India (hamstring) is back with the team and is expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list prior to Tuesday's game against Arizona, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

India has been out on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Louisville for the past week, and it appears he's nearing activation. He hasn't sniffed the field since April 30 due to a right hamstring injury, but he should return as Cincinnati's everyday second baseman once he's officially cleared.

Donovan will start at third base and bat sixth in Monday's game against the Pirates.

The recent returns of Tyler O'Neill and Dylan Carlson from the injured list leave Donovan without an everyday job in the outfield, but the 25-year-old has been able to maintain steady playing time while moving into more of a super-utility role. With Nolan Arenado handling designated-hitter duties Monday, Donovan will fill in at third base for what will be his fifth start in the last six games.

Urias left Sunday's game against the Nationals with right hamstring tightness, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Urias' exit was reportedly precautionary, so it seems as though he'll be considered day-to-day for now. The Brewers have an off day Monday, so it's possible he returns Tuesday against the Mets without missing a start.

Lux will sit Sunday against San Francisco, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Lux has had far more than a platoon role this season, though when he does sit, it usually comes against a left-hander. He'll rest here against a particularly difficult one in Carlos Rodon, with Hanser Alberto taking over at the keystone.

Estrada went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Saturday's 3-2 win agains the Dodgers.

Estrada put the Giants on the board against Clayton Kershaw in the second inning with a solo shot to left field. The long ball was his fourth of the season and extended his modest hitting streak to four games. Estrada has gone 1-for-3 in each of those four contests and has collected three RBI over that stretch.

Mathias went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a stolen base in Saturday's 8-6 loss to the Nationals.

Getting the start at second base and hitting ninth, Mathias helped spark a rally from an 8-1 deficit in the seventh inning when he took Patrick Corbin deep, but the Brewers ran out of time to tie things up. The 27-year-old has been extremely productive for Triple-A Nashville this season, slashing .325/.426/.526 through 34 games, but Saturday's homer and steal were his first for Milwaukee in three games as he's bounced on and off the roster. With Kolten Wong (calf) on the shelf, however, Mathias might get a chance to carve out a regular role in the majors in the short term.

Stott went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Saturday's victory over Arizona.

Stott launched a two-run blast in the second inning that scored Matt Vierling, adding to the Phillies' early lead. The young shortstop struggled in April and May, but he has been on fire in June with hits in six of nine games. Stott also has four home runs this month to go with a .333 June batting average.

Albies went 1-for-4 with a grand slam in Saturday's 10-4 win over the Pirates.

Albies punctuated Atlanta's eight-run seventh inning with a grand slam to produce the final score. He's hit safely in seven straight games with two homers and 11 RBI in that span, though he hasn't record a multi-hit effort during the streak. For the season, he's posted a .249/.289/.414 slash line with eight long balls, 33 RBI, 33 runs scored, three stolen bases and 15 doubles through 60 contests.

Mathias was recalled from Triple-A Nashville on Saturday.

Mathias appeared in a couple games for the Brewers in late May before heading back to Nashville, but he was brought back Saturday to take the roster spot of Kolten Wong (calf), who landed on the injured list. Mathias will provide infield depth for the Brewers until Wong is ready to return.

Marte is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Phillies.

Marte does not sit much, but he will get a breather after snapping a three-game multi-hit streak Friday. Jake Hager will cover the keystone Saturday in Marte's place.
