Rojas (hand) is not in the lineup for Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Phillies, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.

The 31-year-old injured his hand during Saturday's contest and had X-rays come back negative, but he'll miss at least one game as a result. It's unclear if Rojas will be available for either of Sunday's games. Jazz Chisholm will shift to shortstop while Isan Diaz starts at second base in the matinee.

Ahmed went 2-for-4 with a run scored in Saturday's 7-3 loss to the Mariners.

Ahmed, who has primarily batted in the lower third of the order, hit out of the two-hole for the second time in four games. As the Diamondbacks infuse the lineup with prospects and less-proven talent, Ahmed will be given a slot higher in the batting order among the team's best hitters. The shortstop has seven hits in his last 15 at-bats.

Rojas had X-rays on his hand come back negative after exiting Saturday's loss to the Phillies, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Rojas was lifted for a pinch hitter during the seventh inning, and it's unclear how he sustained the injury, though it doesn't appear to be serious. Jazz Chisholm and Isan Diaz would likely work at shortstop and second base should Rojas be forced to miss time.

Edman went 2-for-5 with a stolen base in Saturday's 7-1 win over the Reds.

Both of Edman's hits were singles. His first came in the first inning, which was followed by his second stolen base of the year. The 25-year-old has produced four homers, 19 RBI, 21 runs scored and a .259/.320/.403 slash line in 37 games.

Garcia isn't in Saturday's lineup against the Cardinals.

Garcia went 1-for-8 with four strikeouts over the last two games, and he'll retreat to the bench Saturday. Kyle Farmer will serve as the shortstop in his place.

Baez is not in the lineup for Friday's game in Milwaukee.

Baez sits for just the third time all season despite the fact that he's hitting .196/.235/.357 on the year. Nico Hoerner will be the shortstop in his absence.

Preciado was added to the Padres' player pool Tuesday.

The Panamanian-born infielder signed with the Padres last July but was withheld from minor-league action. He's extremely raw and still only 17 years of age, so his addition to the player pool is purely for developmental reasons at the team's alternate training site.

Swanson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's win over the Nationals.

Swanson capped off a five-run comeback for Atlanta by taking Tanner Rainey deep to give the Braves a 7-6 lead in the eight inning. It marked the shortstop's seventh long ball and 25th RBI on the campaign.

Seager went 2-for-5 with a solo home run during Thursday's loss to the Diamondbacks.

Seager broke open the scoring with a solo home run against Madison Bumgarner in the third inning. It was the 12th long ball of the year for the 26-year-old, who leads the Dodgers with a .314 batting average.

Edman went 2-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run during a 6-3 loss to the Tigers in the second game of Thursday's doubleheader.

His fifth-inning shot off Tyler Alexander gave the Cards a 3-0 lead before the bullpen fell apart, although Edman was also caught stealing for the third time in four attempts this year -- a far cry from his 15-for-16 performance on the basepaths as a rookie. The 25-year-old is slashing .262/.326/.415 through 35 games with four homers and 19 RBI.
