Forsythe is not in the lineup Friday against the Reds, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

Forsythe will get the day off after starting each of the last three contests. The Dodgers will go with Justin Turner at third base, while Chase Utley gets the nod at second.

General manager Sandy Alderson said Rosario won't be recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas yet, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

With Neil Walker (hamstring) and Asdrubal Cabrera (thumb) both on the disabled list, Alderson quashed rumors that the top prospect may be joining the big club to fill the void left in the middle of the infield. "When Rosario or any of our top prospects come up we don't want them to have to go back," the GM noted. Alderson didn't rule out a change of plans if Cabrera's rehab doesn't progress as scheduled, but for now the Mets seem content stashing the 21-year-old in Las Vegas. Rosario is slashing .333/.374/.496 through 64 games at Triple-A this season.

Urias is not in the lineup for Double-A San Antonio the day after getting hit by a pitch on the elbow, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

This is a tough break for the 20-year-old, who is slashing .314/.417/.427 in 62 games with San Antonio despite a recent slump. He is expected to be reevaluated Friday, at which point there should be an update regarding his condition.

Arroyo was removed from Wednesday's game with Triple-A Sacramento after being hit on the wrist by a pitch, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports. X-rays came back negative.

This appears to be good news for Arroyo, as he seems to have avoided a more serious injury. The Giants will still proceed cautiously with the top prospect, who should be considered day-to-day for now. The 22-year-old was slashing .292/.414/.417 in seven games since being optioned back to Triple-A.

Hernandez entered Wednesday's game as a pinch-hitter, going 2-for-2 with his sixth home run of the season in a win over the Indians.

Hernandez entered the game in the eighth inning to take on Andrew Miller and delivered against one of the league's top left-handed relievers. The utility man naturally owns a batting average over 50 points higher against southpaws than he does against righties, as he has done for his entire career. Hernandez was seeing semi-regular playing time while several Dodger starters were on the disabled list, but with the team looking the healthiest it has in a while, the veteran will move back into a platoon role, primarily seeing starts against southpaws while spelling regulars across the diamond.

Drury went 4-for-5 with two doubles, a home run and three RBI in Tuesday's 7-6 win over the Tigers.

The 24-year-old may be the hottest hitter in the league right now, homering in three straight games and four times in his last five starts. Drury only has eight home runs on the season, but his .847 OPS would be a career high if he can maintain this pace.

Albies was activated from the minor-league disabled list Tuesday.

Albies, who missed the past week after fouling a ball off his foot, is expected to return to the starting lineup for Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday. Although the highly regarded prospect hasn't quite clicked at the plate with Gwinnett -- slashing just .262/.311/.391 with three homers through 54 games -- he is an impressive 15-for-16 on stolen base attempts.

Urias, 20, is hitting just .162 over his last 10 games for Double-A San Antonio.

Urias is still slashing .315/.413/.430 on the year, showing just how hot he started out the season. He just turned 20 years of age, and as one of the youngest players at this level, his upside remains promising, particularly when it comes to his hit tool. Urias may not hit for much power, and his speed is not terrific either, but his bat will play anywhere. Urias has more walks (39) than strikeouts (33) at this level.

Diaz, 21, is hitting .221/.324/.396 with nine home runs, 37 RBI and six steals through 62 games for High-A Carolina.

Diaz has been particularly cold of late, hitting a putrid .097 over his last 10 games. He has also fanned 63 times in 62 contests in 2017. The toolsy Diaz must cut down on his strikeouts and make more consistent contact if he is to remain an elite prospect.

Solarte went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Monday's win over the Reds.

The homer was Solarte's sixth of the season, but was also his third over his last 10 contests. The veteran infielder is slashing .282/.364/.513 over that 10-game span, so he could finally be breaking out of his season-long slump. Owners could take a look at the 29-year-old in the event he was cut after his slow start, because Solarte could be one hot stretch away from getting back on last year's pace that placed him on the fantasy map as a middle infielder.
