Kim went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Wednesday against the Reds.

Kim took Buck Farmer yard in the seventh inning to collect his first homer of the season. He's primarily split playing time with CJ Abrams at shortstop to begin the season, though Kim was in the lineup Wednesday due to Luke Voit getting a day off. Kim's overall line remains unremarkable, but he has racked up eight runs scored across only 32 plate appearances on the campaign.

McNeil is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game versus San Francisco, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

McNeil went 1-for-9 with a double, two RBI and a run in Tuesday's doubleheader and will take a seat with left-hander Carlos Rodon on the mound for the Giants. He started the past five games in left field, but he should see more action at second base moving forward with Mark Canha (illness) returning from the COVID-19 injured list.

Lux (back), who isn't starting Wednesday against Atlanta, is expected to be back in the lineup Friday against the Padres, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Lux will be on the bench for a second straight game to close out the series against Atlanta, but manager Dave Roberts is optimistic that the 24-year-old will be back in action for Friday's series opener in San Diego. Zach McKinstry was added to the Dodgers' taxi squad as a precautionary measure Wednesday, but it appears as though Lux will be back in action Friday following a relatively brief absence.

Lux (back) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

He'll be on the bench for a second straight game, after he was scratched ahead of Tuesday's 3-1 loss due to back tightness. The Dodgers added Triple-A Oklahoma City utility man Zach McKinstry to their taxi squad Wednesday, and he could be formally added to the 28-man active roster if Lux's back issue is deemed significant enough to require a stint on the injured list.

Albies went 2-for-5 with a double, run and stolen base in a 3-1 victory against the Dodgers on Tuesday.

Albies doubled in the third inning, then singled, stole second and scored in the fifth to register his second multi-hit game of the season. The theft was the 25-year-old's first after he posted a career high of 20 set last season. That speed, when paired with a slugging of .577 so far for 2022, puts Albies in rare company.

Urias (quadriceps) recently dealt with some discomfort but is still scheduled to play in an extended spring training game Thursday, Sophia Minnaert of Bally Sports Wisconsin reports.

Urias' recovery from the quadriceps injury has been slow, so the recent discomfort is a worrying sign even if it won't affect his current progress. If all goes well Thursday, the 24-year-old could begin a minor-league rehab assignment this weekend.

Drury is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Padres.

Drury started the past four games but will receive Tuesday off after going 1-for-12 with a double, two walks and four strikeouts. The 29-year-old should continue to see increased playing time while Jonathan India (hamstring) remains on the injured list.

Lux was removed from Tuesday's lineup versus Atlanta due to back tightness, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Lux was penciled in to start in left field but will instead remain on the bench due to a back issue. Cody Bellinger, who was slated to receive a day off Tuesday, will replace him in the lineup. Lux should be considered day-to-day until the team updates his status.

India (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday, retroactive to April 16.

Manager David Bell previously said India wouldn't rejoin the starting lineup until at least Friday, so it's not a major surprise the second baseman will go on the injured list after missing the past four games with a strained right hamstring. The 25-year-old will be eligible to be activated for the April 26 matchup with San Diego since the transaction is backdated a few days, so he may only be out another week despite moving to the shelf. Brandon Drury and Alejo Lopez should see action at the keystone during his absence.

Albies went 1-for-5 with a solo home run Monday in a loss to the Dodgers.

Albies helped chase Dodgers starter Clayton Kershaw in the sixth inning with a 421-foot solo blast. That was the second baseman's only hit of the game, and he has only one multi-hit effort so far this season. Albies is batting .213 through 47 at-bats, but he is tied for the MLB lead with five long balls.
