Gimenez (ankle) began a running progression Thursday, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Gimenez has been on the injured list with a sprained left ankle since early July but remains without a defined return timeline. However, it's worth noting that manager John Schneider said that Gimenez's first day of running went "better than expected," which keeps the door open for the infielder to return to action in the near future.

Iglesias is not in the lineup for Thursday's tilt in St. Louis.

After starting four consecutive games (two against lefties, two against righties), Iglesias has now been absent from the lineup for two straight contests. The Padres will roll out Jake Cronenworth at second base in Thursday's series opener.

Dubon went 1-for-3 with an RBI and a walk Wednesday against the Diamondbacks.

Dubon delivered an RBI single in the eighth inning and now has a hit in five of six games since the All-Star break. That hasn't come with much production in counting stats -- he has only one RBI and one run scored in that span -- but he is getting consistent playing time at either shortstop or third base.

Marte went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Astros.

Marte led off the bottom of the first with a 420-foot blast off Brandon Walter, his 20th homer of the season and first since July 3. Marte, who returned to the lineup Tuesday after missing Arizona's previous three games due to a personal matter, had gone just 10-for-47 (.213) through his first 13 games in July. Overall, the second baseman is slashing .287/.389/.566 with 41 RBI, 55 runs scored and a pair of stolen bases across 311 plate appearances this year.

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

Urias looked set to move into a utility role after he was reinstated from the injured list July 13, but he should have a fairly clear path to playing time in the short term after Denzel Clarke (adductor) and Max Muncy (hand) were both placed on the injured list Tuesday. The Athletics will hand Urias his third straight start at second base as they close out their series in Texas.

The Rays recalled Montes from Triple-A Durham on Wednesday.

He will join the 26-man active roster as a replacement for Stuart Fairchild (oblique), who was placed on the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move. The 28-year-old Montes is capable of playing three infield positions as well as the corner outfield, and while he's unlikely to see consistent at-bats, he'll provide the Rays with a versatile bench piece. Montes has spent the bulk of the season at Durham, where he's produced a .221/.272/.344 slash line with six home runs and seven steals in 272 plate appearances.

Sosa is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Rays.

Sosa will get a routine day off after he had started each of the previous 14 games for the White Sox. Chase Meidroth will occupy second base in Wednesday's series finale.

Gorman received a pain-killing injection in his injured back Monday, MLB.com reports.

Gorman first injured his back prior to the All-Star break and then landed on the 10-day injured list Saturday after he didn't progress as hoped. He will be eligible for activation next week, but the Cardinals will wait to see how Gorman responds to the injection before a timetable for his return comes into focus.

Estrada (thumb) was spotted taking batting practice prior to the Rockies' game Wednesday against the Cardinals, Kevin Henry of The Denver Gazette reports.

Estrada was placed on the 10-day injured list last Friday due to a right thumb sprain, but because his IL stint was retroactive to a week before that date, he'll be eligible for activation at any time. His ability to take BP on Wednesday suggests a return isn't far away, but Estrada may not be cleared to play during this weekend's series in Baltimore if the Rockies decide he needs to head out on a brief rehab assignment beforehand.

India is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs.

India appears to be getting a routine day off for the matinee contest after he had started in each of the Royals' last 30 games. Adam Frazier will replace India at second base and atop the batting order in the series finale in Chicago.
