Rosario went 1-for-2 with a solo home run during a 4-3 loss to the Nationals in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader.

Andres Gimenez got the start at shortstop for the matinee but left in the second inning with an oblique strain, and Rosario then took Max Scherzer deep in the fourth as his replacement. After an 0-for-3 showing in the nightcap, Rosario is wrapping up a tough campaign that's put his spot as the Mets' shortstop of the future in jeopardy, posting a .245/.266/.367 slash line with four homers, 15 RBI, 20 runs and a baffling zero steals on only one attempt through 45 games.

Gimenez was placed on the 10-day injured list with right oblique tightness after Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Nationals, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

The 22-year-old was lifted from Saturday's matinee with the oblique issue, and he'll end up missing the final two games of the season. Gimenez will finish his rookie campaign with a .263/.333/.398 slash line, three homers, 12 RBI and eight stolen bases in 132 plate appearances. Amed Rosario will take over at shortstop for the Mets in the nightcap.

Gimenez tweaked his oblique during an at-bat in the top of the second inning, and the injury could bring his promising rookie season to an end. If he's indeed sidelined for the final two games of the regular season, Amed Rosario could take over as the shortstop.

Gimenez left Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Nationals with an apparent injury, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Gimenez appeared to tweak something when fouling a ball off in the top of the second inning, and he was replaced by Amed Rosario in the middle of his at-bat. It wasn't clear what kind of injury he suffered and whether he'll be available for the Mets' final two games of the regular season remains to be seen.

Marte isn't in the lineup for Game 2 of Friday's doubleheader against the Rockies.

Marte will retreat to the bench after going 1-for-3 with one walk in the first game of the twin bill. Josh VanMeter will take over at second base.

Frazier went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, two RBI and two runs scored in the Pirates' 7-0 win over the Cubs on Thursday.

Frazier's long ball off Alec Mills was his second in as many days. The outfielder added an RBI single an inning later and now has seven homers and 21 RBI on the campaign.

Gimenez is not in Thursday's lineup against the Nationals.

He will head to the bench with lefty Patrick Corbin on the hill for Washington. Amed Rosario will start at shortstop and bat seventh.

Guillorme was recalled prior to Thursday's game against the Nationals, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

The Mets are pretty banged up, so Guillorme could see some starts over the final three days -- he is not in Thursday's lineup. Michael Conforto (hamstring) was placed on the injured list in a corresponding move. Guillorme is hitting .347 with zero home runs and two steals in 49 at-bats.

Frazier went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, an RBI and a run scored Wednesday as he helped the Pirates to a 2-1 win over the Cubs.

Frazier got things rolling right away as he opened up the bottom of the first by taking Kyle Hendricks deep to right to knot the game up at one apiece. The Pirates would then promptly take the lead after Ke'Bryan Hayes sent a ball flying over the center-field wall the very next at-bat to put his team up 2-1. Frazier's homer Wednesday snapped an 11-game drought as the 28-year-old has struggled at the plate for a majority of the season, hitting .220/.290/.335 with six home runs, 19 RBI and 19 runs scored across 211 plate appearances.

Dubon went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and a walk during Wednesday's win over the Rockies.

Dubon launched a three-run blast against Yency Almonte in the fifth inning to give the Giants the lead. The long ball was the third of the year for the 26-year-old, who is averaging .286 across 49 games.
