Rojas batted leadoff and went 1-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the Giants.

Rojas started at shortstop in place of the injured Nick Ahmed, who is done for the season with a shoulder injury. The team called up prospect Geraldo Perdomo after Ahmed was placed on the injured list, but manager Torey Lovullo wanted Rojas back in the lineup after sitting out Sunday. Despite being on a 5-for-30 (.167) run over the last nine contests, Rojas has performed well in his first full season in the majors. The double was his 32nd of the season, ranking him tied for 28th in MLB.

Estrada (hand) will undergo X-rays after he was hit by a pitch in the seventh inning of Tuesday's game versus Arizona, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

Estrada was hit on the hand in his lone plate appearance, although he was able to play the last two innings at second base. The infielder's X-rays are considered precautionary. More information should be available ahead of Wednesday's contest regarding his status going forward.

Estrada was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday.

The 25-year-old will rejoin the Giants for the final week of the regular season with Brandon Belt (thumb) heading to the injured list. Estrada has a .275/.331/.483 slash line in 130 plate appearances this season and will be a utility option in the infield.

Chavis (elbow) was activated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Jake Crouse of MLB.com reports.

As expected, the 26-year-old will rejoin the team for its three-game series against the Cubs. He is not in the lineup Tuesday night, but he will be available off the bench. Taylor Davis was optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis and Connor Overton (shoulder) was placed on the 10-day IL Tuesday, opening roster spaces for Chavis and Jacob Stallings (concussion), who was reinstated from the 7-day IL.

Rodgers (head) is starting at second base Tuesday against the Nationals.

Rodgers cleared concussion protocols after being hit by a pitch on the head and exiting Monday. The infielder appears to be feeling fine a day later, as he's set to man the keystone and bat second against lefty Patrick Corbin.

Hoerner (general soreness) isn't starting Tuesday's game against Pittsburgh.

Hoerner will be out of the lineup for a third consecutive game as he continues to deal with general soreness. Sergio Alcantara will start at shortstop and bat seventh.

McNeil will sit for the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Marlins.

McNeil has hit an unimpressive .260/.295/.370 thus far in September. He isn't necessarily sitting for performance reasons, however, as it's standard procedure to sit regulars for one end of a twin bill. Kevin Pillar starts in left field in McNeil's absence.

Rodgers (head) has passed all concussion protocols after leaving Monday's game against Washington, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

Rodgers was hit in the helmet by a 92 mph fastball, but he managed to walk off the field and has now cleared concussion protocols. The team will continue to monitor the infielder as a precaution.

India went 4-for-5 with a two-run homer, a double, four runs scored and a stolen base in Monday's 13-1 win over the Pirates.

India continued his hot streak with a monster performance Monday that included his 21st home run and 12th steal of the season. He's gone 8-for-19 (.421) with seven runs scored and five extra-base hits over the last four games. The rookie infielder is now sporting a .273/.380/.466 slash line with 96 runs scored through 614 plate appearances.

Rodgers left Monday's game against the Nationals after a fastball hit him in the helmet, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

It was a good sign to see Rodgers walk off the field after a fastball drifted high and inside, and he unsurprisingly was pulled from the contest. Garrett Hampson entered the game at second base in Rodgers' place. The extent of his injury is unknown at this time.
