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.

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.
