India exited Thursday's game against the Cubs with an apparent foot injury, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

India was hit in the foot or ankle with a pitch in the first inning of Thursday's game. He remained in the contest for a few more frames but was ultimately removed. It's unclear how long India may be sidelined with the injury, but he'll get some extra rest, as the Reds have an off day Friday.

Haggerty went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in a win over the Yankees on Wednesday.

Haggerty's blistering bat continued to produce Wednesday, as he opened the scoring with a 395-foot shot to left field in the sixth inning. The 28-year-old's play partly influenced the decision to send Kyle Lewis to Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday, as Haggerty has significantly outperformed his teammate at the plate and is capable of playing all three outfield positions.

Chavis is out of the lineup for Thursday's game at Arizona.

Chavis started the past four games and appears to have taken over the starting job at first base with a .913 OPS in August, but he'll take a seat for Thursday's contest. Josh VanMeter will man first base in the series finale for Pittsburgh.

Marte is not in the starting lineup Thursday versus the Pirates.

Marte will take a seat after he went 7-for-23 with two doubles, six RBI and three runs scored over the last six games. Sergio Alcantara will start at second base and bat eighth in the series finale.

Hernandez (hip) started in center field and went 1-for-2 with Double-A Portland on Wednesday.

Hernandez kicked off a rehab assignment with the Sea Dogs and played five innings in the field. An earlier rehab stint was paused after one outing, so the Red Sox will want to thoroughly evaluate the outfielder this time around. He hasn't played in the majors since June 7, which suggests the rehab stint could go into next week. The Red Sox will at least want to see him play nine innings and on back-to-back days.

Gimenez went 2-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's win over the Tigers.

Gimenez singled, stole second base and came around to score in the top of the second frame before later adding another base knock in the next inning. The stolen base was his 13th of the year and he has now logged three multi-hit performances in his last four games. Since the beginning of August, Gimenez is batting .400 with two doubles, five runs, an RBI and five stolen bases over eight games.

Drury went 2-for-5 with a home run, four RBI and two runs scored Wednesday against the Giants.

Drury took Yunior Marte deep for a three-run homer in the sixth inning to record his 22nd long ball of the season. He has hit only .185 across 25 at-bats and eight games since joining the Padres, though he's also tallied two homers, 10 RBI and four runs scored in that span. For the season, Drury has a .268/.329/.515 line across 416 plate appearances.

Kemp went 2-for-4 with two doubles, a walk and three RBI Wednesday against the Angels.

Kemp was one of the few sources of offense for the Athletics on Wednesday, as he came to the plate with the bases loaded in the seventh inning and managed a bases-clearing double. Since the All-Star break, Kemp has hit .283 with 11 RBI and five runs scored across 52 plate appearances. He should remain a regular in Oakland's lineup against right-handed pitching, but overall he has just a 77 wRC+ and .269 wOBA in 101 games for the season.

Rengifo went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run Wednesday against the Athletics.

Rengifo took Sam Moll yard in the sixth inning for his sixth homer of the season. He has quietly been productive since July 10, homering twice with 14 RBI and 11 runs scored in 26 games. For the season, Rengifo has posted a respectable 105 wRC+ and .316 wOBA across 300 plate appearances.

Diaz is hitting .309/.354/.500 with 14 home runs and a 22:60 BB:K through 89 games for Double-A Midland this season.

There was some concern about whether he would be able to sustain his productivity in High-A last year (.821 OPS) at a higher level of baseball, but he's done that and more. The power (40 extra-base hits) and the contact ability (15.6 percent strikeout rate) make Diaz an exciting hitting prospect despite his defensive limitations. Previously a third baseman by trade, Diaz has appeared there just seven times this year, as he's mostly played first base or served as the DH.
