Marte went 2-for-5 with a double, a home run and four RBI in Monday's 14-7 win over the Padres.

Marte launched homer number 29 on Monday to go along with his 30th double. Throw in his eight triples and the infielder/outfielder leads the Diamondbacks in slugging (.577). Since returning from a hamstring over the weekend, Marte's been relegated to second base only.

Rojas went 4-for-5 with a double, a solo home run, two RBI and three runs scored in Monday's 14-7 win over the Padres.

Rojas had hit a skid, going hitless over five games, but has responded with a five-game hitting streak. He's 8-for-19 with two doubles, two homers and five RBI during the streak.

McNeil went 1-for-4 with a walk and a two-run home run in Monday's 7-3 win over the Nationals.

The 27-year-old has been having a bit of poor BABIP luck since recovering from a hamstring strain in late August, going 5-for-27 (.185) over his last seven games, but he's still putting a jolt into the ball -- including Monday's performance, four of his last six hits have gone for extra bases (two doubles, two homers). On the year, McNeil's slashing .322/.389/.523 with 17 home runs and 59 RBI, and he remains in the race for the NL batting title.

Marte started at second base and went 1-for-5 with a run scored in Sunday's 4-3 extra-innings loss to the Dodgers.

Marte was back in action after missing two games with a right hamstring injury. It's the same injury that popped up at the beginning of last week. That he was able to score from second base on an infield hit is a good sign the hamstring has healed.

Lux was officially promoted to the Dodgers on Sunday.

Lux is MLB.com's ninth-ranked overall prospect and will be called up to the big leagues ahead of a six-game homestand for the Dodgers. Lux has made 18 starts at second base this season while playing with Triple-A Oklahoma City, and that is exactly where he will find himself Monday as he will pick up his first start against the Rockies at home.

Haggerty had his contract selected from Triple-A Syracuse by the Mets on Sunday.

Haggerty was acquired by the Mets from the Indians in January and spent the bulk of the year at Double-A Binghamton before being promoted to Triple-A Syracuse in mid-August. The 25-year-old had a .271/.376/.387 slash line with 23 stolen bases between the two levels and is primed to make his major-league debut.

The Dodgers intend to call up Lux from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Monday, Emily Waldon of The Athletic reports.

While Lux wasn't included among the Dodgers' initial wave of September callups Sunday, the organization's top prospect is believed to be en route to Los Angeles after he was withheld from the lineup at Oklahoma City. Though the Dodgers likely didn't come into the season expecting Lux to contribute for the big club at any point, the 21-year-old earned his spot in the majors after slashing .392/.478/.719 with 13 home runs in 49 games at Triple-A following his late-June promotion from Double-A Tulsa. Expect Lux to receive most of his initial action at second base while Max Muncy (wrist) is on the shelf.

Urias is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Urias started the last 18 games and will head to the bench after slashing .211/.297/.333 in that stretch. Greg Garcia will take over at shortstop while Ty France covers the keystone.

Dubon is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Dubon started the last three games, going 2-for-10 with a strikeout, and will return to the bench Sunday. Donovan Solano will start at second base and bat leadoff in the series finale.

Diaz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals, Andre Fernandez of The Athletic reports.

The rookie will hit the bench for a second straight day while he continues to labor at the plate since his Aug. 5 promotion to the big leagues. Through his first 97 plate appearances, Diaz is hitting just .157 while striking out 28.9 percent of the time. Starlin Castro will cover the keystone in place of Diaz in the series finale.
