Marte went 1-for-2 with a two-run homer in Friday's 4-2 win over the Cardinals.

Marte's eighth-inning blast, which extended his hitting streak to six games, provided necessary cushion for the Diamondbacks, who won their fourth straight. The first-time All-Star's breakout season continued apace. Marte has a career-high 21 home runs and his 55 RBI are four shy of his best mark set last season.

Urias left Triple-A El Paso's game Friday in the fifth inning during his at-bat after suffering an apparent injury on a swing, Felix Chavez of the El Paso Times reports.

It's typically bad news when a hitter cannot complete an at-bat due to an injury suffered during a swing, and that sounds like it could be the case with Urias. We may not get official word on the nature of the injury until Saturday.

Dubon remains on the bench Friday against the Giants.

Dubon was promoted for the final game before the All-Star break but hasn't started either of the games he's been active for. Orlando Arcia returns from a shoulder injury to start Friday's contest and still appears to be the starter at shortstop despite his uninspiring .239/.300/.406 slash line. Dubon is an interesting prospect who hit .316/.345/.511 at the Triple-A level over the last two seasons, though, so he could eventually threaten Arcia's spot.

Edwards advanced to High-A Lake Elsinore on Tuesday, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Edwards earns a deserved promotion after hitting .336/.392/.414 in 77 games for Low-A Fort Wayne. He makes a lot of contact (10.2 percent strikeout rate) and has excellent speed (20 steals), though he has almost no power (just one career professional home run).

Turang was promoted to High-A Carolina on Monday, Duane Cross of MiLB.com reports.

Turang's final hit for Low-A Wisconsin was a walkoff single Sunday against Beloit. The 19-year-old will move up a level after posting a .287/.384/376 line in 82 games, stealing 21 bags while hitting two homers. He hasn't shown any real power to this point, but his speed is impressive, as is his control of the plate, as he struck out just 15.1 percent of the time while posting a 13.7 percent walk rate.

Albies went 2-for-3 with a walk in Sunday's win over the Marlins.

The 22-year-old has four multi-hit performances in his last five games, going 9-for-18 with five doubles and a homer. The hot streak has pushed Albies' slash line on the season to .290/.351/.486, and his 14 home runs, six steals, 49 RBI and 56 runs through 90 games have given him significant fantasy value.

Dubon is out of the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Pirates, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Dubon received his first major-league promotion Sunday but won't immediately enter the starting nine since he is still en route to the ballpark after being called up from Triple-A San Antonio. Tyler Saladino is starting at shortstop for the Brewers in the series finale with top option Orlando Arcia (shoulder) on the bench. The Brewers don't believe Arcia will require a trip to the injured list, which could hinder Dubon's efforts to see regular action while he's up with the big club.

The Brewers recalled Dubon from Triple-A San Antonio prior to Sunday's game against the Pirates.

Milwaukee hasn't officially unveiled its lineup for Sunday, but it'll likely include Dubon, who would become the first Honduran-born player to make his MLB debut. With Orlando Arcia dealing with a shoulder injury in addition to trending downward at the plate in recent weeks, Dubon could have a real chance to stick around as the Brewers' everyday shortstop coming out of the All-Star break.

McNeil went 4-for-5 with a run scored and an RBI in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Phillies.

It's the 27-year-old's fourth four-hit game of the season already. McNeil is on fire heading into his first All-Star Game appearance, slashing .443/.473/.729 over his last 17 games with four homers, three steals, 14 runs and 16 RBI, and the surge has moved him 15 points ahead of Cody Bellinger for the major-league lead in batting average.

Dubon will be called up from Triple-A San Antonio by the Brewers, Robert Murray of The Athletic reports.

Orlando Arcia was carted off the field Saturday with a left shoulder injury after colliding with a teammate, opening up the opportunity for Dubon to make his way to the majors. The 24-year-old has a .306/.343/.487 slash line with 14 homers in 82 games at San Antonio this season and figures to see starting chances at shortstop as one of the organization's top prospects.
