    Mets' Amed Rosario: Scores twice Wednesday

    Rosario went 2-for-4 with a double, a triple and two runs scored in Wednesday's win over the Braves.

    It's his third straight multi-hit game, and Rosario now boasts a .350/.381/.650 slash line over his last dozen contests. The 22-year-old also contributed with his glove Wednesday, starting a double play in the eighth inning that snuffed out an Atlanta rally. His overall fantasy production on the season remains flimsy, but Rosario has the tools to put together a big summer if things are beginning to click for him.

    Mets' Amed Rosario: Drives in three in Monday's nightcap

    Rosario went 2-for-5 with three RBI in a win over the Braves during the second game of Monday's doubleheader.

    He chipped in some fantasy value in the matinee as well, going 1-for-4 with his third stolen base of the season, Rosario has put together a nice little hot streak, slashing .313/.353/.594 over his last 10 games with three homers, two steals, six RBI and five runs, and while the 22-year-old will probably have plenty of peaks and valleys in his production ahead, he seems to have found his footing in the majors as he approaches his 100th game with the Mets.

    Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Two-hit showing off bench

    Marte went 2-for-2 with a double and an RBI in the Diamondbacks' 12-5 triumph over the Reds on Monday.

    Marte was out of the starting lineup Monday, but that didn't prevent him from posting his first multi-hit game since May 13. Despite the strong showing Monday, Marte is still hitting just .217 over the Diamondbacks' last seven games and hasn't resembled the player that looked like a cornerstone infielder in the second half of 2017. His OPS is down 149 points from the season before, putting Marte at risk of surrendering his everyday role.

    Mets' Luis Guillorme: Smacks double Monday

    Guillorme went 2-for-4 with a double and one RBI during the first game of Monday's doubleheader against the Braves.

    Guillorme hit an RBI double in the fourth inning that got the Mets out to a 2-0 lead. Through 14 games this season, he's put together a .240/.269/.320 slash line with two RBI and two extra-base hits.

  • Logan Forsythe 2B | LAD

    Dodgers' Logan Forsythe: Out of Monday's lineup

    Forsythe is out of Monday's lineup against the Phillies, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

    He is hitting .235/.278/.324 with zero home runs in 34 at-bats over his last 10 games, starting the last five for the Dodgers. Chase Utley is starting at second base and hitting seventh.

    Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Out of Monday's starting nine

    Marte is out of Monday's lineup against the Reds.

    He is hitting just .195/.287/.260 with zero home runs and one steal in 77 May at-bats. Daniel Descalso is starting at second base and hitting cleanup against righty Homer Bailey.

  • Dodgers' Enrique Hernandez: Hits seventh homer

    Hernandez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 4-1 win over the Padres.

    Hernandez started and batted in the heart of the order for a second consecutive game, with the Dodgers taking on a pair of left-handed starters. Normally known for his ability to hit lefties well, the platoon player is generating pretty even splits this season. The 26-year-old is batting .208 with four homers in 60 plate appearances against righties, compared to .213 with three homers in 70 plate appearances against southpaws. Despite this new development, Hernandez generally only starts against lefties, so expect him to be in Sunday's lineup against the left-handed Eric Lauer.

  • Amed Rosario 3B | NYY

    Mets' Amed Rosario: Situated on bench Saturday

    Rosario is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Brewers, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

    Rosario will head to the bench for the first time all month while Jose Reyes picks up a start at shortstop. The youngster is hitting .271/.268/.443 with three homers in 21 games in May.

  • Ketel Marte 2B | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Avoids significant hand injury

    Marte was removed in Friday's 7-1 win over the Athletics after his right hand rolled up underneath him while he slid into third base on his ninth-inning triple, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

    Marte's triple scored Paul Goldschmidt and boosted Arizona's lead to six runs, so manager Torey Lovullo decided it wasn't worth it to keep the infielder in the contest with the outcome essentially already decided. Lovullo said afterward that Marte checked out fine in a post-game examination and would be back in the lineup Saturday.

    Mets' Amed Rosario: Blasts third homer Friday

    Rosario went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's extra-inning loss to the Brewers.

    His third-inning no-doubter off Junior Guerra was only Rosario's third homer of the season, but all three have come in the last six games. The 22-year-old is hitting .300 (15-for-50) over his last 15 games, and while there are still plenty of rough edges to his game -- including a 1-for-5 performance on steal attempts and a 4:35 BB:K so far in 2018 -- Rosario's athleticism is beginning to turn into fantasy production.
