Guillorme was optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Guillorme has not had a hit since June 2 and made two errors in Monday's contest, so the Mets decided to send him back to Las Vegas to iron things out. Relief pitcher Gerson Bautista was called up to take Guillorme's spot on the roster.

Barreto went 2-for-4 with a game-tying RBI double in a win over the Tigers on Monday. He is now hitting .333 (8-for-24) with two doubles, three home runs, 10 RBI and five runs over his last six games.

It's a particularly welcome stretch of success at the plate for Barreto, who'd slashed just .197/.250/.352 in his initial big-league cup of coffee in 2017, and who'd gone 1-for-14 over the first six games in which he'd logged an at-bat with the Athletics this season. The 22-year-old has a long way to go in terms of plate discipline, however, as he's drawn just one walk while already striking out 13 times over his first 39 plate appearances.

Albies went 3-for-6 with two doubles, a home run, two runs scored and two RBI in an extra-innings win over the Reds.

His 17th homer of the season was a particularly dramatic one, as Albies launched a walkoff shot in the bottom of the 11th inning. The 21-year-old is red hot once again, reeling off four straight multi-hit games and slashing .345/.367/.603 over his last 13 games with three home runs, six doubles and 11 RBI.

Hernandez went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Monday's 2-1 victory over the Cubs.

Hernandez followed up his two-homer performance Sunday with his 13th long ball of the season. Chris Taylor (hamstring) -- whose injury Hernandez has benefited from -- also homered off the bench, but manager Dave Roberts said that the former may not be ready to return Tuesday, according to Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times. If that scenario holds true, Hernandez should continue to see starts at short while Taylor mends on the bench.

Forsythe is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Cubs.

Forsythe has seen the bulk of the starts at the keystone in June, but that could be changing, as he will open on the bench Monday for the third time in four games. Max Muncy will play second base for the Dodgers on Tuesday night.

Rosario is not in the lineup Monday for the second straight day.

Jose Reyes went 0-for-5 Sunday starting in Rosario's place, but manager Mickey Callaway apparently decided to give Rosario a couple days off in a row in an effort to get him turned around the plate.

Hernandez went 3-for-6 with two home runs, three runs and two RBI in Sunday's game against the Mets.

He is making the most of this increased playing time and is 7-for-21 with five runs over his last five games. Chris Taylor missed the weekend series with a hamstring issue but is still considered day-to-day. Once Taylor returns, Hernandez should see a slight decrease in playing time.

Merrifield is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros, Maria Torres of The Kansas City Star reports.

This was described as a rest day by Torres -- nothing to suggest the left knee is still an issue. Merrifield hasn't homered since May 14 and is well off his power pace from a season ago, but he continues to hit for average and run, with his 16 steals ranking second in the American League. Adalberto Mondesi will get the start at second base in Merrifield's absence Sunday as Rosell Herrera leads off.

Andrus is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.

It seems the Rangers are just being cautious and easing Andrus back into regular action coming off the lengthy disabled list stint. He's 2-for-21 in five games out of the two hole since his reinstatement, but he's also walked three times. Jurickson Profar will step in at shortstop in the series finale.

Rosario is not in the lineup Sunday against the Dodgers, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

The young shortstop had hit in eight straight games before going hitless Saturday. Jose Reyes will start in his place Sunday. Rosario will reportedly sit for a few days as a breather, Matt Ehalt of The Bergen Record reports.
