Chavis is not in the lineup for the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Reds.

Chavis went 2-for-5 and scored twice in the first game on the docket, but he will head to the bench for the nightcap to open up a spot for call-up Zack Collins.

India is not in the lineup for Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Pirates.

India recorded his first hit in four days in the first game of Tuesday's twin bill, but that was not enough to earn him two starts on the same day. Alejo Lopez will replace India at second base.

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

A triceps injury confined Hoerner to the sidelines Monday, and he will open on the bench for one more day and possibly another, as the Cubs will have an off day Thursday. Zach McKinstry will handle the shortstop duties in Hoerner's place.

Garcia (side) is in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Orioles.

Garcia sat out a couple games with a sore side, but he is ready to return to action on the heels of a team off day. Garcia will man the keystone and hit cleanup for the Nationals on Tuesday night.

Estrada went 3-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Monday's 3-2 win over Atlanta.

Estrada was also caught stealing after his eighth-inning single. The second baseman has put up consecutive multi-hit efforts since snapping an 0-for-10 skid. He's batting .300 (12-for-40) with two steals, two home runs, four RBI and six runs scored through 11 games in September. The hot stretch has boosted his season slash line to .264/.321/.411 through 122 contests.

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

The lefty-hitting Rojas will take a seat Monday with lefty-throwing Tyler Anderson on the bump for Los Angeles. Emmanuel Rivera will take over third base in his absence and bat fifth in the order.

The Mets reinstated Guillorme (groin) from the 10-day injured list Monday.

Guillorme had been on the IL with a strained groin since Aug. 15. Having hit .283/.355/.357 and provided solid defense around the infield this season, the 27-year-old should get plenty of playing time for the remainder of the season, especially while Starling Marte (finger) is out of the lineup.

Hoerner (triceps) isn't starting Monday against the Mets.

Hoerner was removed from Sunday's game against the Giants due to right triceps soreness and will be held out of the lineup for at least one game. Whether he's available off the bench remains to be seen, but Christopher Morel will start at shortstop and bat ninth.

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

India is still locked in as an everyday player for the Reds, but he'll get a day to clear his head after he went 0-for-5 with five strikeouts in Sunday's 7-6 loss to Milwaukee. Alejo Lopez, who reached base in all four of his plate appearances while producing two extra-base hits in that same game Sunday, will check in at second base in place of India in Monday's series opener.

Estrada went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional RBI and a stolen base, and he was caught stealing in a 4-2 win against the Cubs on Sunday.

Estrada stole second after reaching on a fielder's choice in the second inning, singled home a run and was caught stealing in the fourth and connected on a go-ahead solo shot in the seventh. The successful performance snapped a three-game hitless stretch for the 26-year-old, who's slashing .259/.317/.406 with 13 home runs, 61 runs, 55 RBI and 18 stolen bases across 121 games.
