Urias (quadriceps) served as a designated hitter and went 0-for-3 while reaching base on a hit by pitch during his rehab game Sunday with Double-A Biloxi.

Urias has now appeared in seven games at Biloxi, recording only four hits but reaching base eight times in total across 31 plate appearances. He's also seen plenty of time in the field during the rehab assignment, so unless he experienced some sort of setback in his recovery from the left quad injury Sunday, he should return from the 10-day injured list and make his season debut for the Brewers on Tuesday against the Reds. Once activated, Urias should take on a full-time role at third base, where Jace Peterson and Mike Brosseau had been working in a platoon capacity through the first three-plus weeks of the season.

Trejo was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

Trejo mainly operated as a depth option for the Rockies early in the season, but he recently drew four consecutive starts. He appeared in 10 games and hit .257 with a homer, a double, six runs and six RBI, but he'll be demoted since Colorado will activate Garrett Hampson (hand) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

Trejo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

With Brendan Rodgers (back) returning to the starting nine, Trejo's four-game streak of starting at second base will come to an end. Trejo went 3-for-15 with a double, a walk and three runs over that four-game stretch, and he could end up picking up at least a handful of starts per week if Rodgers' struggles continue even though he's ostensibly healthy again. Rodgers heads into Sunday's game with a lowly .078/.172/.098 slash line across his 58 plate appearances on the campaign.

Drury will start at third base and bat fifth Sunday against the Rockies.

Drury will fill in at third base for the lefty-hitting Colin Moran, who takes a seat with southpaw Kyle Freeland on the hill for Colorado. It's the fourth consecutive start for Drury, who could have a path to steady playing time against right-handed pitching if the Reds elect to deploy him at second base following Jonathan India's (hamstring) placement on the injured list Sunday. Matt Reynolds will pick up the start at the keystone Sunday and could be a factor at the position during India's absence, as could Alejo Lopez.

India (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday, retroactive to April 30.

India spent less than two weeks on the injured list with the right hamstring issue before being activated Tuesday, but he quickly aggravated the injury and is now back on the shelf. It's unclear how long he's expected to be sidelined this time around, though the Reds figure to be more cautious to avoid rushing him back again. Brandon Drury and Matt Reynolds are likely to see time at the keystone in his absence.

India isn't starting Sunday against the Rockies due to hamstring tightness, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

India was scratched from Saturday's lineup to have a recovery day after being activated from the injured list earlier in the week, but his hamstring injury apparently remains bothersome. The 25-year-old will have three straight days off due to Monday's scheduled off day, so he could be back in action Tuesday at Milwaukee.

India is not in the lineup for Sunday's game at Colorado.

The 25-year-old was scratched from Saturday's lineup to provide him a recovery day after returning from the injured list earlier in the week, and he's out of the starting nine again Sunday. The extra game off will provide India three straight days of rest thanks to Monday's scheduled off day. Matt Reynolds will start at the keystone in his place and bat eighth.

Kim will start at shortstop and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Pirates.

Though the Padres will include the righty-hitting Kim and lefty-hitting CJ Abrams in the lineup Sunday as their starters up the middle, the former looks to have moved ahead of the latter on the depth chart at shortstop. Abrams was on the bench for both of the first two games of the series in Pittsburgh, despite the Pirates bringing a pair of right-handers (Zach Thompson and JT Brubaker) to the hill for those games. Kim has helped his case for sticking in a full-time role at shortstop by going 7-for-15 with two home runs, three doubles, seven RBI and five runs over his last four starts.

Estrada went 1-for-4 with a double and three RBI in Saturday's 9-3 win over the Nationals.

He laced a two-run double into left-center in the third inning to get the Giants on the board, then added a bases-loaded fielder's choice in the fifth to put San Francisco in the lead for good. Estrada is batting only .205 (8-for-39) over the last 11 games, but he's still provided a little fantasy value with two steals, four runs and six RBI.

Rodgers (back) is starting at second base and batting eighth Sunday against the Reds, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Rodgers was unavailable the past four games while dealing with back soreness, but he'll rejoin the lineup for Sunday's series finale. The 25-year-old is 4-for-51 through 14 games this season and may not have much longer to break out of his slump before shifting to a reduced role.
