Wall is out for the rest of the season after dislocating his left (non-throwing) shoulder in a game for High-A Lancaster earlier this month, Bobby DeMuro of BaseballCensus.com reports.

It is now clear why Wall has not played since May 2. On the surface, it appeared that he was really playing well in a repeat run at High-A, slashing .299/.361/.471 with three home runs and five steals (on eight attempts) in 87 at-bats. However, the fact that he was slashing just .222/.237/.444 away from the extremely hitter-friendly conditions at Lancaster suggests that his surface numbers may not truly indicate how well he was playing prior to the injury.

Frazier went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run during Thursday's win over Atlanta.

Frazier is 20-for-48 through 13 games since being activated from the disabled list and has two home runs, 13 RBI, two stolen bases and 11 runs during that stretch. He doesn't profile as a power threat after posting an underwhelming .411 slugging percentage with just two long flies over 160 plate appearances last year. However, Frazier is locked into the leadoff spot right now, and he's currently sporting a .446 on-base percentage. There is a lot of room for statistical decline before he's no longer a serviceable fantasy asset.

The Giants are deciding whether they want to keep Arroyo in the majors while he works through his current slump, Alex Pavlovic of CSN Bay Area reports.

The infielder is 0-for-13 in his last three games and has steadily eroded at the plate in May (.193/.261/.277 in 22 contests). Manager Bruce Bochy said Arroyo facing major-league pitching is crucial for his development, but the organization remains undecided. Arroyo may only have a few more days to prove he's still worth a spot with the Giants while working through his issues. He's batting eighth and playing third base Thursday as a result of Eduardo Nunez (hamstring) being a late scratch.

Arroyo was placed back in the Giants' Thursday lineup after Eduardo Nunez (hamstring) was scratched, Andrew Baggarly of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Arroyo was originally given a break to help him clear his head during a slump, but Nunez's hamstring injury continues to bug him, so Arroyo's day off is cut short. He'll square up against the Cubs' Eddie Butler to try to right his season (.196/.248/.313 in 121 plate appearances).

Arroyo is not in the Giants' lineup Thursday, Alec Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

The infielder gets a break during the day game. Arroyo is hitting a paltry .196/.248/.313 line with thee home runs in 121 plate appearances. Eduardo Nunez takes his place at third base, and Justin Ruggiano joins the lineup in right field.

Frazier had a perfect day at the plate Wednesday, going 2-for-2 with a three-run homer, four walks, a steal and three runs in a 10-inning win against the Braves.

His second-inning homer got the Pirates' offense going early, and Frazier never stopped doing his thing out of the leadoff spot. The young outfielder is now sporting a spectacular .370 batting average with a couple homers, a couple steals, 15 RBI and 15 runs through 27 games spent primarily in the leadoff spot. His sky-high BABIP suggests that regression is in the offing, but also that a .300 average may be sustainable; however, Frazier's modest pop and inefficient base stealing put a hard ceiling on his fantasy upside.

Solarte went 2-for-4 with a double, a walk and three RBI against the Mets on Wednesday.

He's put together a pair of two-hit games in a row since sitting out Sunday; that may not seem like much, but Solarte's last two-hit game before this came way back on April 29. It's been a scuffle for the fourth-year vet, but his impressive 16:19 BB:K and deflated BABIP suggest that better results could be in his future.

Forsythe went 1-for-5 with a walk-off RBI double in Tuesday's 2-1 victory over the Cardinals.

He struck out in his first four at-bats in his first game action since April 18, but that seemed to be enough to shake off the rust as Forsythe sliced a Jonathan Broxton fastball into the right-field corner to bring home Enrique Hernandez in the bottom of the 13th inning. Forsythe should see a full workload at third base with Justin Turner (hamstring) out until at least early June, but Chris Taylor's impressive play at second while Forsythe was on the DL could make for a crowded Dodgers infield once everyone is healthy.

Forsythe is playing third base and batting leadoff Tuesday against the Cardinals, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Now that Forsythe is back from an extended stay on the disabled list, it appears he will reclaim his spot atop the order for the Dodgers, even against righties. The 30-year-old, who was slashing .295/.407/.341 in 44 at-bats before landing on the DL, will face off against Lance Lynn in his return to the lineup.

Forsythe (toe) was activated from the 10-day disabled list Tuesday.

As expected, Forsythe was activated ahead of Tuesday's series opener with the Cardinals after missing the last 30 games. Pitcher Josh Ravin was optioned to Triple-A to clear room on the roster for Forsythe. He'll take over at third base for the time being, though he'll eventually switch back to second base once Justin Turner (hamstring) is back.
