Frazier was placed on the 10-day disabled list Monday with a hamstring strain.

Frazier was hitting .306 with a home run and five RBI through 15 games this season. Pitching prospect Dovydas Neverauskas has been promoted from Triple-A to fill his roster spot. It's unclear how long Frazier will be sidelined with the injury, though more should be known once the Pirates update his status. For the time being, Jose Osuna should see most of the reps in right field, but an outside move could be in the making if Frazier needs to miss extended time.

Arroyo had his contract purchased from Triple-A Sacramento on Monday, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Arroyo will join the Giants as Aaron Hill heads to the disabled list in a corresponding move. He's set to bat sixth and play third base in his big-league debut Monday. The Giants' top prospect has been mashing in Triple-A this season, working a triple slash of .446/.478/.692 through 69 at-bats (16 games). It's unclear how long he'll remain with the big club, but if his production is able to carry over, it will be difficult to keep his bat out of the majors.

Frazier is out of the lineup Monday against the Cubs.

The Pirates are facing a left-handed starter for the second day in a row, so Frazier will once again cede duties in right field to Jose Osuna. Frazier should still be on tap to serve as the club's leadoff hitter against right-handed pitching for the duration of Starling Marte's (suspension) absence.

Dubon has gone 14-for-40 (.350) with a home run, seven RBI and six stolen bases over his last 10 games with Double-A Biloxi.

Dubon tallied just five hits and one steal over his first seven games of the season, but it didn't take him long to get on track. He's playing for the Brewers for the first time this year after being acquired from the Red Sox during the offseason, and Dubon is considered one of the better prospects in a quality farm system.

Green was outrighted to Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday, Chelsea Janes of the Washington Post reports.

The Nats designated Green for assignment earlier in the week but Green will remain in the Washington system, having passed through waivers unclaimed. A first-round pick in 2009, Green is merely an organizational depth piece. He has totaled 353 plate appearances in parts of five seasons at the major-league level (97 plate appearances since the start of the 2015 season).

Frazier is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.

With left-hander Jordan Montgomery toeing the rubber for the Yankees on Sunday, Frazier will head to the bench in favor of the right-handed hitting Jose Osuna.

The Mets have no intentions of immediately promoting Rosario, despite his hot start, the team's myriad of injuries and Jose Reyes' slump, Newsday reports.

Rosario is slashing .387/.418/.435 while also playing solid defense at short and seeing time at third base. The Mets are reluctant to promote him too soon before he might be ready. In addition, by waiting, the Mets also would be able to delay his arbitration and free agency rights an extra year. But if he continues to rake at the plate and the team continues to struggle, the Mets' view may be forced to change.

Drury is out of Saturday's lineup against the Dodgers.

He has started 16 of the first 19 games of the season, hitting .293/.339/.379, and has not yet hit a home run or successfully stolen a base (0-for-1). Daniel Descalso will start at second base and hit sixth.

Frazier will leadoff and play second base Saturday against the Yankees.

Frazier is hitting .286 in 45 at-bats but has just one hit in 10 at-bats since April 16. His defense remains an issue, but he'll get a chance with righty Michael Pineda on the mound for New York. Frazier will be making his fifth appearance at second base in 2017, increasing his positional eligibility in some leagues.

Drury went 2-for-3 with a double, two walks and two runs scored in Friday's 13-5 win over the Dodgers.

It's the first multi-hit outing for Drury since April 8, concluding a 10-game stretch where he'd gone just 5-for-36 at the dish. In collecting two walks as well Friday, Drury matched his combined output from his previous 15 games this season. The Diamondbacks would probably like to see Drury show some improved plate discipline, but he's still fairly secure in his everyday starting role at second base.
