Tomlinson was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Monday, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Tomlinson will join the Giants to offer additional infield depth with Brandon Crawford landing on the paternity list. The 28-year-old, who is hitting .226/.274/.283 across 45 games with the big club this season, will likely head back to the minors once Crawford returns later in the week.

Forsythe is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Cubs.

Forsythe will head to the bench for a breather following a string of four straight starts in which he went 4-for-13 (.308). Max Muncy will pick up a start at the keystone and hit second in his stead.

Rosario is out of the lineup Sunday against the Diamondbacks, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Rosario, who is off to a 7-for-45 (.156 average) start to June, will head to the bench for the first time since May 26. Jose Reyes will pick up a rare start at shortstop and will hit eighth Sunday.

Albies is not in the starting lineup Sunday against the Padres.

It's a rare day off for the breakout second baseman, as Albies has started each of the first 70 games this year at the keystone. He's slowed down considerably in the month of June, however, slashing .131/.172/.295 across 64 plate appearances. After going hitless in another set of back-to-back games, manager Brian Snitker will send Albies to the bench in favor of Johan Camargo at second base. Dansby Swanson will get the call to bat atop the batting order for the series finale.

Hernandez went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer against the Giants on Saturday.

Hernandez drew a second consecutive start with a left-handed pitcher on the mound and came through with his 10th home run of the season. He entered Saturday's contest with a slugging percentage nearly 100 points below his career mark against southpaws, but with home runs against them in consecutive games, it appears that he is seeing them well once again.

Hernandez started in center field and went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in a win over the Giants on Friday.

Hernandez took Derek Holland deep in the first inning, getting the ball rolling for the Dodgers' offense in an important division win. The super-utility man is only batting .217 this year, but he is on pace to pass his career high of 11 homers in 2017 with nine long balls through 173 plate appearances this season. Hernandez has started five of the club's last seven contests, but the majority of those have come against left-handed starters.

Marte is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Mets.

Marte has found his groove after a rough first two months of the season, and is batting .385/.421/.808 with three home runs and 15 RBI in 57 plate appearances over his last 16 games. Daniel Descalso will start at second base and bat fifth for the Diamondbacks, but don't expect Marte to be out of the lineup for long given his recent production.

Lux (hamstring) will be placed on the 7-day minor-league disabled list retroactive to Wednesday, Kyle Glaser of Baseball America reports.

Lux went down with a hamstring injury after sliding into second base during Tuesday's game with High-A Rancho Cucamonga. The club hasn't provided any sort of timetable for his return, but it's unlikely that he will need an extended stay on the shelf. Through 58 games this season, he's hitting .312/.396/.515 with eight home runs, 35 RBI and seven stolen bases.

Rosario went 1-for-3 with a solo home run Thursday against the Diamondbacks.

Rosario got a hold of his fourth home run of the season, this one coming off right-hander Archie Bradley. It was his first home run since May 25 and just his third extra-base hit in that span. It's been a disappointing campaign for Rosario, as he is hitting just .238/.268/.357 across 210 at-bats.

Marte went 2-for-2 with three RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's win over the Diamondbacks.

Marte was productive in all four plate appearances, notching a triple, single, walk and sacrifice fly. The 24-year-old got off to a slow start, but he's now hitting .400 in June and has been even hotter of late. In the last three games, Marte's 6-for-11 with three extra-base hits, a steal and six RBI.
