Garcia was scratched from the lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Giants due to back tightness.

Garcia's back injury will force him to watch Friday's contest from the dugout. Jose Tena will enter the starting nine to fill the void at second base and bat eighth.

The Rockies transferred Estrada (hamstring) to the 60-day injured list Friday.

Estrada strained his right hamstring during Tuesday's loss to the Blue Jays. He was placed on the 10-day injured list one day later, and his move to the 60-day IL means Estrada will not play for the rest of the season. He will end the year with a .253/.285/.370 slash line with one steal, nine doubles, three home runs and 21 RBI across 165 plate appearances. Adael Amador and Aaron Schunk figure to see more starts at the keystone with Estrada sidelined.

Young is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the White Sox.

The Mariners will give Cal Raleigh a day off from catching but are keeping his bat in the lineup at designated hitter, so Jorge Polanco will give up his usual DH duties but stay in the starting nine himself by taking over for Young at second base. Young had started in each of Seattle's last six games, going 6-for-17 with a home run, a stolen base, four walks, four RBI and four runs to improve his season-long slash line to .252/.326/.352 over 179 plate appearances.

Edwards went 4-for-5 with a double, two runs scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's win over the Astros.

The switch-hitting infielder set the table for the Marlins in a 6-4 victory, delivering his seventh multi-hit performance in 18 games since the All-Star break. Over that stretch, Edwards is slashing .342/.400/.466 with five doubles, two triples, two steals, five RBI and 14 runs, and he's two pilfers away from reaching 20 for the second straight campaign.

Urias (back) will start at second base and bat eighth in Thursday's game versus the Nationals.

Urias missed the last two games while dealing with a back issue, but he feels well enough to give it a go in Thursday's series finale. The veteran infielder will bring a .677 OPS into play Thursday.

India went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run an and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 7-3 win over Boston.

India dropped down to the No. 7 spot in Kansas City's lineup to make way for the lefty-hitting Mike Yastrzemski in the leadoff spot, and the former responded by going deep for the sixth time this year. It's unclear if the move will stick against right-handed pitching going forward -- the Royals faced righty Dustin May on Wednesday -- but it's initially not the most encouraging sign for India's rest-of-season fantasy outlook. Since the start of June, India is also slashing a pedestrian .237/.318/.382 with five homers, 15 doubles, 22 RBI and zero stolen bases covering 234 plate appearances.

Garcia is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.

The left-handed-hitting Garcia will hit the bench Wednesday while southpaw Jeffrey Springs toes the rubber for the Athletics. Garcia had started each of the last six games, going 8-for-26 with a home run, a walk, five RBI and four runs.

Schuemann will start at second base and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Nationals.

With Luis Urias (back) sitting out the series finale, Schuemann will stay in the lineup for the fourth game in a row and will make his second straight start at the keystone. Assuming Urias is able to recover from the back issue in short order, he'll likely be part of a three-man committee with Schuemann and Gio Urshela to fill out the second-base and third-base spots until Max Muncy (hand) returns from the injured list.

Urias (back) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Nationals.

Urias hasn't played since exited Sunday's 6-4 loss to the Diamondbacks with lower-back spasms and is considered day-to-day. Max Schuemann will get another start at second base in Urias' stead.

The Rockies recalled Amador from Triple-A Albuquerque on Wednesday.

Amador will join the 26-man active roster as a replacement for Thairo Estrada (hamstring), who was placed on the 10-day injured list. The Rockies will throw Amador into the lineup for Wednesday's series finale versus the Blue Jays, as he'll take over Estrada's usual spot at second base, per Thomas Harding of MLB.com. The 22-year-old could see regular reps at the keystone while Estrada is out, but Amador has managed just a .180/.253/.256 batting line over 148 career plate appearances at the major-league level.
