Urias will start at second base and bat ninth in Monday's game against the Astros, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

Urias will get his third straight start, this time manning second base after filling in for Rafael Devers (wrist) at third base in Sunday's 7-4 loss to the Dodgers. Though Devers is back in the lineup Monday, Urias looks like he could operate as the Red Sox's primary option at the keystone in the short term after Pablo Reyes (elbow) was moved to the 10-day injured list. Since being acquired from the Brewers on Aug. 1 and joining Boston a few days later, Urias is slashing .213/.339/.383 with two home runs, 11 RBI and seven runs through his first 16 games with the Red Sox.

Rojas is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the A's.

Rojas saw a six-game hitting streak come to an end Sunday, and he will get a breather one day later. Jose Caballero will cover the keystone for the Mariners on Monday night.

Westburg is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the White Sox, according to Danielle Allentuck of TheBaltimoreBanner.com.

Westburg has held his own at the big-league level, but he is starting to lose some playing time, as he will open on the bench Monday for the third time in five games. As was the case in the last two instances, Adam Frazier will cover the keystone and Ramon Urias will get the start at third base.

Dubon is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Red Sox, Julia Morales of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.

Dubon racked up 11 hits -- including two homers and two doubles -- over his last 22 at-bats, but as been the case more often than not lately, he will open on the bench Monday. Jake Meyers, Chas McCormick and Dubon are all sharing the starts in center field at the moment, and it will be McCormick who gets the nod Monday.

Clement was recalled from Triple-A Buffalo on Monday.

The 27-year-old utility man will provide some infield depth while Matt Chapman (finger) is on the 10-day injured list and while Bo Bichette (quadricep) is day-to-day. Clement has a career .542 OPS over parts of three big-league seasons.

Ibanez is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Yankees.

Ibanez started at second base in four of the past five games, but he'll turn the keystone over to Zach McKinstry while the Tigers open up a four-game set with the Yankees. The 30-year-old began his recent run of starts with a two-homer, four-RBI effort in last Tuesday's win over the Cubs, but he went 2-for-12 over his subsequent three contests. Ibanez still looks like a part-time player in the Detroit infield rather than a mainstay in the lineup.

Rojas went 0-for-2 with a walk, a stolen base and a run in a win over the Royals on Sunday.

Rojas made good use of his one trip on the basepaths, stealing second after drawing a fifth-inning walk, recording his 10th stolen base of the season and ultimately coming around to score on another home run by Julio Rodriguez. Rojas has now reached safely in seven straight games, a stretch during which he owns a .414 average with three extra-base hits, six RBI, two walks, four steals and 10 runs.

Lowe went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, a double, a walk and four RBI in Sunday's 7-4 win over the Yankees.

Lowe opened things up with a solo home run off Carlos Rodon in the first inning and then later singled in a run as part of a four-run sixth inning while falling a triple short of the cycle. It was his fourth three-hit game of the year and his sixth game with at least three RBI, and it was also his first home run off a left-hander this season. Lowe has enjoyed a productive second half, slashing .261/.353/.496 with eight home runs, 23 RBI, 18 runs and a 13:28 BB:K in 136 plate appearances.

Dubon went 3-for-6 with a solo homer, two RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 17-4 win over the Tigers.

Dubon was one of nine Astros with multiple hits on the day and showcased some power for his seventh home run of the year and his second this month. The 28-year-old has done well with his chances and is slashing .383/.434/.596 since Aug. 9 and has recorded a hit in all but one start since then. Dubon will continue to play a utility depth role for the club, and it seems his only path to more consistent playing time would be an injury to one of the Astros' starters.

Schneider went 2-for-4 with one double, a home run, two RBI and one run scored in Sunday's 10-7 loss against Cleveland.

Schneider earned a rare start against a righty and delivered with his fifth home run in just 37 at-bats for the Blue Jays. Schneider has shown to run hot and cold in his first month in the big leagues. He now has six hits in his last 11 at-bats with three homers, six RBI and five runs scored.
