Rojas went 0-for-2 with two walks and a stolen base in Thursday's 4-3 loss to Colorado.

Rojas stole his sixth base in 52 games without being caught during the seventh inning but was stranded at second base. The utility infielder was active on the basepaths in the minors, notching double-digit steals in 2018 and 2019, but Rojas has been slightly less aggressive at the major-league level.

Lux went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in a 5-3 victory over the Cubs on Thursday.

Lux went deep to right field with a man on base in the second inning to give Los Angeles a 3-0 lead. The long ball was his first since June 10 -- a span of 21 games. Lux hasn't displayed much power with just three homers on the season, but he's been a solid contributor near the bottom of the order with a .295/.365/.409 slash line, 19 RBI, 41 runs and five stolen bases over 266 plate appearances.

India went 4-for-8 with a double, an RBI and two runs scored while starting both games of Thursday's doubleheader against the Pirates.

India poked a go-ahead RBI single in the evening game to cap his impressive day and help the Reds salvage a split in the twin bill. This has been an incredibly disappointing season to date for India, as he's battled various injuries, the most recent being an ankle injury suffered on a hit-by-pitch Wednesday. X-rays were negative and his performance suggests the ankle is nothing to worry about, but he hasn't been running much at all after the hamstring trouble earlier in the season. Until last year's NL Rookie of the Year can put together a stretch of sustained health, his production will continue to lag behind.

Garcia exited Thursday's game against the Phillies due to a stomach illness, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Garcia was seen grabbing at his left side after grounding out in the sixth inning, which led to speculation that he suffered an upper-body injury. However, after the game, manager Dave Martinez clarified that Garcia was dealing with a stomach illness. That's positive news for Garcia's potential availability for the Nationals' weekend series in Atlanta.

Garcia was removed from Thursday's game against the Phillies due to an apparent left side injury, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

Garcia appeared to be grabbing his left side after grounding out in the sixth inning, and he was removed from the game in the seventh. Prior to his departure, he went 1-for-3 with a double and a strikeout. The exact nature and severity of his injury aren't yet clear.

Kim isn't starting Thursday against the Giants due to a minor thumb injury, Annie Heilbrunn of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Kim sustained his thumb injury Monday and will be out of the lineup for a second consecutive game. However, he doesn't sound too concerned about the issue and said that he might be able to appear off the bench if needed Thursday.

Kim isn't in the lineup Thursday against San Francisco.

Kim sat out Tuesday's series finale against the Mariners and will remain out of the lineup for a second consecutive game Thursday. Over his last three games, he's gone 5-for-11 with a homer, two runs, two RBI, a walk and two strikeouts. CJ Abrams is starting at shortstop and batting ninth.

Guillorme is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Marlins.

With southpaw Daniel Castano on the mound for Miami, the lefty-hitting Guillorme will retreat to the bench in the series opener. Jeff McNeil draws the start at second base, while J.D. Davis enters the lineup as the Mets' designated hitter.

India (ankle) is starting at second base and batting leadoff in the first game of Thursday's doubleheader with the Pirates.

After being hit in the ankle by a pitch Wednesday and exiting the contest early, India will be back in the lineup Thursday. The 26-year-old has produced just one hit in 15 at-bats so far in July, lowering his batting average to .204 on the season.

Drury went 2-for-4 with a walk and a stolen base in Wednesday's 8-3 extra-inning loss to the Mets.

After going just 2-for-19 over the prior six games, Drury snapped back to life at the plate and chipped in his second steal of the year for good measure. The veteran utility player is having a breakout campaign, slashing .270/.331/.524 through 293 plate appearances with a career-high 17 homers, 45 RBI and 50 runs.
