Lux is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Giants, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Lux started the past six games and will receive a day off after going 5-for-18 with one run during that stretch. Hanser Alberto will start at the keystone and bat ninth in Lux's place.

Marte is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Marlins.

Marte will sit for the second time this season after going 3-for-26 with a solo home run and no other RBI while starting each of Arizona's last seven games. The poor stretch at the plate was a continuation of a rough start to the season for Marte, who enters Monday's contest with a .151/.213/.279 slash line across 94 plate appearances.

The Brewers reinstated Urias (quadriceps) from the 10-day injured list Monday, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

Milwaukee designated reliever Jose Urena for assignment to clear room on the active roster for Urias, who is expected to make his season debut in Tuesday's series opener with the Reds. After suffering the left quad injury in a March 19 Cactus League game, Urias was slow to resume baseball activities, but the Brewers appear confident in his health after he recently wrapped up a seven-game rehab assignment at Double-A Biloxi. Urias wasn't especially productive at Biloxi with a .148/.258/.185 slash line across 31 plate appearances, but he's expected to immediately reclaim everyday duties at third base. Milwaukee had been running a platoon of Jace Peterson and Mike Brosseau at the position for the first three-plus weeks of the season.

McNeil went 4-for-5 with two doubles, two runs scored and an RBI in Sunday's win over the Phillies.

Hitting third and getting the start in left field, McNeil continued a recent tear that has seen him pile up five multi-hit performances over the last seven games. The 30-year-old's hot streak has pushed his batting average up to .361 (26-for-72) on the season with one homer, one steal, 10 RBI and 13 runs through 21 contests.

Rodgers went 2-for-4 with a double, four RBI and a run scored Sunday against the Reds.

Rodgers returned from a four-game absence caused by a back injury and reclaimed his starting role at second base. He began the performance with an RBI single in the first inning, and one frame later he delivered a bases-clearing double. The effort marked the first time Rodgers tallied multiple hits in a game in 2022, and the double was only his second extra-base hit of the campaign. Rodgers has gotten off to a disastrous start to the season by posting a .109/194/.145 line, but Sunday's performance was an encouraging sign that he can get on track at the plate.

Rojas (oblique) will soon begin a rehab assignment and is expected back in the majors during Arizona's upcoming homestand, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.

Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said Rojas, who has been getting at-bats in extended spring training games, will play for "one or maybe two games" at Triple-A Reno. The rehab assignment likely rules out a return while the Diamondbacks finish a road trip in Miami, but Rojas could make his season debut at some point during the nine-game homestand that begins Friday against Colorado. He played seven innings at shortstop Saturday, but that was to ensure he's comfortable moving around the infield if needed. Lovullo indicated Rojas will see most of his innings at third base.

Urias (quadriceps) served as a designated hitter and went 0-for-3 while reaching base on a hit by pitch during his rehab game Sunday with Double-A Biloxi.

Urias has now appeared in seven games at Biloxi, recording only four hits but reaching base eight times in total across 31 plate appearances. He's also seen plenty of time in the field during the rehab assignment, so unless he experienced some sort of setback in his recovery from the left quad injury Sunday, he should return from the 10-day injured list and make his season debut for the Brewers on Tuesday against the Reds. Once activated, Urias should take on a full-time role at third base, where Jace Peterson and Mike Brosseau had been working in a platoon capacity through the first three-plus weeks of the season.

Trejo was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

Trejo mainly operated as a depth option for the Rockies early in the season, but he recently drew four consecutive starts. He appeared in 10 games and hit .257 with a homer, a double, six runs and six RBI, but he'll be demoted since Colorado will activate Garrett Hampson (hand) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

Trejo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

With Brendan Rodgers (back) returning to the starting nine, Trejo's four-game streak of starting at second base will come to an end. Trejo went 3-for-15 with a double, a walk and three runs over that four-game stretch, and he could end up picking up at least a handful of starts per week if Rodgers' struggles continue even though he's ostensibly healthy again. Rodgers heads into Sunday's game with a lowly .078/.172/.098 slash line across his 58 plate appearances on the campaign.

Drury will start at third base and bat fifth Sunday against the Rockies.

Drury will fill in at third base for the lefty-hitting Colin Moran, who takes a seat with southpaw Kyle Freeland on the hill for Colorado. It's the fourth consecutive start for Drury, who could have a path to steady playing time against right-handed pitching if the Reds elect to deploy him at second base following Jonathan India's (hamstring) placement on the injured list Sunday. Matt Reynolds will pick up the start at the keystone Sunday and could be a factor at the position during India's absence, as could Alejo Lopez.
