Rojas went 3-for-4 with two doubles, an RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's 7-3 win over Milwaukee.

Rojas continues to rake. This was his fourth three-hit game in nine starts, and he leads the team with 14 hits and a .412 batting average. The key for Rojas, who was benched several times last year for shoddy defense, is maintaining a dependable glove. He's done that thus far, albeit in a small sample size, and is currently tied for the most outs above average among third basemen, per Theo Mackie of the Arizona Republic.

Estrada went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run in a loss to the Dodgers on Wednesday.

Estrada's ninth-inning homer had little impact on the game since the Dodgers were up 10-4 at the time, but they count all the same in fantasy. It was the infielder's second long ball of the campaign and marked the third time this year he's reached base three times in a contest. Estrada has been pretty productive so far this season, complementing the pair of long balls with seven runs, five RBI, two thefts and a .341/.386/.537 slash line through 44 plate appearances.

Gorman went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 7-4 win over the Rockies.

For the second game in a row, Gorman delivered a late-inning, go-ahead homer. He took reliever Justin Lawrence deep for a two-run blast in the eighth inning Wednesday. Gorman has hit safely in eight of 10 games, slashing .313/.436/.750 with four long balls, 10 RBI, five runs scored, two doubles and a 7:8 BB:K through 39 plate appearances.

Rosario went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Yankees.

Rosario has struggled at the plate this season, hitting just .204 through 12 contests. His homer Wednesday was his first of the season, and he's added three stolen bases, four RBI and five runs scored. Despite the poor hitting, he's remained in the No. 2 hole in the lineup when he plays. Andres Gimenez was in that spot when Rosario got a day off Tuesday. Myles Straw's also been good early on and could also move up the lineup if manager Terry Francona mixes things up.

Lowe is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Lowe will get a day of rest after going 2-for-4 with a double and a solo home run in Tuesday's victory. In Lowe's stead, Vidal Brujan will handle second base and hit ninth against Red Sox lefty Chris Sale.

Arroyo is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays, Julian McWilliams of The Boston Globe reports.

Arroyo has struggled to a .176 average and .428 OPS to open the year, and he'll get a day of rest against the Rays with Yu Chang getting the start at second base and hitting seventh.

Garcia (hamstring) is hitting sixth and playing second base Wednesday against the Angels.

Garcia returns to the lineup for the first time since leaving Friday's game with tightness in his hamstring. Michael Chavis will retreat to the bench with Garcia back in action.

Villar went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 5-0 win over the Dodgers.

With one out and one on in the bottom of the eighth, Villar smacked an Evan Phillips offering 403 feet to center field to give the Giants some extra cushion heading into the final inning. The home run ended a relative lull at the dish for Villar, who had reached base at a .409 clip over his prior six games but batted just .188 with one extra-base hit (a double) during that stretch.

Albies went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's win over the Reds.

His fourth-inning blast off Luis Cessa tied the game at 4-4. Albies has hit safely in four straight games but hasn't had a multi-hit performance since Opening Day, and the 26-year-old is slashing .229/.255/.354 to begin the season with two homers, three runs and six RBI. After stealing 20 bags in 2021 but only three in 64 games (on eight attempts) last season, Albies has yet to attempt a steal in 2023.

Torres (hip) is available to play Wednesday versus the Guardians, though he isn't included in the starting lineup, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.

Torres exited Tuesday's victory early with hip flexor tightness. Oswaldo Cabrera will take over at second base and bat sixth against Cleveland while Torres is expected to be able to pinch hit if needed.
