Rojas will sit Sunday against Seattle.

Rojas has just three hits over his last six games. Andrew Young will get the start at second base in the series finale.

Semien went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 11-2 win in Game 2 of the doubleheader against the Orioles.

Semien slammed a three-run homer in the seventh inning off Tanner Scott as a part of an 11-run inning. The 30-year-old is on fire, tallying seven homers in 11 games so far in September. On the season, he is slashing .272/.342/.550 with 39 long balls, 94 RBI, 101 runs and 15 steals in 634 plate appearances.

Frazier went 0-for-3 with a stolen base and a run in Saturday's loss to the Dodgers.

The second baseman was unable to collect any hits in the contest, but he converted an eighth-inning hit-by-pitch into a stolen base and a run. Frazier has shown signs of life at the plate lately, batting .353 over his past six contests, but his overall .240 average since joining San Diego is quite disappointing.

Diaz will be on the bench for Sunday's game in Atlanta, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Diaz had started six straight games at third base, but he's now been on the bench for two in a row. His .192/.288/.284 slash line in 265 plate appearances this season doesn't make a strong case for regular at-bats. Eddy Alvarez will make his second straight start at the hot corner Sunday.

Gimenez is on the bench for Sunday's game against the Brewers.

Gimenez gets the afternoon off after going 7-for-32 with three doubles and two RBI in his last 10 games. Owen Miller is playing second base and batting seventh Sunday.

Polanco is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.

After a 3-for-5, two-homer performance Saturday, Polanco is now hitting .326 with six doubles, five home runs and eight RBI in his last 10 games. Luis Arraez is starting at second base and batting third Sunday.

Lowe is on the bench for Sunday's game against the Tigers, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

As is often the case, Lowe takes a seat with a left-hander on the mound. He's hit .273 with a double, two home runs and six RBI in his last 10 games. Joey Wendle starts at second base Sunday and Yandy Diaz plays third.

Lux went 2-for-2 with a double, two runs and an RBI in Saturday's 5-4 victory over the Padres.

Starting in left field for the second consecutive game, Lux doubled home a run and scored in the third inning, and he singled and scored in the fifth. The 23-year-old's two hits were half the Dodgers' total and his first hits since July 16, though that span only encompasses six big-league games. There's a slight chance Lux could earn outfield eligibility with just a handful of games left in the season and the two recent appearances thus far.

Andrus, who went 1-for-3 with a double in a loss to the Rangers on Saturday, now has a five-game hitting streak during which he's hitting .429 (6-for-14).

The hot-hitting shortstop is in the midst of a timely upswing at the plate as the Athletics make their final playoff push. Andrus' average is back up to .233 following Saturday's production, a pedestrian figure that's nevertheless his best in that category in exactly one month.

India went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run Saturday in a loss to St. Louis.

The rookie was the only Cincinnati player to collect multiple hits in the contest, and his third-inning two-run homer staked the Reds to an early lead. India's long ball was his 20th of the campaign and fourth in his past 15 games. He has inserted his name firmly into the NL Rookie of the Year picture with a .273/.380/.470 slash line, 85 runs, 64 RBI and nine stolen bases.
