Rojas went 3-for-5 with a run scored in Friday's 5-4 extra-inning loss to the Mets.

Hitting eighth in front of the pitcher didn't cramp Rojas' style, and he extended his hitting streak to seven games with the performance. The 26-year-old is slashing .429/.448/.929 over that stretch with four homers, six RBI and eight runs as he solidifies a spot in Arizona's everyday lineup.

Guillorme (oblique) won't return from the injured list when first eligible Sunday and may not be back next week either, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.

Previous reports indicated that Guillorme was trending towards a minimum-length stay, but he evidently hasn't progressed as expected. His oblique still hurts when he swings, but he's been able to go through fielding drills at reduced intensity.

India is not in the lineup Friday against Cleveland.

The 24-year-old is 0-for-10 with two walks and six strikeouts over his past six games, and he'll head to the bench Friday. Nick Senzel will take over at second base while Tyler Naquin starts in center field for the Reds. India has cooled off after a hot start to the season and may not have a strong grip on the starting job at the keystone.

Diaz isn't starting Thursday's game against Arizona, Joe Frisaro of ManOnSecondBaseball.com reports.

Diaz had started each of the last six games, going 3-for-18 with a home run, four RBI, two runs and five walks during that time. Jon Berti will take over at the keystone and bat eighth.

Kim will start at third base and bat seventh Wednesday against the Pirates.

Kim will pick up his third start in as many days, with all coming at different positions. The Padres have given maintenance days to Jake Cronenworth, Fernando Tatis and now Manny Machado to open up the at-bats for Kim, but the rookie's path to a full-time role with the big club remains blocked. With a .214/.274/.281 slash line through his first 62 plate appearances in the majors, Kim looks like he could still use some fine tuning at Triple-A El Paso.

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

Urias will get a breather after he struck out five times across the last two games. Pablo Reyes will start at shortstop and bat seventh.

Rojas isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Marlins.

Rojas has gone 8-for-19 with four home runs, a double, seven runs and six RBI across the last five games. However, Pavin Smith will shift to right field while Tim Locastro starts in center.

Mathias announced via his personal Twitter account that he underwent season-ending surgery on his right shoulder Tuesday.

Mathias was initially hopeful to avoid surgery when he tore his labrum in spring training, but he ultimately reversed course after failing to progress as expected over the past six weeks. Even before the shoulder injury surfaced, the 26-year-old utility man was considered a borderline candidate to make the Brewers' Opening Day club, so he could be at risk of being non-tendered this winter.

Marte (hamstring) will begin taking at-bats during games at Arizona's alternate site, NIck Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.

The plan is to have Marte lightly jog out of the batter's box before ramping up his intensity. Manager Torey Lovullo did not have an update on where Marte was in his running progression.

Rojas went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Tuesday's 9-3 loss to the Marlins.

The 26-year-old got Arizona on the board in the fifth inning by taking Sandy Alcantara deep. Rojas is on a tear, going 8-for-19 over the last five games with four of his five homers on the year, and with Kole Calhoun (hamstring) likely out until mid-June, he'll get a chance to settle in as the starting right fielder.
