Chavis isn't starting the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Mets.

Chavis started at first base during Wednesday's matinee and went 2-for-4 with a double and a strikeout. He'll take a seat while Ben Gamel starts at first base and bats cleanup in the nightcap.

Stott isn't starting Wednesday against the Marlins.

Stott went 5-for-11 with a solo homer, three total runs and four strikeouts over the last three games but will retreat to the bench for a second consecutive matchup. Edmundo Sosa will start at shortstop and bat ninth.

Trejo will start at shortstop and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Brewers, Patrick Lyons of TheDNVR.com reports.

Trejo looks as though he'll get a look as Colorado's everyday shortstop after Jose Iglesias (hand) was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday. The 26-year-old will pick up his fourth consecutive start at the position after going 4-for-9 with a double, a walk, an RBI and a run over the previous three contests.

Rojas went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 6-5 loss to the Padres.

Rojas got his contribution out of the way quickly, taking Joe Musgrove's first pitch of the game deep to left field for a leadoff homer. This ended a 20-game homer drought for Rojas, who hit .276 with five doubles, 10 RBI and 11 runs scored in that span. The 28-year-old has been fairly steady this year with a .275/.354/.401 slash line, eight long balls, 19 stolen bases, 46 RBI and 58 runs scored through 103 games.

Kim went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 6-5 win over the Diamondbacks.

Kim entered Tuesday with no extra-base hits or RBI in his last nine contests. He changed that with a fifth-inning solo shot, his eighth homer of the season and his second since the start of August. The shortstop continues to do alright in a starting role, with a .256/.329/.382 slash line, 50 RBI, 49 runs scored and nine stolen bases through 126 contests.

Gorman went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a double, two RBI and one run scored in Tuesday's win over the Nationals.

Gorman broke out of a 1-for-15 slump in a big way Tuesday, as he accounted for three of the Cardinals' four runs with an RBI double and a solo shot. The double was Gorman's first extra-base hit since Aug. 26, and the homer his first long ball since Aug. 11. After losing playing time recently, particularly against southpaws, Gorman will need to keep hitting if he is to earn regular at-bats.

Donovan went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 4-1 win over Washington.

The rookie got St. Louis on the board with a leadoff home run in the bottom of the fourth inning, his third of the season. The solo shot ends a 143 at-bat stretch without hitting a home run, during which he had only three total extra-base hits. Donovan is still getting on base at a healthy .391 clip on the season, but he may lose playing time here and there if he cannot continue hitting the ball with more authority.

Hoerner went 2-for-3 with a triple, a walk, a hit-by-pitch, three runs scored and a stolen base in a 9-3 win Tuesday over Cincinnati.

Hoerner reached safely in his last four plate appearances, scoring three of Chicago's nine runs. He's now 17-for-19 in stolen base attempts and is 8-for-9 since the All-Star break. The big night ended a 1-for-23 slump and the two hits were his first knocks of September. Including Tuesday, the 25-year-old has produced a .169/.234/.254 slash line since Aug. 17.

Rodgers is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game versus Milwaukee, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Rodgers started the past four contests and will head to the bench after he went 0-for-15 with three walks and three runs during that span. Ryan McMahon will shift to the keystone while Elehuris Montero starts at third base.

Stott is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Marlins, Alex Coffey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Stott will head to the bench with lefty Jesus Luzardo on the hill. Edmundo Sosa is starting at shortstop and hitting ninth.
