Estrada (wrist) went 1-for-3 with an RBI and a hit-by-pitch in his first rehab game with Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday.

Estrada has been shelved for nearly three weeks with a sprained left wrist but is almost ready to rejoin the Giants' active roster. Because he hasn't missed much time, Estrada would appear likely to be activated for the weekend series in Oakland which begins Saturday. Once he's back, Estrada should see the bulk of the reps at second base for San Francisco.

Manager Torey Lovullo said Tuesday that Marte has a low-grade left ankle sprain and will not require a stint on the injured list, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Marte initially injured his ankle during Saturday's game against the Phillies and aggravated it during his lone at-bat in Monday's 5-4 win over the Rockies. He was out of the lineup Tuesday, but it's unclear how many additional games Marte might miss before his ankle returns to 100 percent. The Diamondbacks' decision to keep him on the active roster is an encouraging sign.

Lux went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 7-2 win over the Brewers.

Lux batted .282 over 12 contests between homers, adding three doubles and seven RBI in that span. The second baseman's blast Tuesday stretched the Dodgers' lead to 4-1 in the fourth inning. For the year, he's up to seven long balls, 41 RBI, 38 runs scored, four stolen bases and a .242/.301/.364 slash line over 101 contests.

Hoerner went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Guardians. He also stole two bases.

Hoerner was a bright spot for Chicago amid a poor offensive performance, as the rest of the team combined for only three hits. The infielder also stole multiple bases in a game for the third time this season. Hoerner is now up to 22 stolen bases overall, and his ability to run is the main source of his fantasy value, as he doesn't offer much power.

Marte (ankle) is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rockies, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

The 30-year-old initially suffered the bruised ankle Saturday and returned to the lineup for Monday's series opener versus Colorado, but he exited the contest after showing discomfort during his first plate appearance. Marte was scheduled to undergo an MRI on the ankle Tuesday, though the team is still awaiting the results of the imaging, per Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic.

Rodgers went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Monday's loss to the Diamondbacks.

Rodgers gave Colorado its first lead with a sacrifice fly in the fourth inning and added a solo shot to center field in the sixth. The long ball extended the infielder's hitting streak to seven games, and he's had at least one hit in 11 of his past 12 contests. During the latter stretch, Rodgers is batting .391 (18-for-46) with two home runs, six doubles, eight RBI and eight runs scored.

Marte will undergo an MRI on his left ankle Tuesday, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

Marte attempted to give it a go Monday against the Rockies but aggravated his left ankle injury in his first at-bat of the game and was forced to depart. A timeline for the second baseman's return should come into focus once the team's medical staff reviews his scans.

Marte was removed from Monday's game against the Rockies after aggravating his left ankle injury, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

Marte showed signs of discomfort at the dish during his first at-bat of the game, as he fell down on one of his swings and gingerly made his way to first base on a flyout. The team removed him from the matchup shortly afterward, deploying Kevin Newman at second base. It's clear that Marte is not yet 100 percent after suffering a bruised left ankle Saturday, and the club later confirmed that he aggravated the left ankle injury during his first at-bat.

Marte (ankle) will start at second base and bat second in Monday's game against the Rockies.

Marte exited Saturday's 11-1 win over the Phillies with a left ankle contusion, but he needed just one day of rest to move past the issue and take back his usual spot at the keystone. The 30-year-old has been one of the driving forces behind Arizona's surge up the National League standings in the second half, as he enters Monday's contest having slashed .329/.407/.795 with 11 home runs over the club's 22 games since the All-Star break.

India is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cardinals.

India will exit the starting nine for the first time since July 9, when he sat out a win over the Rockies due to a left knee contusion. Spencer Steer will replace India at second base and as the Reds' leadoff man.
