Guillorme was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse on Thursday, Matt Ehalt of Yahoo Sports reports.

Robinson Cano (quad) and Jeff McNeil (hamstring) landed on the injured list Thursday morning, and Guillorme was summoned to help fill the cracks. The 24-year-old defensive wiz was hitting .278/.402/.361 at Triple-A. He has a career .200 average over 93 MLB plate appearances. Given the amount of injuries the Mets are dealing with, he could see starts at second base in the short term.

The Mets placed McNeil (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list Thursday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

After sitting out Wednesday's game against the Nationals while managing a tight left hamstring, McNeil was expected to check back into the lineup for the series finale. Instead, he'll now be sidelined for at least the next week and a half after manager Mickey Callaway said Thursday that McNeil's tight hamstring was significant enough to necessitate extra time off. With Robinson Cano (quadriceps) also moving to the IL, the Mets have now lost four members of their Opening Day lineup to injuries. Cano and McNeil will join outfielders Michael Conforto (concussion) and Brandon Nimmo (neck) on the IL.

McNeil (hamstring) is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Nationals, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

The Mets were optimistic that McNeil would be ready to rejoin the lineup in the series finale after sitting out Wednesday, but his left hamstring is apparently still bothering him. With McNeil and Robinson Cano (quadriceps) both banged up, the Mets will hand starts to J.D. Davis in left field and Adeiny Hechavarria at second base.

Guillorme is traveling to New York to potentially join the Mets after Robinson Cano (quad) was removed from Wednesday's game, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Guillorme was pulled from Triple-A Syracuse's game shortly after Cano sustained the injury. The specifics of the injury remain unclear, but it appears as though Guillorme will be promoted if Cano ends up on the injured list.

Rodgers went 3-for-5 with a double, a run and an RBI in the Rockies' 9-3 win over the Pirates on Wednesday.

The 22-year-old flashed some of the ability that made him the club's top offensive prospect, lacing three hits including his first career two-bagger. He now has four hits in his first 13 at-bats with a pair of RBI through his first three games at the big-league level.

McNeil, who is not in Wednesday's lineup against the Nationals, is dealing with left hamstring tightness, but expects to be back in the lineup Thursday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

He felt it toward the end of Tuesday's game when he took second base on defensive indifference, but the injury is not considered serious. J.D. Davis will start in left field and hit second in his place.

Albies will receive a rare off day Tuesday against the Giants.

Albies sits for just the second time this season. He's hitting just .179/.273/.214 over his last eight games. Johan Camargo gets the start at second base.

Rodgers is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Pirates, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

This is classic Rockies, but Ryan McMahon did make a strong case for another start with two homers Sunday. The 22-year-old Rodgers went 1-for-8 with four strikeouts in his first two big-league games before these back-to-back absences. It remains to be seen how exactly the playing-time split at second base will shake out.

Turang has recorded at least one hit in 12 of his last 13 games with Low-A Wisconsin. He's hit .308 (16-for-52) with a home run, seven RBI, six stolen bases and 8:10 BB:K over that span.

Turang is playing full-season ball for the first time since being taken in the first round last year, and he is getting the job done at the dish, posting a .295/.406/.388 slash line over 38 games while also succeeding on 12 of his 15 stolen-base attempts. It would be nice to see some more power from him, but at just 19 years old, he has plenty of time to add that to his arsenal.

Frazier, who has a modest four-game hitting streak, is 4-for-8 with three doubles against Tuesday's starter, German Marquez.

He held a career .280 batting average prior to 2019 but has struggled to a slash line of .255/.314/.354 this year. Frazier missed several games with a back issue early on and has hit just .242 since returning April 21. The injury could have affected his ability to run -- he has two stolen bases overall and has attempted just one since April 13. His 0.4 defensive WAR at second base marks the first time he's registered a positive fielding rating, but the team was likely expecting more after installing him as its everyday second baseman.
