Marte (thumb) was placed on the 15-day DL on Sunday, Bob Dutton of the Tacoma News Tribune reports.

Marte suffered the thumb sprain Saturday, and although he was initially expected to miss a few games, a DL stint had not necessarily been in consideration. Now, the Mariners will make it official, calling up shortstop Chris Taylor to take his roster spot. While Taylor travels, the Mariners will award Shawn O'Malley the starting nod at shortstop Sunday.

Marte (thumb) is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds, according to Bob Dutton of The Tacoma News Tribune.

Marte injured his thumb in Saturday's game in Cincinnati, and the setback is not initially believed to be serious. However, he will miss at least one game due to the setback, and sit out Sunday for the first time since April 20. Shawn O'Malley will get the start at shortstop in Marte's place.

Adames went 1-for-2 with a two-run homer in Saturday's 5-1 victory over the Pirates.

The 24-year-old blasted a two-out, two-run shot off reliever Jared Hughes, adding to the Rockies' lead and marking the first time he'd gone deep in 106 major league at-bats. Despite the positive development, Adames is receiving limited playing time, and only slashing .184/.262/.263 in 38 at-bats this season.

Andrus went 1-for-4 with a solo homer Saturday at the Astros.

Andrus' first homer gave the Rangers a lead in the second inning that they'd never relinquish. He's now hit safely in seven straight games, and he's slashing .290/.338/.406.

Marte (thumb) is only expected to miss a few games after injuring his thumb Saturday against the Reds, Bob Dutton of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

X-rays have come back negative on Marte's thumb, so fortunately nothing is broke. He is still expected to miss a few games however, as the Mariners will likely be conservative. Shawn O'Malley should fill in for him at shortstop while he is out.

Solarte (hamstring) was activated from the disabled list Saturday.

Solarte will rejoin the Padres after a two rehab starts with Triple-A El Paso. He went 5-for-7 with one double and two triples during his time in Triple-A. Jose Pirela has been optioned to make room for Solarte.

Marte exited Saturday's game with a sprained left thumb, but the Mariners have yet to announce the severity of the injury, Bob Dutton of the News Tribune reports.

Marte was replaced at shortstop by Shawn O'Malley after he appeared to jam his hand while stealing second base in the top of the fifth. There's still no word on whether Marte will need to miss additional time beyond Saturday, but if he does, O'Malley would likely continue to serve as his replacement at shortstop.

Tomlinson will get the start in left field for Saturday's contest with the Cubs.

Tomlinson will make his first start of the season in left field. He has been seeing the ball well recently; going 6-for-8 over his last five games. He will bat third in the order Saturday, and will square off against the left-handed Jon Lester. He is slashing an impressive .419/.484/.938 in 31 at-bats against southpaws this season.

Drury went 1-for-4 with a solo homer and a walk against the Cardinals on Friday.

Drury's seventh home run of the year came in the ninth inning to give the Diamondbacks a nine-run lead in a winning effort. He has only two extra-base hits in his last 11 games, though his slugging percentage is .547.

Hernandez is in the lineup for Friday's matchup with the Padres.

Hernandez will start in left field and bat leadoff in Friday's series opener in San Diego. It will be his first start since May 12. He is hitting .242 with two home runs in 39 at-bats against left-handers this season.
