Lux is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Lux returned to the lineup Saturday for the first time since Sept. 1 after a prolonged absence due to a back injury, and though he experienced no reported setbacks, he'll head back to the bench after he went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts. Chris Taylor will shift to the keystone while Trayce Thompson starts in left field.

Rodgers was removed in the first inning of Sunday's game against the Cubs due to left hamstring tightness, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Rodgers was lifted prior to the bottom of the inning after he appeared to injure his hamstring while running to first base on an RBI groundout in his lone plate appearance of the afternoon. He'll be listed as day-to-day heading into Monday's series opener with the Giants.

Rodgers was removed from Sunday's game against the Cubs in the first inning due to a possible leg injury, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

Rodgers went 0-for-1 with an RBI in his lone plate appearance in the top half of the inning, but he appeared to tweak his leg while running to first base on a groundout. Elehuris Montero came off the bench to replace Rodgers in the Colorado infield for the bottom of the first inning. Expect the Rockies to provide an update on Rodgers' condition later Sunday.

Estrada went 1-for-3 with a hit-by-pitch, a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 7-2 loss to the Dodgers.

Estrada singled, moved to second on an error, stole third and scored on a fielder's choice in the first inning. He was in the leadoff spot for just the second time this year, though he's hit everywhere but ninth at least once as one of the sturdiest Giants this season. He's hitting .280 with two home runs, three steals, four RBI and seven runs scored through 15 games in September, lifting his season slash line to .263/.321/.406 through 126 contests.

Trejo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs, Patrick Lyons of TheDNVR.com reports.

Trejo started the past four games and will head to the bench after he went 3-for-12 with a home run, a double, three RBI and two runs during that stretch. Garrett Hampson will step in at shortstop and bat ninth Sunday.

Chavis is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.

Chavis started the previous four contests and will take a seat after he went 4-for-14 with a double, four RBI and two runs in that span. Zack Collins is starting at first base and batting eighth Sunday.

Bannon was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday.

Bannon, who was claimed off waivers after getting designated for assignment by the Orioles a little over a month ago, will take the spot on the active roster of Ozzie Albies (fractured pinky). Bannon has hit .323/.432/.477 with two home runs and four steals in 20 games since joining Atlanta's organization.

Albies was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a fractured right pinky finger.

Albies will not require surgery, but he has been ruled out for the rest of the regular season. He will be re-evaluated in three weeks, and it's possible he could return sometime during the playoffs. Vaughn Grissom should re-assume an everyday role at the keystone while Albies is out.

Albies exited Saturday's game against the Phillies with a fractured right pinky finger.

Given that there are less than three weeks left in the regular season, this probably means we've seen the last of Albies in 2022. He suffered the injury while sliding into second base. Vaughn Grissom will replace Albies as the everyday second baseman.

Albies exited Saturday's game against the Phillies after injuring his hand after sliding into second base, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Toscano reports that the broadcast showed Albies looking at his hand and grabbing a couple fingers after the slide. Vaughn Grissom, who replaced Albies, would be the backup at second base if Albies misses more time.
