Rodgers (shoulder) announced via Instagram on Tuesday that he underwent surgery and is out for the season, Kyle Newman of The Denver Post reports.

Rodgers landed on the injured list in late June with a right shoulder impingement after dealing with some discomfort over the previous few days. The 22-year-old was pictured in a hospital bed with his right arm in a heavy brace/sling and finished the post by saying, "See you in 2020." According to Thomas Harding of MLB.com, Rodgers underwent surgery to address a torn labrum in his right shoulder.

Albies went 3-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Monday's win over the Brewers.

The 22-year-old has been raking in July, delivering six multi-hit performances in 10 games to fuel a .395/.425/.632 slash line. Albies' fantasy value may seem vaguely disappointing due to his lack of activity on the basepaths -- he's just 7-for-9 on steal attempts this year despite plus speed -- but his .293 batting average, 14 homers, 50 RBI and 58 runs on the year give him a strong foundation in most formats.

McNeil went 1-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Sunday's win over the Marlins.

After leading off the game with his eighth homer of the year, McNeil picked up an RBI on a fielder's choice in the sixth inning. The 27-year-old has played at least 15 games at four different positions for the Mets so far -- second base, third base and both outfield corners -- but wherever he's been stationed, he's collected hits by the bushel. McNeil has hit safely in all three games since the All-Star break and nine of his last 10 overall, pushing his MLB-leading batting average up to .349.

Rosario is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins in what amounts to a maintenance day, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports.

Rosario went 3-for-8 and was caught stealing once in the first two games out of the All-Star break. The 23-year-old has an .838 OPS in his last nine contests, but he'll head to the bench Sunday while Adeiny Hechavarria enters the lineup at shortstop in the series finale. Rosario's struggles on the defensive end this season fueled discussion of him eventually moving to center field, but manager Mickey Callaway said Sunday that a position change for Rosario wasn't imminent, per Matt Ehalt of Yahoo Sports.

Ablies went 2-for-5 with an RBI, a run scored and a stolen base in a 7-5 win over the Padres on Saturday.

Albies came up clutch, as the second baseman singled to score Josh Donaldson in the tenth inning. He then stole second base and scored what would stand as the winning run on a Tyler Flowers double. Albies is slashing .291/.350/.482 with seven steals, 57 runs scored and 50 RBI in 92 games this season.

Urias is dealing with a minor left shoulder injury but is expected to rejoin the lineup Sunday for Triple-A El Paso, Dennis Lin of The Athletic reports.

Urias exited Friday's contest in the middle of the at-bat after tweaking something in his left shoulder, but he'll apparently be good to go after one day off. The 22-year-old has a healthy .316/.400/.595 slash line with 18 home runs at Triple-A this season.

Dubon was optioned to Triple-A San Antonio on Saturday.

Dubon was in the big leagues for just two games, appearing off the bench in both contests. The Brewers will send him back to Triple-A in search of regular at-bats, with reliever Jay Jackson called up to take his place on the roster.

Frazier is not in the lineup Saturday against the Cubs.

Kevin Newman will slide over to play second base as Jung Ho Kang gets the start at shortstop against Chicago lefty Jon Lester. Frazier is slashing a phenomenal .529/.556/.824 with a home run, 11 runs scored and seven RBI in seven July starts. The left-handed-hitting second baseman owns a .659 career OPS against left-handed pitching.

Urias "felt something" on a swing in Friday's game for Triple-A El Paso and exited for precautionary reasons, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports. He is considered day-to-day.

Hitters rarely exit games mid at-bat, as Urias did in the fifth inning, due to minor injuries, so some skepticism is warranted regarding this report. However, it is still somewhat comforting that the Padres are downplaying the injury.

Marte went 1-for-2 with a two-run homer in Friday's 4-2 win over the Cardinals.

Marte's eighth-inning blast, which extended his hitting streak to six games, provided necessary cushion for the Diamondbacks, who won their fourth straight. The first-time All-Star's breakout season continued apace. Marte has a career-high 21 home runs and his 55 RBI are four shy of his best mark set last season.
