Peguero is hitting .255/.326/.430 with six home runs, 11 steals, 19 RBI and 32 runs for High-A Greensboro.

July has not been kind to the 20-year-old shortstop, who's gone just 5-for-34 with a single homer and 14 strikeouts in 40 plate appearances this month. Peguero has an intriguing combination of plus speed and roughly average pop, but his strikeout rate has spiked to 26.2 percent this season -- not ideal for a guy who's supposed to have a great feel for contact. Since he's a solid defender who should have a good chance to stick at shortstop, it's okay if Peguero's offensive game develops a little slower, but if his speed falls off as he ages, that'll limit his future fantasy value.

Rojas went 3-for-4 with a double, run, walk and caught stealing in a 7-4 loss to the Dodgers on Sunday.

Rojas got on in the first, third, fifth and ninth innings for his second game reaching base four times this season. The versatile 27-year-old is slashing .256/.337/.424 and has made appearances at five different positions in the season's first half, helping Rojas play in an impressive 87 games thus far.

Frazier went 3-for-5 in Sunday's 6-5 win over the Mets.

The contact-hitting second baseman supplied three singles from the top of the order, although he wasn't directly involved in any scoring plays. Frazier finished the first half with a .330/.397/.463 slash line, four home runs, 29 RBI, 53 runs scored and five stolen bases. He'll start for the National League at second base in the All-Star Game after winning the fan vote in the midst of his best major-league season.

Rodgers (illness) remains out of the starting lineup Sunday against the Padres after being scratched Saturday, Daniel Guerrero of MLB.com reports.

Rodgers was a late removal from Saturday's lineup due to some stomach issues, and the infielder still appears to be feeling sick Sunday. He'll get an extra day off prior to the All-Star break as he looks to return to the lineup Friday against the Dodgers.

Lux went 1-for-4 with a triple, three RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 22-1 win over the Diamondbacks.

Lux was held out of the lineup Saturday, but thanks to the Dodgers racing out to an early 9-0 lead, multiple starters were pulled from the contest early. That allowed Lux to receive a relative normal load of at-bats in a bench role, and he was able to match his RBI total from his prior 18 games combined when he tripled with the bases loaded in the eighth inning. The 23-year-old infielder is now slashing .233/.316/.361 across 301 plate appearances on the season.

Rodgers was scratched from Saturday's starting lineup against the Padres due to illness, Danielle Allentuck of The Denver Gazette reports.

Trevor Story was also a late removal from the lineup due to soreness from a HBP on Friday. Garrett Hampson and Chris Owings will start at second base and shortstop, respectively. Rodgers can be considered questionable for Sunday's series finale.

Estrada went 4-for-5 with three RBI and a run scored Saturday against Washington.

Estrada continued to produce offensively for the Giants, putting together the first four-hit game of his major-league career while driving in a trio of runs. The 25-year-old owns a .360/.429/.520 slashing line in his 28 plate appearances this season, providing a boost to a San Francisco squad that currently has multiple infielders on the injured list.

Frazier is not in the starting lineup for Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Mets, Jake Crouse of MLB.com reports.

Frazier went 1-for-4 with a run scored in Game 1. He'll rest for at least the beginning portion of Game 2 as Rodolfo Castro mans the keystone.

Lux is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against Arizona, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

Lux sits against southpaw Caleb Smith, meaning he's now been on the bench against four of the last five lefties the Dodgers have faced. Chris Taylor starts at shortstop in his absence.

McNeil is not in the lineup for Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Pirates, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.

The infielder tallied a single and a run in four at-bats Friday, lowering his average to .304 in 23 July at-bats. McNeil has failed to recorded an extra-base hit this month, though, and he has driven home just a pair of runs. He'll likely return to the lineup for the nightcap after Jose Peraza plays second base in Game 1.
