Garcia went 3-for-4 with a walk and a run scored in Tuesday's 8-5 win over Atlanta.

The rookie paced a 17-hit barrage by the Nats, and he drew his first big-league walk for good measure. Garcia's MLB career is off to a flying start, as he's gone 6-for-17 through four games since being added to the roster. The 20-year-old has a chance to lock down the starting spot at second base with Starlin Castro (wrist) likely out for the rest of the regular season.

Rosario went 2-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in Tuesday's 8-3 win over the Marlins.

The shortstop has had a tough start to 2020 at the plate, but he seems to be coming around. Rosario has collected four hits in the last two games, including his second homer of the year, but he's still slashing just .224/.224/.355 and is looking for both his first walk and stolen base.

Hoerner isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cardinals.

Hoerner didn't start the second game of Monday's twin bill, and he'll remain on the bench Tuesday. Jason Kipnis will start at second base in his absence.

Marte will hit the bench for the first time this season Tuesday against Oakland, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

Marte has made excellent contact in recent games, hitting .387 over his last seven contests. Eduardo Escobar will slide to second base Tuesday, with Jake Lamb starting at third.

Dubon is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Angels, Amy Gutierrez of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Dubon's ability to play both middle infield spots as well as center field has kept him in the lineup on a regular basis even without a dedicated position. He's started a total of 17 games in the Giants' first 25 contests, but no more than seven at any one position. Donovan Solano and Brandon Crawford will be the middle infielders Tuesday, with Steven Duggar starting in center.

Garcia went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Monday's 7-6 loss to Atlanta.

When he took Touki Toussaint deep in the second inning, Garcia became the first player born in the 2000s to homer in a big-league game. He's now 3-for-13 to begin his MLB career with four RBI and four strikeouts, and Garcia will likely continue to see the bulk of the action at second base until Starlin Castro -- who, coincidentally, was the first player born in the 1990s to homer in the majors -- recovers from his wrist fracture.

Hernandez went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run in Monday's 11-9 win over the Mariners.

Hernandez pinch hit for Matt Beaty in the sixth inning and he stayed in the game at second base. In his second at-bat, Hernandez cranked his second homer of the season to finish the Dodgers' five-run seventh inning. The 28-year-old has typically been used off the bench recently. He's hitting .250/.294/.422 with eight RBI and 12 runs scored across 68 plate appearances.

Hoerner isn't starting the second game of Monday's doubleheader against the Cardinals, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

Hoerner went 0-for-2 at the dish in the first contest of the day. He's now 0-for-9 in his last three games, so perhaps a night off will allow him to reset. Jason Kipnis draws the start at second base for the nightcap.

McNeil (knee) is starting Monday against the Marlins.

McNeil appeared in Sunday's game as a pinch hitter, but he'll return to the starting lineup for the first time since suffering a bone bruise Thursday. The 28-year-old is slashing .288/.353/.356 with four doubles and seven RBI this season.

Urias went 3-for-4 with a triple and two runs in Sunday's victory over the Cubs.

Urias picked up a season-high three hits in Saturday's contest and matched that number a day later, raising his batting average on the season to .474 (9-for-19). Urias has not claimed an everyday role just yet, but he has started five of the seven games he has appeared in since making his season debut Aug. 10, and the Brewers will surely keep looking for ways to get his bat in the lineup.
