Altuve is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Angels, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Altuve sits after starting 14 straight games. He recorded at least one hit in all but one of those games, posting a .357/.446/.643 slash line while homering three times. Marwin Gonzalez will fill in as the second baseman.

Hernandez is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Yankees.

While his nine steals in 33 games have certainly helped fantasy teams, he only plays against right-handed pitchers, and the Rangers face a handful of southpaws this week, beginning with Nestor Cortes in this one. Charlie Culberson will be the third baseman Monday.

Gonzalez is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Tigers.

Gonzalez will take a seat after he went 5-for-16 with two doubles, a walk, three runs and an RBI while starting in each of the White Sox's last four games. The 25-year-old doesn't have a clear path to an everyday role at the moment, but his ability to play multiple infield and outfield spots should allow him to see at least semi-regular work while he wields a hot bat.

Lowe is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Blue Jays, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

The lefty-hitting Lowe will take a seat as Toronto brings one of MLB's top southpaws (Robbie Ray) to the hill for the series opener. Joey Wendle will slide over from third base to replace Lowe at the keystone.

Miller will start at second base and bat sixth in the first game of Monday's doubleheader with the Royals.

Miller will pick up his third start in four games after he went 2-for-7 with a walk, a run and an RBI in Cleveland's series victory over the Yankees this past weekend. Both Miller and Yu Chang -- who will sit out the front end of the twin bill -- should benefit from increased opportunities in the infield while Amed Rosario (personal) is on the bereavement list.

Lowe went 0-for-3 with a stolen base in Sunday's 2-0 loss to the Tigers.

Lowe's only time reaching base was on a fielder's choice in the third after the Rays mustered up just five hits on the day. He would end up stealing second for his seventh stolen base of the year. The 26-year-old is now slashing .235/.333/.494 with 34 home runs, 85 RBI, 88 runs scored and 65:159 BB:K over 571 plate appearances.

McNeil went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and an additional run in a 3-2 win against the Phillies on Sunday.

McNeil singled and scored in the fifth inning before launching a solo shot in the seventh off Kyle Gibson to give New York a 3-2 lead that ended up being the final. The long ball was McNeil's first since Aug. 1 and only his fourth extra-base hit in September, and he's slashing .262/.303/.377 in 18 games this month.

Lux went 3-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Sunday's 8-5 win over the Reds.

Lux took Wade Miley deep for a two-run shot in the second inning and added an RBI single in the third. Since being promoted from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sep. 10, the 23-year-old has gone 11-for-24 (.458) with three extra-base hits and eight RBI. Lux has seven homers and 45 RBI through 350 plate appearances this season.

Hernandez went 2-for-3 with a double, two RBI, two runs scored and a walk in Sunday's 8-6 win against Baltimore.

Hernandez drew a walk and scored in the first inning before doubling in a run in the second. He later drove in the game-tying run and scored the go-ahead run in the seventh. It was Hernandez's second straight multi-hit game, improving his season slash line to .251/.335/.447 with 78 runs scored and 54 extra-base hits. Sunday was his third multi-hit game since returning from the injured list Sept. 7.

Mayfield will start at third base and bat eighth Sunday against the Athletics.

Mayfield will fill a bottom-three spot in the lineup for the third straight contest, even though he's in the midst of a relative heater at the dish. He's recorded a double in each of his last three starts, driving in four runs and scoring twice over that stretch. Mayfield looks set to fill an everyday role at third base for the remainder of the season.
