Bostick was optioned to Triple-A New Orleans on Wednesday, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.

Bostick appeared in two games for the Marlins off the bench, grabbing a walk and an RBI double in his only plate appearances. He'll head to Triple-A, with Austin Dean heading the other way.

Marte went 1-for-3 with a double, walk and two runs Tuesday in the Diamondbacks' 6-4 win over the Rangers.

Marte had gone 0-for-15 over the Diamondbacks' previous four contests before connecting on his 39th extra-base knock of the season in his first at-bat Tuesday. The slump resulted in a 10-point drop in Marte's batting average, but the infielder has been trending upward on the whole since the beginning of June. During 64 appearances over that span, Marte has slashed .278/.359/.522 while supplying nine of his 10 home runs and three of his four steals on the season.

Frazier will remain in the lineup Wednesday against the Twins.

Starling Marte is the Pirate being scratched. Frazier will move up to second in the order and take Marte's place in center field.

Frazier was scratched from Wednesday's lineup against the Twins for undisclosed reasons.

Late scratches of this nature are usually due to some sort of injury, though no issue has yet been announced. Corey Dickerson will move out to left field, while Elias Diaz will be the designated hitter, batting sixth.

Rodgers was placed on the 7-day disabled list at Triple-A Albuquerque due to a hamstring injury he suffered last week.

Rodgers will be eligible to return to the field Sunday, though the organization has yet to comment on any sort of timetable or the severity of his injury. The infielder had gone just 7-for-31 (.226 average) with two doubles and a pair of RBI since joining the Triple-A team at end of July.

Albies is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Marlins.

Albies will head to the bench for a breather after starting the previous seven games, slashing .321/.387/.429 over that stretch. Charlie Culberson will start at the keystone and hit second in his stead.

Bostick was recalled from Triple-A New Orleans on Monday, Andre Fernandez of the Miami Herald reports.

Bostick will take the roster spot of Martin Prado (quad), who was sent to the disabled list in a corresponding roster move. The 25-year-old second baseman turned outfielder, who was acquired from the Pirates over the weekend, owns a solid .295/.351/.436 slash line in 78 games at the Triple-A level this season. He'll likely work as a utility player for the Marlins, though he could see some starts, given the lack of talent on the big-league roster.

Guillorme was optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas on Monday.

Guillorme had been with the Mets for over two weeks but started just once. Tim Reinheimer was called up in a corresponding move and will fill Guillorme's bench role.

The Marlins acquired Bostick from the Pirates for cash Sunday, Jon Heyman of FancredSports.com reports.

Bostick was designated for assignment Tuesday by the Pirates just after an uneventful stint in the majors. The 25-year-old had a .295/.351/.436 slash line with Triple-A Indianapolis this season, and should report to Triple-A New Orleans with his new organization.

Herrera got his first outfield start Saturday against the Diamondbacks, starting in left field, Grant Freking of MLB.com reports. "Most guys who play the infield can catch a fly ball. We want him to [catch] it and get it back into the cut-off man," interim manager Jim Riggleman said. "It's a little bit of experimentation. As much as we're trying to win ballgames, we've got to find out about some guys, too."

Herrera went 0-for-2 with a walk in the game, and looked competent in the field. Herrera's big issue is that there's no room for him in the infield, now or in the future, with Nick Senzel likely making it to the big club in 2019.
