Estrada has been called up to the Yankees to replace the injured Troy Tulowitzki (calf), Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

With Tulowitzki forced from the Yankees' Wednesday game against the Tigers with a strained left calf and headed to the injured list, New York has called up Estrada to take the roster spot of the veteran shortstop. The 23-year-old has no big-league experience and doesn't figure to see much playing time barring another injury. He did have a solid spring training at the dish, with a .286/.394/.464 slash line over 28 at-bats.

Beckham went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 2-1 win over the Yankees.

Making only his second start of the season, Beckham cracked an eighth-inning shot off Chad Green which proved to be the difference in the game. The 32-year-old hadn't homered in the majors since 2016, and he has limited fantasy value in his utility role for the Tigers. If injuries open up a path to more consistent playing time for him he might be rosterable in deeper AL-only formats.

Albies is starting at second base and hitting leadoff Wednesday against the Cubs.

Albies hit sixth in each of the first four games of the season, but he'll jump to the top of the order Wednesday with regular leadoff man Ender Inciarte getting the day off. The youngster is 6-for-14 with a pair of doubles and a 3:1 BB:K through four games this season and could continue to fill in atop the order when Inciarte is out of the lineup.

McNeil is dealing with a minor knee injury, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

McNeil's knee is apparently "banged up," which helps explain his absence from Wednesday's lineup. Fortunately, the issue doesn't appear to be anything overly serious, as the utility man is available to pinch hit if needed.

McNeil is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Marlins.

McNeil will give way to J.D. Davis at the hot corner Wednesday with right-hander Trevor Richards -- who holds reverse splits -- toeing the rubber for the Marlins. Through five games this season, the utility man is 6-for-15 with a trio of extra-base hits and a 2:2 BB:K.

Marte is starting in center field and hitting second Wednesday against the Padres.

Marte has primarily hit sixth this season, but he'll jump to the two hole for Wednesday's series finale after going 7-for-14 with a pair of extra-base hits and a pair of stolen bases over his last three games. Eduardo Escobar drops to fifth in the order as a result.

Lowe is 4-for-7 with a home run, two RBI, a walk and two runs over the last two games after starting the season 0-for-9.

After a 2-for-4 night Monday that included a two-run home run, Lowe entered Tuesday's game after Daniel Robertson was pulled due to illness. Lowe responded with a 2-for-3 effort during which he also walked. The promising 24-year-old is projected to continue seeing regular playing time while Joey Wendle (hamstring) remains on the shelf.

Drury will head to the bench for the first time this season Wednesday against the Orioles.

Drury has gone 6-for-25 at the plate through six games. Richard Urena picks up the start at third base in his absence.

Marte went 2-for-5 with a solo homer in an 8-5 victory against the Padres on Tuesday.

The 25-year-old went hitless in the first two games of the season, but he's recorded multiple hits in each of his last three contests, going 7-for-14 (.500) with two extra-base knocks. Marte is hitting .296 with a homer, a triple, six RBI and two steals in six games this season.

Rosario went 1-for-4 with a double, a walk, two RBI and a stolen base Tuesday against the Marlins.

Rosario played a big part in the Met's first-inning explosion, driving a two-RBI double to left field. He later reached base on a walk and subsequently stole second base, his first of the season. After leading off Monday, Rosario was back to batting seventh Tuesday and he continues to bat primarily toward the bottom of the solid Mets lineup.
