Frazier went 3-for-5 in Sunday's 6-5 win over the Mets.

The contact-hitting second baseman supplied three singles from the top of the order, although he wasn't directly involved in any scoring plays. Frazier finished the first half with a .330/.397/.463 slash line, four home runs, 29 RBI, 53 runs scored and five stolen bases. He'll start for the National League at second base in the All-Star Game after winning the fan vote in the midst of his best major-league season.

Lowe went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 3-1 loss to Toronto.

The 27-year-old ended the first half of the season on a solid power surge -- he's now homered seven times in his last nine games. Lowe is up to 21 long balls, 48 RBI, 47 runs scored and four stolen bases, but his slash line sits at .208/.316/.465 through 335 plate appearances.

Espinal went 3-for-4 with an RBI single in Sunday's 3-1 win over Tampa Bay.

Sunday was the infielder's third three-hit effort in 50 games this year. Espinal has seen more of a utility role lately, but he's 8-for-16 with a home run, four RBI and three runs scored through seven games in July. Overall, the 26-year-old is slashing .321/.367/.420 through 120 plate appearances.

Rodgers (illness) remains out of the starting lineup Sunday against the Padres after being scratched Saturday, Daniel Guerrero of MLB.com reports.

Rodgers was a late removal from Saturday's lineup due to some stomach issues, and the infielder still appears to be feeling sick Sunday. He'll get an extra day off prior to the All-Star break as he looks to return to the lineup Friday against the Dodgers.

Kemp is not starting Sunday's series finale against the Rangers.

Hitless in five straight games and seven of the last eight, Kemp takes a seat with lefty Kolby Allard on the mound for Texas. He has hit just .220 in 50 at-bats against left-handed pitching in 2021. Jacob Wilson will play left field and bat eighth Sunday.

Lux went 1-for-4 with a triple, three RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 22-1 win over the Diamondbacks.

Lux was held out of the lineup Saturday, but thanks to the Dodgers racing out to an early 9-0 lead, multiple starters were pulled from the contest early. That allowed Lux to receive a relative normal load of at-bats in a bench role, and he was able to match his RBI total from his prior 18 games combined when he tripled with the bases loaded in the eighth inning. The 23-year-old infielder is now slashing .233/.316/.361 across 301 plate appearances on the season.

Rodgers was scratched from Saturday's starting lineup against the Padres due to illness, Danielle Allentuck of The Denver Gazette reports.

Trevor Story was also a late removal from the lineup due to soreness from a HBP on Friday. Garrett Hampson and Chris Owings will start at second base and shortstop, respectively. Rodgers can be considered questionable for Sunday's series finale.

Estrada went 4-for-5 with three RBI and a run scored Saturday against Washington.

Estrada continued to produce offensively for the Giants, putting together the first four-hit game of his major-league career while driving in a trio of runs. The 25-year-old owns a .360/.429/.520 slashing line in his 28 plate appearances this season, providing a boost to a San Francisco squad that currently has multiple infielders on the injured list.

Frazier is not in the starting lineup for Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Mets, Jake Crouse of MLB.com reports.

Frazier went 1-for-4 with a run scored in Game 1. He'll rest for at least the beginning portion of Game 2 as Rodolfo Castro mans the keystone.

Lux is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against Arizona, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

Lux sits against southpaw Caleb Smith, meaning he's now been on the bench against four of the last five lefties the Dodgers have faced. Chris Taylor starts at shortstop in his absence.
