even weaker than usual this season and the floundering New York offense could benefit from the higher offensive upside that Vientos offers.

Marte is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.

Marte will get a breather with Arizona and Oakland getting together for a day game after Tuesday night's contest lasted 12 innings. Josh Rojas will slide over to second base and Emmanuel Rivera gets a start at third base while Marte heads to the bench.

Diaz is not in the starting lineup Wednesday versus the Diamondbacks.

Diaz has gone 2-for-22 with no RBI or runs scored since he went 3-for-4 with three homers versus the Yankees on May 9. He'll get a breather Wednesday and will be replaced at second base by Tony Kemp, who will bat eighth in the series finale with Arizona.

Dubon went 2-for-4 with two doubles and two runs scored in Tuesday's 7-3 win over the Cubs.

Dubon led off the game with a ground-rule double and came around to score on a wild pitch. Six frames later, he hit another two-bagger and tallied his second run. Despite the return of Chas McCormick, Dubon has remained the leadoff hitter for the Astros. He's earned that role, as he's in the midst of a seven-game hitting streak, during which he's hit .407 with two RBI and six runs scored.

Turang went 3-for-4 with a stolen base in Tuesday's win over the Cardinals.

Turang cranked out the first three-hit performance of his young professional career after garnering a rare start against a lefty (Jordan Montgomery). It was just his third start against a left-hander this season and it remains to be seen if his success Tuesday night will lead to more opportunities against southpaws. Turang has put together a nice month at the plate so far, slashing .325/.327/.425 with three homers, three RBI, five runs and a 3:12 BB:K over 43 plate appearances.

Marte went 3-for-7 with a stolen base and a run scored in Tuesday's 9-8 extra-innings loss to Oakland.

After a slow start to the season, Marte is seeing the ball better and has now hit safely in 12 of 14 games during the month of May (17-for-57). Along with that modest run, Marte has improved his on-base ability, walking eight times to fuel a .382 OBP.

Polanco is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Dodgers.

Polanco will get Tuesday off with Clayton Kershaw on the bump for the Dodgers on Tuesday. Donovan Solano is starting at second base and hitting in the leadoff spot in Polanco's absence.

Vargas is out of the lineup Tuesday against the Twins.

Mookie Betts will play second base and hit leadoff to facilitate a fully lefty-hitting outfield for Los Angeles. Vargas went 2-for-5 with a double in Monday's series opener versus Minnesota and boasts a .935 OPS over his last 48 plate appearances.

Massey is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Padres.

Massey has been excellent in May with a .343/.455/.571 slash line in 35 at-bats, but he'll get a night off against Seth Lugo and San Diego on Tuesday. Matt Duffy will start at second base and hit seventh.

Miami recalled Edwards from Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday.

Edwards will add some versatility to the Marlins' position-player mix with Jazz Chisholm (toe) facing at least a month-long absence. Edwards, 23, has batted .316/.431/.390 with zero homers and eight steals in 26 games this season at the Triple-A level. He stands 1-for-6 through three major-league games.
