Dubon went 1-for-4 with an RBI, a run scored and a stolen base Monday against the Rangers.

Dubon drew a start in center field with lefty Taylor Hearn on the mound. He did all of his damage in the second inning, when he singled in a run, stole second base and then came around to score. Dubon hasn't earned consistent playing time since joining the Astros, though he has started five out of eight games against left-handers with his new club. He hasn't done much to make the case for a larger role, as he's maintained a 59 wRC+ and .246 wOBA across 85 plate appearances on the season.

Chavis went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run Monday against the Cardinals.

Chavis took Zack Thompson yard in the fifth inning to record his sixth home run of the season. It was also his fourth multi-hit effort in his last 11 starts, which has helped him record a .244 average in that span despite striking out at a 31.9 percent clip. Chavis has maintained a .327 wOBA and 111 wRC+ across 169 plate appearances on the campaign, and he should be locked into the starting first base role so long as Yoshi Tsutsugo (back) is sidelined.

Drury went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run and a walk in Monday's 5-4 win over Arizona.

Drury came up with the game's biggest hit in the fifth inning, smoking a 404-foot homer to left field to plate three runs and tie the score. The long ball was his 12th of the campaign and fourth in his past nine games. Drury has been swinging a hot bat in June, batting .413 (19-for-46) over 46 at-bats.

Donovan went 3-for-4 with two doubles, two RBI and a run scored in Monday's 7-5 win over the Pirates.

Donovan sparked the Cardinals' sixth-inning rally with a two-run double before scoring on a Dylan Carlson game-tying home run. Through 12 games in June, Donovan has stayed hot, going 16-for-46 (.348) with five doubles and eight RBI. The rookie utility man is up to a .310/.424/.431 slash line with a homer, 17 RBI, 17 runs scored, 11 doubles and two stolen bases in 41 contests this year. His versatility on defense and hot bat should allow him to continue pushing for consistent playing time even with only Corey Dickerson (calf) unavailable among the Cardinals' regular position players.

Semien went 3-for-4 with a walk and a stolen base in Monday's 5-3 win over Houston.

Semien singled three times Monday, producing his fifth multi-hit game this month. The veteran infielder's hot streak continues after his abysmal start to the season; over his last 17 games, Semien is 25-for-73 (.329) with seven steals and eight extra-base hits. He improved his season slash line to .226/.288/.351 through 264 plate appearances.

Castro went 3-for-5 with a run scored and two RBI in Monday's loss to the White Sox.

All three hits were singles but fantasy managers won't complain about the effort. Castro, who batted second, and leadoff man Willi Castro combined for five hits, three runs scored and three RBI. Harold Castro doesn't always have a regular spot on the diamond, though he's been effective offensively no matter where he plays, and he should continue to see time at third base in the short term with Jeimer Candelario (shoulder) out.

Albies has been diagnosed with a fractured left foot after leaving Monday's game against the Nationals.

It's too early to know when Albies could be back in action, but he will undoubtedly require a trip to the injured list. Look for Orlando Arcia to step in at second base with Albies out of commission for the foreseeable future.

Albies was removed from Monday's game against Washington after suffering an undisclosed injury, Joe Trezza of MLB.com reports.

Albies fell down after hitting a grounder to shortstop and was unable to run down the line, but he did walk to the dugout under his own power. The nature of his injury is not yet clear.

India (hamstring) was activated from the 10-day injured list ahead of Monday's game against the Diamondbacks.

It was initially reported that India would return from the injured list Tuesday, but the Reds made the move Monday night after he was able to go through pregame warmups without any issues. India is not listed in Monday's starting nine, but he would likely be available to pinch hit if called upon, and he figures to return to the lineup Tuesday for the second game of the series.

India (hamstring) is back with the team and is expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list prior to Tuesday's game against Arizona, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

India has been out on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Louisville for the past week, and it appears he's nearing activation. He hasn't sniffed the field since April 30 due to a right hamstring injury, but he should return as Cincinnati's everyday second baseman once he's officially cleared.
