Urias went 5-for-6 with two home runs, three doubles, five RBI and five runs scored in Thursday's win over the Cubs.

Several Brewers made a huge impact offensively during Thursday's win, but none matched Urias' output as he put together one of the best individual offensive displays of the entire MLB season. The shortstop extended his hitting streak to five games as well and is hitting an impressive .440 with a 1.422 OPS through 25 at-bats this month. Even though those numbers are unsustainable in the long run, there's no question he's been one of the hottest bats in the National League over the past couple weeks.

Rojas went 4-for-5 with a double, two runs, two RBI and a walk in a 12-3 victory against the Padres on Thursday.

Rojas singled in the first, walked and scored in the second, doubled and scored in the fourth, singled in the sixth and brought home two runs with a single in the seventh. The 27-year-old enjoyed his best game of the season and broke out of an 0-for-6 slump following a stint on the IL. Reaching base five times increased his on-base percentage a substantial seven points in just one game.

Albies went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Thursday's blowout loss to the Reds.

Albies got into a Jeff Hoffman offering in the eighth inning and sent it over the wall in center field for his 20th home run of the season. He has gone yard in two straight games and in three of his past four, though he's hitting just .171 so far in August. Despite the recent skid, the 24-year-old leads the Braves with 76 RBI on the year and owns an .802 OPS in 490 plate appearances.

India went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and a walk in a 12-3 win over Atlanta on Thursday.

India led off the game with a double to snap out of a 1-for-12 skid. He later drilled a solo homer to center field in the third inning off of Josh Tomlin, India's 14th round tripper of the season. The rookie standout is hitting .281 with an .865 OPS in 436 plate appearances while adding eight stolen bases in 11 attempts.

Rodgers remains day-to-day with right hand soreness, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

Rodgers was out of the lineup again Thursday and has now remained sidelined since exiting Saturday's game. Manager Bud Black gave some additional insight into the injury, saying that Rodgers remains day-to-day while trainers try to get the swelling and soreness managed. It's unclear if Rodgers will end up on the injured list.

Rodgers (hand) is out of the lineup Thursday against the Giants, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

Rodgers suffered a bruised right hand during Saturday's contest and hasn't appeared in a game since sustaining the injury. His absence will continue Thursday while Garrett Hampson starts at the keystone.

Rojas entered Wednesday's game in the seventh inning as a pinch hitter then finished up in right field. He went 0-for-2 with a strikeout.

Rojas was reinstated off the 10-day injured list Tuesday and started at second base, then was held out of the starting lineup Wednesday. Arizona's primary right fielder, Kole Calhoun, injured his hamstring in the second inning, and Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo first had Pavin Smith cover for him before Rojas entered the contest. While the injury could create more starting opportunities for Rojas, he is considered primarily a second baseman.

Albies went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run, an additional run, a walk and a stolen base Wednesday in an extra-innings victory versus the Reds.

The second baseman scored Atlanta's first run following a first-inning single, but he saved his biggest hit for last. While trailing by a run with two outs in the 11th inning, Albies launched a three-run shot to right field to send the team home with a win. The long ball was his 19th of the campaign -- two of which have come in his past three games. Albies is nearing the career-high mark of 24 homers he set in both 2018 and 2019.

Estrada was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Wednesday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

The 25-year-old was optioned to Sacramento over the weekend but will rejoin the Giants a couple days later with Johnny Cueto (elbow) landing on the injured list. Estrada will fill a depth role in the infield with Brandon Crawford and Tommy La Stella now healthy.

Rojas isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Giants.

Rojas returned from the 10-day injured list Tuesday and went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts. While he should still see plenty of playing time now that he's healthy, Josh VanMeter will take over at second base and lead off Wednesday.
