India went 3-for-4 with a double, an RBI, a run scored and a walk in Monday's win over the Brewers.

India has hit safely in four straight games and has also reached base at least twice in three straight contests, so he's been making quite an impact at the top of the Reds' order. The second baseman has hit safely in all but two of Cincinnati's games this month, hitting .357 with two homers, four doubles, six RBI, 11 runs scored and a 9:9 BB:K during that stretch.

Arraez (shoulder) was activated from the 10-day injured list Monday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

As expected, Arraez has been officially activated ahead of Minnesota's upcoming series against the Mariners, though he won't be in the lineup for Monday's contest. He's slashing .277/.358/.333 with five extra-base hits, 20 runs and 14 RBI through 39 contests in 2021.

Rodgers is out of the lineup Monday against the Padres.

Rodgers started the last three games at the keystone but will move to the bench for Monday's series opener. Ryan McMahon will cover second base while Joshua Fuentes starts at the hot corner.

Lopez isn't starting Monday's game against the Tigers.

Lopez had started each of the last two games and went 1-for-4 with an RIB, two walks and a stolen base during that time. Hanser Alberto will start at shortstop and bat eighth.

Chavis was recalled by the Red Sox on Monday, Bill Koch of The Providence Journal reports.

Chavis was sent to Triple-A Worcester in late May, but he'll return to the Red Sox after spending three weeks with the minor-league club. During his stint at the Triple-A level, he hit .275 with three home runs, 13 runs and 12 RBI in 17 games. Ryan Weber was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

Tomlinson signed a minor-league contract with the Rockies on June 1 and was assigned to the organization's rookie-level Arizona League affiliate.

Tomlinson had been out of baseball since the Rockies released him from his minor-league deal last June, so he'll presumably be put through a de facto spring training in the Arizona League before reporting to Triple-A Albuquerque. The 30-year-old will give the Rockies an experienced utility man at the upper levels of the minors; he previously appeared in 273 big-league games with the Giants between 2015 and 2018.

Gorman was named the Double-A Central Player of the Week on Monday after going 9-for-26 with seven home runs, 12 RBI and eight runs over a six-game stretch between June 7 and June 13.

Gorman had left the yard only three times through the first month of the Double-A season, but he suddenly finds himself near the top of the minor-league leaderboard in home runs on the heels of a huge week in the power department. He's now holding down a .954 OPS this season at Springfield, a sizable increase from the .765 mark he posted between Low-A Peoria and High-A Palm Beach in 2019. Gorman has seen most of his action at third base this season, but he's also picked up nine starts at second base, the position that likely represents his most realistic path to an everyday role at the big-league level with eight-time Gold Glove winner Nolan Arenado entrenched at the hot corner.

Marte went 2-for-3 with a walk in Sunday's 10-3 loss to the Angels.

Marte got on base three times, but to no avail, as nothing came out of the chances. He's slashing .321/.372/.449 with two home runs, nine RBI, 11 runs scored and a 7:14 BB:K in 22 games since returning from the injured list in mid-May. He's been an exception in what has otherwise been a disastrous season for the Diamondbacks as he's kept up his solid play despite the team only having won twice since he was reinstated.

Biggio went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a double, two runs and a walk in Sunday's 18-4 win over the Red Sox.

Biggio has recorded hits in each of his three games since he returned from the injured list, and he's blasted four extra-base hits across the last two games. The 26-year-old is now slashing .230/.337/.388 with five home runs, 17 runs and 13 RBI this season.

Semien went 2-for-4 with a home run, two RBI and two runs in Sunday's 18-4 win over the Red Sox.

Semien has now recorded hits in each of the last six games, and he's homered in back-to-back contests. He's now slashing .294/.359/.530 with 15 home runs, 44 runs, 37 RBI and eight stolen bases in 2021.
