Stott went 4-for-4 with a two-run home run, a double and three runs in Wednesday's 10-0 win over the Brewers.

Stott launched a two-run homer off Adrian Houser in the top of the third before later adding a double, two singles and scoring two more runs. The home run was his third of the season, all of which have come in the last five games. Since the beginning of June, Stott has gone 9-for-23 with three long balls, eight RBI, 10 runs and a stolen base over six contests. With Johan Camargo (knee) on the 10-day injured list, Stott will continue to have a shot to showcase his skills on a daily basis.

Drury was scratched from Wednesday's lineup against the Reds due to right Achilles soreness, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

Drury is in the midst of a seven-game hit streak during which he has a .444/.464/.778 OPS with three home runs, and it's unclear when the Achilles issue first surfaced. Alejo Lopez will enter the lineup in his place and start at the keystone, pushing Matt Reynolds to third base.

Lux went 1-for-2 with a walk and a stolen base Tuesday in a loss to the White Sox.

Lux and Trea Turner were the only Dodgers to reach base more than once in the contest, and they both collected a stolen base. The theft was Lux's fifth of the season, with three coming in his past seven games. Continuing to take advantage of his 93rd-percentile sprint speed on the basepaths would boost Lux's fantasy profile considerably, as he's currently slashing a modest .265/.350/.335 with only one home run and 12 RBI.

Drury went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 14-8 win over the Diamondbacks.

The long ball was Drury's third in four games, bringing his season total up to 11. The 29-year-old journeyman has paired his power with decent bat-to-ball skills (.266 average, 21.6 K%), making him a nice find on the waiver wire for fantasy managers who scooped him up earlier in the season. Jonathan India (hamstring) began a rehab assignment Tuesday and should be back from the injured list within the next two weeks, but Matt Reynolds rather than Drury looks to be the Reds infielder most likely to lose out on an everyday role.

Chavis is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers.

Chavis will get a breather for the series finale after he donned the Golden Sombrero in Tuesday's 5-3 loss. Yu Chang will draw the start at first base in place of Chavis, who went 5-for-20 with a home run, a double, two walks, four runs, three RBI and a stolen base in his last five starts before Tuesday's four-strikeout performance.

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.
