Rays second baseman Logan Forsythe left Tuesday's game against the Marlins with a bruised right foot, Roger Mooney of the Tampa Tribune reports.

An Adam Conley pitch plunked Forsythe on the foot in the first, and while he was able to stay in the game initially, Forsythe was ultimately lifted for Tim Beckham after the second inning. It sounds like Forsythe was fortunate enough to escape without any serious damage to the foot, though it's always possible the Rays could opt to send him for additional testing.

Rays second baseman Logan Forsythe left Tuesday's game against the Marlins after being hit by a pitch on his right foot, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

He took his base after being hit by the Adam Conley pitch, and then played the field in the top of the second, but Forsythe was ultimately lifted for Tim Beckham prior to the start of the third inning. Forsythe's status for the final two games of the series is up in the air.

Yangervis Solarte is in the Padres' lineup Tuesday and will play third base.

As expected, Solarte will make his return from a hamstring injury that has limited him to pinch-hit appearances in three of his last four games. He'll bat second behind newly-returning first baseman Wil Myers when the Padres take on Brewers' rookie righty Jorge Lopez.

Phillies infielder Andres Blanco was a late scratch from Tuesday's lineup, Stephen Gross of The Morning Call reports.

Blanco was terrific Monday, recording three hits --- one of which was a home run ---- in six at-bats against the Nationals, but he will get the night off Tuesday in favor of Darnell Sweeney, who will take over at second base and hit sixth in the lineup.

The Dodgers activated infielder Enrique Hernandez (hamstring) from the disabled list Monday, Bill Plunkett of the Orange County Register reports. 

Hernandez is ready to go after missing a month with his hamstring injury. He will not start Monday, though, and will likely fill mainly a situational role the rest of the way.

Rockies infielder Cristhian Adames was removed from Sunday's game against the Dodgers in the second inning due to a neck bruise and a right index finger bruise, the Associated Press reports.

Adames suffered the pair of contusions when he collided with the Dodgers' Joc Pederson while covering third base. The Rockies had been using Adames as their regular shortstop the last few days with Jose Reyes (Achilles) recovering from an injury of his own. If both players are unavailable for Tuesday's series opener in Arizona, Rafael Ynoa or Daniel Descalso would likely get the start at short.

Mariners shortstop Ketel Marte hit his first career home run in a 1 for 4 effort in a loss to the Angels on Saturday.

Marte has solidified a very nice role with the Mariners starting every day and batting atop the lineup. With the speed and average he provides out of the shortstop position, he'll definitely be worth keeping an eye on in fantasy drafts next season. In 50 games played this season, Marte has a .288 average to go with 14 doubles and seven steals.

Astros second baseman Jose Altuve showed no ill effects from Friday's collision with Carlos Correa, going 2 for 4 Saturday with a walk and two solo shots, giving him 14 home runs on the season.

Correa cranked two home runs of his own in the game, but the Astros aren't likely to encourage their two star middle infielders to bump into each other again looking for a repeat performance. Altuve's 14 homers double his previous career high, but his .315 batting average and 38 steals are right in line with expectations.

Utility man Enrique Hernandez (hamstring) will join the Dodgers for the series in San Francisco next week, the Los Angeles Times' Dylan Hernandez reports.

The Dodgers have maintained that Hernandez would return this season, and it looks like that could happen as soon as Monday. That said, there won't be an everyday role for him and there are precious few games remaining on the schedule, so he probably won't be a big-time difference maker in fantasy leagues.

Astros second baseman Jose Altuve (head) is still in the lineup for the key battle Saturday against Texas after leaving Friday due to a collision.

Altuve took a forearm to the head in the frightening crash, but he showed no concussion-like symptoms after the game and should be considered good to go as the Astros continue battling for a playoff spot.
