Guillorme went 2-for-3 with three walks, two runs scored and an RBI in Friday's win over the A's.

Getting the start at second base and hitting eighth, Guillorme was one of four Mets to reach base at least four times on a night when the team scored 17 runs on 11 hits and a stunning 17 walks. The utility infielder has seen action in nine games so far this season, batting .273 (6-for-22) with one RBI and four runs, but he's still looking for his first extra-base hit or first steal.

Garcia went 2-for-3 with two walks and a solo home run in Friday's loss to the Guardians.

His fourth-inning long ball off Cal Quantrill was Garcia's first of the season. The 22-year-old just returned from a four-game absence due to a hamstring injury, and he'll look to build some momentum at the plate after batting .226 (7-for-31) through his first nine games this season.

Rojas started at designated hitter and went 1-for-4 in Friday's 5-1 loss to Miami.

Rojas was in the starting lineup for the second time this season against a lefty (Trevor Rogers). Kyle Lewis (illness) opened the season as the DH against southpaws, but he remains out, so manager Torey Lovullo opted for Rojas, who entered the contest with a .412 average and 1.006 OPS.

Estrada went 3-for-5 with a walk, a double, a solo home run and a second run scored in Friday's 7-5 extra-innings loss to the Tigers.

Getting the start in left field for the banged-up Giants, Estrada led off the game with his third homer of the season, crushing a 3-2 fastball from Joey Wentz over the wall in center field. Estrada has gone yard in back-to-back games and has produced multi-hit performances in six of 12 contests so far, leading to a .370/.420/.630 slash line that also features six RBI, nine runs and two stolen bases.

Gorman went 3-for-4 with two RBI in Friday's 3-0 win over the Pirates.

Gorman had a pair of RBI singles, providing the Cardinals' first and last runs of the game. The 22-year-old is still hitting excellently to begin 2023, though this was just his third multi-hit effort. He's up to a .333/.447/.692 slash line with four home runs, 12 RBI, five runs scored and a stolen base through 47 plate appearances.

Turang isn't in the Brewers' lineup Friday against San Diego, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Turang holds just a .444 OPS over his last five games, so the Brewers will give him the day off and start Owen Miller in his place at second base.

Estrada is batting leadoff for a second straight game Friday against the Tigers. He's hit leadoff in four of his last five starts, all versus lefties.

Estrada is also making his first start in left field. The dynamic 27-year-old went 2-for-4 with a homer and a walk during his last turn at leadoff Wednesday versus the Dodgers. He boasts a .341./386/.537 slash line through 44 plate appearances coming off his mini breakout in 2022. Southpaw Joey Wentz is on the mound for Detroit on Friday.

Arraez will sit Friday against the Diamondbacks, Craig Mish of the Miami Herald reports.

Arraez will get a breather after he continued his torrid start to the season in the Marlins' series against Philadelphia, going 7-for-12 with four extra-base hits, two RBI and three runs scored over the team's three contests. Garrett Hampson will start at second base and bat ninth versus Arizona.

Gormand went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Thursday's 5-0 loss to the Pirates.

The Cardinals couldn't get much going in the contest, but Gorman and Willson Contreras tried to provide a spark with a double-steal in the forth inning. Gorman's more of a slugger -- this was his first attempt on the basepaths this season, and he's matched his total in stolen bases from 89 games last year. The 22-year-old has done well with the bat, slashing .286/.419/.686 with four home runs, 10 RBI and five runs scored over 11 contests.

Stott is batting leadoff and starting at second base Thursday against the Reds.

He batted eighth against Marlins lefty Jesus Luzardo on Tuesday but is hitting atop the order Thursday versus the Reds and Nick Lodolo. Stott has quickly taken on a prominent role this year for the defending NL champions while slashing .420/.431/.500 with three stolen bases across his first 12 games. He's hit leadoff in three of the last four, with Trea Turner occupying the No. 2 hole.
