Frazier is not in the lineup Thursday against Philadelphia.

Frazier will be out of the lineup for the second straight game, although he did come in to pinch hit during Wednesday's contest. Jose Osuna is set to take his place in left, while batting second in the order.

Urias is out of the lineup for Double-A San Antonio with back tightness, Jeff Sanders of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Urias should be considered day-to-day with no real reason for concern moving forward. Unless this becomes a lingering issue for the 20-year-old, he should be back in the lineup in the coming days. Urias has played exceptionally well with San Antonio this season, hitting .304/.400/.402 with two home runs, 24 RBI and six stolen bases.

Gimenez, 18, is hitting .273/.328/.355 with two home runs and six steals on 10 attempts in 183 at-bats for Low-A Columbia.

His numbers may not look that impressive, but considering he is 18 years old and has been an above-average hitter (104 wRC+) in the South Atlantic League, his dynasty-league stock is trending up. Gimenez's hit tool has a chance to be plus, but he won't do much damage in the power or speed departments. However, he is a lock to stick at shortstop, and has a chance to hit first or second in a quality big-league lineup someday.

Frazier is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Phillies.

Frazier has just one hit in the past three games, so he'll get a night off to clear his head. John Jaso will pick up a start in left field to replace him.

Rodgers (head) has appeared in each of the past three games, going 2-for-11 with two RBI and three strikeouts in that span.

The top prospect was hit in the head by a pitch Saturday in the first game of Double-A Hartford's twin bill with the Portland Sea Dogs, but it seems like he's not experiencing any lingering effects from the incident. Rodgers should continue to get plenty of chances to play as he advances up the Rockies' organizational ladder, although it would be nice to see him improve his current .214 batting average with the Yard Goats.

Renda was traded to the Diamondbacks on Monday in exchange for a player to be named later or cash, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

The 26-year-old was batting .260 with one home run in 198 plate appearances at Triple-A Louisville and wasn't viewed as a long-term asset by the Reds, so he was jettisoned to a new organization in order to free up a roster spot for Louisville. His defensive versatility and plate discipline are fine attributes, but those skills won't give him much appeal in the fantasy realm.

Marte went 2-for-4 with a walkoff RBI single in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Rockies.

Marte was making his second start with the Diamondbacks since his June 28 promotion and carried his weight in the eight hole, finishing as one of only two players on the team with multiple hits. Though he held down an impressive .338/.391/.514 slash line at Triple-A Reno prior to being called up, Marte is unlikely to see consistent at-bats unless one of the Diamondbacks' regular middle infielders (Chris Owings and Brandon Drury) succumbs to an injury.

Drury went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Rockies.

Drury's one-out single in the bottom of the ninth helped ignite a Diamondbacks attack that had been dormant for most of the afternoon, as Chris Iannetta followed up with a double before Ketel Marte drove Drury home for the game-winning run. After he doubled earlier in the contest, Drury cashed in on his first multi-hit effort since June 21, ending a 3-for-28 drought at the plate.

Padres manager Andy Green said Sunday that he's hopeful Solarte (oblique) will be able to return from the disabled list for the team's first game out of the All-Star break, Bill Center of MLB.com reports.

Solarte has been sidelined since June 20 with the left oblique strain, and though he has yet to return to full baseball activities, he's said to be making progress in his recovery. It's expected that Solarte will increase the intensity of his workouts this week before potentially heading out on a rehab assignment at a minor-league affiliate. Once he returns from the DL, Solarte would likely take back regular duties at the keystone from Carlos Asuaje.

Rodgers was removed from the first game of a doubleheader Saturday with Double-A Hartford after he was hit in the head by a pitch during a fifth-inning at-bat, Michael Avallone of MiLB.com reports.

Rodgers was on the ground for an extended period after being hit but was able to walk off the field under his own power about two minutes later. The prized prospect was held out of the lineup in the nightcap, but it's unknown if he sustained any concussion-like symptoms as a result of the impact that would potentially shelve him for multiple games. Rodgers is batting .226 with no extra-base hits in nine games since being promoted from High-A Lancaster in June.
