Urias went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Sunday's win over the Reds.

Urias returned to the lineup after a scheduled rest day Saturday, and he cashed in with his second home run of the year. The 21-year-old is slashing just .205/.265/.364 over his first 49 major-league plate appearances, but his dynasty value remains high despite the early struggles.

Marte is out of the lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Braves, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

Marte hits the bench for the second time in the series as he is 4-for-20 since the start of September. Daniel Descalso will start at second base and bat fifth for the Diamondbacks with Nick Ahmed back at shortstop.

McNeil went 3-for-5 with a triple and two runs scored in Saturday's 10-5 win over the Phillies.

It's his third straight contest with an extra-base hit, and McNeil has pushed his slash line with the Mets back up to .329/.389/.483 through 43 games. The 26-year-old rookie appears to be locking down a starting role at the keystone for 2019 with his impressive debut.

Urias is out of the lineup against Cincinnati on Saturday.

Urias will retreat to the bench for a standard day off following 10 straight starts after being called up in late August. During those contests, he's gone 7-for-39 (.179 average) with one home run and three RBI. Cory Spangenberg will man the keystone and bat seventh.

Marte is not in the lineup Friday against the Braves.

Marte is hitting .324 over his last 10 games. He'll head to the bench in favor of Daniel Descalso.

Rosario is not starting Friday against the Phillies.

Rosario is riding an eight-game hitting streak in which he's hit .432 with a 1.015 OPS. Jose Reyes will start in his place at shortstop.

Frazier is not in Friday's lineup against the Marlins.

Frazier, who has been the Bucs' most productive hitter over the last month, will sit out in favor of rookie Kevin Kramer. Frazier appeared to tweak a calf muscle during one of his at-bats Wednesday, but the team hasn't announced an injury. He has two hits in six career at-bats against starter, Dan Straily. Most likely, manager Clint Hurdle is simply packaging an off day with Friday's game to give the 26-year-old two consecutive days of rest.

Rosario went 3-for-5 with two runs scored and an RBI in Wednesday's 7-3 win over the Dodgers.

It's his seventh multi-hit performance in his last 10 games, and Rosario now boasts a .318/.346/.457 slash line in 30 games since the beginning of August with three homers, nine steals, 17 RBI and 23 runs. The 22-year-old appears to be developing into the offensive threat his minor-league numbers suggested he could be.

Marte went 2-for-3 with an RBI, a run scored and a stolen base in Tuesday's win over the Padres.

Marte plated a run in the second inning with a sacrifice fly, then later came around to score himself after reaching on a single in the seventh. The 24-year-old is 8-for-26 (.308) with a pair of extra-base hits over his last eight games, bringing his slash line on the season to .251/.322/.410.

McNeil is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Dodgers.

McNeil is hitting a solid .323/.390/.465 with two homers and four stolen bases across 39 games this season, but he'll head to the bench with left-hander Rich Hill starting for the Dodgers. Wilmer Flores will start at the keystone in his stead.
