India went 3-for-4 with a triple, three runs scored and four RBI in Tuesday's 14-1 win over the Pirates.

The bottom of the Reds' order was a wrecking ball Tuesday, as Nick Senzel, India and Tucker Barnhart combined for nine hits, nine runs and seven RBI from the 6-7-8 spots. India has gotten off to a stunning start to his big-league career, going 9-for-19 (.474) with four runs scored and seven RBI through five games.

Rojas is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game at Colorado.

Rojas is 1-for-16 with one run and a 2:4 BB:K through four games. Eduardo Escobar will shift to the keystone while Asdrubal Cabrera receives the start at third base.

Dubon is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Padres.

Dubon is 2-for-10 through three games and will take a seat with Yu Darvish on the mound for the Friars. Austin Slater will start in center field Tuesday for the Giants, batting eighth.

Estrada was designated for assignment Tuesday.

Estrada has never really seen a long look at the big-league level, so a rebuilding team may look to claim him off waivers. This clears a spot for Rougned Odor on the Yankees' 40-man roster.

Kim will bat seventh and play shortstop Tuesday against the Giants.

Kim's role at the start of the season was unclear, as the Padres had no obvious place to get him regular at-bats. He's suddenly a far more important piece of the team's roster with Fernando Tatis Jr. set to miss an extended period with a shoulder injury. It remains to be seen whether or not he's a true everyday shortstop in Tatis' absence, but the injury should certainly open up significantly more playing time for Kim. He hit .306 with 30 homers and 23 steals in his final season before making the jump from Korea and could be a cross-category producer for fantasy teams if he gets into the lineup on a regular basis.

Hernandez is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Rays, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

This is his first day off of the season, and it will come against right-handed ace Tyler Glasnow. He's 2-for-15 with zero home runs, zero steals and a 4:2 K:BB. Christian Arroyo will start at second base and lead off.

Lowe went 2-for-3 with a walk in a loss to the Red Sox on Monday.

Lowe pushed his average and on-base percentage to .364 and .462, respectively, with his first multi-hit effort of the new campaign. The 26-year-old's early season success -- he's hit safely in all three of his starts thus far -- is in stark contrast to a Grapefruit League slate during which he slashed .179/.267/.205 across 45 plate appearances.

Garcia isn't included in the lineup Tuesday for the Nationals' season opener versus Atlanta, Matt Weyrich of NBC Sports Washington reports.

Dave Martinez suggested Monday that Garcia would likely be the team's Opening Day starter at second base while Josh Harrison is on COVID-19 injured list, but those plans changed after Trea Turner was able to avoid the IL. Turner was absent Monday when the Nationals were cleared to resume workouts, but he's since been given the green light to join the big club for Opening Day after passing through all COVID-19 protocols. With Turner locked in at shortstop, Hernan Perez will shift over to second base, bumping Garcia to the bench in the process. Garcia looks like he could serve as a utility option in the infield until one or both of Harrison and Jordy Mercer return from the COVID-19 IL.

Polanco will start at shortstop and bat second Tuesday against the Tigers, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

With manager Rocco Baldelli extending Andrelton Simmons a day off, Polanco will move off second base for the first time this season after having made all four of his starts at the position. Polanco has played a small part in Minnesota's 23-run outburst between its last two games, going 2-for-9 with a walk while scoring three times and driving in one.

Arraez (illness) will serve as the Twins' leadoff man and starting second baseman Tuesday against the Tigers, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

Arraez will check back into the starting nine after he was removed early in Monday's 15-6 win over the Tigers due to a case of the stomach flu. Before exiting, Arraez recorded a base hit and a walk in his two plate appearances, coming around to score on both occasions. He'll carry a .538/.647/.615 batting line into Tuesday's matchup.
