Solarte (oblique) was activated from the 10-day disabled list Sunday, Hazel Mae of Sportsnet reports.

Solarte wound up missing just under a month of action due to a Grade 2 oblique strain. With Josh Donaldson (calf) out of town, Solarte appears to hold regular playing time at third base. However, for Sunday's contest, Solarte will man the keystone and bat seventh.

McNeil went 3-for-5 with a triple and two runs scored in Saturday's 10-5 win over the Phillies.

It's his third straight contest with an extra-base hit, and McNeil has pushed his slash line with the Mets back up to .329/.389/.483 through 43 games. The 26-year-old rookie appears to be locking down a starting role at the keystone for 2019 with his impressive debut.

Manager John Gibbons said Saturday that Solarte (oblique) may return from the 10-day disabled list Sunday, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Though Solarte might be back on the active roster as soon as Sunday for the series finale against Cleveland, he could require a bit more time to recover from this oblique issue before taking the field. Gibbons added that Tuesday is also being targeted for Solarte's reinstatement if the infielder isn't feeling ready by Sunday.

Urias is out of the lineup against Cincinnati on Saturday.

Urias will retreat to the bench for a standard day off following 10 straight starts after being called up in late August. During those contests, he's gone 7-for-39 (.179 average) with one home run and three RBI. Cory Spangenberg will man the keystone and bat seventh.

Forsythe went 1-for-4 with a walk, an RBI and three runs in Friday's win over the Royals.

Forsythe has cooled a bit after starting off pretty strong with his new club at the beginning of August, hitting just .226 with three RBI over his last 15 games. He is, however, still slashing .298/.394/.342 with 11 RBI and 14 runs scored in 32 games for the Twins since the trade. The increased playing time in Minnesota ups his value, but only by rather minimal degrees.

Torres went 1-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in the Yankees' 4-0 win over the Mariners on Friday.

The impressive rookie campaign continued for Torres on Friday night, as he got the scoring started for the Yankees with a two-run blast off James Paxton in the second inning. His batting average now sits at .277 for the season, along with 23 home runs and 68 RBI.

Semien went 2-for-2 with a home run, a single, two walks and two RBI in Friday's win over the Rangers.

Semien's perfect night at the plate was highlighted by a two-run homer in the second inning off Rangers' starter Yovani Gallardo. The 27-year-old shortstop now has at least one hit in nine of his last 11 games and bumped his season average up to .262 with Friday's performance.

Marte is not in the lineup Friday against the Braves.

Marte is hitting .324 over his last 10 games. He'll head to the bench in favor of Daniel Descalso.

Rosario is not starting Friday against the Phillies.

Rosario is riding an eight-game hitting streak in which he's hit .432 with a 1.015 OPS. Jose Reyes will start in his place at shortstop.

Frazier is not in Friday's lineup against the Marlins.

Frazier, who has been the Bucs' most productive hitter over the last month, will sit out in favor of rookie Kevin Kramer. Frazier appeared to tweak a calf muscle during one of his at-bats Wednesday, but the team hasn't announced an injury. He has two hits in six career at-bats against starter, Dan Straily. Most likely, manager Clint Hurdle is simply packaging an off day with Friday's game to give the 26-year-old two consecutive days of rest.
