Estrada is dealing with tightness in his elbow after he was hit by a pitch during Tuesday's win over the Rockies, and he could be held out of the lineup Wednesday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Estrada remained in the game after the hit-by-pitch and finished Tuesday's contest 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a run scored. The elbow issue doesn't appear to be a serious concern, though the 26-year-old may still receive a maintenance day Wednesday.

Garcia went 1-for-5 with an RBI single and a stolen base in Tuesday's loss to Atlanta.

Garcia went hitless in his first four at-bats before ripping an RBI single off Kenley Jansen in the top of the ninth and stealing second base. The swipe was his third of the season and first since Aug. 26. Garcia is the middle of a tough stretch at the plate, batting .185 with 14 strikeouts over 54 at-bats in his last 13 games.

Rojas isn't in the lineup for Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Dodgers.

Rojas will take a seat in Game 2 as the lefty Tyler Anderson will start for Los Angeles. Emmanuel Rivera will take over as the D-backs' third baseman and bat fifth.

Rockies manager Bud Black said the results on Rodgers' (hamstring) MRI were "good," Patrick Lyons of TheDNVR.com reports.

After being removed from Sunday's victory over the Cubs with a hamstring injury, Rodgers' MRI results confirm Black's earlier comments saying he didn't believe the injury to be significant. Rodgers is officially listed as day-to-day.

Rodgers (hamstring) is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Giants.

The results of the MRI performed on Rodgers' injured hamstring have not yet been announced, but he will be held out for at least one more day. Ryan McMahon will man second base for the Rockies on Tuesday.

Hoerner (triceps) is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Marlins.

Hoerner remains on the Cubs' roster, but he also remains unavailable for a full nine innings. It remains to be seen if he will be ready to return for Wednesday's series finale.

Trejo went 2-for-5 with an RBI on Monday against the Giants.

Trejo singled in a run in the second inning and managed to record his first multi-hit game since Sept. 9. Despite the slow stretch, he's hit .308 with two home runs, seven RBI and five runs scored since taking over as Colorado's primary shortstop Sept. 4. Jose Iglesias (thumb) hasn't made much reported progress toward a return, so Trejo should continue to see regular playing time in the short term.

Estrada went 3-for-6 with a three-run home run and a double in Monday's 10-7 extra-inning win over Colorado.

Estrada propelled San Francisco to victory with his three-run shot in the 10th inning. The long ball was his 14th of the season and third in September. Estrada has become a viable fantasy asset for the first time this season, complementing his modest homer total with 19 stolen bases and a respectable .266/.326/.416 slash line over 495 plate appearances.

Gorman was optioned to Triple-A Memphis on Monday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Gorman has struggled at the dish in September, likely resulting in this demotion. Prior to Monday's move, he was slashing .138/.219/.310 with one home run, two RBI and three walks in September (10 games). Gorman was sent down in favor of Juan Yepez.

Rojas isn't in the lineup for Monday's contest against the Dodgers.

Rojas will retreat to the bench with southpaw Clayton Kershaw taking the mound for Los Angeles. Emmanuel Rivera will take his spot at third base and bat fifth.
