India left the game after being struck in the wrist by a pitch during Friday's minor-league action, Justin Rocke reports.

India didn't immediately exit the contest, as he managed to swipe second base before being lifted. He'll be considered day-to-day until the details surrounding his injury are unveiled.

Urias is starting at second base and will bat eighth Friday against Arizona.

Urias went 1-for-3 with a double in Thursday's series opener, and he'll get another shot to start with Luke Weaver slated to pitch for the opposition. Ian Kinsler will head to the bench as a result.

Drury is out of the lineup Friday against Tampa Bay.

Drury is 1-for-22 with 12 strikeouts over his last six games so he'll head to the bench for the series opener. Richard Urena will start at third base and bat seventh in his absence.

Marte is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Padres.

Marte started the first 13 games of the season -- six starts at second base and seven in center field -- but heads to the bench with Chris Paddack on the mound for the Friars. Wilmer Flores will start at the keystone while Jarrod Dyson is in center field for the Diamondbacks.

Semien went 2-for-5 with a double, a solo home run and a second run scored in a win over the Orioles on Thursday.

Semien's 396-foot solo shot to left in the ninth gave the Athletics some breathing room by extending their lead to 8-5. The hot-hitting shortstop has now reached safely in nine consecutive games and has three multi-hit outings over his last four contests. Factoring in Thursday's production, Semien's average is up to .323 over 73 plate appearances.

Rosario went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run and four RBI Thursday against the Braves.

Rosario took Kevin Gausman deep in the second inning to record his first home run of the season. In the sixth inning, he tacked on an RBI single that put the Mets up 4-2. Though there hasn't been a lot of power in his profile early on, Rosario has driven in 10 runners and is currently hitting .283 despite a 29.4 percent strikeout rate.

Merrifield went 0-for-6 in Thursday's loss to Seattle.

Merrifield set a franchise record by extending his hitting streak to 31 games Wednesday night, but his historic run would come to an end after taking the collar at the plate in the series finale. He'll look to begin a new streak starting Friday against the Indians.

Hernandez went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in the Dodgers' 11-7 loss to the Cardinals on Thursday.

Hernandez returned to the lineup after a Wednesday rest day and continued his hot early-season hitting, launching his fourth long ball of the season with this two-run shot in the third inning off Michael Wacha. The 27-year-old is locked in, boasting a sterling .349/.442/.721 slash line over 43 at-bats.

Albies agreed to an extension with the Braves on Thursday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports Albies will make $35 million over seven years, beginning this season, with the Braves also securing a pair of $7 million team options on the end of the deal. The deal locks up another piece of Atlanta's young core and should keep Albies in what figures to be a strong lineup for years to come. Assuming the 22-year-old plays well enough for the Braves to pick up both options, he won't become a free agent until after the 2027 season.

Solarte started at second base Wednesday, going 0-for-4 in a 3-1 loss to San Diego.

Solarte made his third consecutive start in place of Joe Panik (all three starts against southpaws), signifying a strict platoon at the keystone moving forward. The 31-year-old hasn't been doing much offensively early in his Giants career (.226/.294/.323 over 34 plate appearances), but this platoon situation will help highlight which days Solarte will be penciled in the lineup for DFS purposes.
