Herrera is hitting just .231/.278/.359 with three homers in 129 plate appearances at Triple-A Louisville. He's also 0-for-3 in stolen base attempts.

As much as Jose Peraza has struggled, Herrera has done nothing to convince the Reds to promote him. In fact, Scooter Gennett is a far greater threat to Peraza's playing time than Herrera.

Solarte is not in the lineup Monday against the Brewers.

Solarte will head to the bench for the first time all season as Cory Spangenberg draws the start at second base in his stead. The 29-year-old is slashing .237/.316/.338 through 39 games this season.

Drury is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.

Drury is on a tear at the plate recently, collecting nine hits in his previous 20 at-bats, raising his season average to .322. Despite the hot stretch, the Diamondbacks will give the young second baseman the day off Sunday against Ivan Nova and the Pirates. Chris Owings will take over at second base in Drury's absence.

Forsythe (toe) is expected to play in a rehab game as the designated hitter Tuesday, David Vassegh of AM570 Los Angeles reports.

Forsythe will give it another go after his first attempt at a rehab assignment was cut short by a tight hamstring. A fractured toe on his right foot landed Forsythe on the DL in mid-April. It's uncertain when he may return to the keystone, but Forsythe should reclaim primary duties at second base upon his eventual activation.

Arroyo is not starting Saturday's game against the Reds, Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

The rookie will sit out of Saturday's outing against the Reds, as the Giants are opting to start Kelby Tomlinson at third base. Arroyo is slashing .236/.286/.389 over 18 games this season.

Frazier grounded out in a pinch-hitting role Friday against the Diamondbacks.

Jose Osuna got the nod over Frazier in left field, even though the left-handed Frazier hits lefties better than righties (albeit with less power than Osuna). The appearance was his first since he injured his hamstring April 22. Chances are good that he'll crack the starting lineup Saturday against Taijuan Walker.

Drury went 3-for-5 with a double and a three-run homer in Friday's 11-4 rout of the Pirates.

His bat has come alive over the last four games, as Drury has gone 8-for-16 with four doubles, two homers and six RBI. His spot in the bottom half of the Arizona lineup makes him a riskier DFS play, but he'll be tough to ignore as long as this current hot streak lasts.

Bostick was optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday.

Bostick was only up with the big-league club for four days, but he managed to log three appearances in that span. He failed to pick up a hit, however, so he'll head back to the minors to build off the solid .842 OPS he posted in 24 games prior to the callup.

Frazier (hamstring) was activated from the 10-day DL on Friday.

The hamstring issue cost Frazier a bit more time than initially expected, but he made it through a rehab assignment unscathed and is now ready to return to the Pirates' outfield. He figures to form a platoon in left field alongside Jose Osuna, starting against most opposing right-handed starters, with Gregory Polanco back in right field.

Franklin's playing time should increase while Ryan Braun (calf) is on the 10-day disabled list, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

He's been piecing together at-bats in the outfield and middle infield since joining Milwaukee. Franklin, who's scuffled at the dish with a .167/.186/.310 line over 43 plate appearances, probably will not play as often as Hernan Perez will, but NL-only fantasy players could find him more useful if he starts twice or three times per week.
