Tomlinson went 2-for-2 with a solo homer and a walk against the Dodgers on Tuesday.

His first homer in 92 games this season came against Clayton Kershaw, of all people. That'll probably be a lifelong memory for Tomlinson, who's given the fantasy community no reason to consider him anything other than a light-hitting, relatively little-used utility man.

Forsythe is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Giants, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

Forsythe -- who is just 6-for-30 during the month of September -- will head to the bench as the Dodgers take on the Giants and look to snap out of their lengthy losing streak. Chase Utley will draw the start at second base and bat eighth.

Drury is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rockies.

This will be Drury's second absence in four games since Paul Goldschmidt's return to first base -- he and Daniel Descalso seem destined to split time fairly evenly at second over the remainder of the campaign. Drury has a .686 OPS since the All-Star break, which is more than 110 points lower than his mark from the first half.

Frazier is out of Tuesday's lineup against the Brewers.

He will sit for the second time in the last three games, and given the expanded roster and host of options in the middle infield, Frazier could be in for a reduced role where he starts three or four times per week down the stretch. Sean Rodriguez will start at second base and hit seventh.

Forsythe is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Giants, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

Forsythe has struggled at the plate to kick off September, collecting just five hits in 26 at-bats (.192), so he'll get the day off as Chase Utley takes over at the keystone.

Albies went 2-for-4 with two walks, a run scored and an RBI in Sunday's extra-inning win over the Marlins.

The 20-year-old switch-hitter extended his on-base streak to 13 games with the performance, and Albies now has a .282/.346/.444 slash line in his first 38 big-league games. He's only stolen two bases, but the diminutive middle infielder appears ready to become a fixture at the top of the Braves' order for many years to come.

Marte is out of the lineup Sunday against the Padres.

Marte has picked up two hits in three consecutive games and scored four runs in that time. However, despite his tremendous display of hitting, the Diamondbacks will start Adam Rosales at shortstop and give Marte the day off.

Frazier isn't in the lineup Sunday against the Cardinals.

Max Moroff will start at second base and hit second Sunday when the Pirates take on Michael Wacha and the Cardinals. Frazier has played two games since coming off the disabled list on Friday and gone 3-for-6 over said outings.

Rosario (finger) is in the lineup Sunday against the Reds, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

After being held out of the starting lineup for six games, Rosario is ready to return to action. He'll start at shortstop and hit sixth Sunday. Rosario has played 32 games for the Mets this season and hit .245/.272/.427 in that time.

Marte went 2-for-3 with two walks and two runs in Saturday's 7-6 loss to the Padres.

Marte has recorded hits in eight of his last nine games, with multi-hit efforts in the past three contests boosting his season average to .284. Though he's continuing to reach base at a steady clip, Marte hasn't been looking to run as often as expected, stealing just two bags on three attempts in 54 games. Even so, the impact Marte provides in the average and runs categories -- not to mention his burgeoning power -- should be enough to make him a useful lineup cog in NL-only and most deep-mixed-league formats.
