Stott is not in the lineup for Monday's game in San Francisco.

The Giants are starting reigning National League Cy Young winner and southpaw Blake Snell on Monday, so the left-handed hitting Stott will receive a day off. Whit Merrifield will handle second base for the Phillies.

Wendle was designated for assignment by Atlanta on Monday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Wendle inked a major-league contract with Atlanta last Friday after being released by the Mets, but he didn't see any action during his brief time with his new club. He should clear waivers and figures to become a free agent again.

India went 1-for-4 with a stolen base, two RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Dodgers.

India helped the Reds sweep the weekend series against the Dodgers by delivering a two-out, two-run single as part of Cincinnati's four-run third inning. He then swiped his fifth base, putting himself in scoring position to cross the plate on a Nick Martini single. India went 4-for-10 in the three-game sweep with two extra-base hits and six RBI.

Lopez is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Diamondbacks.

Lopez will sit Sunday after starting in the first two games of the series, going 2-for-7 with two RBI. Vidal Brujan will start at second base and bat eighth against Arizona southpaw Blake Walston.

Gorman went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and two runs scored in Saturday's 7-6 win over the Cubs.

Gorman's game is more power than speed, but he's done a little of both with three home runs and two steals over his last six contests. Those two thefts account for his season total. The second baseman is slashing .215/.308/.423 with eight homers, 21 RBI, 20 runs scored and seven doubles over 169 plate appearances on the year. He's not making a lot of contact; his 35.5 percent strikeout rate is an anchor on the rest of his stat line.

Turang went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and a stolen base Saturday in Boston.

His third home run of the season came in the eighth inning off reliever Zack Kelly. Turang had drawn a walk and notched his 19th stolen base of the season earlier in the contest. After going 26-for-30 in stolen base attempts as a rookie, Turang is now a perfect 19-for-19 in 2024. Only Elly De La Cruz has more this season with 31.

Garcia went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Friday's win over the Mariners.

With the Nationals trailing 1-0, Garcia gave MacKenzie Gore all the support he would need by driving a George Kirby slider over the fence in left-center field. It was the second baseman's second long ball in the last four games and his fifth of the season. After a 3-for-33 swoon in the middle of May, Garcia could be heating up again, as he's gone 5-for-16 with six RBI in those last four contests.

Triolo went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run Friday against Atlanta.

Triolo has struggled at the plate for much of the season, though Friday's long ball was his second in his last seven games. He's also hit .280 with four runs scored and six RBI in that span. So long as Ke'Bryan Hayes (back) is sidelined, Triolo should remain the primary starter at third base for Pittsburgh.

Gonzales went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double, four RBI and a run scored Friday against Atlanta.

Gonzales has swung the bat well since being recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis, and he is currently in the midst of a five-game hitting streak. In that span, he's gone 8-for-20 with seven RBI and three runs scored. He's been locked into the fifth spot in the order and should be the Pirates' everyday second baseman for the foreseeable future.

India went 3-for-3 with a grand slam, a double and a walk in Friday's win over the Dodgers.

India's fifth-inning grand slam capped off a six-run frame and proved to be the deciding factor in the victory. The 27-year-old was 8-for-46 (.174) with no extra-base hits over his previous 14 contests before Friday's big performance. He has just eight extra-base hits (three home runs) with a .653 OPS through 44 games this season.
