India is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Dodgers.

He's hitting .130 with one home run and a 15:5 K:BB over his last 15 games. Alex Blandino draws the start at second base and will bat sixth.

Marte (hamstring) had a recent follow-up MRI that "showed healing," Zach Buchanan of The Athletic reports.

As has been the case since he first got injured, there hasn't been much in the way of detail regarding the severity of Marte's hamstring injury or a timetable for his return, but things at least seem to be moving in the right direction. He took live batting practice last week.

Arroyo (hand) is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Mets, and while he is available, the Red Sox would prefer not to use him in this contest, Bill Koch of The Providence Journal reports.

It does not sound like an IL stint is imminent for Arroyo, but we probably won't see him until at least Wednesday. Marwin Gonzalez is starting at second base and batting seventh.

Mayfield was claimed off waivers by the Mariners and optioned to the alternate training site Tuesday.

He will continue his tour through the AL West, as he has now moved on from the Astros and Angels, respectively. Mayfield will serve as organizational infield depth.

Rosario is not in the lineup for Tuesday's tilt with the Twins.

Rosario hits the bench after starting 10 of the last 11 games. It's hard to say he deserves a regular role, as he's hitting .153/.242/.220 through 66 plate appearances this season, though he can at least blame a .174 BABIP for some of his struggles. Jordan Luplow slides to center field in his absence, with Josh Naylor starting in right.

Polanco is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against Cleveland.

Polanco will head to the bench for the first time all season, breaking a streak of 21 consecutive starts. The day off will give Polanco a chance to reset after he followed up a season-best four-hit effort April 21 in Oakland with a 1-for-12 showing over his subsequent four games.

Dubon went 1-for-4 with a double, a walk and four RBI in Monday's 12-0 win over the Rockies.

Most of Dubon's damage came from a bases-clearing double off the wall in center field to put the Giants up 9-0 and wrap up a five-run second inning. The 26-year-old has caught fire the last two games with three hits and five RBI but is still slashing a measly .190/.239/.262 on the year. He should continue to see ample playing time so long as Brandon Crawford (quadriceps) and Donovan Solano (calf) remain sidelined.

Lux went 1-for-4 with an RBI in Monday's 5-3 loss to the Reds.

Making his return from a stint on the 10-day injured list due to a sore right wrist, the 23-year-old got the Dodgers on the scoreboard in the fourth, when he hit a sharp ground ball that found a hole on the right side and scored Chris Taylor from second. It was encouraging to see Lux make an immediate impact in his first game back from injury after he only managed one hit in his final 17 at-bats before being sidelined.

Altuve went 3-for-5 with a double, two RBI, a run scored and a stolen base during Monday's win over the Mariners.

In his return after testing positive for COVID-19, Altuve had himself a solid night at the plate, including his third double and first steal of the season. He was also thrown out on a second stolen-base attempt. Across 12 games this year, the 30-year-old is slashing .347/.400/.469 with one home run.

Albies went 1-for-4 with a walk, a run scored, an RBI and a stolen base in Monday's 8-7 win over the Cubs.

It took 20 games, but the 24-year-old second baseman finally stole his first base of the season. Albies has struggled at the plate right along with most of the Atlanta lineup through the first few weeks, and he's slashing .169/.265/.366 with three homers, 10 RBI and 10 runs.
