Brujan is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros.

Brujan has emerged as the Marlins' primary option at the keystone since Otto Lopez (back) was placed on the injured list last week. Though Jonah Bride will get the nod at second base Wednesday, Brujan had started in each of the previous seven games while going 3-for-23 with two doubles, one stolen base, four walks, six runs and two RBI.

McNeil is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.

With lefty Patrick Corbin toeing the rubber for Washington, the lefty-hitting McNeil will bow out of the starting nine. Brandon Nimmo and Tyrone Taylor will serve as the Mets' starters in the corner outfield while Jose Iglesias gets the nod at second base.

Lux is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies.

With southpaw Cristopher Sanchez on the hill for the Phillies, the lefty-hitting Lux will retreat to the bench. Chris Taylor will cover second base in Lux's stead.

India (knee) will start at designated hitter and bat leadoff in Wednesday's contest versus the Rockies.

India was scratched from the lineup ahead of Tuesday's 12-6 win due to a left knee contusion, but he's feeling well enough to at least handle a non-defensive role Wednesday. The Reds will go with Santiago Espinal at India's usual spot at second base.

India was a late scratch Tuesday versus the Rockies due to a left knee contusion.

India was set to start at second and bat leadoff Tuesday. The second baseman Is coming off of an impressive June in which he slashed .380/.454/.587, but due to the injury, Santiago Espinal will take his place at the keystone and bat eighth Tuesday. Spencer Steer will now bat leadoff.

The Giants reinstated Estrada (wrist) from the 10-day injured list, and he will start at second base and bat seventh in Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Estrada had been playing through multiple injuries before being placed on the 10-day IL on June 28 with a left wrist sprain. He didn't end up needing a rehab assignment, and his return bolsters the San Francisco infield. Estrada is slashing .231/.264/.376 with nine home runs and 39 RBI over 311 plate appearances this season.

Kemp signed a minor-league contract with the Reds on Tuesday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Kemp signed an NRI deal with Cincinnati this spring but opted out of the contract in hopes of landing a spot on a big-league roster. He's since spent time in the Orioles' and Twins' organizations and is hitless in 10 major-league at-bats this season. Kemp will report to Triple-A Louisville, but the Reds are dealing with a plethora of injuries and could require the 32-year-old utility man's versatility in near future.

Bogaerts (shoulder) is on track to be activated from the 10-day injured list Friday, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Bogaerts began a rehab assignment last week with Triple-A El Paso, going 2-for-11 with a 4:4 K:BB in four games. He will continue his rehab with another game or two this week with Single-A Lake Elsinore before facing live pitching at Petco Park. Assuming all goes well, he'll then be back for the Padres' final series of the first half this weekend against Atlanta. Bogaerts has been sidelined since late May with a fractured left shoulder.

Marte (back) will start at second base and bat second in Monday's game against Atlanta.

Marte had to depart a game this past Friday with a back issue and then sat out the next two contests. However, he's feeling well enough to give it a go in the series opener versus Atlanta.

The Reds outrighted Jordan to Triple-A Louisville on Monday.

While no longer on the 40-man roster, Jordan will remain in the organization after passing through waivers unclaimed. He has an .842 OPS over 220 plate appearances at Louisville this season.
