Cristhian Adames 2B | MIA
Rockies' Cristhian Adames: Outrighted to Triple-A
Adames was outrighted to Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday, the Associated Press reports.
The infielder will remain in the organization after clearing waivers following the Rockies' decision to designate him for assignment last Sunday. Adames went 0-for-13 at the dish while appearing in 12 games for the Rockies.

Giants' Christian Arroyo: Crushes third homer of season
Arroyo went 1-for-4 with a solo homer in Friday's loss to the Reds.
Arroyo launched his third home run of the season to draw the Giants within two runs in a losing effort. Although the homers have provided a decent start to his season, the statistics in all of the other hitting categories make him a player who should be left on the waiver wire in most fantasy leagues.

Dodgers' Logan Forsythe: Will resume rehab after weekend
Forsythe (hamstring) will resume his rehab following the weekend, Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times reports Friday.
Forsythe still felt feeling hamstring tightness when he began his rehab Wednesday. He was expected to need three games and return over the weekend. Instead, if the Dodgers continue with the original three-game rehab plan, Forsythe will likely return late next week in Colorado. Forsythe had a nifty .295/.407/.341 batting line before his injury and will have a place in the Dodgers lineup upon his return.

Dodgers' Logan Forsythe: Won't be activated Friday
Forsythe (toe/hamstring) won't be activated from the disabled list Friday, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.
Forsythe was pulled from Wednesday's rehab game after just one at-bat with hamstring tightness, so it isn't too surprising that he won't be activated Friday. It's unclear how long this latest ailment will set Forsythe back, though he was originally scheduled for three rehab games and only made it through one, so it could be a little while before he is back.

Pirates' Adam Frazier: May need more time off
The Pirates haven't decided whether Frazier (hamstring) will go on a rehab stint prior to coming off the disabled list. He was initially expected to miss no more than 10 days, the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports.
Head trainer Todd Tomczyk said Wednesday that Frazier has re-engaged back into baseball activity such as fielding groundballs, taking batting practice and running and jogging. "We are still in the early stages of seeing how his body responds to that," Tomczyk said. It's looking like Frazier could miss at least part of the weekend series against Milwaukee.

Brandon Drury 2B | KC
Diamondbacks' Brandon Drury: Not included in Thursday order
Drury is not in the Diamondbacks' Thursday lineup against the Nationals.
The infielder has finally started to show a bit of thump recently but won't get a chance to build on it against Washington's Max Scherzer. Daniel Descalso will take Drury's spot at second base Thursday.

Dodgers' Logan Forsythe: Exits rehab game early
Forsythe (toe) was lifted prematurely from Wednesday's rehab game, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.
Forsythe lasted just one at-bat before being forced out of the game with an apparent injury. There is no word on the specifics of the injury yet, but it appears this possible setback could delay his return to the Dodgers. More should be known about his status in the coming days, so expect an update when further information is available.

Yangervis Solarte 2B | SD
Padres' Yangervis Solarte: Ends power drought Tuesday
Solarte went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's win over the Rockies.
Solarte snapped a 21-game homerless streak Tuesday, taking Tyler Chatwood deep in the sixth. The veteran second baseman has been hitting well early on, batting .282 through 28 games. The power is the only part of his game that hasn't come along yet (only eight of 29 hits have gone for extra bases), but Tuesday's long ball could get him back on track in that department. After hitting 15 home runs in 443 plate appearances last season, there is a realistic chance that the 29-year-old could reach the 20-homer mark over the course of a full season.

Isan Diaz 2B | DET
Brewers' Isan Diaz: Picks up the pace at the plate
Diaz homered in a game with High-A Carolina on Monday for the second straight day, extending his hitting streak to 11 games in the process.
Diaz owned just a .507 OPS when play came to a close April 20, but he has picked things up in a big way since, totaling four home runs and 14 RBI during his hitting streak. Thanks to his hot streak, he now owns a .788 OPS through 24 games this season.

Logan Forsythe 2B | LAD
Dodgers' Logan Forsythe: Will need some rehab games
Forsythe (toe) will need two or three rehab games before rejoining the Dodgers, SB Nation's Eric Stephen reports.
Prior reports said Forsythe would be activated Friday, when he's eligible to return from the 10-day disabled list. While that's still a possibility, manager Dave Roberts said there's no plan to rush him back, so Forsythe will get all the time he needs to recover. It's starting to look like he won't return until next week.
