Rodgers went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run Thursday against the Cardinals.

Rodgers took Genesis Cabrera yard in the seventh inning to tally his 11th homer of the season. Ten of those home runs have come at home, and he has a .394 wOBA when hitting at Coors Field as opposed to a .263 mark on the road. Overall, that has translated to a .288/.336/.440 line across 437 plate appearances.

Gorman went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional run scored and a walk in Thursday's 8-6 loss to the Rockies.

Gorman went yard in the fourth inning to get the Cardinals on the board. This was his first multi-hit game since July 30, and he's gone a mediocre 5-for-22 (.227) in August. The slump has cost him an everyday role, as the lefty-hitting infielder often exits the lineup versus southpaws with the Cardinals enjoying good health. Gorman is slashing .242/.316/.464 with 13 homers, 27 RBI, 36 runs scored and a stolen base through 234 plate appearances in his rookie year.

India did not suffer a fracture in his left leg and is considered day-to-day, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

India exited Thursday's game after being hit by a pitch. Tests after the game confirmed the team's original diagnosis of a contusion, so it's possible that India will be able to suit up when the Reds resume their series with the Cubs on Saturday.

India was diagnosed with a lower left leg contusion after exiting Thursday's game against the Cubs, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

India exited the game in the third inning but appeared to have suffered the injury after being hit by a pitch in the first frame. Though no official word has been offered, India seems to have avoided a serious injury. As a result, he could be back in the lineup as early as Saturday, when Cincinnati's series against the Cubs continues.

India exited Thursday's game against the Cubs with an apparent foot injury, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

India was hit in the foot or ankle with a pitch in the first inning of Thursday's game. He remained in the contest for a few more frames but was ultimately removed. It's unclear how long India may be sidelined with the injury, but he'll get some extra rest, as the Reds have an off day Friday.

Chavis is out of the lineup for Thursday's game at Arizona.

Chavis started the past four games and appears to have taken over the starting job at first base with a .913 OPS in August, but he'll take a seat for Thursday's contest. Josh VanMeter will man first base in the series finale for Pittsburgh.

Marte is not in the starting lineup Thursday versus the Pirates.

Marte will take a seat after he went 7-for-23 with two doubles, six RBI and three runs scored over the last six games. Sergio Alcantara will start at second base and bat eighth in the series finale.

Drury went 2-for-5 with a home run, four RBI and two runs scored Wednesday against the Giants.

Drury took Yunior Marte deep for a three-run homer in the sixth inning to record his 22nd long ball of the season. He has hit only .185 across 25 at-bats and eight games since joining the Padres, though he's also tallied two homers, 10 RBI and four runs scored in that span. For the season, Drury has a .268/.329/.515 line across 416 plate appearances.

Hoerner went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Nationals.

Hoerner went deep in the seventh inning, giving him seven home runs this season. That's a career best for the infielder, who is also up to a career-high 95 games played this season. Hoerner isn't known for his power, though his even .300 batting average certainly carries some fantasy value. He should continue to see regular playing time moving forward for the rebuilding Cubs, and the 25-year-old should be squarely in their 2023 plans as well.

Gorman is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game at Colorado, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Gorman went 1-for-5 with a double, a run and a strikeout in Tuesday's series opener and will head to the bench for Wednesday's contest. Albert Pujols will start at first base while Paul Goldschmidt rests his legs as the designated hitter.
