Rosario went 4-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored Wednesday in the Mets' 6-4 loss to the Braves.

The 23-year-old slotted into the leadoff spot in place of the injured Jeff McNeil (hamstring) and delivered a quality imitation of the National League's No. 2 ranked hitter in batting average (.332). Rosario will handle the table-setting duties again in Thursday's series finale and could enjoy a temporary spike in his fantasy value with McNeil on the shelf for at least the next week.

Marte is not starting Thursday against the Giants.

Marte has started all 12 games for the Diamondbacks this month, slashing .367/.456/.551 with five extra-base hits (two doubles, two triples and a home run), three steals and a 7:5 BB:K during that stretch. Eduardo Escobar gets the nod at second base in this one, with Jake Lamb starting at third.

Urias went 1-for-2 with a double, a run scored, three RBI and a walk in Wednesday's 7-2 win over the Rays.

Urias delivered a two-run double during the fourth inning to give the Friars a 4-2 lead and tacked on another RBI when he was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded in the seventh. The 22-year-old is enjoying a productive August with a .355/.487/.452 slash line in 11 games, and he could see some playing time at shortstop -- as he did Wednesday -- while Fernando Tatis is out with back spasms.

Marte went 4-for-5 with two doubles, two RBI and two runs in Wednesday's 7-6 loss at Colorado.

Marte was a key cog in the Diamondbacks' offense Wednesday, as he scored or drove in a run in all three of the innings the team scored. The 25-year-old has a .348/.444/.583 slash line with seven doubles, four triples and four home runs in 30 games since the All-Star break.

Manager Dave Roberts said Hernandez (hand) will begin a minor-league rehab assignment over the weekend, Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Hernandez is ready to face live pitching in games for the first time since landing on the injured list at the end of July with a sprained hand. The utility man could rejoin the Dodgers sometime next week, as he likely won't need a lengthy rehab stint before being cleared to return.

Urias went 2-for-3 with a double, walk and three RBI in Tuesday's 7-5 loss to the Rays.

Urias went 1-for-24 in his first eight games with the Padres following his July 20 callup from Triple-A El Paso, but the rookie is finally starting to show the polished plate approach that made him a highly regarded prospect. Over his subsequent 12 contests, Urias has slashed .333/.442/.472 with seven RBI and eight runs scored. Urias shifted over to shortstop Tuesday when Fernando Tatis (back) exited late in the contest and will man that position in the series finale Wednesday while batting seventh.

Rojas is not starting Wednesday against the Rockies.

Rojas will give way to Adam Jones in right field for Wednesday's series finale as the Diamondbacks stack right-handed bats against southpaw Kyle Freeland. The rookie is 3-for-7 with a walk and two runs scored through his first two big-league games.

McNeil (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday, though he's expected to return when first eligible Aug. 24, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

McNeil suffered a hamstring injury during Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Braves, but he's not expected to miss more than 10 days after an MRI revealed only a mild strain. Ruben Tejada will take McNeil's place on the roster.

McNeil is expected to require a stint on the 10-day injured list after injuring his left hamstring in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Braves, Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports.

McNeil was pulled from the contest during his ninth-inning plate appearance when he grabbed at his hamstring while attempting to beat out an infield single. The Mets announced shortly after the game that McNeil would be sent in for an MRI on Wednesday. While official word on the results of McNeil's tests aren't yet available, the Mets seem prepared to be without the 27-year-old's services, as Ruben Tejada has been summoned from Triple-A Syracuse to join the taxi squad. Unless the Mets receive surprisingly good news from McNeil's MRI, expect him to be moved to the IL later Wednesday or Thursday.

Frazier went 3-for-5 with a double, a walk and an RBI in Tuesday's win over the Angels.

Frazier scored the Pirates' first run of the game in the third inning and drove home Pablo Reyes with a double in the seventh. The three-hit game was his seventh of the season and first since July 7. With the productive performance, the 27-year-old upped his slash line to .270/.330/.392.
