Tomlinson went 1-for-2 with three walks, a stolen base, an RBI and a run scored against the Phillies on Saturday.

The speedy infielder swiped his eighth base of the season and second in as many days. Tomlinson has collected a hit in all six of the games he has started in place of the injured Joe Panik (concussion), scoring six times over that span despite batting eighth in the order. Panik doesn't have a definitive timetable to return from his concussion, so Tomlinson should continue to provide value in the speed categories until he returns.

Solarte went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Nationals.

Saturday's home run was the veteran infielder's third since returning from the disabled list July 30. Solarte is just two homers shy of the career high mark of 15 he set in 2016 despite playing in just 90 games so far this season. He continues to provide modest fantasy value due to his multi-position eligibility and placement in the heart of the Padres' lineup.

Frazier went 3-for-4 with a double and a two-run homer Saturday against the Cardinals.

Frazier's fourth homer of the season gave the Pirates a second-inning lead they'd never relinquish. Although he doesn't provide much power, his .284 batting average along with eight steals are his most valuable fantasy assets.

Polanco is not in the lineup for Game 2 of Thursday's doubleheader against the Indians, Phil Miller of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Polanco will head to the bench for a breather after going 2-for-4 with an RBI in Game 1. Ehire Adrianza will take over for him at shortstop, batting ninth.

Arroyo will be out for the rest of the 2017 season after suffering a broken left hand in early July, Amy Gutierrez of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Arroyo was expected to be out until the beginning of September, but with the minor-league season winding to an end, the club will shut him down and let the prospect rest up before winter ball. During 34 games with the Giants this season he hit .192 with three home runs and 14 RBI, but dominated the competition at the Triple-A level, slashing .396/.461/.604 with Sacramento.

Hernandez started in left and batted cleanup Wednesday, going 1-for-2 with a walk and a solo home run in a 5-4 win over the White Sox.

Hernandez continues to torment left-handed starters this season, batting .259 with 10 homers in just 116 at-bats against southpaws. The 25-year-old's inability to hit righties (.185 with one homer in 119 at-bats) limits his value to daily fantasy formats when he is in the lineup. The Dodgers aren't scheduled to face any lefties in their next 10 contests, so Hernandez will be confined to a bench role for the foreseeable future.

Andrus went 3-for-5 with a home run, a walk, three runs scored, four RBI and a steal in Wednesday's 12-6 win over the Tigers.

Andrus broke a 4-4 tie in the fifth inning with his 16th home run of the season and drove in two more runs with a single one inning later before adding another RBI single in the seventh. The veteran shortstop has made great advancements in the power department, already doubling last season's previous best of eight long balls in 32 fewer games while blowing his career .368 slugging percentage out of the water with a .483 mark. That extra pop hasn't come at the cost of his trademark speed, as Andrus' steal was his 23rd.

Drury went 0-for-2 with two walks and an RBI in Tuesday's 9-4 loss to the Astros.

With primary second baseman Daniel Descalso struggling to produce in August, manager Torey Lovullo decided to deploy Drury in the lineup instead against the right-handed Brad Peacock. It wasn't an overwhelming performance from Drury, but he at least excelled in working the count Tuesday, seeing 19 pitches on the evening. Drury will likely need a few more solid showings before emerging as the preferred option in the timeshare at the keystone.

Rosario went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Yankees.

The opposite-field blast came on a hanging slider by Aroldis Chapman and nearly completed an impressive comeback for the Mets. The rookie shortstop now has a .255/.271/.489 slash line through 14 games in the majors, as five of Rosario's first 12 hits have gone for extra bases (one double, two triples, two homers).

Solarte got another start at short Tuesday, going 2-for-3 with a double, a walk, an RBI and a pair of runs scored in a win over the Phillies.

Solarte had been serving a utility-infield role since returning from the disabled list on July 30, but with two consecutive starts at shortstop, he appears to have surpassed the struggling Dusty Coleman on the depth chart. The 30-year-old is slashing a healthy .308/.357/.462 since rejoining the Padres, and adding shortstop eligibility can only increase his current fantasy value.
