Hernandez was recalled by the Diamondbacks on Tuesday.

Hernandez didn't make Arizona's Opening Day roster after being acquired from Texas in early April, but he'll get his chance not long later. His stat line in his 43-game debut last season was an odd one, as he stole 11 bases and walked at a 10.2 percent clip but also managed a paltry 0.9 percent barrel rate and a 15.9 percent hard-hit rate, leading to a .217/.315/.252 slash line. That speed gives him the potential for fantasy upside, but the complete lack of pop may make it hard for him to earn regular at-bats. He'll take the bench spot that had been occupied by Drew Ellis, who was optioned in a corresponding move.

India will start at second base and bat leadoff in Tuesday's game against the Guardians.

Fresh off winning the National League's Rookie of the Year Award in 2021, India is entrenched as the Reds' table setter. He's gotten off to a somewhat slow start to the 2022 campaign with a .222/.263/.222 slash line over 19 plate appearances, but his fantasy managers shouldn't overreact to the small sample size.

McNeil isn't starting Monday's game against the Phillies, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

McNeil was in the lineup for each of the first four games of the regular season and went 7-for-16 with a homer, three RBI, two runs, two walks and a strikeout. He'll get a breather while Luis Guillorme starts at second base and bats eighth Monday.

Stott will sit Monday against the Mets, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Stott and Alec Bohm have alternated starts at the hot corner through four games. Stott's previous day off came against lefty Cole Irvin, but he'll sit here against righty Taijuan Walker, suggesting the situation isn't necessarily a true platoon. It may take a few more games to get a full sense of how often the rookie will be in the lineup this season.

Chavis went 3-for-4 with a grand slam, double and a walk in Sunday's win over the Cardinals.

Chavis drew his first start of the season, as Daniel Vogelbach moved to the bench with a lefty on the mound. He made the most of his opportunity, the highlight being when he took Steven Matz yard for a grand slam in the third inning. Chavis is out of an everyday job for the time being, and he'll need to show improved ability to make contact if he hopes to work his way into the lineup more frequently.

Rodgers went 0-for-3 with a walk, one RBI and one run scored Sunday against the Dodgers.

Rodgers didn't collect a hit but took advantage of a strong offensive performance by the entire Rockies' offense. He's hit third in each of the team's games early on in the campaign, though he has only one hit in 13 plate appearances with four strikeouts. Assuming he snaps out of his early season slump, he should be in a strong position to rack up counting stats.

Dubon went 1-for-3 with a double, a run and an RBI in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Marlins.

Dubon didn't start in either of the first two games of the regular season, but he joined the lineup for Sunday's series finale. The 27-year-old figures to play a utility role for the Giants while Tommy La Stella (Achilles) and Evan Longoria (finger) are sidelined, but it's possible that he'll lose his spot on the major-league roster once the two infielders are able to return.

Marte went 1-for-3 with a double, walk and stolen base in a 10-5 loss to San Diego on Sunday.

Marte doubled and stole third in the first inning and later tacked on a walk in the eighth. Arizona's best player had reached base just once through the first three games of the season. It was encouraging to see Marte active on the bases after he notched only three steals across 135 games in 2020 and 2021 combined.

Stott isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Athletics, Jim Salisbury of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Stott went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI in his major-league debut Friday, but he'll take a seat a day later. Alec Bohm will start at the hot corner and bat eighth.

McNeil went 3-for-4 with a walk, a home run, two runs scored and two RBI in Friday's 7-3 win over the Nationals.

He got the Mets on the board with a solo shot in the third inning off Josiah Gray, but McNeil kept contributing the rest of the night. The 30-year-old was back at second base for this one after getting the nod in left field Opening Day, but he's been hot at the plate regardless of his defensive assignment, racking up five hits and three RBI over the two games.
