Lux is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Rangers.

With the Dodgers set to face southpaw Kolby Allard, Lux will get the beginning portion of Saturday's tilt off. Chris Taylor will start at shortstop and bat second.

Urias is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Pirates.

Urias has been hot at the plate over his last 11 games, hitting .308/.413/.538. He'll get a rest Saturday, with Daniel Robertson starting at second base and Pablo Reyes starting at third.

Marte is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Angels.

Marte sits after grabbing just one hit in his last three games, a poor stretch which followed an excellent one in which he posted a 1.136 OPS over 10 games. Pavin Smith will be the center fielder in his absence.

Albies went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double and two RBI in Friday's loss to the Marlins.

The second baseman has been en fuego in June, slashing .410/.477/.641 through 10 games with three steals, five runs and 12 RBI. Albies hasn't gone yard since May 22, but otherwise there's little in his recent performance for fantasy GMs invested in the 24-year-old to complain about.

Rojas went 2-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored in Friday's 6-5 extra-inning loss to the Angels.

Rojas' streaky season continues. The utility player entered the night batting .086 (3-for-35) over the previous 10 games. He's experienced vast stretches of peaks and valleys, batting .200 in April, .320 in May, and .152 thus far in June.

Lux went 2-for-4 with a double, a home run, a walk, two runs and four RBI in Friday's 12-1 win over the Rangers.

Lux three-run home run in the first inning capped a six-run rally and he later tacked on an RBI double in the third for his 13th multi-hit game of the season. All six of Lux's homers have come in the past month as his power has drastically improved since April.

Rodgers went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 11-5 loss to Cincinnati.

The infielder slugged his third homer in the last six games. He's added six RBI and four runs scored in that span. Rodgers' chances of everyday playing time were reduced by the return of Trevor Story (elbow) on Thursday, but he'll likely compete with Ryan McMahon at second base and Joshua Fuentes at third base. Rodgers is slashing .278/.355/.463 with three homers, 11 RBI and four runs scored across 62 plate appearances.

Estrada was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento on Friday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Estrada spent five days on the active roster and went hitless in his lone plate appearance. Caleb Baragar (elbow) was activated off the injured list in a corresponding move.

McNeil (hamstring) is expected to return from the injured list next weekend, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

McNeil has been out for nearly a month with a hamstring strain. He's expected to begin a rehab assignment soon but will need at least a handful of games before he's ready for big-league at-bats given the length of his absence.

Guillorme (oblique) was activated from the 10-day injured list Friday, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports.

The 26-year-old has been sidelined by a strained right oblique since late April, but he'll rejoin the active roster Friday following a six-game rehab stint at Triple-A Syracuse. Guillorme could see significant playing time early on between second and third base with Jeff McNeil (hamstring) and J.D. Davis (hand) still on the injured list.
