Estrada was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Estrada spent five days on the big-league roster earlier in June and will rejoin the Giants on Tuesday. The 25-year-old will provide infield depth with Evan Longoria (shoulder), Brandon Belt (knee) and Tommy La Stella (hamstring/thumb) on the injured list. Mauricio Dubon was optioned to Sacramento in a corresponding move.

The Giants optioned Dubon to Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Dubon has had a tough season offensively, getting on base at a .272 clip in a backup role at a number of positions. Perhaps some time at Triple-A will allow him to recapture his 2019-2020 bat, as he hit .274 in both of those two seasons with a .337 OBP in 2020. Thairo Estrada was recalled in a corresponding move to fill Dubon's roster spot.

Rodgers is not in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Pirates.

Rodgers will get his first rest since June 17 as Garrett Hampson takes over at second base.

Urias went 2-for-5 with an RBI and two runs in Monday's victory over the Cubs.

Urias entered the contest with a 10-game hitting streak, and he wasted no time extending that to 11 with a single in his first at-bat. Urias led off Monday with Kolten Wong (calf) down, but he will be bumped down the order a bit when Wong returns to action. Nevertheless, expect him to remain a regular in the lineup, as he has started all but one game in June.

Rojas went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, a double and a strikeout in a 7-1 loss to the Cardinals on Monday.

Rojas accounted for Arizona's lone run with his fifth-inning homer off St. Louis starter Wade LeBlanc and later doubled to lead off the seventh but was left stranded. It was the utility man's fourth straight start with two hits as he's 8-for-19 over his past five games, though Monday's double and homer were his first extra-base hits in the stretch.

Gorman was promoted to Triple-A Memphis from Double-A Springfield on Monday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

The 21-year-old appeared in 43 games for Springfield and earned the promotion by slashing .288/.354/.508 with 11 homers, 27 RBI, four stolen bases and 26 runs. His 26.7 percent strikeout rate at Double-A was his best mark above rookie ball, and if he can maintain a similar contact rate against Triple-A pitching, it's possible we could see him in the majors later this summer.

Marte was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left hamstring strain Monday, retroactive to June 27.

Marte underwent imaging Monday after he aggravated his hamstring injury Saturday, and he's been diagnosed with a strain. It's not yet clear when the 27-year-old will be cleared to return to game action, but Tim Locastro and Pavin Smith could see increased time in center field in his absence.

Frazier isn't starting Monday against the Rockies, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

Frazier went 3-for-4 with a pair of runs and a walk in Sunday's win over the Cardinals, and he'll get a rare day off in Monday's series opener. Kevin Newman will shift to second base while Erik Gonzalez starts at shortstop.

Lux went 1-for-3 with a run scored, a walk and a stolen base in Sunday's 7-1 win over the Cubs.

Lux walked in the second inning and scored on Zach McKinstry's grand slam. Also, he stole second base in the fifth inning for his second steal of the season. Prior to Sunday, Lux was hitless in his last seven games. This season, he is slashing .230/.312/.361 with six home runs, 32 RBI and 34 runs in 260 plate appearances.

Gonzales went 1-for-4 with his fourth homer and two RBI on Sunday for High-A Greensboro.

Gonzales, who also homered Saturday in his return from the IL list, played this weekend for the first time since fracturing his right pinky finger May 19. The 22-year-old likely needs only experience and good health to become an impact player for the Pirates. It wouldn't be surprising to see Gonzales promoted -- along with fellow infielder Liover Peguero -- to Double-A before summer's end.
