Andrus went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk and a run in a loss to the Guardians on Thursday. He also was caught stealing on his only attempt.

The veteran shortstop laced his 15th double of the season in the sixth inning and subsequently came around to score on Seth Brown's pinch-hit two-bagger. Andrus' productive night helped snap a brief 3-for-17 stretch that had encompassed his prior five games, and he's now carrying a .295/.347/.477 slash line since May 10.

Kemp went 1-for-3 with a double and two walks in a loss to the Guardians on Thursday.

Kemp worked out of the leadoff spot and enjoyed another busy night, reaching safely for the fourth time in the last five games. The veteran has picked up the pace a bit at the plate over the last week-plus, putting together a .351 on-base percentage over the last nine games.

Rojas went 1-for-4 with a single, two RBI and a run scored in Thursday's 5-4 come-from-behind win over the Reds.

Rojas' two-run single was amidst Arizona's four-run ninth inning that turned a loss into a win. He's been a remarkably consistent bat in the Diamondbacks' order, never going more than one game without a hit. The team's primary third baseman is slashing .284/.369/.463 over 28 games and 111 plate appearances.

Arraez (shoulder) is starting at first base and batting leadoff in Thursday's game against the Yankees.

Arraez didn't appear in Wednesday's win over the Yankees due to right shoulder tightness, but he'll rejoin the lineup for Thursday's series finale. Over his last five games, he's gone 8-for-18 with five runs, an RBI, a walk and a strikeout.

Rosario isn't starting Thursday's game against the Athletics.

Rosario is in the midst of a four-game hitting streak during which he is 7-for-17 with three runs, an RBI and two stolen bases. Andres Gimenez will shift to shortstop while Owen Miller starts at second base.

Drury (Achilles) will return to the lineup Thursday against Arizona, batting second and playing third base, Jody Jackson of Bally Sports Arizona reports.

Drury was scratched from Wednesday's lineup with right Achilles soreness, but the problem evidently wasn't a particularly significant one. He'll hope to recapture the form he showed immediately prior to the injury, when he hit .444 with three homers in his first seven games in June.

Donovan is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's matchup with the Rays, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Donovan will get a breather after going 1-for-8 in the first two contests of the series. Juan Yepez will draw the start in right field and bat sixth Thursday.

Gorman is out of the lineup Thursday versus the Rays, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Gorman will be on the bench for the third time in the last four contests after he went 1-for-4 with a run scored in Wednesday's loss. Tommy Edman is starting at second base while Edmundo Sosa enters the lineup at shortstop.

Rojas went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a triple and an additional run scored during Wednesday's win over Cincinnati.

Rojas returned to the lineup after being benched Tuesday and slugged his first home run since May 20, when he hit three against the Cubs. He added a leadoff triple in the seventh and came around to score on a Ketel Marte single one batter later. Across 27 games, Rojas is slashing .286/.368/.473 with four homers and 11 RBI.

Brujan went 2-for-5 with a double and three RBI on Wednesday against the Cardinals.

Brujan delivered an RBI double in the opening inning and followed that up by driving in another run on a single in the sixth. It was both Brujan's first multi-hit and multi-RBI performance of the season. Given that, it's unsurprising he is hitting just .147/.205/.200 across 83 plate appearances on the campaign. Despite his struggles, Brujan has started 12 of the last 14 games.
