Marte (ankle) is absent from the starting nine for Friday's game against the Rays.

Marte was diagnosed with a low-grade ankle sprain Tuesday and will spend Friday's series opener on the bench. The second baseman hasn't started and finished a game since Aug. 8, but the Diamondbacks don't believe he will require an IL stint. Blaze Alexander will bat ninth and play the keystone Friday. Per Jody Jackson of Bally Sports Arizona, Marte said Friday that he's feeling better and could be in the lineup Saturday.

Iglesias went 2-for-4 with a walk in Thursday's loss to the A's.

The veteran infielder got the start at second base and batted sixth, and he kept up the offensive production that has pushed him into a regular role. Even with Jeff McNeil turning things around at the plate, Iglesias has started eight of 13 games so far in August, batting .313 (10-for-32) with two doubles, three RBI and four runs. The lack of counting stats makes him tough to roster in shallower formats, however, and with Starling Marte (knee) potentially returning from the IL this weekend, Iglesias could find himself relegated to the short side of a platoon with McNeil at the keystone.

Turang went 2-for-3 with a double, a walk, a run and two stolen bases in a 6-4 win over the Dodgers on Thursday.

Turang began the bottom of the first inning with a double and subsequently crossed the plate on Jackson Chourio's two-run homer. That wasn't the end of Turang's production, as he reached base two more times and stole a base in each instance. The second baseman began August in a 5-for-35 funk, but he's gone 3-for-5 with two walks and three thefts over his past two contests. His two swipes Thursday moved him back into second place in the majors with 36 steals on the campaign.

Turang went 1-for-2 with an RBI triple, a stolen base and a run scored while also drawing a walk in Wednesday's win over the Dodgers.

Turang walked and stole second in his first trip to the plate before adding an RBI triple and also scoring a run in the second inning to tie the game 3-3. The shortstop had gone 0-for-11 over his last three starts before posting his third triple of the season in Wednesday's win. He's batting just .162 (6-for-37) since the start of August with two extra-base hits, five RBI and five runs scored, while the stolen base marked his 34th of the campaign.

India went 3-for-5 with two home runs and four RBI in a 9-2 win against the Cardinals on Wednesday.

India tormented St. Louis starter Kyle Gibson, touching up the veteran hurler for a three-run homer in the third inning and a solo shot in the fifth. The power outburst came on the heels of a rough stretch for India during which he batted a paltry .138 with only one homer over his previous 24 contests. In fact, the second baseman had been in a five-game, 0-for-20 slump prior to breaking out Wednesday.

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

Brujan will hit the bench for the series finale in Philadelphia after he had started in each of Miami's last three games while going 1-for-8 with a solo home run and a walk. The switch-hitting Brujan should have a regular spot in the lineup versus right-handed pitching, but his spot in the everyday lineup may not be fully secure just yet.

Gorman is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest in Cincinnati, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Gorman had started each of the last six games versus right-handers, but he'll begin Wednesday's contest on the bench as the Reds go with a right-handed opening pitcher in Emilio Pagan and a right-handed bulk reliever in Carson Spiers. Brendan Donovan will handle second base for the Cardinals.

Marte (ankle) is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Rockies, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Marte aggravated a low-grade left ankle sprain in Monday's 5-4 win and will now miss out on a second straight start against Colorado. He is expected to avoid the injured list, and with a team off day coming Thursday, it's possible Marte will be ready to play this weekend at Tampa Bay. Blaze Alexander was called up from Triple-A Reno and will start at second base Wednesday as the Diamondbacks look to complete a sweep.

Estrada (wrist) went 1-for-3 with an RBI and a hit-by-pitch in his first rehab game with Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday.

Estrada has been shelved for nearly three weeks with a sprained left wrist but is almost ready to rejoin the Giants' active roster. Because he hasn't missed much time, Estrada would appear likely to be activated for the weekend series in Oakland which begins Saturday. Once he's back, Estrada should see the bulk of the reps at second base for San Francisco.

Manager Torey Lovullo said Tuesday that Marte has a low-grade left ankle sprain and will not require a stint on the injured list, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Marte initially injured his ankle during Saturday's game against the Phillies and aggravated it during his lone at-bat in Monday's 5-4 win over the Rockies. He was out of the lineup Tuesday, but it's unclear how many additional games Marte might miss before his ankle returns to 100 percent. The Diamondbacks' decision to keep him on the active roster is an encouraging sign.
