Bogaerts went 3-for-4 with a double, a run and an RBI in Friday's 6-4 victory versus the Orioles.

Bogaerts belted a big double in the sixth inning, driving in Manny Machado to give San Diego its first lead. The second baseman finished with his seventh multi-hit performance over his past nine contests, a span in which he's slashing .500/.526/.528. Bogaerts has raised his season batting average from .219 to .265 with the hot stretch, though he has only two RBI during that span and hasn't gone deep in any of his past 14 games.

Garcia went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double, a run scored, three RBI and two stolen bases in Friday's extra-inning win over the Cardinals.

He opened the scoring on the night with a two-run double in the second inning, then played a role in the Nationals' four-run outburst in the top of the 10th by walking, stealing second and eventually coming home on Jacob Young's bases-loaded triple. Garcia continues to add to his career highs in multiple categories, including 11 homers and 15 stolen bases in 89 games to go along with a .278/.310/.441 slash line.

The Giants placed Estrada on the 10-day injured list Friday with a sprained left wrist.

Estrada landed on the injured list in late June due to a left wrist sprain, and the same injury will now force him back onto the IL roughly one month later. He was able to return to the active roster after 11 days following his previous IL stint, though it's unclear if he'll require a longer absence this time around. Casey Schmitt was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento to provide infield depth, and he'll likely split reps at second base with Brett Wisely until Estrada returns.

Lux is not in the lineup for Friday's contest in Houston, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

The left-handed hitting Lux is getting a day off as the Astros send lefty Framber Valdez to the bump. Cavan Biggio -- who also bats left-handed -- will be at second base for the Dodgers.

Gorman is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Nationals, Lynn Worthy of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Gorman will avoid a matchup with southpaw MacKenzie Gore on Friday. Brendan Donovan will fill Gorman's spot at second base.

Rodgers went 4-for-5 with a double, four runs scored and a pair of RBI in Wednesday's 20-7 win over Boston.

Rodgers has at least one hit in six straight games following the All-Star break -- he's gone 9-for-25 (.360) with a home run in that span. Overall, the 27-year-old second baseman is slashing .270/.313/.394 with seven homers, 41 runs scored and 33 RBI across 336 plate appearances this season.

Marte went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run and a walk in Wednesday's win over the Royals.

Marte singled in his first trip to the plate and later added a three-run shot in the top of the ninth to extend Arizona's lead, giving him his third straight game with a home run. He's also recorded multiple hits and at least two RBI in three straight games, boosting his average to .296 on the season. In the month of July, the second baseman is batting .338 with five homers, 15 RBI and 13 runs scored.

Garcia went 2-for-4 with a triple and a stolen base in Wednesday's 12-3 loss to the Padres.

Garcia snapped an 0-for-7 skid at the plate and also picked up his first steal since July 5. The infielder is up to 13 thefts on 16 attempts this season. He's added a .278/.308/.442 slash line with 11 home runs, 45 RBI, 34 runs scored and 17 doubles over 87 contests, putting him on pace for a career year in nearly every offensive category, though he remains limited to a strong-side platoon role at second base.

Bogaerts went 4-for-4 with a walk and two runs scored in Wednesday's 12-3 win over the Nationals.

Bogaerts kept his bat hot and had no trouble keeping the line moving in the blowout win. He's recorded six multi-hit efforts in seven games since he returned from a fractured left shoulder, going 14-for-29 (.483) in that span, though all of those hits have been singles. The infielder is slashing .255/.296/.338 with four home runs, 15 RBI, 26 runs scored and five stolen bases over 54 contests this season, but it appears fantasy managers will have to be patient in waiting for his power to return.

Lux isn't in the Dodgers' lineup for Wednesday's game against the Giants.

Left-hander Robbie Ray will be making his season debut Wednesday, forcing the left-handed bat of Lux to step out of the lineup. Chris Taylor will shift to second base while Enrique Hernandez covers the hot corner.
