Marte (hamstring) was activated from the 10-day injured list but isn't starting Wednesday against the Dodgers.

The 27-year-old has been sidelined since April 7 with a strained hamstring, and he won't immediately rejoin the lineup upon his activation from the injured list. Marte should be back in the starting nine within a day or two, while Tim Locastro receives the start Wednesday in center field.

Marte (hamstring) was activated from the 10-day injured list Wednesday.

The 27-year-old made rehab appearances at the alternate site and Triple-A Reno over the past week, and he'll return from a nearly six-week absence Wednesday. Marte was off to a hot start this season, going 12-for-26 with two home runs, four doubles, five RBI and five runs in six games before going down with the hamstring strain.

Peguero (knee) was placed on the 7-day minor-league injured list Wednesday, Rob Biertempfel of The Athletic reports.

Peguero had been dealing with a minor right knee contusion that kept him sidelined since May 9, but Pirates director of sports medicine Todd Tomczyk reiterated Wednesday that he doesn't think Peguero will miss extended time. Peguero had hit .364 with two home runs, four RBI and four stolen bases in six games with High-A Greensboro to begin the year.

Urias isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Royals.

Urias will take a seat after going hitless with four errors over his past two games. Pablo Reyes will take over at shortstop, batting ninth in the series finale.

Kim is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies.

With Fernando Tatis (illness) returning to the lineup Wednesday after spending the past week and a half on the COVID-19 injured list, Kim's run of regular playing time at shortstop looks to be over. The rookie had started in each of the Padres' last eight games, going 6-for-28 with a home run, two stolen bases, five RBI and two runs.

Marte (hamstring) went 2-for-3 with a walk and two RBI in a rehab appearance for Triple-A Reno on Tuesday, Jose M. Romero of the Arizona Republic reports.

Diamondbacks assistant general manager Amiel Sawdaye said Marte felt good following the first game of his rehab stint, which suggests he won't need too many games before he's ready to rejoin the major-league club.

Lux went 2-for-4 with a grand slam in a win over Arizona on Tuesday.

Lux broke open a close game with a bases-loaded blast in the bottom of the seventh inning off reliever Kevin Ginkel. The grand slam was the first of his big-league career. Lux has been heating up at the plate of late, going 10-for-25 with two homers and 10 RBI over his past seven games.

Diaz is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Phillies, Joe Frisaro of ManOnSecondBaseball.com reports.

Jazz Chisholm's recent return from the injured list looks like it will spell the end of Diaz's run as an everyday player at second base. The 24-year-old will remain on hand as a utility infielder for now, but since he could still benefit from some development time, the Marlins could send Diaz to Triple-A Jacksonville in the near future.

India will start at second base and bat sixth Tuesday against the Giants.

Shortly after his return from a brief stay on the COVID-19 injured list earlier this month, India appeared to have lost hold of the everyday role at second base, as Nick Senzel had started to get more work at the position. India's playing time has been back on the rise over the last week, however, as he'll be making his sixth start in a row Tuesday after going 5-for-17 with a pair of home runs, three walks and a stolen base over the previous five contests. India has benefited from Mike Moustakas (heel) missing the last three of those games, so the 24-year-old won't be a lock to stick in the everyday lineup once the veteran is cleared to return.

Dubon went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Monday's 6-3 win over Cincinnati.

The 26-year-old went deep off Cincinnati reliever Carson Fulmer in the sixth inning. Dubon doesn't have an everyday job, but he's hit safely in seven of his last eight games, going 9-for-20 (.450) in that span. He's come off the bench in four of those contests. The infielder has a .241/.289/.361 slash line with two homers, 10 RBI, five runs scored and a stolen base through 90 plate appearances.
