Gimenez went 3-for-3 with a double, three runs and one stolen base in Sunday's win against the Marlins.

Gimenez has now started five of the last six games while helping to fill in for Robinson Cano (groin), but Sunday's performance was his most productive of his young major-league career as he scored three of the Mets' four runs. The 21-year-old is hitting .333 with two extra-base hits, five runs and three stolen bases over 14 games this season.

Dubon is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers, Amy Gutierrez of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Dubon cracked the lineup in each of the team's last three games, but since the Giants faced left-handed starters in all of those contests, the 26-year-old looks to be stuck in a short-side platoon role. As one of the younger players on the 30-man roster, Dubon should see his playing time increase as the season wears on, assuming the 7-9 Giants fade from the playoff picture.

Guillorme is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.

Guillorme has made one start in the Mets' first 16 games and doesn't look set to benefit from Robinson Cano's (groin) recent move to the injured list. Instead, youngster Andres Gimenez looks in line to see the bulk of the action at the keystone while Cano is sidelined.

Gimenez will start at second base and bat eighth Sunday against the Marlins.

He'll enter the starting nine for the fifth time in six games, with his last two turns coming at the keystone. Based on his uptick in usage of late, the 21-year-old looks like set to serve as the primary replacement for Robinson Cano (groin), who was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday. Gimenez possesses good speed and decent contact skills, but his lack of power and low placement in the Mets lineup limit his overall fantasy upside.

Forsythe is out of the lineup Sunday against the Mets, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Forsythe has started four of six games and is 3-for-13 with a home run since joining the Marlins, but he'll head to the bench Sunday. The veteran infielder has already seen time at first base, second base and designated hitter with Miami still missing much of their Opening Day roster.

Forsythe went 1-for-2 with two walks and a solo home run in Saturday's 8-4 loss to the Mets.

Forsythe has been a regular in the Marlins' lineup since they resumed play, filling in at first base, second base and DH in the last three days. He will continue to help out around the diamond while batting near the bottom of the order with a large portion of the team's Opening Day roster currently unavailable.

Frazier went 2-for-6 with a two-run home run and a second run scored in Friday's 17-13 extra-innings loss to the Tigers.

His second homer of the season couldn't have been more timely -- with the Bucs down to their final strike, Frazier slammed a fastball from Tigers closer Joe Jimenez over the wall deep in right-center field to tie the score. This was Frazier's first multi-hit performance of the season, however, and through 13 games he's slashing just .170/.241/.302.

Hernandez is not in the lineup Friday against the Giants, Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Hernandez started each of the Dodgers' first five games but has since started just four of the last nine. Chris Taylor will be the second baseman Friday.

Rosario (quadriceps) will bat ninth as the shortstop in Friday's game against Miami.

Rosario left Monday's game against Atlanta with a tight left quad and sat out the Mets' following two games, but he's been cleared to play Friday. He'll be looking to improve on a slow start to the season which has seen him post a .610 OPS through his first 10 games.

McNeil (back) will bat second and play left field Friday against the Marlins.

McNeil was scratched Monday with lower-back tightness and later diagnosed with an intercostal strain. He's good to go now after a three-game absence and will look to build upon a strong start to the season that saw him hit .343 through his first 10 games.
