Guillorme (groin) will be evaluated for a potential return after his rehab game for Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

Guillorme has missed nearly a month with a left groin strain, but he's almost ready to going after grabbing four hits in his first three rehab games. He could return as soon as early next week, at which point he'll face new competition for at-bats in the form of Mark Vientos, who earned his first career call-up Saturday.

Lux (back) is playing catch and doing fielding drills ahead of Saturday's game against the Padres, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Lux is expected to be sidelined until sometime next week, but it's encouraging to see him participating in pregame drills. He's also expected to swing a bat ahead of Saturday's matchup and will likely have a chance to return to the Dodgers' lineup early next week if he feels good following his workout.

Garcia isn't in the lineup Saturday against the Phillies.

Garcia is in the midst of an eight-game hitting streak in which he's hit .316 with a home run, three doubles, six RBI and four runs. He'll get a breather while Cesar Hernandez starts at the keystone and bats sixth.

Rojas isn't starting Saturday against the Rockies.

Rojas is getting a breather after he hit .233 with a home run, a double, five runs, five RBI and two stolen bases over the last eight games. Emmanuel Rivera will start at the hot corner and bat sixth.

Estrada isn't in the lineup Saturday against the Cubs, Evan Webeck of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Estrada is getting a breather after he went 0-for-10 with four strikeouts over the last three games. David Villar will start at the keystone and bat sixth.

India went 2-for-5 with a triple, a two-run home run and two total runs scored in Friday's 8-2 victory over the Brewers.

India first reached home on a Kyle Farmer single in the first inning before reaching home again on a ninth-inning homer that also scored TJ Friedl. It was India's 10th home run of the season and his second this month. The second baseman extended his hit streak to three games, including two multi-hit performances, totaling six hits in 15 at-bats. India's is now slashing .269/.337/.424 on the season.

Marte started at second base and went 0-for-4 with a walk, an RBI and a run scored in Friday's 13-10 loss to Colorado.

Arizona manager Torey Lovullo indicated Marte would get a day off during the three-game set in Denver, which means fantasy managers should expect a day off Saturday or Sunday. The day off is due to Marte's history of hamstring injuries occurring in Colorado, but the manager could also give him a break amid a slump. Marte is hitless over his last four contests.

Chavis went 1-for-4 with a triple, two RBI and a run scored Friday against the Cardinals.

Chavis has had his path cleared as Pittsburgh's primary first baseman with Bligh Madris back at Triple-A Indianapolis and Josh VanMeter off the 40-man roster. Chavis hasn't taken advantage of that opportunity, as he entered Friday's game hitting only .152 with a 43 percent strikeout rate across his last nine games. However, he delivered a two-RBI triple in the eighth inning Friday and now has extra-base hits in each of his last two starts. For the season, Chavis owns a .238/.268/.412 line across 377 plate appearances.

Hoerner went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer, a stolen base and two runs scored in Friday's 4-2 win over the Giants.

Hoerner launched a two-run shot off of Yunior Marte in the sixth inning for his ninth home run of the year. The 25-year-old infielder has gone 7-for-14 (.500) with four extra-base hits over his last four games after snapping a 2-for-24 (.083) skid. Hoerner improved his season slash line to .288/.335/.418 with 18 steals, 49 RBI and 34 extra-base hits through 123 games.

Lux (back) will likely be out until sometime next week, according to Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times.

According to the report, Lux "probably won't play until at least the (Diamondbacks) series next week," so he likely will not play this weekend and could miss more time beyond that. Lux will not be placed on the injured list, according to Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic, but the Dodgers seemingly won't be in any hurry to get him back on the field.
