Forsythe is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Diamondbacks, Andy McCullough of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Forsythe, who is hitting just .190/.250/.302 through 17 games this season, will take a seat on the bench for Monday's series opener after starting three of the past four games. Chase Utley will pick up the start at the keystone and hit eighth in his stead.

Diaz (head) was placed on the minor-league disabled list Sunday.

The move, which is retroactive to May 18, comes after Diaz exited Wednesday's game at Double-A Jacksonville after getting hit in the helmet with a 90 mph fastball. Specifics regarding the injury remain unclear, as does a timetable for his return. Diaz was hitting just .194/.325/.336 through 37 games with the Jumbo Shrimp before suffering the injury.

Rosario went 2-for-3 with two home runs, two RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's matchup against the Diamondbacks.

The 22-year-old shortstop went deep in both the sixth and seventh inning of Sunday's game for his first two home runs of the season. Through 40 games this season, Rosario has put together a .248/.273/.368 batting line and has driven in 14 runs. The Mets begin a three-game set with the Marlins on Monday.

Hernandez went 1-for-2 with a home run, two walks, two RBI and two runs scored Sunday against the Nationals.

Hernandez got his first start since Thursday and took advantage by hitting his sixth home run of the season, one that gave the Dodgers a 3-2 lead. The return of Justin Turner and Logan Forsythe has crowded the Dodgers' infield and caused Hernandez to lose at-bats. Moving forward, he figures to see most of his at-bats come with left-handed pitchers on the mound, and he will fill in all over the field defensively.

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

We may see this more often in the days and weeks ahead with Jake Lamb supplanting Daniel Descalso at third base. Descalso has been one of the team's most consistent hitters to this point, so he will continue to play, seemingly at Marte's expense. Marte is batting just .218/.317/.273 in May.

Forsythe is out of the lineup for Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Nationals, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Forsythe will continue the trend of not starting in consecutive games since coming off the disabled list Tuesday. Chase Utley will bat sixth and start at second base as Washington sends Max Scherzer to the mound.

Frazier is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Padres.

Frazier will head to the bench for the third time in the last four games as lefty Clayton Richard takes the hill for San Diego. Sean Rodriguez starts at second base and is batting leadoff for the Bucs.

Tomlinson is out of the lineup against Colorado on Saturday, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Tomlinson will get a regular day off following six straight starts, including back-to-back hitless outings to open this series. Miguel Gomez will man the keystone in his stead.

Forsythe is not in the starting lineup Friday against the Nationals.

Forsythe has yet to play in back-to-back games since returning from his shoulder injury. Chase Utley will again start at second base.

Frazier is not in the lineup against San Diego on Thursday.

Frazier will retreat to the bench for a second straight day with left-hander Eric Lauer taking the hill for the Padres. In his absence, Max Moroff will start at the keystone.
