Guillorme was sent to Triple-A Syracuse on Monday.

Guillorme has appeared in just eight games for the Mets this season, going 1-for-9 with a 1:4 BB:K in those contests. With Todd Frazier (oblique) nearing a return, the utility infielder will head back to the minors. Drew Gagnon was recalled from Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Semien went 3-for-5 with a two-run double and a run in a loss to the Rangers on Sunday.

The career .251 hitter is due for some regression, but Semien has undeniably enjoyed a torrid first three weeks-plus to open the season. The 28-year-old now owns a seven-game hitting streak, and he's reached safely in 11 consecutive games overall. His two RBI on Sunday also give him seven over the last five contests, and he already boasts nine extra-base hits (six doubles, three home runs) over his first 83 plate appearances of 2019.

Lowe went 2-for-4 with an RBI single, a walk and a stolen base in a win over the Blue Jays on Sunday.

Lowe's torrid April continued with his fifth multi-hit effort of the month. The 24-year-old has wowed with tape-measure home runs, but he's also checked off plenty of other boxes. Lowe has drawn five walks, laced three doubles and swiped a pair of bags during April while knocking in 10 runs. Lowe's body of work is already affording him regular playing time, and Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports that Joey Wendle's impending return from a hamstring injury will allow Lowe to resume working at first base.

Albies went 2-for-5 with a triple, two runs scored and a stolen base in Sunday's win over the Mets.

With Ender Inciarte struggling, Albies got a chance to lead off against one of the top right-handed pitchers in baseball in Jacob deGrom, and the 22-year-old didn't look fazed at all. Albies is now slashing .328/.397/.459 through 15 games, and while he isn't showing the power he did early last season, his three steals and 7:8 BB:K are marked improvements on 2018. Don't be surprised if he takes over table-setting duties for Atlanta on a full-time basis.

Marte went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 8-4 win over San Diego.

Marte gave the Diamondbacks their first lead, one they never relinquished, with his third-inning homer, his fourth of the season. He didn't hit his fourth last year until June 10. A look at his batted-ball numbers indicates the 25-year-old has adjusted his launch angle. Marte went from a 29% flyball rate in 2018 to 43.4% this season. That's helped fuel his .508 slugging percentage and .254 ISO.

Beckham went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's game against the Twins.

Beckham tied the game with a two-run blast to center in the second inning, but the Twins would respond with a run of their own in the bottom half of the frame and never looked back. The 32-year-old's playing time has been sporadic through the first few weeks of 2019, and he's 3-for-17 with two homers and three RBI over seven games.

Frazier went 2-for-3 with a double, walk and two runs against Washington on Sunday.

He's hit leadoff while playing second base exclusively, even though the team could have moved him to center field when Starling Marte missed time with a migraine. Frazier is slashing .296/.377/.426 with one homer and two stolen bases in 62 plate appearances.

Andrus went 3-for-4 with a walk, a home run, two RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base in Sunday's 8-7 win over the Athletics.

Andrus got involved immediately with a two-run triple in the first inning and, after Nomar Mazara was hit by a pitch, stole home on Oakland starter Brett Anderson's slow pickoff move to first base. He later helped fuel Texas' come-from-behind win with a solo home run in the seventh. This was the fourth consecutive multi-hit game for Andrus, whose .414 batting average ranks third in MLB.

Albies is starting at second base and batting leadoff Sunday night against the Mets, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Albies has largely been limited to leadoff duties against southpaws thus far but finds himself at the top of the lineup Sunday against reigning NL Cy Young winner Jacob deGrom. Manager Brian Snitker indicated following Saturday's game that the 22-year-old could get a look as the everyday leadoff hitter and followed through on that notion Sunday. The move certainly makes sense given the early-season results, as Albies is slashing .282/.391/.359 with a 7:6 BB:K through 46 plates appearances against right-handed pitching.

Hernandez is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.

Hernandez will head to the bench after starting the last three games and going 2-for-11 with a two-run home run. Chris Taylor will start at the keystone and bat seventh in the series finale versus Milwaukee.
