Rodgers (illness) remains out of the lineup Tuesday versus Atlanta.

Rodgers was scratched from the Rockies' lineup Monday due to an illness and apparently needs a bit more rest and treatment. Harold Castro is playing second base and batting seventh Tuesday against the NL East leaders.

Stott is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Angels.

Rodolfo Castro will get a rare start at second base as the Phillies take on left-hander Tyler Anderson. The left-handed-hitting Stott went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in Monday's series opener versus the Angels, though he managed to tally his 25th stolen base of the season in what was a 6-4 victory for Philly.

Rodgers has been scratched from Monday's starting lineup against Atlanta due to illness, Patrick Lyons of TheDNVR.com reports.

Rodgers was expected to bat sixth and man the keystone, but he'll now be considered day-to-day due to an illness. Harold Castro will play second base and bat seventh in Rodgers' place.

Albies (hamstring) will start at second base and bat second in Monday's game against the Rockies.

Albies was activated from the 10-day injured list earlier Monday after missing two weeks with a strained left hamstring. He'll step back right into an everyday role in the middle infield and will get a favorable setup this week as Atlanta opens a three-game series in hitter-friendly Coors Field.

Lopez is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rockies.

After three consecutive starts at the keystone, Lopez will shift back to the bench for Monday's series opener. He'll likely find himself in a lightly-used utility role moving forward after Atlanta brought Ozzie Albies (hamstring) back from the 10-day injured list Monday.

Albies (hamstring) was activated from the 10-day injured list Monday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Albies missed two weeks of action with a strained left hamstring but is back on the active roster without playing a rehab game. The timing couldn't be better with Atlanta slated to begin a three-game series in Colorado on Monday. Albies is sporting an .841 OPS with 28 home runs, 90 RBI and 11 stolen bases this season.

Hernandez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

The utility man will head to the bench after he started in each of the past four games while going 5-for-18 with one home run, three doubles, two walks, five RBI and two runs in addition to picking up reps in center field and at third base and shortstop. He should be a mainstay in the lineup versus left-handers and will see occasional starts versus right-handed pitching.

Rosario went 1-for-2 with a walk, a run, an RBI and a stolen base in a loss to Boston on Saturday.

Rosario got the start at second base and plated a run with an infield single in the first inning. The veteran then drew a walk in the fourth, stole second and came around to score the Dodgers' second run. However, Rosario was lifted for a left-handed hitter when righty Garrett Whitlock came on to pitch for the Red Sox in the seventh frame. Rosario is slashing .239/.282/.463 with three homers, 13 RBI, 10 runs and two steals over 23 contests since joining the Dodgers on July 26.

Marte went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run and a walk in Saturday's 8-7 extra-innings loss to the Reds.

Marte's fifth-inning blast put the Diamondbacks ahead 4-0, but it wasn't a lead they could hold. The second baseman has gone 6-for-18 (.333) with two homers and five RBI over his last five games. For the season, he's at 21 long balls, 67 RBI, 80 runs scored, six stolen bases and a .274/.355/.479 slash line through 122 contests.

Bae isn't in the Pirates' lineup Saturday against the Cubs, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Lefty Jordan Wicks will start on the mound for his major-league debut Saturday, forcing the left-handed bat of Bae into the dugout. Liover Peguero will man second base in Bae's absence and bat seventh.
