Marte went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Padres.

Marte hit the first of three Arizona solo homers in the contest, smashing a 423-foot shot in the fourth inning. It was his first long ball since July 27, a span of 36 games. After going deep 32 times in 2019, Marte has hit only 27 homers in 260 contests since.

Drury went 2-for-3 with a double in a loss to the Diamondbacks on Thursday.

Drury returned from a stint on the 7-day injured list due to a concussion and recorded two of the Padres' three hits in a shutout loss, including their lone extra-base knock. He missed 12 days in total but picked up where he left off upon his return, notching his third multi-hit performance over his past five games. Drury is slashing .233/.273/.427 since joining San Diego in an Aug. 2 trade.

Drury (concussion) was reinstated from the 7-day injured list and will bat sixth as the designated hitter Thursday against the Diamondbacks.

Drury has been unavailable nearly two weeks due to the concussion he suffered Sept. 2 versus the Dodgers, but he's back in the lineup for the Padres for Thursday's series opener. The 30-year-old went 5-for-14 with two home runs, a double and five RBI in the five games preceding the absence.

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

Hoerner is out of the lineup for a third consecutive game as he continues to deal with a triceps injury. It's not yet clear whether he's available off the bench, but he'll have an additional day to rest since the Cubs have a scheduled day off Thursday. Christopher Morel is starting at shortstop and leading off.

Guillorme isn't starting Wednesday against the Cubs.

Guillorme returned from the injured list Tuesday and went 1-for-3. He'll get a chance to rest while Eduardo Escobar starts at the hot corner and bats seventh.

Estrada isn't in the lineup Wednesday against Atlanta, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Estrada is in the midst of a three-game hitting streak in which he's gone 6-for-11 with a homer, a double, two runs, two RBI and a stolen base. Wilmer Flores will take over at the keystone and bat third Wednesday.

Trejo went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the White Sox.

Trejo accounted for all of the Rockies' runs and their lone extra-base hit with his third-inning homer. The 26-year-old has gone 7-for-17 (.412) over his last five games while settling in as the primary shortstop in the absence of Jose Iglesias (hand). Trejo owns a .266/.309/.453 slash line with three homers, 11 RBI, 10 runs scored and three doubles through 68 plate appearances this year.

Urias went 3-for-5 with a double in Tuesday's 8-4 win over the Cardinals.

Urias was productive from the No. 7 spot in the order, but he wasn't directly involved in generating runs. The infielder has gone 7-for-17 (.412) over his last five games, but it appears he's lost playing time. Urias now occupies the short side of a platoon, mostly at second base with the occasional look at third. The 25-year-old owns a .229/.329/.394 slash line for the year while adding 15 home runs, 43 RBI, 48 runs scored and a stolen base through 106 contests.

Lux (back), who is out of the lineup Tuesday against Arizona, is scheduled to participate in a simulated game Wednesday and expects to return to action Friday in San Francisco, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Manager Dave Roberts previously indicated Lux wasn't expected back until Friday's series opener, and it appears that expectation remains unchanged. The 24-year-old hasn't seen the field since Sept. 1 due to the back injury, but the Dodgers have taken advantage of the expanded rosters and opted not to put him on the injured list. Chris Taylor has seen most of the action at the keystone with Joey Gallo working in left field until Lux is cleared to return.

Villar is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against Atlanta.

Villar has slashed .303/.343/.727 since rejoining the big-league club at the start of September. He will get a second consecutive day off Tuesday as LaMonte Wade fills in at first base, allowing Luis Gonzalez to pick up a start in right field and bat eighth.
