MLB Player News

India left Saturday's contest early following a hit-by-pitch, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

India was hit in his right wrist/hand in top of the fifth inning by Logan Webb, forcing him to later be removed for Matt Reynolds in the eighth. Due to the fact that he was able to stay in the game for multiple innings, India can be considered day-to-day heading into Sunday's series finale.

Stott isn't starting Saturday's game against the Padres, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Stott hit just .059 with a double, a run, an RBI, a walk and seven strikeouts over his last 11 games, and he'll take a seat for the second time in the last five matchups. Yairo Munoz is starting at the keystone and batting ninth.

Lux isn't starting Saturday's game against Atlanta, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Lux recorded hits in six of the last seven games and hit .269 with a triple, three doubles, four runs and three RBI during that time. Hanser Alberto is starting at the keystone and batting seventh Saturday.

McNeil (hamstring) is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Marlins, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

McNeil will sit for the fourth straight game as he continues to manage right hamstring tightness. Given how much time time he's already missed, a move to the injured list appears more likely with each passing day.

Marte started at designated hitter and went 0-for-2 with two walks in Friday's 5-1 loss to the Tigers.

Marte hasn't played the field since injuring his hamstring last weekend. He served at DH on Tuesday and again Friday. Jake Hager filled in at second base with Buddy Kennedy nursing a wrist injury.

Hoerner went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Friday's 3-0 win over the Cardinals.

Hoerner opened the scoring with a long ball off Cardinals starter Andre Pallante in the second inning, and that was ultimately all the Cubs needed. This continued a solid June for Hoerner, who is hitting .292 (21-for-72), though he hadn't homered since May 26. The infielder has a .286/.320/.411 slash line with four homers, 22 RBI, 19 runs scored, six stolen bases, six doubles and three triples across 56 contests overall.

Estrada is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Reds, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Estrada started the past 15 games and will head to the bench Friday after posting a .231/.310/.385 slash line during that stretch. Donovan Walton will start at the keystone and bat eighth for San Francisco.

Drury isn't starting Friday's game against the Giants.

Drury will get his first day off since June 8 after he went 6-for-17 with a double, a run, an RBI and two strikeouts over the last four games. Donovan Solano is starting at the hot corner and batting second Friday.

Mathias was optioned to Triple-A Nashville on Friday.

Mathias provided infield depth for the Brewers over the last few weeks but saw sporadic playing time. He's hit just .125 with a homer, four RBI, two runs and a stolen base over six major-league games this year and should see more consistent at-bats in the minors. Mike Brosseau (ankle) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Friday.

McNeil (hamstring) is not in the starting lineup for Friday's matchup with the Marlins, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

McNeil was expected to have a shot at returning Friday, but he will miss his third consecutive game. Dominic Smith will start again at designated hitter and bat eighth in the series opener. McNeil remains day-to-day and will be available off the bench if needed Friday, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.
