Garcia isn't in the lineup Saturday against the Phillies.

Garcia is in the midst of an eight-game hitting streak in which he's hit .316 with a home run, three doubles, six RBI and four runs. He'll get a breather while Cesar Hernandez starts at the keystone and bats sixth.

Rojas isn't starting Saturday against the Rockies.

Rojas is getting a breather after he hit .233 with a home run, a double, five runs, five RBI and two stolen bases over the last eight games. Emmanuel Rivera will start at the hot corner and bat sixth.

Kemp went 2-for-4 with an RBI single and two runs in a loss to the White Sox on Friday.

Kemp's hitting streak is now at 11 games following Friday's output. The veteran did see his 10-game stretch without a punchout end courtesy of a swing and miss of a Joe Kelly knuckle curve during his final plate appearance of the night, but Kemp's current .231 average qualifies as his best figure in that category since June 25.

Gimenez went 0-for-4 with a hit-by-pitch and a stolen base in Friday's 7-6 win over the Twins.

Gimenez appears to have a green light on the basepaths currently -- he's logged three steals in four attempts over his last five games. For the season, he's 18-for-21 in steals while slashing .302/.370/.478 through 123 contests.

Gonzalez isn't in the lineup Saturday against Oakland, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.

Gonzalez is getting a breather after he went 5-for-9 with a home run, a double, four runs, four RBI and four strikeouts over the last two games. Josh Harrison will start at the keystone and bat ninth.

Estrada isn't in the lineup Saturday against the Cubs, Evan Webeck of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Estrada is getting a breather after he went 0-for-10 with four strikeouts over the last three games. David Villar will start at the keystone and bat sixth.

India went 2-for-5 with a triple, a two-run home run and two total runs scored in Friday's 8-2 victory over the Brewers.

India first reached home on a Kyle Farmer single in the first inning before reaching home again on a ninth-inning homer that also scored TJ Friedl. It was India's 10th home run of the season and his second this month. The second baseman extended his hit streak to three games, including two multi-hit performances, totaling six hits in 15 at-bats. India's is now slashing .269/.337/.424 on the season.

Rengifo went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in a loss to the Astros on Friday.

Rengifo notched one of five Angels hits in the contest, collecting a single in the seventh inning and following with a swipe of second base. The hit extended the infielder's on-base streak to 16 games, during which he's slashing .299/.309/.448 with two homers, six RBI and a stolen base. After struggling early in the season, Rengifo has worked his way into fantasy relevance with a .306 batting average, nine homers, 33 RBI and five thefts over 66 contests since June 22.

Marte started at second base and went 0-for-4 with a walk, an RBI and a run scored in Friday's 13-10 loss to Colorado.

Arizona manager Torey Lovullo indicated Marte would get a day off during the three-game set in Denver, which means fantasy managers should expect a day off Saturday or Sunday. The day off is due to Marte's history of hamstring injuries occurring in Colorado, but the manager could also give him a break amid a slump. Marte is hitless over his last four contests.

Andrus went 2-for-5 with a double, two RBI and a stolen base Friday against the Athletics.

Andrus doubled in the winning runs in the ninth inning and then proceeded to steal third base. He now has nine stolen bases on the season, though this was only his second in 20 games with the White Sox. In that same span with his new club, Andrus is hitting .298 with four homers, 17 RBI and 12 runs scored.
