Urias (calf) isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Padres.

Urias left Monday's game due to a right calf cramp, and he'll be out of the lineup for a second consecutive game as a result. He'll also be able to heal during Thursday's scheduled off day. Daniel Robertson will take over at shortstop Wednesday, batting seventh.

Urias (calf) will sit Tuesday against the Padres, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Urias exited Monday's game due to calf cramps, and the issue is evidently serious enough for him to sit for at least one more game. The Brewers have an off day Thursday, so it wouldn't be a surprise to see Urias sit Wednesday as well in order to get three straight days to heal. Daniel Robertson will play shortstop in his absence.

Albies (calf) will start at second base and bat fifth Tuesday against the Yankees.

Atlanta won't have star outfielder Ronald Acuna (abdomen) in its lineup for the series opener, but the return of Albies from a two-game absence is a decent consolation prize. After struggling to a .139/.162/.278 slash line while batting second in each Atlanta's first 10 games, Albies has shown improvement since moving to the middle of the order. He's posted a 1.193 OPS in his four games batting fourth or fifth in the lineup.

Urias left Monday's game against the Padres due to a right calf cramp.

Urias belted a solo home run to tie the game at one in the third inning, but he left the contest almost immediately after. The team later identified the injury as a cramp, which is a positive development for Milwaukee. Urias will be considered day-to-day until further notice.

Rojas started at second base, batted leadoff and went 2-for-3 with a walk, a solo home run and two additional RBI in Sunday's 5-2 win over Washington.

Rojas went deep on starter Paolo Espino as the first batter of the game and came around to score two additional runs after a single and a walk. The two hits matched his season total entering Sunday's contest. This is the version of Rojas that showed up in spring training, and the one the Diamondbacks were missing through the first three weeks of the regular season. He had been a lineup staple through the first portion of the season, playing both shortstop and second base, but lost the everyday role after starting 2-for-27. With Tim Locastro (finger) and Ketel Marte (hamstring) sidelined, the Diamondbacks need someone to hit leadoff. That could be Rojas if he continues to hit.

Albies (calf) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.

Albies will close out the series in Chicago with consecutive absences while he continues to deal with a tender right calf that was hit by a pitch in Friday's opener. Ehire Adrianza will pick up a start at second base in place of Albies, who is being viewed as day-to-day heading into a two-game series with the Yankees that begins Tuesday.

The Dodgers placed Lux (wrist) on the 10-day injured list Sunday, Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Lux's sore right wrist isn't hampering him in the field, but since he hasn't been able to take full swings since being scratched from the lineup ahead of Thursday's game against the Rockies with the injury, the Dodgers opted to deactivate him in favor of infielder Sheldon Neuse. Manager Dave Roberts said that Zach McKinstry, Chris Taylor and Neuse are all candidates to pick up starts at the keystone while Lux is sidelined.

Urias is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.

Urias' move to the bench comes one day after he tied a franchise record by committing three errors in Saturday's 7-1 win over the Pirates. Despite the poor showing in the field, Urias still appears to be entrenched as the Brewers' everyday shortstop. He's not offering much from a fantasy perspective with a .154 average, one home run and one stolen base through 14 games, but Urias has been more valuable in real life terms thanks to an elite 23.5 percent walk rate.

India is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Cleveland.

India will sit for the second Sunday in a row, opening up the keystone for Max Schrock. The rookie began his career with a seven-game hit streak, but his productivity has tailed off over the past week and a half. In his last seven starts, India has gone 3-for-23 with three walks, two runs and an RBI.

Lux (wrist) is not in the lineup Saturday against the Padres, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

The 23-year-old was scratched from Thursday's lineup with soreness in his right wrist and is out of action for the third straight game. Manager Dave Roberts said Lux progressed to swinging the bat at about 70 percent Saturday, so there's a chance he's available for Sunday's series finale in San Diego.
