Urias went 2-for-3 with a solo shot and two runs batted in during Saturday's win over the Dodgers.

The 23-year-old hit a solo shot off Dustin May in the second inning and knocked in Keston Hiura in the 10th inning. Urias continues to improve, and he hit an impressive .333/.438/.641 with three homers and 13 RBI over his last 15 games.

Rojas went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 7-2 win over the Rockies.

Rojas took Jordan Sheffield deep with one on in the eighth inning Friday. This was Rojas' third home run of the season and second in as many games. The 27-year-old, who started his third straight game in right field in place of the injured Kole Calhoun (hamstring), is taking advantage of this opportunity to flash some power, although he is still slashing just .200/.304/.383 in 69 plate appearances.

Albies went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 13-5 loss to the Blue Jays.

He got to a fading Robbie Ray in the seventh inning for Atlanta's first runs of the night, but the team was already in a 10-0 hole at that point. Albies extended his hitting streak to five games with the blast, and over that stretch he's gone 9-for-21 (.429) with two of his five homers on the year, four doubles, five RBI and six runs.

Guillorme was placed on the 10-day injured list due to a right oblique strain Friday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Guillorme hadn't played in either of the last two games, and he's apparently dealing with an oblique issue that will force him to miss additional time. Jose Peraza was recalled in a corresponding move and should serve in a depth role for the Mets.

India was scratched from the lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Cubs for undisclosed reasons and placed on the injured list, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

The Reds have yet to specify the reason for the move. Nick Senzel will start at second base in his absence, with Tyler Naquin entering the lineup in center. Mark Payton was recalled to take India's place on the roster.

Rojas started in right field and went 2-for-4 with a solo homer in Thursday's victory over the Rockies.

The 26-year-old smacked a solo homer off Antonio Senzatela in the fourth inning, his second of the season. It was Rojas' second straight start in right following the injury to Kole Calhoun (hamstring) that landed him on the injured list. The left-handed hitting Rojas is slashing .196./.309/.333 as he looks to build off this current momentum.

Hoerner went 2-for-4 with a walk, an RBI and a run scored in Thursday's win over Atlanta. He also stole a base.

Hoerner made his seventh straight start and kept on producing. Javier Baez (hamstring) returned in this one, but the Cubs simply moved Hoerner over from shortstop to second base. As long as the 23-year-old keeps hitting, he's going to force his way into the lineup at the expense of David Bote and Eric Sogard, who are both scuffling a bit to begin the season.

Rodgers (hamstring) continues to progress toward a return from the injured list, and he began running Thursday, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Postreports.

Rodgers has been sidelined since March 1 with a hamstring strain. While his return has been slow, there have been no reports of a setback. There is still no timetable for Rodgers' return, but he has already taken batting practice and done fielding drills.

Lux is out of the lineup for Thursday's game in Milwaukee, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

With a lefty (Eric Lauer) on the mound for the Brewers, Lux will sit in favor of Sheldon Neuse, who picks up a start at second base. After being activated from the 10-day injured list Monday, Lux started in all three of the Dodgers' games against Cincinnati to begin the week, going 1-for-12 with six strikeouts.

Hoerner will start at second base and bat eighth Thursday against Atlanta.

Though shortstop Javier Baez (hamstring) is back from a three-game absence, Hoerner will stick in the lineup by shifting over to the other middle-infield spot. Hoerner is now in the starting nine for the seventh game in a row after producing a 1.030 OPS over the first six contests. He could end up unseating the struggling David Bote as the Cubs' everyday second baseman.
