Estrada went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double, four RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 8-1 win over Cleveland.

Estrada got the Giants on the board with a two-run blast off Aaron Civale in the second inning. He brought home a run on an error in the fourth before knocking an RBI double in the sixth and coming around to score again. The 26-year-old infielder is now slashing .242/.265/.485 through 34 plate appearances.

McNeil went 0-for-2 with two walks and a stolen base in a 5-0 win Sunday over the Diamondbacks.

McNeil walked and stole second in the first and added another walk in the fifth. It was the third consecutive game that he hit leadoff, played left field and reached base safely twice. To start the season, the 30-year-old looks more like the player that hit .319/.383/.501 from 2018 to 2020 than the guy that hit .251/.319/.360 in 2021.

India (hamstring) remains out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

Brandon Drury will pick up a third consecutive start at the keystone in place of India, who is day-to-day with the right hamstring injury that he suffered in Thursday's 9-3 loss to Los Angeles. At this stage, the Reds aren't ready to move India to the injured list, though that could change if the reigning National League Rookie of the Year still remains slowed by the hamstring issue heading into Monday's series opener in San Diego.

Stott is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Stott had started in each of the Phillies' previous five games, making four of those starts at second base while going 2-for-19 at the plate. Primary second baseman Jean Segura (hand) is back in action after a three-game absence, while shortstop Didi Gregorius and third baseman Johan Camargo form the left side of the Phillies' infield. Entering the season, Stott appeared to be battling Alec Bohm for the primary job at the hot corner, but both look to be behind Camargo in the pecking order at the moment.

Chavis went 3-for-4 with a triple, an RBI and a run scored in Saturday's win over the Nationals.

Chavis got the start against a lefty and once again made the most of the opportunity, recording his second three-hit game of the season and playing a key role in the win. His RBI single to score Ke'Bryan Hayes in the fifth inning proved to be the turning point of the contest. Chavis has been limited to just 14 plate appearances across five games so far, but he's hitting .500 with a double, a triple, a homer, five RBI and two runs scored, so it's safe to say he's making the most of every chance to step into the batter's box.

Albies went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Padres.

The second baseman has now homered in three straight games and four of the last five, extending his hitting streak to six games in the process. Despite the hot streak, Albies is batting just .237 (9-for-38) through the first 10 games of the season, but his four homers, six runs and eight RBI have given him plenty of fantasy value.

India (hamstring) is not in Saturday's lineup against the Dodgers, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

There was cautious optimism that India would return Saturday after exiting Thursday's game with a hamstring injury. That is some indication that he will avoid a stint on the injured list, though he's now in line to miss his second consecutive contest. Brandon Drury will start at second base and hit eighth in India's absence.

Albies went 1-for-5 with a home run and two strikeouts in Friday's win over the Padres.

Albies extended his hitting streak to five games and also went yard for the third time over his last four contests. Through 40 plate appearances this season, the star second baseman is hitting only .242 but has shown the same kind of power that made him go yard 30 times in 2021.

Trejo went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Friday's win over the Cubs.

Trejo blasted a bomb in the bottom of the fourth inning and it was a game-changing moment, as his three-run shot gave the Rockies a two-run lead. It was Trejo's first long ball of the season and second of his MLB career, though he's not expected to be a regular presence in the lineup going forward.

Rojas (oblique) has begun swinging a bat, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.

That's a seemingly quick progression for Rojas, who was diagnosed with a Grade 2 strain. The Diamondbacks are getting by at third base with a rotation of bodies until Rojas is ready to rejoin the team.
