Rojas went 2-for-4 with three RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 10-5 win over the Nationals.

Rojas scored a run after a bunt single, knocked in a run on sacrifice fly and gave the Diamondbacks a cushion with a two-run single in the seventh inning. He'd gone through a rough patch, batting .114 over 12 games, but he's now hit safely in three straight (5-for-11). Arizona manager Torey Lovullo noted a change in Rojas' aggressiveness at the plate that began Sunday, per Theo Mackie of the Arizona Republic. "He's just a great, heady player," Lovullo said. "Part of his game is to just be a thorn in the side of the opposition and that charges him up. He ended up doing it again today." Over the last two games, Rojas has bunt singles in each while reaching base five times over eight plate appearances.

Estrada went 3-for-5 with two doubles, a walk and one RBI in Tuesday's 10-4 win over the Rockies.

Estrada spent the minimum 10 days on the injured list with a wrist issue, and he was one of many effective hitters for the Giants on Tuesday. He hit safely in nine of his 10 games prior to his IL stint, so it's a positive to see him pick up where he left off with his sixth game of three or more hits this year. For the season, the second baseman is slashing .308/.354/.480 with six home runs, 13 stolen bases, 18 RBI, 30 runs scored and 14 doubles through 48 contests. He should be able to reclaim an everyday role.

Wisely was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday, Danny Emerman of KNBR 680 San Francisco reports.

Wisely will head back to Sacramento after Thairo Estrada (wrist) was activated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday. Wisely appeared in 24 games after being called up from Triple-A on May 1, producing a .231 average with two homers, four doubles, six RBI, five runs and two stolen bases over 65 at-bats over those contests. The 24-year-old has the ability to play both in the infield and outfield and will likely return to the major-league roster again later this summer.

Estrada (wrist) was activated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Danny Emerman of KNBR 680 San Francisco reports.

As expected, Estrada will join the Giants in Colorado on Tuesday ahead of their three-game series with the Rockies, returning to the major-league roster following a minimum stay on the 10-day IL. The 27-year-old has produced a career-best .301 average while adding six homers, 17 RBI, 30 runs scored and 13 stolen bases over 193 at-bats in 47 contests with San Francisco this year. Estrada will replace Brett Wisely on the major-league roster after Wisely was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday, and he should return to his regular role at the keystone.

Miller is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Orioles.

Luis Urias will play second base and Abraham Toro will cover third versus the O's and right-hander Kyle Gibson. Miller has gone 5-for-21 (.238) with no extra-base hits so far in June, though he still owns a strong .824 OPS on the year.

Bae is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Athletics.

Bae tallied his 18th stolen base of the season in Monday's series opener versus the A's, but he'll grab some pine Tuesday with Jack Suwinski starting in center field and Rodolfo Castro covering second base.

Castro is out of the lineup Tuesday against the Giants.

Alan Trejo will start at second base and bat eighth for the Rockies as the Giants try a bullpen game featuring opener John Brebbia. Castro should be an option off the bench.

Bae went 1-for-3 with a walk, a run scored and a stolen base Monday against the Athletics.

Bae continues to hold a consistent strong-side platoon role in the Pirates' lineup, as he's started in 14 of the team's last 15 games against right-handed pitchers. He's had standout lines in each of the team's last two games, tallying three hits in seven at-bats while scoring a run, driving in two and swiping three bases. Bae has a decent .329 on-base percentage, which has helped him tally 18 stolen bases on 23 attempts for the campaign.

Arraez went 3-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a run scored in Monday's 9-6 victory over Kansas City.

Arraez is now 10-for-13 over his last three games and 15-for-27 (.556) in his previous seven, boosting his MLB-leading average to .399 -- 66 points higher than Toronto's Bo Bichette for second place. The 26-year-old is having a historic debut season in Miami, and despite slugging just one home run, he's maintained a .945 OPS thanks to his lofty batting average to go along with an 8.4 percent walk rate.

Mathias went 1-for-2 with two runs scored, two walks and two stolen bases in Monday's win over Oakland.

Mathias picked up his first MLB hit since May 7. He bumped his slash line up to .273/.385/.318 with five runs scored and an 8:9 BB:K through 52 plate appearances. He's appeared in two games since being recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday.
