Lux went 3-for-4 with a double and two RBI in a 7-1 win over the Nationals on Wednesday.

Lux's three-hit performance against the Nationals punctuated his red-hot July. The 24-year-old second baseman has an OPS of 1.004 this month and is in the midst of a breakout season. His 2.8 Fangraphs WAR is equal to Pete Alonso's and a touch higher than those of Kyle Tucker and Vladimir Guerrero. Lux also has a BABIP of .363, so it is worth watching to see if his numbers regress over the remainder of the season.

Gorman went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a stolen base and an additional run in Wednesday's 6-1 win over the Blue Jays.

Gorman entered Wednesday in an 0-for-13 slump, and he had seven strikeouts in that span. He hit a single in the third inning and a solo shot in the fifth to produce his first multi-hit effort since July 7. The infielder is slashing .229/.303/.430 with 10 homers, 23 RBI, 28 runs scored and six doubles through 198 plate appearances, and his steal Wednesday was his first at the major-league level. The rookie will likely remain on the strong side of a platoon at second base, but he's only started against a southpaw once this year.

Guillorme is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees.

Guillorme picked up three consecutive starts coming out of the All-Star break, but he'll find himself on the bench for both contests of the interleague series with the Yankees. While Jeff McNeil, Eduardo Escobar and Francisco Lindor are all healthy, they'll continue to serve as the primary options at second base, third base and shortstop, respectively, closing off all of Guillorme's avenues to regular at-bats.

Villar will sit Wednesday against the Diamondbacks, Evan Webeck of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Villar will get a breather after he went 1-for-6 with a strikeout over the first two games of the series. Tommy La Stella will slide over to third base while LaMonte Wade enters the the lineup at designated hitter and bats eighth in the series finale.

Garcia went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run and a triple in an 8-3 win against the Dodgers on Tuesday.

Garcia tripled in the fourth inning, singled in the sixth and connected on a go-ahead two-run home run in the eighth for his fifth three-hit game of the season. The long ball snapped an 0-for-11 skid over the 22-year-old's last three games in addition to a 31-contest home run drought. Garcia is slashing .287/.295/.421 with three home runs, 15 runs and 17 RBI in 46 games.

Urias went 3-for-4 with a homer, two runs scored and two RBI in a 7-6 win Tuesday over Minnesota.

Urias singled and scored in the second, hit a solo shot in the third and walked it off with a sacrifice fly in the ninth. It was his first three-hit game of the season and he has now reached base safely in 11 of his last 12 contests. In July, he has posted a .279/.354/.456 line with three homers.

Rojas is not in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Giants.

Rojas will get a day off after he went 2-for-4 with a walk, an RBI and three stolen bases in Monday's series opener. Sergio Alcantara will take over at the hot corner and bat seventh versus San Francisco.

Stott went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run and a two-run double in Monday's 6-4 win over Atlanta.

The five RBI were a new career-high total for the rookie, who had previously driven in three runs on two other occasions this season. Stott's two-out homer in the bottom of the eighth inning allowed the Phillies to take their first lead of the night and eventually put an end to a three-game losing streak. Though Stott is still under the Mendoza Line for the season (.196 average), he's slashing a more palatable .234/.312/.426 since the beginning of June.

India went 3-for-4 with a walk, a double, a grand slam and a second run scored in Monday's 11-2 rout of the Marlins.

The 25-year-old cleared the bases off Zach Pop in the fifth inning for his first career slam. India appears to have found his Rookie of the Year form once again -- over his last 14 games, he's slashing .315/.383/.611 with four homers, a steal, 11 RBI and 12 runs.

Rojas went 2-for-4 with a walk, an RBI and three stolen bases in Monday's 7-0 win over the Giants.

Entering Monday, Rojas had never had multiple steals in a major-league game, let alone three. This was also his second straight multi-hit effort. The infielder's rampant running has him up to 11 steals in 65 contests, and he's yet to be caught stealing. He's added a .279/.352/.408 slash line with five home runs, 28 RBI and 36 runs scored through 267 plate appearances.
