Garcia went 1-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base in Monday's win over the Giants.

The 23-year-old swiped his first bag of the year on the back end of a double steal with Trey Lipscomb in the second inning. Garcia came into the season with a very tenuous grip on the starting job at second base, but so far he's risen to the occasion, batting .321 (9-for-28) with five doubles, four RBI and three runs scored. He hasn't hit higher than eighth in the order, however, so even if he does begin to put things together in 2024, his fantasy ceiling is capped unless he can earn a better spot in the lineup.

Vargas went 1-for-2 with three walks, a double, a run scored and two RBI in Monday's win over the Giants.

Getting the start at shortstop with CJ Abrams (finger) sidelined, Vargas continued a hot start to the season that has seen him go 7-for-20 (.350) with three doubles, three RBI, three runs, a stolen base and an impressive 5:2 BB:K. The 32-year-old utility player has already seen action at four different positions this season -- four games at second base, three at shortstop, and one each at third base and left field -- and even once Abrams returns to the lineup, Vargas might see more playing time than expected as long as he's contributing at the plate.

Espinal started at second base and went 1-for-3 with an RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Monday's 10-8 win over Milwaukee.

Espinal was inserted to the starting lineup after Jonathan India (leg) was scratched. Cincinnati manager David Bell does not view India's injury as significant. Espinal has started three of the last four games, with all of those coming against left-handers.

Newman started at shortstop and went 1-for-3 with a walk, an RBI and a run scored in Monday's 7-5 loss to the Rockies.

Newman started for a second consecutive game after holding down second base in Sunday's loss to Atlanta. Shortstop will be an amalgam of bodies while Geraldo Perdomo (knee) recovers from surgery to repair a torn right meniscus that is expected to keep him out of action for about a month. Blaze Alexander started at short Saturday and Jace Peterson the day prior. It's unclear if this will be a strict platoon moving forward; Arizona faces righty Cal Quantrill on Tuesday, which could favor the left-handed hitting Peterson.

Bogaerts went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run Monday in a 9-8 victory versus the Cubs.

Bogaerts capped a seven-run sixth inning for San Diego with a two-run blast that brought the team to within a run. It was the first homer of the season for the second baseman, and it marked the first time he has knocked in any runs since the team's third game of the campaign. Bogaerts has been quiet to start the season, slashing a modest .250/.304/.327 with 10 runs and six RBI through 52 plate appearances.

Turang went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double, four RBI and two runs scored in Monday's loss to the Reds.

Owned in fantasy mostly for his speed, Turang posted his first homer of the season Monday night, tagging a 397-foot blast off Graham Ashcraft in the fifth inning. He later added two additional RBI on a double in the next inning. Turang sports a .379/.424/.586 slash line in his 32 plate appearances while establishing himself as Milwaukee's starting second baseman.

Edman (wrist) was cleared by a doctor Monday to begin baseball activities, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

It's certainly good news, although Edman will basically be re-starting the equivalent of a spring training ramp-up from square one, so it will be a while before he returns. That's assuming things go well with the ramp-up, of course, which was not the case previously. Victor Scott has been filling in for Edman in center field but is off to just a 3-for-36 start at the plate.

India (leg) has been scratched from Monday's lineup against the Brewers, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

India was initially set to start at DH and hit out of the leadoff spot, but he was scratched with a left leg contusion from being hit during batting practice. Bubba Thompson will enter the starting lineup at center field and bat ninth, while Will Benson shifts to DH.

Manager David Bell said India remains in the lineup for Monday's game against the Brewers despite suffering an unspecified injury during batting practice, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

India appeared to get struck by a ball while some teammates were taking batting practice, but it's apparently not a serious injury. There remains a chance the 27-year-old is scratched closer to first pitch, but for now he's still penciled in to bat leadoff as the designated hitter.

India suffered an apparent injury during batting practice ahead of Monday's game versus the Brewers, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

India was standing in foul territory while others were taking BP and it's possible he was struck by a ball before walking off the field with the trainer. According to Goldsmith, India returned to the field to take some BP himself, though it's unclear if that means he'll be available. He had been set to serve as the Reds' designated hitter and leadoff man Monday, but it's now possible he gets scratched.
