Rodgers (hamstring) isn't in the Rockies' lineup Thursday against the Dodgers, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

Rodgers has been dealing with discomfort in his right hamstring lately, and it will cause him to miss his third consecutive start Thursday. Alan Trejo will fill in at the keystone and bat sixth.

Kim went 1-for-3 with a walk, three stolen bases and a run scored in Wednesday's 6-1 loss to the Mariners.

Kim extended his hitting streak to 15 games. He's gone 22-for-53 (.415) with nine steals in that span. The surge at the plate has lifted the infielder's slash line to .288/.384/.451 with 27 steals, 15 home runs, 41 RBI and 63 runs scored through 433 plate appearances this season.

Rosario is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Diamondbacks.

Miguel Rojas will start at shortstop and bat ninth as Mookie Betts covers second base and bats leadoff. Rosario has tallied two homers, two doubles and nine RBI through his first 10 games with the Dodgers, but he's been on the bench two of the last three days.

Peguero is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

Since being called up from Triple-A Indianapolis shortly after the All-Star break, Peguero has posted a respectable .749 OPS, but he hasn't completely broken free of a timeshare in the middle infield. He'll take a seat Wednesday for the second time in six games Wednesday while Jared Triolo replaces him at second base.

Stott is out of the lineup Wednesday versus the Nationals.

Rodolfo Castro will start at second base and bat sixth as the Phillies face off against left-hander MacKenzie Gore. Stott is slashing .307/.374/.500 in 99 plate appearances since the All-Star break, though he's generally been more productive versus righties than lefties over the course of the 2023 campaign.

Rodgers (hamstring) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers.

Rodgers has spent most of the season on the shelf while recovering from shoulder surgery, but it's a tight right hamstring that will keep him on the bench for the second day in a row. Per MLB.com, Rodgers picked up the injury when he lunged after a grounder in the field in the first inning of Monday's 12-1 loss to the Brewers, but he was able to finish out the game. After Alan Trejo replaced Rodgers at the keystone for Tuesday's 7-3 win, Harold Castro will get the nod at second base for the series finale.

Marte (quad) went 2-for-5 with one RBI in Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Dodgers.

Marte was able to avoid missing a game after exiting Sunday's game versus the Twins with quad tightness. He was back atop the order Tuesday after Monday's team off day, and he played all nine innings at second base. The 29-year-old is slashing .284/.359/.495 with 18 home runs, 58 RBI, 73 runs scored and six stolen bases through 107 contests, though he's gone just 3-for-25 (.120) over seven games in August.

Alu isn't in the Nationals' lineup for Tuesday's nightcap against Philadelphia, Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com reports.

Alu went 1-for-4 and struck out twice during Game 1, and he'll take a seat to begin the second game. Michael Chavis will take Alu's place at second base and bat eighth.

Rodgers is out of the lineup Tuesday versus the Brewers due to right hamstring discomfort, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Rodgers tweaked his hamstring on a play in the field Monday in Milwaukee and could be held out of action until Thursday's series opener at Dodger Stadium. The good news is that the oft-injured 26-year-old infielder should not require yet another IL stint.

Marte (quad) is starting at second base Tuesday against the Dodgers.

Left quadricep tightness forced Marte to make an early exit from Sunday's game against the Twins, but his injury will not end up costing him a start. However, Marte has been in a slump recently, going 0-for-16 at the plate across his last five games.
