India went 2-for-5 with a home run, two runs scored, two RBI and a stolen base in Wednesday's 11-7 win over the Blue Jays in Toronto.

The Reds found themselves in a 6-0 hole after three innings, but by the time India launched back-to-back homers with Noelvi Marte to lead off the top of the sixth, the visitors held a 9-6 lead. Cincinnati's offense also showed off its athleticism in the comeback, as India, Marte, Elly De La Cruz and Spencer Steer all collected a homer and a steal. India has flipped a switch in August, and over the last seven games he's batting .370 (10-for-27) with three homers, five runs and seven RBI.

Guillorme started at second base and went 1-for-5 with a stolen base in Wednesday's 10-8 win over Miami.

Guillorme made his debut for the Diamondbacks, who signed him earlier in the week in the wake of starting second baseman Ketel Marte (ankle) landing on the injured list. He's expected to serve as the backup at the keystone while Marte is sidelined, but the lefty-swinging Guillorme provides a useful complement to primary fill-in Kevin Newman.

Stott is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

Stott will be joined on the bench by fellow left-handed-hitting regular Brandon Marsh as Atlanta sends ace southpaw Max Fried to the hill. Edmundo Sosa will fill in for Stott at second base.

The Cardinals recalled Fermin from Triple-A Memphis on Wednesday.

Fermin is taking the roster spot of the struggling Nolan Gorman, who has been optioned to Memphis. The 25-year-old Fermin will offer St. Louis a backup option at second base, third base and shortstop, and he could see some starts versus left-handed pitching.

The Cardinals optioned Gorman to Triple-A Memphis on Wednesday.

Gorman's strikeout rate on the season ballooned to 37.6 percent after he went 0-for-4 with three punchouts in Tuesday's loss to the Brewers. Strikeouts are nothing new for Gorman, but this season, they haven't been accompanied by much production, with the 24-year-old's OPS cratering to .671 after an .805 mark in 2023. With Gorman out of the picture, Brendan Donovan should see most of his playing time at second base moving forward.

McNeil is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Orioles.

The Orioles have southpaw Cole Irvin on the hill, so the left-handed-hitting McNeil will begin Wednesday's afternoon game on the bench. Jose Iglesias will start at second base and bat seventh for the Mets.

Lux went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's win over the Mariners.

Lux got the scoring started for the Dodgers in the fourth with a solo home run to center for his second home run in as many games. Lux has been one of the best hitters in baseball over the last month-plus. Since July 11, he's slashing .358/.423/.670 with eight homers, 24 RBI and 17 runs, and his 1.092 OPS leads the National League over that span. For the season, Lux is now slashing .254/.313/.400 with 10 homers, 45 RBI, 44 runs, four steals and a 29:85 BB:K in 387 plate appearances.

Gonzales (groin) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday, Danny Demilio of PittsburghBaseballNow.com reports.

Gonzales was placed on the 10-day IL on July 28 and has been deemed ready to appear in games. The 25-year-old will likely require multiple games with Indianapolis before being cleared to rejoin the active roster. Once activated, Gonzales will likely compete with Isiah Kiner-Falefa for work at second base.

The Diamondbacks signed Guillorme to a one-year contract Tuesday, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.

Per Alvarez-Montes, Guillorme is already with his new team at loanDepot Park in Miami, so it appears he will be active for Tuesday's game versus the Marlins. The Diamondbacks will need to make roster moves in order to add him to their 26-man and 40-man rosters. Guillorme, who was released by the Angels over the weekend, has a paltry .218/.285/.290 slash line in 138 plate appearances between Atlanta and Los Angeles. However, he offers a steady glove and gives Arizona an option at second base while Ketel Marte (ankle) is out.

Triolo went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and a walk Monday against the Rangers.

Triolo had been relegated to a bench role since the acquisition and return of Isiah Kiner-Falefa, though he looks poised to take over at third base so long as Ke'Bryan Hayes (back) and Nick Gonzales (groin) are sidelined. Triolo is hitting just .201 for the season with a. 094 ISO, but he does have a home run in two of his last three games.
