  • Amed Rosario SS | NYY

    Mets' Amed Rosario: On bench Thursday

    Rosario is not starting Thursday against the Marlins.

    Rosario will head to the bench for Thursday's series finale after starting the past six games and going 5-for-23 with a home run and four RBI in the process. Luis Guillorme is starting at shortstop and hitting seventh in his place.

  • Gavin Lux SS | TB

    Dodgers' Gavin Lux: Available as 29th man

    Lux is starting at second base as the 29th man for Thursday's doubleheader against the Giants, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

    Lux will make his 2020 debut as part of the starting lineup for the second game of Thursday's twin bill. While his time on the major-league roster is currently only for the team's doubleheader, he'll likely remain on the taxi squad afterward.

  • Mauricio Dubon 2B | ATL

    Giants' Mauricio Dubon: On bench for Game 1

    Dubon is not starting Game 1 of Thursday's doubleheader against the Dodgers.

    Dubon is hitting .264/.308/.319 with a homer and two stolen bases across 28 games this season. Mike Yastrzemski is covering center field in his place.

  • Luis Urias 2B | ATH

    Brewers' Luis Urias: Retreats to bench

    Urias is not starting Game 1 of Thursday's doubleheader against the Reds.

    Jace Peterson is starting at the keystone in place of Urias in this one. In 12 games since returning from the IL, Urias is slashing .268/.333/.341 with four RBI and four runs scored.

  • Adam Frazier 2B | LAA

    Pirates' Adam Frazier: Sitting Game 1

    Frazier is not in the lineup for Game 1 of Thursday's doubleheader against the Cardinals.

    Frazier has started the past five games, going 5-for-20 with a home run and four RBI during that stretch. In his absence, Kevin Newman is covering second base and hitting third.

  • Luis Garcia 2B | WAS

    Nationals' Luis Garcia: Swipes first MLB bag

    Garcia went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Wednesday's loss to the Phillies.

    The rookie swiped the first bag of his big-league career in the fourth inning. Garcia continues to find success since being added to the roster, hitting .333 (11-for-33) over his last nine games with a homer, a steal, three RBI and five runs.

  • Nico Hoerner 2B | CHC

    Cubs' Nico Hoerner: Records three hits Wednesday

    Hoerner went 3-for-3 with a walk, an RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's 7-6 loss to the Tigers.

    Hoerner has fallen behind Jason Kipnis in the second base pecking order at the moment, but the former is still a plenty capable hitter. The 23-year-old has a bright future in Chicago, and he could certainly earn more playing time this season if he gets hot and Kipnis falls into a slump.

  • Mauricio Dubon 2B | ATL

    Giants' Mauricio Dubon: Heads to bench

    Dubon is not starting Wednesday against the Dodgers, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Dubon is hitting .264/.308/.319 with a homer and two stolen bases across 28 games this season. Mike Yastrzemski is covering center field in this one.

  • Gavin Lux SS | TB

    Dodgers' Gavin Lux: Joins taxi squad

    The Dodgers included Lux on their five-man taxi squad for their six-game road trip that began Tuesday in San Francisco, J.P. Hoonstra of The Orange County Register reports.

    Lux has yet to make his 2020 debut after a poor showing in summer camp prompted Los Angeles to leave him off its Opening Day roster and send him to the alternate training site for further development. Manager Dave Roberts suggested the Dodgers have been pleased with the progress the 22-year-old has made of late, with Lux notably taking pitcher Tony Gonsolin deep twice in an intrasquad game Monday. Lux could be at the top of the list for a promotion if the Dodgers require another infielder at some point, though it's unclear if he would immediately unseat Chris Taylor as the club's top option at the keystone.

  • Luis Urias 2B | ATH

    Brewers' Luis Urias: Out of Tuesday's lineup

    Urias is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Reds.

    He has cooled off a bit after notching back-to-back three-hit games in the middle of the month. Urias is now 2-for-22 with seven strikeouts over his last six games. Keston Hiura will start at second base while Christian Yelich starts at designated hitter and Jace Peterson gets his first start in left field.
