The Giants acquired Estrada from the Yankees on Sunday in exchange for cash considerations, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

San Francisco will add Estrada to its 40-man roster, but the infielder will be optioned to the Giants' alternate site as his new organization looks to get an extended evaluation of him. Estrada had appeared in 61 games for the Yankees across the past two seasons, generating a .214/.267/.348 slash line in 121 plate appearances.

India is out of the lineup Sunday at Arizona.

The 24-year-old started the first eight games of the season but will head to the bench for Sunday's contest. Kyle Farmer will start at second base in place of India for the series finale.

Kim went 1-for-2 with a home run, a walk, a hit-by-pitch and an additional run scored in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Rangers.

Kim's first career home run off Jordan Lyles tied the game in the fifth inning. The Korean is receiving more playing time in Fernando Tatis Jr.'s (shoulder) absence on the injured list. Kim is getting everyday starts at shortstop to prove why he deserves to be a starter on a major-league roster. Although he is only batting .210 to start the season, he still has at least until April 16 to receive everyday at-bats until Tatis can return.

Trejo's contract was selected by the Rockies on Saturday.

Trejo will join the major-league club for the first time after Chris Owings (thumb) was placed on the 10-day injured list. The 24-year-old should serve as infield depth with Owings and Brendan Rodgers (hamstring) sidelined. Trejo spent the 2019 campaign with Double-A Hartford and slashed .243/.290/.391 with 15 home runs, 49 RBI and five stolen bases in 125 games.

Rodgers (hamstring) is making significant progress in his recovery, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

Rodgers suffered a right hamstring strain in mid-March but has been participating in baseball activities recently. He's been doing light running, and he'll take batting practice and work on fielding Saturday. Manager Bud Black said Saturday that Rodgers is getting close to a return, but Black declined to give a specific timetable for the second baseman to make his season debut.

Rojas went 0-for-4 in Friday's 6-5 extra-inning loss to the Reds.

Rojas, who is filling in at shortstop for the injured Nick Ahmed (knee), had his batting average drop to .074 following the game. He opened the season as the primary leadoff hitter but was quickly dropped amid the hitting woes. If fantasy managers haven't benched him yet, news that Ahmed is expected to return this weekend should prompt that move.

Frazier went 2-for-4 with a walk and an RBI on Thursday against the Cubs.

Frazier was one of the few sources of offense for the Pirates in this one, as he laced an RBI single in the fourth inning. Serving as the team's primary leadoff hitter, he has only five hits in 22 at-bats, but he's also worked out five free passes in six starts. Though he's on top of potentially the worst lineup in the majors, Frazier should still score runs at a decent clip if he continues to get on base regularly.

McNeil went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk Thursday against the Marlins.

McNeil led off the ninth inning with the Mets down 2-1, and he drove an Anthony Bass offering over the right-field wall to tie the game. It was both his first hit and first homer of the campaign, as he entered the game 0-for-8 at the dish. McNeil should be a regular in the lineup at second base throughout the season.

Marte was placed on the 10-day injured list due to a right hamstring strain Thursday.

Marte pulled up while running to first base in Wednesday's loss to the Rockies, and he'll miss additional time as a result. He'll undergo an MRI on Friday to determine the extent of the injury, but Tim Locastro should serve as the primary center fielder while Marte is sidelined. Andrew Young was recalled from the taxi squad in a corresponding move to serve as outfield depth.

Marte (hamstring) will undergo an MRI on Friday, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

Marte isn't starting Thursday's series finale against the Rockies after he left Wednesday's loss with a right hamstring injury. His MRI could provide a better idea of the severity of the issue, and a timetable for his return should come into focus once the results of the tests are known.
