Gimenez went 0-for-3 with two walks, a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 6-3 extra-innings loss to the Mariners.

Gimenez saw a modest three-game hitting streak end Sunday, but he was still able to get aboard twice for the second time in four games. The second baseman walked, stole second and scored in the seventh inning. He slashed .326/.390/.494 through 25 games in August, and Gimenez appears to be keeping up the consistency to begin September. For the year, he owns a .299/.367/.480 slash line with 15 home runs, 16 steals (in 18 attempts), 60 RBI and 50 runs scored through 119 contests as a near-everyday player.

Rosario went 1-for-5 with a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 6-3 extra-innings loss to the Mariners.

Rosario singled, stole second and scored on an Oscar Gonzalez single for the tying run in the eighth inning. This was just the second time in six games Rosario has hit safely -- he's gone 3-for-24 (.125) with eight strikeouts in that stretch. The shortstop's slump has him down to a .278/.311/.395 slash line with eight home runs, 13 steals, 52 RBI and 71 runs scored through 125 contests this year.

Altuve went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run, a double and an additional RBI in a 9-1 win against the Angels on Sunday.

Altuve singled in the first inning, doubled home a run as part of a five-run second and added a two-run homer in the seventh to chase Angels starter Tucker Davidson. The 32-year-old is in the midst of a scorching 10-game stretch, during which he's gone 17-for-40 with three long balls and six doubles. The recent uptick has boosted his season line to .292/.377/.524, with his .901 OPS ranking eighth in MLB.

Lopez went 2-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and an RBI in a 3-2 win Sunday in Detroit.

Lopez had an RBI single in the fourth, singled and stole second in the sixth and walked in the eighth. It was just the second time he reached base safely three times in a game since July 7. He is now 13-for-16 in stolen base attempts on the season and has six steals since the beginning of August.

Semien went 0-for-3 with a run scored, a walk and a stolen base in a 5-2 loss Sunday in Boston.

Semien walked, stole second and scored in Texas' two-run first inning. It was his 21st stolen base this season but only his second since July 31. The 31-year-old has reached base safely in 16 straight contests, posting a .313/.384/.547 line with 16 runs scored and eight walks in that span.

India (knee) said after Sunday's win over the Rockies that he expects to be fine, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

India was removed from the second game of Sunday's doubleheader after fouling a pitch off his knee in the fifth inning. However, manager David Bell said after the game that India wanted to stay in the game and was ultimately removed as a precautionary measure. The 25-year-old should be considered day-to-day ahead of Tuesday's series opener against the Cubs.

India was removed from Sunday's game against the Rockies after fouling a pitch off his right knee, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

India fouled a pitch off his knee during the fifth inning and was unable to finish the plate appearance. The severity of the issue remains unclear, but the 25-year-old will have Monday's scheduled off day to recover before Tuesday's series opener versus the Cubs.

McNeil went 2-for-2 with a walk and an RBI in Sunday's 7-1 loss to the Nationals.

With a sacrifice fly in the bottom of the second inning, McNeil tallied his 50th RBI of the campaign, and he's added 57 runs in 121 games. The total is the second baseman's highest RBI count since his breakout campaign in 2019. Additionally, his two hits on the day add to a 20-game stretch in which he has hit .382 with eight extra-base hits, all of which have been doubles.

Drury (head) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Drury will take a seat for the second game in a row while he recovers from a head contusion, which stems from being hit by a pitch in Friday's 7-1 win. His absence from the lineup opens up a spot at first base for Wil Myers.

Marte is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.

Josh Rojas will play second base and Jake McCarthy will handle designated-hitter duties while Marte gets some maintenance in the series finale. Marte had started each of the previous six games, going 5-for-23 with four doubles, two walks, three runs and one RBI during that stretch.
