Urias is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta.

Urias was activated from the injured list Tuesday and started the past five games, and he'll head to the bench after going 6-for-17 with a home run, four walks, two RBI and five runs during that span. Jace Peterson will start at the hot corner in his place Sunday.

Rojas started at third base for a second consecutive game and went 1-for-4 in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Rockies.

Rojas started both games since being activated off the injured list, slotting in at the hot corner in each contest. It looks like there's no need for Arizona manager Torey Lovullo to ease him back into the lineup, and Rojas appears to be the Diamondbacks' primary third sacker.

Hoerner went 3-for-7 with a double across both games of Saturday's doubleheader against the Dodgers.

The Cubs managed to score only two runs in total while getting swept in the twin bill, so Hoerner's efforts didn't result in any real offense. The 24-year-old infielder did extend his current hitting streak to five games, and he's putting together a solid season in general, slashing .289/.314/.434 with two homers, two steals and 11 RBI. However, he has scored only five runs in 25 games as he consistently hits toward the bottom of the order for one of the weaker offenses in baseball.

Marte went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Saturday's 4-1 loss to Colorado.

Marte extended his hitting streak to seven straight, during which he's 8-for-24 with six extra-base hits, two RBI and six runs scored. He was hitting a paltry .135 before the seven-game run and currently sits at .184 for the season.

Lux isn't starting the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Cubs.

Lux started in the first game of the twin bill and went 0-for-4 with a strikeout. Hanser Alberto will start at second base and bat ninth in the nightcap.

Stott was recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Saturday.

Stott's strong spring earned him an Opening Day roster spot, but he struggled to a .133/.161/.167 line in 31 plate appearances and was demoted in late April. He's back again less than two weeks later with the Phillies needing another shortstop as Didi Gregorius (knee) hits the injured list. If part of Stott's struggles can be attributed to the fact the he was playing irregularly and bouncing around the infield, there's a case to be made that he'll look better this time around if he's given a temporary everyday role at his natural position of shortstop. Whether or not he'll actually have that role is unclear, however, as manager Joe Girardi may prefer veteran utility man Johan Camargo in that spot.

Rojas started at third base and went 1-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in Friday's 4-1 win over the Rockies.

Rojas was activated from the injured list Friday and made his season debut. He's expected to be the primary third baseman while also moving around the infield to keep shortstop Nick Ahmed and second baseman Ketel Marte fresh and healthy. That rotation, along with off days for himself, opens up plate appearances for prospect Geraldo Perdomo, who remains on the roster following Rojas' activation.

Rojas (oblique) was activated from the 10-day injured list prior to Friday's game against the Rockies.

He will presumably slot into the lineup after going 2-for-5 with a double, a steal, four walks and one strikeout in two rehab games. Rojas' power could be affected by the deadened baseball, but he should play almost every day and is eligible at several positions.

McNeil went 2-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in Thursday's win over the Phillies.

He kept the line moving all night, including during the Mets' incredible seven-run rally in the top of the ninth inning when McNeil singled and then scored on a J.D. Davis pinch-hit double. Over his last 12 games, McNeil is slashing a sizzling .436/.476/.615 with three walks, five doubles, a triple, four RBI and seven runs.

Rodgers went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double, four RBI and two runs scored Thursday against the Nationals.

Rodgers began his productive effort with an RBI double in the second inning. He followed that up four frames later with a three-run home run, his first long ball of the season. Though Rodgers got off to a dreadful start to the season, he has collected multiple hits in three of his last four starts, during which he's also recorded four runs scored and eight RBI.
