Rojas is not in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Giants.

Rojas will get a day off after he went 2-for-4 with a walk, an RBI and three stolen bases in Monday's series opener. Sergio Alcantara will take over at the hot corner and bat seventh versus San Francisco.

Stott went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run and a two-run double in Monday's 6-4 win over Atlanta.

The five RBI were a new career-high total for the rookie, who had previously driven in three runs on two other occasions this season. Stott's two-out homer in the bottom of the eighth inning allowed the Phillies to take their first lead of the night and eventually put an end to a three-game losing streak. Though Stott is still under the Mendoza Line for the season (.196 average), he's slashing a more palatable .234/.312/.426 since the beginning of June.

India went 3-for-4 with a walk, a double, a grand slam and a second run scored in Monday's 11-2 rout of the Marlins.

The 25-year-old cleared the bases off Zach Pop in the fifth inning for his first career slam. India appears to have found his Rookie of the Year form once again -- over his last 14 games, he's slashing .315/.383/.611 with four homers, a steal, 11 RBI and 12 runs.

Rojas went 2-for-4 with a walk, an RBI and three stolen bases in Monday's 7-0 win over the Giants.

Entering Monday, Rojas had never had multiple steals in a major-league game, let alone three. This was also his second straight multi-hit effort. The infielder's rampant running has him up to 11 steals in 65 contests, and he's yet to be caught stealing. He's added a .279/.352/.408 slash line with five home runs, 28 RBI and 36 runs scored through 267 plate appearances.

Lux went 2-for-4 with a run and two RBI in Sunday's 7-4 victory against the Giants.

Lux notched his first RBI of the contest with a single in the third inning and plated another run with a single in the seventh. The second baseman batted fifth in the order for the first time this season, though that may simply have been a result of Will Smith getting a day off and Justin Turner (abdomen) continuing to be unable to play. Regardless, Lux has hit well this season, as all three marks in his .295/.373/.424 slash line are a career high.

India (thigh) is starting at designated hitter and batting leadoff Monday against the Marlins.

After he was scratched from Sunday's lineup with a left thigh contusion, India is ready to go for Monday's series opener. Following a cold start to the month, the 25-year-old has gone 14-for-50 with three homers, three doubles, seven RBI, 10 runs and a stolen base over his last 12 contests.

Rojas went 3-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Nationals.

Rojas had gone eight games without a multi-hit effort, batting .154 (4-for-26) during that slump. All three of his hits Sunday were singles, including one that generated a run in the fourth inning. The 28-year-old is slashing .275/.347/.406 with five home runs, 27 RBI, 36 runs scored and eight stolen bases in 262 plate appearances, and it appears he's retained a starting role at third base even with his recent downturn at the plate.

India was scratched from Sunday's lineup against the Cardinals with a left thigh contusion, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

India suffered the injury during Saturday's contest on a hard head-first slide into home, and he'll be held out of the lineup for at least one game. Matt Reynolds will take over at the keystone for Cincinnati while Tyler Naquin moves up to the leadoff spot.

Hoerner went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and two total runs scored in Saturday's 6-2 victory over Philadelphia.

Hoerner led off the scoring Saturday with a solo shot that gave the Cubs an early lead. He came around to score again in the extra inning on a Frank Schwindel grounder. The homer was Hoerner's second of the month and sixth of the season. The shortstop has five hits in his last three games and has gone hitless just four times in 18 games this month. He is slashing .282/.320/.437 in July and possesses a .303 batting average on the season.

Kim was added to the lineup for Saturday's game against the Mets, Bob Scanlan of Bally Sports San Diego reports.

Kim was initially slated to be out of the lineup for a third consecutive game, but he'll start at shortstop and bat ninth after CJ Abrams (undisclosed) was scratched. Over his last seven games, Kim has hit .333 with three doubles, four RBI, two runs and a stolen base.
