India is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Nationals.

India will take a seat for the nightcap after he went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base earlier in the day, when the Nationals won 5-3 in the resumption of Wednesday's suspended game. Max Schrock will substitute in for India at second base.

Rojas went 3-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to the Giants.

Rojas ran his hit streak to six games, going 10-for-23 with five doubles and three RBI during that run. The utility player has been filling in at second base and right field while Asdrubal Cabrera (hamstring) and Kole Calhoun (hamstring) are sidelined. The Diamondbacks have dropped 10 straight, falling to last place in the NL West, so they may decide to begin preparing for next season. That means potentially handing second base to Rojas even when Cabrera returns.

Hoerner (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday, Russell Dorsey of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

It was initially unclear how severe Hoerner's left hamstring strain was, but now it's apparent that he'll require more than just a few days to recover. The injury comes at a bad time for the infielder, who was in the midst of a 10-for-27 stretch at the plate. Outfielder Rafael Ortega was selected from Triple-A Iowa in a corresponding move.

Frazier went 1-for-3 with a walk in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Cubs.

He was also hit on the left foot by a Jake Arrieta 88-mph breaking pitch in the second inning but remained in the game. The offensively-starved Pirates can ill afford to be without Frazier who is slashing .335/.401/.459 in 207 plate appearances. Fortunately, it appears as though the team (and fantasy managers) dodged a bullet Tuesday.

Hoerner was diagnosed with a left hamstring strain after leaving Tuesday's game against the Pirates, Russell Dorsey of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

The 24-year-old went 2-for-2 before suffering the injury while running out a failed bunt attempt during the sixth inning. Hoerner should be considered day-to-day until the severity of the injury is determined.

Hoerner was removed from Tuesday's game at Pittsburgh with an apparent left hamstring injury, Gordon Wittenmyer of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

The 24-year-old suffered the injury during the sixth inning while running out a bunt attempt, and he tumbled over the first-base bag. Hoerner walked off the field with the athletic trainer and should be considered day-to-day.

The Marlins reinstated Diaz from the 7-day injured list Tuesday.

The details behind Diaz's absence were never disclosed, but the infielder now rejoins the Marlins. His brief IL stint may have come at a good time, as Diaz went 2-for-28 in his last 11 games before being sidelined. He fills the active roster spot of Brian Anderson (shoulder), whom the Marlins placed on the 10-day IL on Tuesday. Jon Berti will get the nod at the hot corner Tuesday, though Diaz could appear off the bench against the Phillies.

Drury will start in right field and bat third in Tuesday's game against the Rockies, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

With the Mets dealing with a plethora of injuries in their outfield, the recently signed Drury will get the opportunity to bat in the middle of the lineup against Colorado.

Garcia was recalled by the Nationals on Tuesday, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

Garcia has a fair amount of prospect pedigree and is still just 21 years old, but he's shown very little in 46 major-league games thus far in his career. His poor 75 wRC+ at least comes with a respectable .270 batting average, but his .299 on-base percentage and .355 slugging percentage are both far from good enough. A .235/.293/.426 line in 17 games for Triple-A Rochester to start this season hardly suggests he's about to break out. Victor Robles (ankle) landed on the injured list in a corresponding move.

Turang has gone 11-for-30 (.366) with a double, a triple, four RBI and a 4:5 BB:K over his last seven games with Double-A Biloxi.

Turang is seeing action at the Double-A level for the first time, and after picking up just three hits over his first eight games, he's picked up the pace in a big way. With the Brewers having acquired fellow shortstop Willy Adames, it seems unlikely Turang will make his MLB debut this year. However, he spent spring training with the big-league club and is one of the Brewers' top prospects, so he could at least reach Triple-A if he keeps producing at the plate.
