Rodgers was recalled from Colorado's alternate camp site Wednesday.

Rodgers is set to join the Rockies for the first time all season after failing to break camp with the team. The prospect struggled in his big-league debut in 2019, slashing .224/.272/.250 with 27 strikeouts in 25 games, though he hit .350/.413/.622 across 37 games at Triple-A prior to his promotion. He'll replace David Dahl -- who was sent to the injured list with lower-back soreness -- on the active roster. Rodgers should provide the Rockies with infield depth during his time in the majors.

Hoerner is not in the lineup for Game 2 of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Cardinals.

Hoerner started Game 1 at third base and went 0-for-2 with one strikeout in the seven-inning loss. David Bote will start at the hot corner in place of Kris Bryant (wrist) in the nightcap.

McNeil is not starting Wednesday against the Marlins.

McNeil -- who returned from a minor knee injury earlier in the week -- will head to the bench Wednesday after starting the past two games and going 1-for-8 with an RBI. In his absence, the Mets are going with an outfield of Dominic Smith, Brandon Nimmo and Michael Conforto from left to right.

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

Dubon will sit for a second straight game as the Giants go with an outfield consisting of Darin Ruf, Mike Yastrzemski and Hunter Pence from left to right. Through 22 games this season, Dubon is slashing .267/.286/.333 with one home run and two steals.

Garcia went 3-for-4 with a walk and a run scored in Tuesday's 8-5 win over Atlanta.

The rookie paced a 17-hit barrage by the Nats, and he drew his first big-league walk for good measure. Garcia's MLB career is off to a flying start, as he's gone 6-for-17 through four games since being added to the roster. The 20-year-old has a chance to lock down the starting spot at second base with Starlin Castro (wrist) likely out for the rest of the regular season.

Rosario went 2-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in Tuesday's 8-3 win over the Marlins.

The shortstop has had a tough start to 2020 at the plate, but he seems to be coming around. Rosario has collected four hits in the last two games, including his second homer of the year, but he's still slashing just .224/.224/.355 and is looking for both his first walk and stolen base.

Hoerner isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cardinals.

Hoerner didn't start the second game of Monday's twin bill, and he'll remain on the bench Tuesday. Jason Kipnis will start at second base in his absence.

Marte will hit the bench for the first time this season Tuesday against Oakland, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

Marte has made excellent contact in recent games, hitting .387 over his last seven contests. Eduardo Escobar will slide to second base Tuesday, with Jake Lamb starting at third.

Dubon is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Angels, Amy Gutierrez of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Dubon's ability to play both middle infield spots as well as center field has kept him in the lineup on a regular basis even without a dedicated position. He's started a total of 17 games in the Giants' first 25 contests, but no more than seven at any one position. Donovan Solano and Brandon Crawford will be the middle infielders Tuesday, with Steven Duggar starting in center.

Garcia went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Monday's 7-6 loss to Atlanta.

When he took Touki Toussaint deep in the second inning, Garcia became the first player born in the 2000s to homer in a big-league game. He's now 3-for-13 to begin his MLB career with four RBI and four strikeouts, and Garcia will likely continue to see the bulk of the action at second base until Starlin Castro -- who, coincidentally, was the first player born in the 1990s to homer in the majors -- recovers from his wrist fracture.
