  • Luis Garcia 1B | WAS

    Nationals' Luis Garcia: Locked in at Low-A

    Garcia went 4-for-4 with a walk, a double, two runs scored and two RBI for Low-A Hagerstown in Friday's win over Greensboro.

    The Nats' No. 4 fantasy prospect just turned 18 on May 16 and he's been celebrating in style, posting a phenomenal .405/.422/.595 slash line over his last 11 games. Garcia is still a long way from the majors, but his performance this year in full-season ball has been impressive given his age, while his speed and hit tools give him plenty of fantasy promise if and when he gets to the Show.

  • Isan Diaz 2B | DET

    Marlins' Isan Diaz: Returns from disabled list

    Diaz (concussion) was reinstated from the minor-league disabled list Friday.

    Diaz was hit in the helmet by a fastball May 16 and was subsequently placed on the DL with a concussion, but thankfully only needed a little more than a week to recuperate. The 21-year-old has a .194/.325/.336 slash line in 37 games for Double-A Jacksonville this season.

  • Logan Forsythe 2B | LAD

    Dodgers' Logan Forsythe: Drives in run Wednesday

    Forsythe went 1-for-3 with an RBI double in Wednesday's 3-0 win over Colorado.

    Forsythe is showing some signs of life at the plate, going 5-for-14 with three doubles over his last five games. He is still batting just .188 on the year, but he can build on that if his luck turns around (.203 BABIP) and he continues his recent hot streak.

  • Ozzie Albies 2B | ATL

    Braves' Ozzie Albies: Goes deep Tuesday

    Albies went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and three runs scored Tuesday against the Phillies.

    Albies blasted a home run off Vince Velasquez in the third inning, his 14th of the season. He reached base on two other occasions, scoring a run each time and crossing the plate for each of the Braves' three runs on the night. He continues to lead the National League in runs scored -- he now has 45 on the season -- and trails only Mookie Betts for the major-league lead.

  • Mauricio Dubon LF | ATL

    Brewers' Mauricio Dubon: Undergoes successful surgery

    Dubon (knee) underwent successful ACL surgery on Tuesday, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Dubon was hitting an impressive .343/.348/.574 with four homers and six steals across 27 games with Triple-A Colorado Springs prior to tearing his ACL. He'll now focus on getting back to full health for next season, though it's still unclear if he'll be ready for the beginning of spring training at this point.

  • Luis Guillorme 3B | HOU

    Mets' Luis Guillorme: Makes second straight start Monday

    Guillorme got the start at third base and hit seventh in Monday's win over the Marlins, going 0-for-3.

    The 23-year-old has started consecutive games for the first time since his promotion in early May, but Guillorme's 0-for-7 performance doesn't suggest he's seizing his opportunity. The Mets will likely continue platooning him with Wilmer Flores at third base while Todd Frazier (hamstring) is sidelined and Jose Reyes (2-for-22 in May) works on his swing. Guillorme shouldn't be expected to make a fantasy impact during that small window of playing time.

  • Logan Forsythe 2B | LAD

    Dodgers' Logan Forsythe: Takes seat Monday

    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.

  • Isan Diaz 2B | DET

    Marlins' Isan Diaz: Lands on minor-league shelf

    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.

  • Amed Rosario 3B | NYY

    Mets' Amed Rosario: Goes deep twice

    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.

  • Dodgers' Enrique Hernandez: Homers Sunday

    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.
