Garcia was recalled from Triple-A Rochester on Wednesday, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

The 21-year-old had a brief stay in the majors in mid-June and will rejoin the big-league club Wednesday after Trea Turner tested positive for COVID-19. Garcia could see some playing time until Turner is cleared to rejoin the team, though his exact role may not come into focus for a bit until the extent of the potential COVID outbreak is known.

Guillorme isn't in the lineup Wednesday against Atlanta, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Guillorme has hit .355 with a home run, two doubles, five runs and three RBI in 12 games since the All-Star break, and he'll get a breather Wednesday. Jonathan Villar will start at shortstop and bat seventh.

Frazier will start at second base and bat leadoff Wednesday against the Athletics, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Since acquiring Frazier from the Pirates on Sunday, the Padres have wasted little time in carving out a meaningful role. He started in left field and led off in Tuesday's 7-4 win against Oakland right-hander James Kaprielian, finishing the night 2-for-5 with two runs. The lefty-hitting Frazier will move to second base for the series finale, this time facing off against southpaw Sean Manaea. He looks set to serve as a full-time leadoff man for San Diego.

Lowe went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Yankees.

The 27-year-old remains locked in. Over his last 20 games, Lowe is slashing .308/.423/.738 with eight of his career-high 22 homers on the year, a far cry from the .202/.313/.405 line he sported up to that point.

Drury went 3-for-3 with a two-run home run and a second run scored in Tuesday's 12-5 loss to Atlanta.

The veteran utility player didn't even start the game, instead coming on in the fourth inning as part of a double switch and still getting in a full night's worth of production. Drury has been a useful spare part for the Mets this season, slashing .265/.294/.490 with three homers through 51 plate appearances.

McNeil went 2-for-5 with a double and a two-run home run in Tuesday's 12-5 loss to Atlanta.

His fifth-inning blast off Charlie Morton was too little too late, as the Mets were already in a 10-1 hole. McNeil extended his hitting streak to 13 games with the performance, and he's slashing .362/.423/.574 over that stretch with eight runs and 10 RBI in addition to two of his five homers on the year.

Albies went 1-for-4 with a walk, a two-run home run and a second run scored in Tuesday's 12-5 win over the Mets.

It's only his second long ball in July, although both have come in the last five games. On the season, Albies is slashing .258/.319/.494 with 17 homers, 13 steals, 63 runs and 68 RBI through 100 contests.

Ibanez started at second base and went 0-for-2 with two walks in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Diamondbacks.

Ibanez has started at second base for all four games since Nick Solak was sent down to the minors. Texas manager Chris Woodward said over the weekend that he wasn't referring to Ibanez as the team's regular second baseman, but it looks like he's filling that role for the moment.

Rojas (finger) has experienced increased range of motion and better grip strength, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.

Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said Rojas is close to having a bat in his hand and taking swings. The utility infielder/outfielder landed on the injured list with a dislocation of his left pinkie finger retroactive to July 22, putting him in line to be activated early next week.

Marte (hamstring) went 0-for-2 with a walk for the Arizona Complex League D-backs on Tuesday.

Marte, who has been on the injured list since June 27, initiated a rehab assignment Tuesday, playing five innings in center field and getting three plate appearances. He had been scheduled to begin the assignment Monday, but instead he got seven at-bats in a "B" game at the team's training complex. It's unclear how many at-bats the club wants Marte to get while on assignment.
