MLB Player News

India (foot) traveled to the Reds' training complex in Goodyear (Ariz.) where he was slated to begin running on an anti-gravity treadmill Wednesday, MLB.com reports.

The treadmill enables India to resume running without putting pressure on his injured foot. The infielder is also scheduled for another MRI to determine the status of the plantar fasciitis in his left foot. India received positive news from a specialist Tuesday and could return early September, if he suffers no setbacks.

Peguero went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored Wednesday against the Cardinals.

Peguero has experienced some of the ups and downs expected of rookies, as he entered Wednesday's game with only two hits across his prior 17 at-bats. He broke out of that slump with the seventh multi-hit performance in 28 big-league games so far this season. Peguero has seen the majority of his playing time at second base, and that role should be more secure moving forward with Oneil Cruz's (ankle) return in doubt.

Estrada went 2-for-5 with one RBI, a stolen base and one run scored in Wednesday's 8-6 extra-inning win over the Phillies.

The steal was Estrada's 19th of the season, and it was his first attempt to swipe a bag since returning from a hand injury earlier in the month. The second baseman has gone 21-for-67 (.313) over his last 16 games. He's up to a .280/.329/.434 slash line with 10 home runs, 39 RBI, 51 runs scored, 23 doubles and a triple over 86 games this season.

Arauz is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

He'll give way to Danny Mendick at third base Wednesday, but Arauz looks like he'll operate as the Mets' primary option at the position versus right-handed pitching while both Mark Vientos (wrist) and Luis Guillorme (calf) are on the injured list. Arauz started each of the past three games, going 1-for-8 with a walk and an RBI.

Lopez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets.

Lopez will join fellow left-handed hitter Eddie Rosario on the bench for the series finale while the Mets bring southpaw Jose Quintana to the hill. Vaughn Grissom will cover second base in place of Lopez, who has produced a pair of base hits in both of his last two starts.

Gorman (back) is expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list Friday as long as he gets through a full workout Wednesday with no setbacks, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Gorman was forced to the IL last week with a balky back, an injury which he initially suffered back during the 2020-21 offseason during a weightlifting incident. He's feeling much better following a pain-killing injection and appears on track for activation when first eligible this weekend as the Cardinals travel to Philadelphia.

Estrada went 3-for-5 with a double and one run scored in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Phillies.

The 27-year-old infielder notched two singles and a double against Phillies starter Taijuan Walker on Tuesday. Estrada has now hit safely in eight of his last nine games, going 15-for-37 with four doubles and a homer during the hot stretch.

McNeil went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to Atlanta.

Last year's batting champ has returned to form in August, hitting safely in seven straight games and slashing .337/.375/.472 on the month with three homers, two steals, 13 RBI and 15 runs in 22 contests. McNeil continues to mainly play second base, but if the Mets give prospect Ronny Mauricio a look in September, the 31-year-old could shift to a corner outfield spot more frequently.

India had his foot examined Tuesday by a specialist, who reported good progress in the plantar fascia area, Gordon Wittenmyer of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

India, who said he feels no pain in the foot, took batting practice prior to Tuesday's game against the Angels. "We'll see how I feel running and go from there," India said. "I feel good. All I can do is go based off of how I feel." The second baseman was shut down less than two weeks ago after a setback in the initial stages of rehab. The positive news suggests India can return sometime around the beginning of September, if he remains pain free. Neither the player nor the team are setting a timeline for his return.

Arraez (illness) is starting at second base and batting second Tuesday versus the Padres.

Arraez was lifted from Monday's series opener in San Diego because of a stomach cramp, but all is well leading into Tuesday night's tilt at Petco Park. The 26-year-old boasts a .358/.401/.460 slash line through 120 games (507 plate appearances) this season with the Marlins.
