Rosario went 5-for-5 with two home runs and five RBI in Tuesday's win over the Royals.

The 25-year-old powered the offense in this one, cracking an inside-the-park home run in the first inning, a two-RBI single in the fifth inning and a two-run blast in the seventh inning. Rosario batted .372 in the month of August with four homers and 20 RBI. He has had a strong first season with Cleveland, batting .290 with 10 long balls and 12 steals in 120 games.

Albies had X-rays on his left knee come back negative after leaving Tuesday's game against the Dodgers.

Atlanta will breathe a sigh of relief thanks to the X-ray results after Albies fouled a pitch off his left knee and was carried off the field during the fifth inning Tuesday. The 24-year-old has avoided a fracture, but he seems unlikely to be in the lineup for Wednesday's series finale in Los Angeles, and it's unclear whether he'll require a trip to the injured list.

Albies was helped off the field during Tuesday's game against the Dodgers after fouling a ball off his left knee, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Albies was on the ground in significant pain after fouling the pitch off himself before being carried off the field during the fifth inning. It's potentially a major loss for Atlanta, which has already lost Ronald Acuna for the season with a torn ACL. The specifics of the injury remain unclear, though based on his initial reaction Albies is unlikely to be in the lineup Wednesday, even if it's not a serious issue.

Wong was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake on Tuesday.

Wong was promoted Monday and will return to the minors without appearing in a game. He's appeared in 20 major-league games this season and is hitting .171/.190/.268 in 45 plate appearances.

Urias is out of the lineup Tuesday against the Giants.

The 24-year-old started the past 11 games -- the last six of which came at shortstop -- and will head to the bench Tuesday with Willy Adames (quadriceps) returning to action. Urias should see most of his playing time at third base until Eduardo Escobar (hamstring) returns from the injured list, though Jace Peterson is starting at the hot corner Tuesday.

Arauz (undisclosed) is starting at second base and batting ninth Tuesday against the Rays, Julian McWilliams of The Boston Globe reports.

Arauz sat out Monday's contest after leaving with an apparent injury Sunday, but he's ready to play after one day out of the lineup. The 23-year-old should continue to see plenty of action at the keystone while Enrique Hernandez (illness) and Christian Arroyo (illness) remain on the COVID-19 IL.

Drury was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday.

The 29-year-old had only 24 at-bats over 19 games in August, and he'll head to the minors with Luis Guillorme (hamstring) returning from the injured list. Drury has a .277/.310/.482 slash line in 87 plate appearances for the Mets this season, and he could rejoin the big-league club down the stretch.

The Mets activated Guillorme (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

The infielder returns after missing a month with a strained left hamstring. Javier Baez and Francisco Lindor's returns will restrict Guillorme to a bench role despite his impressive .293/.406/.345 slash line in 139 plate appearances this season. He takes the roster spot of Brandon Drury, whom the Mets optioned Tuesday.

Chavis was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a right elbow strain, Rob Biertempfel of The Athletic reports.

Chavis will miss the first week of September, if not longer, after exiting Saturday's game with the elbow injury. The infielder had gotten off to a hot start with his new team, going 8-for-22 with a home run, two doubles and two RBI in six games. Hoy Park was recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis to share the playing time at second base with Cole Tucker and Wilmer Difo until Chavis returns.

Rojas is not in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Padres.

Rojas will sit for the second time in four games after walking and scoring a run in Monday's series opener. Andrew Young is set to start at second base and bat sixth.
