Lopez went 1-for-4 with a two-run single, a stolen base and a run scored in Thursday's 5-3 win over the White Sox.

Lopez hadn't driven in a run since July 15 entering Thursday's contest. He changed that with a two-run single in the seventh inning before stealing second and scoring on an MJ Melendez single. Since the All-Star break, Lopez is hitting .271 (16-for-59) with six stolen bases and nine runs scored, but he has only one extra-base hit in that span. The light-hitting infielder continues to find playing time as a versatile defender, but he's put up a meager .246/.301/.290 slash line with 12 steals, 15 RBI and 40 runs scored through 106 games this season.

Gimenez went 1-for-4 with a hit by pitch, a stolen base and a pair of runs scored in Thursday's 4-3 extra-inning win over the Tigers.

Gimenez has hit safely in his last five games, and he's posted three steals in that span while going 8-for-20 (.400) at the plate. The second baseman is up to 14 steals in 16 tries this season. He's maintained an excellent .304/.367/.482 slash line with 12 home runs, 50 RBI, 45 runs scored, 18 doubles and two triples through 99 contests, making him a solid source of both speed and power.

Rodgers went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run Thursday against the Cardinals.

Rodgers took Genesis Cabrera yard in the seventh inning to tally his 11th homer of the season. Ten of those home runs have come at home, and he has a .394 wOBA when hitting at Coors Field as opposed to a .263 mark on the road. Overall, that has translated to a .288/.336/.440 line across 437 plate appearances.

Gorman went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional run scored and a walk in Thursday's 8-6 loss to the Rockies.

Gorman went yard in the fourth inning to get the Cardinals on the board. This was his first multi-hit game since July 30, and he's gone a mediocre 5-for-22 (.227) in August. The slump has cost him an everyday role, as the lefty-hitting infielder often exits the lineup versus southpaws with the Cardinals enjoying good health. Gorman is slashing .242/.316/.464 with 13 homers, 27 RBI, 36 runs scored and a stolen base through 234 plate appearances in his rookie year.

India did not suffer a fracture in his left leg and is considered day-to-day, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

India exited Thursday's game after being hit by a pitch. Tests after the game confirmed the team's original diagnosis of a contusion, so it's possible that India will be able to suit up when the Reds resume their series with the Cubs on Saturday.

India was diagnosed with a lower left leg contusion after exiting Thursday's game against the Cubs, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

India exited the game in the third inning but appeared to have suffered the injury after being hit by a pitch in the first frame. Though no official word has been offered, India seems to have avoided a serious injury. As a result, he could be back in the lineup as early as Saturday, when Cincinnati's series against the Cubs continues.

India exited Thursday's game against the Cubs with an apparent foot injury, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

India was hit in the foot or ankle with a pitch in the first inning of Thursday's game. He remained in the contest for a few more frames but was ultimately removed. It's unclear how long India may be sidelined with the injury, but he'll get some extra rest, as the Reds have an off day Friday.

Haggerty went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in a win over the Yankees on Wednesday.

Haggerty's blistering bat continued to produce Wednesday, as he opened the scoring with a 395-foot shot to left field in the sixth inning. The 28-year-old's play partly influenced the decision to send Kyle Lewis to Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday, as Haggerty has significantly outperformed his teammate at the plate and is capable of playing all three outfield positions.

Chavis is out of the lineup for Thursday's game at Arizona.

Chavis started the past four games and appears to have taken over the starting job at first base with a .913 OPS in August, but he'll take a seat for Thursday's contest. Josh VanMeter will man first base in the series finale for Pittsburgh.

Marte is not in the starting lineup Thursday versus the Pirates.

Marte will take a seat after he went 7-for-23 with two doubles, six RBI and three runs scored over the last six games. Sergio Alcantara will start at second base and bat eighth in the series finale.
