Eddie Rosario - Ready to go MondayRosario (hamstring) is starting at designated hitter and batting sixth Monday versus the Pirates.

ImpactRosario is back in the starting lineup after sitting Sunday's contest with a sore hamstring. The injury may prevent Rosario from playing left field for a few days, but he should be capable of seeing regular starts at DH against right-handed pitching while he waits for the soreness in his hamstring to dissipate. The 30-year-old has batted .250 with a home run, two RBI, three runs and a stolen base over his last 10 games.

Chas McCormick - Riding five-game hitting streakMcCormick went 1-for-3 with a walk, a run scored, and a stolen base Sunday against Atlanta.

ImpactMcCormick earned his fifth start in a row and has tallied a hit in each game. In that stretch, he's maintained a .350 batting average with one home run, six RBI and four runs scored. In addition to the playing time security stemming from his strong play, McCormick should be helped by the absence of Aledmys Diaz (groin).

Jake Meyers - Swipes first bagMeyers went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base Sunday against Atlanta.

ImpactMeyers recently lost out on regular playing time after falling into a lengthy slump, as he's hit only .188 with four RBI and two runs scored in 23 games since the All-Star break. However, the team was without Jose Altuve (shoulder) on Sunday and Aledmys Diaz (groin) is on the injured list. If Altuve remains out, that could open up regular playing time once again for Meyers.

Ryan Goins - Loses 40-man spotAtlanta designated Goins for assignment Monday.

ImpactAs anticipated, Goins' stay on the 40-man roster was a brief one, as he lost his spot Monday with Atlanta bringing back Ehire Adrianza (illness) from the 10-day injured list. While serving as a utility man during his six-day stint with Atlanta, the 34-year-old Goins didn't see any game action.

Ehire Adrianza - Comes off ILAtlanta reinstated Adrianza (illness) from the 10-day injured list Monday.

ImpactThe club designated infielder Ryan Goins for assignment to clear room on the active roster for Adrianza, who should step back in as Atlanta's top utility infielder. The role is unlikely to translate to steady playing time for Adrianza, who is expected to play sparingly while Atlanta leans heavily on the likes of Dansby Swanson, Vaughn Grissom and Austin Riley in the infield as the team aims to chase down the Mets for the National League East crown.
