Gorman was promoted to Triple-A Memphis from Double-A Springfield on Monday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

The 21-year-old appeared in 43 games for Springfield and earned the promotion by slashing .288/.354/.508 with 11 homers, 27 RBI, four stolen bases and 26 runs. His 26.7 percent strikeout rate at Double-A was his best mark above rookie ball, and if he can maintain a similar contact rate against Triple-A pitching, it's possible we could see him in the majors later this summer.

Marte was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left hamstring strain Monday, retroactive to June 27.

Marte underwent imaging Monday after he aggravated his hamstring injury Saturday, and he's been diagnosed with a strain. It's not yet clear when the 27-year-old will be cleared to return to game action, but Tim Locastro and Pavin Smith could see increased time in center field in his absence.

Frazier isn't starting Monday against the Rockies, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

Frazier went 3-for-4 with a pair of runs and a walk in Sunday's win over the Cardinals, and he'll get a rare day off in Monday's series opener. Kevin Newman will shift to second base while Erik Gonzalez starts at shortstop.

Lux went 1-for-3 with a run scored, a walk and a stolen base in Sunday's 7-1 win over the Cubs.

Lux walked in the second inning and scored on Zach McKinstry's grand slam. Also, he stole second base in the fifth inning for his second steal of the season. Prior to Sunday, Lux was hitless in his last seven games. This season, he is slashing .230/.312/.361 with six home runs, 32 RBI and 34 runs in 260 plate appearances.

Gonzales went 1-for-4 with his fourth homer and two RBI on Sunday for High-A Greensboro.

Gonzales, who also homered Saturday in his return from the IL list, played this weekend for the first time since fracturing his right pinky finger May 19. The 22-year-old likely needs only experience and good health to become an impact player for the Pirates. It wouldn't be surprising to see Gonzales promoted -- along with fellow infielder Liover Peguero -- to Double-A before summer's end.

Marte will undergo imaging on his hamstring Monday, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

Marte aggravated his hamstring injury Saturday following a two-game absence, and he was held out of the lineup Sunday. The 27-year-old didn't appear off the bench, and his tests Monday could help determine the extent of his injury.

Marte (hamstring) is out of the lineup Sunday against the Padres.

Marte returned from a two-game absence Saturday but exited the contest early after aggravating the hamstring injury. It's unclear if the 27-year-old will be available off the bench Sunday. Pavin Smith will shift to center field while Josh Reddick starts in right.

Kim (finger) is starting at third base and batting seventh Sunday versus Arizona, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

The 25-year-old has been nursing a finger injury throughout the week and will start for the first time in four games, though he appeared off the bench in each contest. Kim has found success in June, going 9-for-32 with two homers, a double, five RBI, three runs and a stolen base in 18 games.

Marte exited Saturday's game against the Padres in the first inning after appearing to aggravate the hamstring issue that sidelined him for the previous two games, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports. Josh Reddick replaced him as a pinch runner.

Marte initially tweaked his hamstring during Tuesday's game against Milwaukee. He did not play Wednesday or Friday, but felt good enough to give it a go Saturday. The outfielder singled in his first-inning at-bat, so he likely aggravated his hamstring while running to first base. The Diamondbacks figure to provide additional updates later Saturday.

Marte (hamstring) is back in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against San Diego.

Marte exited Tuesday's game against the Brewers with left hamstring tightness. The issue appears to have subsided, as he'll bat second and man center field Saturday night. Marte tallied six hits in his last nine at-bats prior to his Tuesday departure.
