Dubon is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Dubon picked up starts at four different positions (shortstop, second base, third base and center field) over the past four games and was the Giants' top hitter during that stretch, going 7-for-16 with a walk, two home runs, seven runs and five RBI. Though he's finally producing after slashing .138/.133/.172 in his 15 games prior to the offensive eruption, it's likely too late for Dubon to make a serious run at an everyday role. The Giants welcomed back Evan Longoria (finger) from the 10-day injured list Wednesday and should also have Wilmer Flores (back) available within the next few days. Expect Dubon to serve as a utility man moving forward, with his opportunities likely to dry up even more once his bat cools down.

Rodgers isn't starting Wednesday against the Giants, Danielle Allentuck of The Denver Gazette reports.

Rodgers started in the first eight games in May, and he hit .313 with a homer, two doubles, eight RBI and six runs during that time. However, he'll be out of the lineup for a second straight game while Garrett Hampson starts at the keystone and bats eighth.

Frazier went 3-for-4 with a walk and a run in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Phillies.

Frazier has produced three multi-hit games in his last four starts and is reaching base at a magnificent .579 clip during that stretch. He'll remain in the lineup for Wednesday's series finale, manning second base while batting out of the leadoff spot.

Mendick is starting at second base and batting seventh in Wednesday's series finale versus the Guardians, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.

Mendick will replace Leury Garcia in the lineup, who was a late scratch. The 28-year-old was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte on May 5, going 0-for-3 with two strikeouts since his return to the big leagues.

Chavis will start at first base and bat fifth in Wednesday's game against the Dodgers.

With a 173 wRC+ against left-handed pitching this season, the righty-hitting Chavis is locked in as a lineup regular versus southpaws, but he'll pick up a start Wednesday against a right-hander (Ryan Pepiot) in the series finale with Los Angeles. Yoshi Tsutsugo takes a seat to clear a spot at first base for Chavis, who has gone 3-for-4 with a double, triple, two runs and an RBI through the first two games of the series.

India (hamstring) will likely require a rehab assignment before rejoining the Reds, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

India participated in agility drills Tuesday, and he's taking part in glove work and tee work a day later. Manager David Bell said Wednesday that a rehab assignment hasn't yet been planned, but it could begin near the end of next week. If that happens, the Reds are hopeful that India will be back in action sometime around May 23, when the team's next homestand begins.

Hernandez batted leadoff and went 0-for-5 with a run scored in Tuesday's 9-4 win over Atlanta.

Hernandez, who opened the season as Boston's leadoff hitter, returned to the role that last two games. Trevor Story had been leading off, but a recent slump moved him down the order to sixth. Hernandez is in a prolonged season-opening slump and is batting .168 with a high-water mark of .200 on April 29. He's hitless in eight at-bats with a walk in the two games since returning to the top of the order.

Brujan went 0-for-3 with a strikeout Tuesday against the Angels.

Brujan was recalled prior to Tuesday's game with Manuel Margot (hamstring) day-to-day. Brujan started in right field and hit eighth, though he later played third base and showcased the versatility that could help him pick up regular at-bats in the short term. He's spent the majority of his season with Triple-A Durham but is now hitless in six at-bats with the Rays.

Urias went 1-for-3 with two walks and a solo home run in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Reds.

His fourth-inning blast off Hunter Greene got the Brewers on the board. Urias has quickly made up for lost time after missing almost the entire first month of the season, batting .333 (8-for-24) through seven games with two homers, three RBI, seven runs and an impressive 6:6 BB:K.

Rosario went 3-for-4 in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the White Sox.

Rosario recorded three singles for a second straight game, but unfortunately the three batters right behind him went a combined 0-for-10 in this contest. The 26-year-old has lifted his slash line to .240/.295/.279, but he's still without a home run through 112 plate appearances. He's added a stolen base, seven RBI and 12 runs scored. With Andres Gimenez holding down the shortstop spot, Rosario has moved into a starting role in left field of late.
