Dubon went 1-for-4 with three RBI in Saturday's 11-6 win over the Dodgers.

The Giants took the lead on Dubon's two-RBI single in the second inning, and they didn't trail in the game. He added some insurance with a sacrifice fly to score Donovan Solano in the eighth. Dubon has a .228/.262/.325 slash line with two home runs, 14 RBI, eight runs scored and a stolen base in 122 plate appearances this year. He's gotten a fair amount of playing time since San Francisco has dealt with injuries, but he may be best suited for a versatile role off the bench given his performance.

Manager Davey Martinez said Sunday that Garcia's MRI on his hamstring came back negative, confirming that it was simply a hamstring cramp that forced him to leave Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Garcia did not play in Saturday's nightcap and he is not in the lineup Sunday. However, given Martinez's update, the infielder seems to have a good chance of being available off the bench in the series finale against the Brewers.

Diaz is not in the starting lineup Sunday against Boston, Joe Frisaro of ManOnSecondBaseball.com reports.

Diaz started the Marlins' previous four games, but Miami will turn to Luis Marte on Sunday to fill in for Jazz Chisholm (ankle) at the keystone. Diaz figures to be available off the bench in the series finale.

Frazier went 2-for-3 with a home run and an additional run scored in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Rockies.

Frazier made an impact at the top of the order in both games of Saturday's slate, going 1-for-4 in the first half of the twin bill and later adding his second homer of the campaign in the second contest. Frazier has hit safely in 13 of the Pirates' last 14 games and has been one of the team's most reliable offensive producers.

Garcia (hamstring) isn't starting the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Brewers, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Garcia left Saturday's matinee with a hamstring cramp and will undergo an MRI, so his exclusion from the lineup for Game 2 isn't very surprising. Jordy Mercer will take over at second base and bat eighth.

Garcia will undergo an MRI on his hamstring Sunday after exiting Saturday's game against the Brewers with a bad cramp, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

The severity of the injury and Garcia's expected return date should become clearer following the test. The 21-year-old had only returned to the big-league roster Tuesday but was making his second start in a row in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader.

Garcia exited Saturday's matinee against the Brewers in the top of the third inning with an apparent right leg injury, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Garcia was warming up ahead of the top of the third inning but went to the ground and called for a trainer. The team's medical staff appeared to be examining his right hamstring area, but the exact nature and severity of the injury aren't yet clear.

Peguero (knee) is in the lineup for High-A Greensboro on Friday, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Peguero has been dealing with a minor right knee contusion since May 9 that eventually forced him to spend time on the 7-day minor-league injured list. However, he had resumed baseball activities recently and should rejoin the starting nine for Greensboro going forward.

Marte isn't starting Friday's game against the Cardinals.

Marte will get a breather after he went 4-for-13 with two runs, an RBI and a walk across the last three games. Tim Locastro will start in center field and bat eighth.

Lux isn't starting Thursday's game against the Giants, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Lux will get a breather after he went 0-for-3 with a walk Wednesday. Chris Taylor will start at shortstop while Albert Pujols enters the lineup at first base.
