Garcia went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 12-2 loss to the Marlins.

He spoiled Edward Cabrera's shutout bid in the sixth inning, giving Garcia his first homer in the majors this season. The 22-year-old appears to have no intention of going back to Triple-A, reeling off three straight multi-hit appearances and batting .391 (9-for-23) with six RBI in six games since his promotion.

Marte went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 14-8 loss to the Reds.

Marte's blast was part of Arizona's five-run eighth inning. After just two homers over his first 49 games, Marte has gone deep twice in the last five.

Urias (thumb) is starting at shortstop and batting leadoff Tuesday against the Phillies.

The 25-year-old sat out the past two games after leaving Friday's contest with a jammed thumb, but he'll rejoin the lineup for Tuesday's series opener. It should be Urias' final start at shortstop before shifting back to third base since Willy Adames (ankle/quadriceps) is expected to be activated from the injured list Wednesday.

Stott will start at second base and bat eighth in Tuesday's game against the Brewers.

Coming off a big weekend series against the Angels in which he started in all three games of the sweep while going 3-for-11 with two home runs, two walks and six RBI, Stott might have already been in good shape to open the week in a starting role in the middle infield. However, Stott's path to regular duties at second base became clearer Tuesday, when the Phillies placed his main competition for starts, Johan Camargo (knee), on the 10-day injured list. Philadelphia called up Scott Kingery from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to offer additional depth in the infield, but expect Stott to get a long look in a full-time role while Camargo is out of the picture.

Rojas isn't starting Tuesday's game against the Reds.

Rojas will get a breather after he went 1-for-11 with two strikeouts over the last three games. Jake Hager is starting at the hot corner and batting eighth.

Gorman is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's series opener versus the Rays.

Gorman will take a seat for a second straight game Tuesday after going 2-for-15 with a three-run homer and two runs while striking out eight times over four games of the Cardinals' five-game series against the Cubs. Tommy Edman is getting the start at second base while Edmundo Sosa mans shortstop and bats eighth. The lefty-hitting Gorman should have a regular spot in the lineup versus right-handed pitching, but he could sit frequently against lefties such as Tampa Bay's Jeffrey Springs.

Peguero has hit just .260/.291/.394 with one home run and six steals across his last 31 games for Double-A Altoona.

Thanks to a hot start, his season line still sits at .293/.320/.476 -- pretty good for a 21-year-old in Double-A. Nonetheless, Peguero's power production has dried up recently, and plate discipline has been an issue too, as he's posted a 3.7 percent walk rate and 26.7 percent strikeout rate over the aforementioned 31-game stretch. He has enough pop, speed and contact ability to be relevant for fantasy purposes one day, but he'll need to improve his approach against upper-level pitching before he makes it to the big leagues.

Drury went 2-for-4 with a solo homer and two runs scored in Monday's 7-0 win over Arizona.

Drury set the tone early with his solo shot off of Madison Bumgarner in the first inning. He then singled and scored again in the seventh. The 29-year-old has produced five multi-hit efforts in his last six games, raising his season slash line to .263/.324/.497. Drury is hitting .279 with seven long balls and 28 runs scored since the start of May.

Guillorme will sit Monday against the Padres.

Guillorme has been in the lineup on a more regular basis recently, starting eight of the last nine games prior to Monday's contest. He hit .379/.486/.414 over that stretch but will rest this time around, with Jeff McNeil starting at second base.

India (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

India underwent an MRI on Monday and apparently received encouraging results, as he's been cleared to return to game action with the Triple-A club. The 25-year-old hasn't played since April 30, so he'll require several rehab games before he's reinstated from the 10-day injured list. However, the Reds are hopeful that India will rejoin the major-league club in time for the team's upcoming homestead against the Brewers, which begins June 17, per C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic. He should reclaim his role as the Reds' everyday second baseman once he's activated since he slashed .295/.311/.341 with two doubles, five runs and three RBI over 11 major-league games prior to his absence.
