The Nationals scratched Garcia from the lineup for Sunday's game in Milwaukee for an unspecified reason.

Expect the Nationals to provide an explanation behind Garcia's removal from the starting nine later Sunday. Ildemaro Vargas will replace Garcia at second base and will bat seventh.

India (knee) will start at second base and bat leadoff in Sunday's game against the Marlins.

India suffered a left knee contusion in Saturday's 10-6 win and was lifted from the game after three innings, but his presence in the lineup a day later suggests his early exit was likely just precautionary. Assuming India can get through Sunday's game unscathed, he'll have ample time to rest up over the All-Star break before the Reds return to action next Friday in Washington.

Hoerner went 3-for-8 with a walk, a run scored and an RBI across both games of Saturday's doubleheader against the Cardinals.

The Cubs got swept in the twin bill while being outscored 16-7, but Hoerner did his best to spark some offense and reached base twice in each contest. The 27-year-old infielder extended his hitting streak to 10 games in the process, a stretch in which he's slashing .375/.426/.425 with two doubles, six runs and eight RBI. Hoerner hasn't even attempted a stolen base since June 27 however, and his 14 steals through 88 games is a mild disappointment after he swiped 43 bags in 2023.

Marte went 2-for-3 with two walks, one RBI, one stolen base and one run scored in Saturday's 12-1 win over the Blue Jays.

Marte earned his third multi-hit effort in his last four games. The second baseman is batting .297 (11-for-37) with three steals over 10 games in July as he continues to provide well-rounded offensive production from the top-third of the order. Overall, Marte has 18 home runs, six steals, 53 RBI, 63 runs scored and a .288/.359/.506 slash line across 404 plate appearances this season.

Garcia went 2-for-2 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's 6-5 win against the Brewers.

Garcia was absent from Saturday's starting nine after starting the previous eight games, but he replaced Trey Lipscomb as a pinch hitter in the seventh and cut Washington's deficit in half with a solo homer. It was the 24-year-old's 11th long ball of the campaign, four of which have come in July. Through 12 games this month he's hitting .415 with seven extra-base hits, nine runs and nine RBI.

India was removed from Saturday's game against the Marlins with a left knee contusion, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

India was involved in a collision at second base before being removed at the start of the fourth inning. The 27-year-old was scratched from Wednesday's game against the Rockies with the same injury designation. Cincinnati will close out its series against the Marlins on Sunday before the All-Star break.

Bogaerts isn't in Saturday's starting lineup versus Atlanta, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Bogaerts returned from a lengthy absence Friday, going 2-for-4 while starting at second base. There's no word that he aggravated the shoulder injury that landed him on the IL on May 20, so his absence from the lineup Saturday is presumably part of the plan to ease him back into action. Jake Cronenworth is playing second base in the middle game of the series while Luis Arraez is moving from DH to first base.

Iglesias went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs in Friday's 7-6 win over the Rockies.

The veteran infielder took Tanner Gordon deep in the second inning before turning around a Peter Lambert fastball in the fifth, giving Iglesias his first career multi-homer performance in his 1,124th big-league game. Jeff McNeil has been bouncing between the keystone and a corner outfield spot with Starling Marte (knee) on the shelf, but McNeil would likely be losing playing time at second base even if the rest of the roster was healthy -- in 79 plate appearances since joining the Mets, Iglesias is slashing .347/.380/.560 with seven doubles, three home runs, 12 runs and 16 RBI.

India went 1-for-4 with a walk and a solo home run in Friday's 7-4 win over the Marlins.

India got the Reds ahead early with a leadoff home run in the bottom of the first inning. It was his second home run in three games. India's batting .275/.375/.426 with eight homers, 38 RBI, eight steals and 47 runs through 87 games this season.

Rodgers went 1-for-3 with a walk, a solo home run and a second run scored in Friday's 7-6 loss to the Mets.

His seventh-inning shot off Sean Manaea kicked off a late rally for the Rockies that fell just short. It was Rodgers' first homer in July, and only his second extra-base hit -- the 27-year-old infielder is slashing just .209/.277/.302 through 11 games on the month with two RBI and five runs.
