Urias (quadriceps) will stay on a rehab assignment with Double-A Biloxi through the weekend before being reevaluated, Sophia Minnaert of Bally Sports Wisconsin reports.

He is through four rehab games, going 3-for-15 with one double, four strikeouts and three walks over that stretch. It's unclear if that evaluation will be to determine whether Urias is ready to be activated or ready to be bumped up to Triple-A.

Rodgers (back) isn't starting Friday against the Reds.

Manager Bud Black indicated Friday that Rodgers could require a stint on the injured list since he continues to deal with back stiffness, but he'll remain day-to-day for now. Alan Trejo is starting at second base and batting ninth.

Manger Bud Black said Friday that Rodgers (back) could require a trip to the injured list, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

Rodgers has missed the last two games with back stiffness, and he's apparently still dealing with the issue Friday. Since Garrett Hampson (hand) is expected to be on the IL until at least Tuesday, Alan Trejo should see an uptick in playing time at second base if Rodgers misses additional time.

Kim went 3-for-4 with two doubles, a run and three RBI in Thursday's 7-5 win over Cincinnati.

Kim collected his first two doubles of the year in the victory, and his sixth-inning bases-loaded two-bagger drove in a trio of runs. The multi-hit performance was the first of the season for the infielder, who came into the contest batting just .194 overall. Kim upped his average to .250 with the big game, and he has registered two homers, eight RBI, 11 runs scored and a steal over 47 plate appearances this season.

Trejo will start at second base and bat eighth in Thursday's game against the Phillies, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

Trejo will man the keystone for a second straight game while regular second baseman Brendan Rodgers nurses a back injury. In Wednesday's 7-3 loss, Trejo went 0-for-3 with a walk and a run scored.

Rodgers (back) isn't starting Thursday against the Phillies.

Rodgers was removed from Wednesday's lineup against Philadelphia due to back soreness, and he'll be out of the lineup for a second straight game. Alan Trejo will start at the keystone and bat eighth.

Chavis will start at first base and bat fifth in Thursday's game against the Brewers.

The 26-year-old had mostly served as a short-side platoon player for the Pirates through the first two weeks of the season, but the recent moves of Cole Tucker (illness) to the COVID-19 injured list and Kevin Newman (groin) to the 10-day injured list may result in the 26-year-old picking up more work against right-handed pitching. Chavis will be included in the lineup for the sixth time in seven games Thursday, despite going 0-for-14 over his last four starts.

India is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Padres.

After a stint on the injured list due to a hamstring issue, India was activated Tuesday and started at second base in both of the Reds' last two games, going 2-for-9 with a double and a run scored between those contests. With the Reds and Padres concluding their series with a day game after a night game, India will receive some routine maintenance. Brandon Drury fills in for India at the keystone.

Drury went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in the loss to the Padres on Wednesday.

Drury singled in the first inning before going deep off Dinelson Lamet in the bottom of the ninth. The home run was his third of the campaign and the multi-hit effort was his second in three games. The 29-year-old looks set to see his most at-bats since he had 447 with the Blue Jays in 2019.

Rodgers was scratched from lineup Wednesday against the Phillies due to back soreness.

Rodgers is mired in an 0-for-17 slump and was in Colorado's initial lineup for Wednesday, and it's unclear when the back issue cropped up. Ryan McMahon was scheduled for a day off but will instead start at third base, pushing Alan Trejo to the keystone.
