Chavis started at first base, batted lead off and went 1-for-5 with a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 5-3 win over the Yankees.

Chavis was recently called up after the Red Sox placed Christian Arroyo (knee) on the injury list, and he's started both games since the promotion. He played second base Thursday and filled in for a slumping Bobby Dalbec on Friday. More significantly, he hit out of the top spot in the order for a second straight game with the Red Sox holding auditions for the leadoff spot.

Rojas went 2-for-4 with a walk, two RBI and a run scored in Friday's 11-5 loss to the Padres.

Rojas manned right field for the first time in a week, as the Diamondbacks juggled the lineup while Ketel Marte works his way back from a hamstring injury. The 26-year-old Rojas has started 10 of the last 11 contests and could continue getting regular at-bats for the team with the worst record in the majors. There is little reason for veterans like Josh Reddick and Asdrubal Cabrera to take playing time from Rojas, who has already set a career high in plate appearances.

Rosario went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 8-7 loss to Minnesota.

The shortstop's first-inning homer snapped an 0-for-15 skid at the plate. Rosario was on a hot streak prior to his slump, but regression was likely inevitable. He's posted a .265/.319/.382 slash line with five home runs, 23 RBI, 37 runs scored and seven stolen bases across 257 plate appearances.

Arraez went 3-for-4 with two triples, a double, three RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 8-7 win over Cleveland.

Arraez showed off some speed Friday with the pair of triples. He's gone 13-for-35 (.371) with three triples and two doubles in 10 games since he returned from a shoulder injury. The utility man has racked up a home run, 20 RBI, 27 runs scored, four triples and five doubles across 200 plate appearances. He's maintained a .295/.365/.386 slash line and should be a consistent presence in the lineup versus right-handed pitchers.

Marte (hamstring) ran the bases earlier in the day and is available off the bench for Friday's game against the Padres, Zach Buchanan of The Athletic reports.

Marte is absent from the starting nine for the second straight game after he exited Tuesday's game against the Brewers with left hamstring tightness. Given that he's available off the bench Friday, he figures to have a good chance of returning to the lineup Saturday.

Marte (hamstring) isn't starting Friday's game against San Diego.

Marte exited Tuesday's game against the Brewers due to left hamstring tightness, and he'll be out of the lineup for a second straight game, even after Thursday's team off day. Josh VanMeter will start at second base while Pavin Smith shifts to center field.

Wong was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake on Friday.

Wong was sent to the minors Saturday, but he didn't appear in any Triple-A games during the past week. The 26-year-old will now return to the major-league club after Justin Upton (back) was placed on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. In 17 games with the Angels this year, Wong has hit .184 with five RBI and two runs.

Lowe is not in the lineup Friday against the Angels, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

Lowe started the past four games and will receive a day off after going 3-for-13 with a homer, two doubles, three RBI four walks and three runs. Joey Wendle will cover the keystone while Yandy Diaz and Ji-Man Choi work at third and first base, respectively.

India went 2-for-4 with a pair of doubles, three runs scored and a walk in Thursday's 5-3 win over Atlanta.

India scored three runs Thursday with the help of Nick Castellanos, who knocked him in all three times. India's doubles marked the third game this season where he's had multiple extra-base hits. The rookie has been a great addition to the Reds' offense, slashing .266/.380/.414 with 29 RBI and 31 runs out of the leadoff spot. In addition, he has power and speed ability, slamming six bombs while stealing five bases.

Albies went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Thursday's win over the Reds.

The long ball was his third in the last eight games and 12th of the year. Albies is slashing .297/.347/.527 through 23 games in June, adding six steals, 12 runs and 19 RBI to his ledger over that stretch.
