Garcia sustained a wrist injury Tuesday while playing for Triple-A Rochester, Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com reports.

He exited the game after colliding with the opposing first baseman and is out of Wednesday's lineup. It's unclear how serious the injury is, but it seemed a call-up for Garcia was imminent, as he was hitting .331/.387/.576 with eight home runs in 37 games.

McNeil went 3-for-4 with a double, a walk and two runs in Tuesday's 13-12 loss to the Giants.

Coming off a 2021 campaign in which he hit a disappointing .251, McNeil's contact-heavy approach is bearing more fruit in 2022. Wednesday marked his second multi-hit performance of the series and his 17th of the season. McNeil's 23-homer campaign in 2019 continues to look like a major outlier, but with the exception of 2021, the 30-year-old has shown that he's one of the more bankable contributors in the batting-average category throughout his career.

Chavis will start at first base and bat fifth in Wednesday's game against the Rockies in Pittsburgh.

Chavis will pick up his second straight start at first base, and he looks like he'll have a path to an everyday role against both right- and left-handed pitching after the Pirates moved Daniel Vogelbach (hamstring) to the 10-day injured list Tuesday. Over a 12-game stretch dating back to May 9, Chavis has slashed .395/.415/.605 with five extra-base hits, three runs, three RBI and a 1:9 BB:K.

Rodgers is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game in Pittsburgh.

Garrett Hampson will take over at the keystone while Rodgers receives his first day off since May 11. Rodgers is in the midst of a 12-game hitting streak, during which he's produced a .902 OPS and five extra-base knocks.

Rojas (hand) was available off the bench if needed for Tuesday's game, Jack Sommers of MLB.com reports.

The Diamondbacks did not use Rojas in their 8-6 win over the Royals. The infielder took infield and batting practice ahead of Tuesday's series finale with Kansas City, but manager Torey Lovullo preferred to "stay away" from using Rojas if possible. With a scheduled day off Wednesday, Rojas will get another 24 hours of healing in before the series opener against the Dodgers on Thursday.

Mathias had his contract selected by the Brewers on Tuesday.

Mathias was unable to earn a spot on Milwaukee's Opening Day roster, but he'll join the big-league club Tuesday with Hunter Renfroe headed to the injured list. The 27-year-old should serve as a reserve outfielder with Christian Yelich, Lorenzo Cain, Tyrone Taylor and Andrew McCutchen covering the three outfield spots and designated hitter.

Rojas (hand) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Royals.

Rojas will be on the bench for the third game in a row due to a bruised left hand. With Rojas' main replacement in the lineup, Drew Ellis, exiting Monday's 9-5 win with side discomfort and also taking a seat Tuesday, the Diamondbacks will break in Jake Hager at third base.

Reds manager David Bell said Tuesday that India (hamstring) is approximately 10 days to two weeks away from heading out on a minor-league rehab assignment, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

India's potential return timeline from the right hamstring injury looks as though it's been pushed back again, as Bell said exactly one week ago that the reigning National League Rookie of the Year could begin playing in minor-league games by the end of May. The 25-year-old doesn't appear to have hit a snag in his recovery over the past week, but the non-contending Reds may be reluctant to rush India back from a hamstring issue that has already forced him to the 10-day injured list on two occasions through the first quarter of the season. Brandon Drury is expected to continue serving as the Reds' everyday second baseman for the duration of India's absence, which looks set to extend through at least the first week of June.

Hoerner (ankle) took part in hitting, fielding, running and throwing drills during an on-field workout Tuesday, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Fellow injured middle infielder Nick Madrigal (back) also performed the same activities, as both look to be at similar spots in their respective rehab programs. Hoerner and Madrigal could both be ready to begin minor-league rehab assignments later this week before potentially returning from the 10-day injured list by the end of the month. Though both Hoerner and Madrigal handled everyday roles for the Cubs prior to hitting the shelf, the two may have to fend off Andrelton Simmons and Jonathan Villar for starts in the middle infield once they're back from the IL.

Donovan will start in right field and bat second in Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

He'll occupy right field for the third game in a row and stay in the lineup for the 15th time in the Cardinals' last 17 games while he remains one of the hottest hitters in the lineup. After going 2-for-3 with a double, a walk, an RBI and a run in Monday's 7-3 win, Donovan will climb from the No. 6 spot in the order to the two hole, swapping lineup positions with Nolan Gorman from a day earlier.
