Lux was promoted from Double-A Tulsa to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Lux will get his first taste of Triple-A after slashing an impressive .313/.375/.521 with 13 home runs and seven stolen bases in 64 games for Tulsa. The well-regarded prospect is one step closer to the majors following Wednesday's promotion, though seeing as he's still not on the 40-man roster, he could spend the remainder of the season at Oklahoma City unless he really forces the Dodgers' hand.

Marte is not in Wednesday's lineup against the Dodgers.

The Diamondbacks will ease Marte back into action after he missed time with a groin injury over the weekend, sending the second baseman to the bench for Wednesday's afternoon contest following a Tuesday night game during which he went 2-for-4 with a run scored. In his place, Ildemaro Vargas is starting at the keystone and hitting sixth.

Rosario went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a second run scored and a stolen base in Tuesday's loss to the Phillies.

The 23-year-old remains locked in at the plate, slashing .433/.438/.633 over the last nine games with a homer, four steals, four RBI and six runs. Rosario continues to hit near the bottom of the Mets' order, limiting his fantasy potential, but if he continues cranking out hits he could work his way into a more productive lineup spot.

McNeil went 4-for-5 with one run, one RBI and one double in Tuesday's 7-5 loss at Philadelphia.

McNeil went 1-for-5 in the series opener but delivered yet another multi-hit performance Tuesday. The 27-year-old has shown no signs of slowing down and is slashing .348/.410/.498 with five homers and 20 doubles in 66 games.

Albies went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk Tuesday against the Cubs.

Albies took southpaw Mike Montgomery deep in the seventh inning for what proved to be the game-winning runs. He continues to crush left-handed pitching, as he's slugging over .600 against lefties for the season. Albies now has 12 total home runs on the campaign and is hitting .285/.347/.468 across 349 plate appearances.

Rodgers was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a right shoulder impingement, retroactive to June 24.

According to Kyle Newman of The Denver Post, the highly-touted rookie said he first felt the shoulder discomfort after a throw to first base in Colorado's game against the Dodgers on Saturday, and it's been impacting his ability to get the proper backspin on his throws, so he'll head to the 10-day IL to recover. Ryan McMahon will continue on at second base, while Trevor Story (thumb) could be back this weekend.

Diaz (knee) returned to the lineup for Triple-A New Orleans on Monday, going 0-for-3 with two walks and a run scored.

He has been battling some knee soreness, but there were no structural issues found and Diaz avoided the injured list, as expected. Through 72 games with New Orleans this season, Diaz is batting .288/.377/.542 with 16 home runs and a 22.1 percent strikeout rate, down from 29 percent at the Triple-A level in 2018. It's widely assumed that Diaz will take over at second base for Miami down the stretch, making him a viable stash in deeper fantasy leagues.

Marte returned to the lineup and went 2-for-4 with two runs scored in Monday's 8-5 win over the Dodgers.

Marte started at second base after missing two consecutive games with a hamstring injury and extended his hitting streak to seven games. All seven games during the streak have been multi-hit performances, as Marte has gone 19-for-29 with seven extra-base hits, four RBI and nine runs scored.

Hoerner (wrist) could begin playing in rehab games in Arizona this weekend, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

Hoerner is nearing a return to game action after spending the past two months on the shelf with a wrist injury. Prior to landing on the shelf near the end of April, the well-regarded youngster slashed .300/.391/.500 with one homer and one stolen base in 18 games with Double-A Tennessee.

Rodgers is not in Monday's lineup against the Giants, Kyle Newman of The Denver Post reports.

Rodgers has started three straight games at shortstop with Trevor Story (thumb) on the injured list, going 0-for-10 with five strikeouts during that stretch. Pat Valaika is starting at shortstop in this one.
