Gorman (hand) is starting Saturday's game against the Phillies, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Gorman was out of the lineup for three consecutive games due to a hand injury, but he appeared as a pinch hitter Friday and went 0-for-1. He'll start at the keystone and bat fifth during Saturday's matchup.

Garcia went 1-for-3 with a stolen base in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Marlins.

The 22-year-old isn't known for his speed, and Garcia's first steal of the year in the majors came on his third attempt. He's otherwise been a force since being called up at the beginning of June, slashing .327/.336/.477 through 28 games with two homers, 11 RBI and 12 runs as he stakes his claim to the starting shortstop job in Washington.

Marte will continue to serve as the designated hitter at least through the current series against the Rockies, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.

The Diamondbacks are being extra cautious with Marte, who sustained a hamstring injury more than two weeks ago. He's since returned but served as the DH in seven games played. Arizona manager Torey Lovullo mentioned giving Marte a day off in the coming days.

Rojas went 3-for-4 with two doubles, a walk and two runs scored in Friday's 9-3 win over the Rockies.

Rojas has posted multiple hits in three of his last four games, going 7-for-18 (.389) in that span. He was effective at keeping the line moving Friday, again serving in the leadoff role. The versatile 28-year-old is up to a .260/.326/.385 slash line with four home runs, 18 RBI, 27 runs scored, seven doubles and five stolen bases through 46 contests, and he's claimed a near-everyday role at third base with his solid hitting.

Estrada will sit Friday against the White Sox, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Estrada hits the bench after going hitless in his last two games, dropping his OPS on the season down to .697. Donovan Walton will start at shortstop in his absence.

Lux will sit Friday against the Padres, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Lux sat only twice in June, but his first off day in July comes on the first day of the month. Max Muncy will get the start at second base.

Chavis is not in the starting lineup Friday versus the Brewers.

Chavis will be on the bench again Friday as the Pirates take on right-hander Corbin Burnes. Josh VanMeter will draw the start at first base and bat fifth versus Milwaukee.

Gorman (hand) is not in the starting lineup for Friday's contest against the Phillies, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Gorman will miss a second consecutive game while nursing a hand injury, but he told John Denton of MLB.com that he has no limitations moving forward. Albert Pujols is starting at designated hitter and batting sixth in the series opener Friday.

Hoerner is not in the starting lineup for Friday's contest with the Red Sox.

Hoerner will get a day off after he went 7-for-13 with a double, two RBI and two runs during a three-game series against the Reds. He currently owns an eight-game hit streak, raising his average from .271 to .310 over that stretch. Andrelton Simmons will start at shortstop and bat ninth in Friday's series opener.

Chavis isn't in the lineup Thursday against the Brewers.

Right-hander Adrian Houser is starting for Milwaukee on Thursday, and Chavis will be out of the lineup for the third time in the last four games. Josh VanMeter is starting at first base while Hoy Park takes over at the keystone.
