Lux isn't starting Wednesday against the Brewers, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Lux has slightly improved at the plate recently, going 3-for-14 with two homers, four RBI, three walks and seven strikeouts over the last four games. However, Hanser Alberto will draw the start at the keystone and bat seventh Wednesday.

Stott is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds.

Stott will take a seat for the day game after he was one of the few Phillies hitters who failed to produce in Tuesday's 11-4 win, as he went 0-for-6 while batting out of the leadoff spot. Second baseman Jean Segura will fill the table-setting role Wednesday, while Edmundo Sosa fills in at shortstop for Stott.

Rojas started at second base and went 1-for-4 in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Giants.

Rojas filled in at second base for a second consecutive game with Ketel Marte (hamstring) unavailable. Marte's injury is not considered serious at this point, so Rojas will eventually move back to third base, which is being handled by Emmanuel Rivera for now. It was the fifth start at second for Rojas, who's in danger of losing middle-infielder eligibility in 2023 depending on league requirements.

Hoerner went 3-for4 with a walk, a double, a run scored and an RBI in Tuesday's extra-innings win over the Nationals. He also stole a base.

Hoerner has been on fire this month, as he's now batting .380 in August with five extra-base hits and six RBI across 14 games. The shortstop has also stolen three bases this month and 13 for the season. Hoerner has been impressive, and the 25-year-old could be moving up fantasy draft boards heading into 2023.

India (lower leg) went 1-for-4 with a solo homer Tuesday in an 11-4 loss against Philadelphia.

In his first appearance since last Thursday's Field of Dreams game, India knocked a solo shot and struck out in his other three plate appearances. It was his eighth homer of the year and first in August. India hit second Tuesday, marking the first time the 25-year-old started and didn't hit leadoff since June 4 of last season, ending a streak of 159 straight starts atop the Reds' lineup.

Chavis is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against Boston.

Chavis is 1-for-14 with six strikeouts over his past four contests and will take a seat Tuesday for the second time in Pittsburgh's last three games. Kevin Padlo will start at first base and bat fifth in the series opener versus the Red Sox.

Marte (hamstring) is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Giants.

Marte's injury prevented him from starting Monday, and it will keep him in a reserve role for at least another night. Manager Torey Lovullo downplayed the injury when asked, so Marte should have a chance to get back in there Wednesday.

Gorman is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rockies.

Left-hander Kyle Freeland will start Tuesday's contest for the Rockies, so as is typically the case when a southpaw is on the mound, Gorman will open on the bench and Albert Pujols will serve as the Cardinals' designated hitter.

Drury is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Marlins, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Drury went 1-for-14 (.071) with six strikeouts over his last three games, so manager Bob Melvin decided to hold him out for the first time since he was acquired by the Padres at the trade deadline. Wil Myers will enter the lineup in Drury's place.

Stott went 3-for-5 with a stolen base in Monday's 4-3 win over the Reds.

Stott has now extended his hitting streak to eight games, and he's batting a blistering .455 with six runs, five RBI and two stolen bases over that stretch. He's been rewarded for his red-hot hitting with a promotion into the leadoff role, though his run atop the lineup could come to an end as soon as Kyle Schwarber (calf) is ready to go. Schwarber will remain out for Tuesday's game, however, so Stott will pick up another start at shortstop and as the Phillies' leadoff man.
