Urias isn't starting Saturday against Miami.

Urias has hit safely in each of his last seven games, hitting .276 with two doubles, four runs, an RBI and five strikeouts during that time. However, he'll be on the bench for a second consecutive matchup while Jace Peterson starts at the hot corner and bats seventh.

Lux isn't in the lineup Saturday against Colorado, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Lux hasn't started against any left-handed pitchers since returning from a back injury, and he'll head to the bench with southpaw Kyle Freeland on the mound Saturday. Hanser Alberto is starting at the keystone and batting ninth.

Rojas went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 10-4 loss to the Giants.

This was Rojas' first multi-hit effort since Sept. 11. The 28-year-old had a rough month, going 15-for-74 (.203), which cost him some playing time in combination with sloppy defense. He's been more good than bad in 2022 overall, logging a .264/.345/.376 slash line with eight home runs, 51 RBI, 64 runs scored and 21 steals in 120 games.

Rodgers went 3-for-3 with a double, a walk and a run scored in Friday's 10-1 loss to the Dodgers.

Rodgers snapped an 0-for-15 skid that dated back to Sept. 13, though he had a minimal stay on the injured list with a hamstring issue in that span. He was the only Colorado batter to log multiple hits in Friday's blowout loss. The second baseman lifted his season slash line to .263/.321/.399 with the productive effort, and he's added 11 home runs, 61 RBI, 69 runs scored and 30 doubles through 132 contests.

Kim went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Friday's 3-1 loss to the White Sox.

Kim hit just .207 (19-for-92) in September, adding three home runs, four doubles, seven RBI, eight runs scored and two steals in 25 contests. The shortstop nonetheless has maintained a near-everyday role. He's at a .248/.320/.375 slash line with 11 steals, 10 homers, 56 RBI and 56 runs scored through 146 games this season.

Hoerner went 1-for-4 with a double, two runs scored and three RBI in Friday's win over the Reds.

Hoerner made the most out of having only one hit. He drove in two on a second-inning double, then recorded another RBI an inning later on a groundout. The shortstop is batting a robust .284 this season, though he does have just three hits across his last 20 at-bats. Despite some recent struggles, Hoerner remains a solid fantasy asset, particularly when he's swiping bases, as he has 19 steals in 21 attempts this year.

Marte (undisclosed) was placed on the injured list Friday.

He was originally listed as part of Friday's lineup, so it's unclear what the exact injury is, but Marte hasn't been 100 percent healthy for much of the season. Buddy Kennedy, who was recalled in a corresponding move, could get some opportunities over the final days of the season.

Villar is not in Friday's lineup against the Diamondbacks, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.

Villar has now sat three of the last four games after starting several in a row. Evan Longoria is starting at third base and hitting fifth.

Urias isn't starting Friday against the Marlins.

Urias went 3-for-8 with two doubles and two runs over the last two games and will get a breather Friday. Jace Peterson is starting at the hot corner and batting seventh.

Chavis cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday, Alex Stumpf of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.

Chavis slashed just .229/.265/.389 with 14 home runs, 49 RBI, 39 runs and a stolen base over 129 major-league games this season and was designated for assignment by the Pirates on Monday. However, he'll remain in the organization ahead of the offseason after he went unclaimed on waivers.
