Semien went 2-for-5 with three runs in Monday's 8-3 win over the Tigers.

Semien did an impressive job setting the table from the top of the order, generating his fifth multi-hit effort of September in the process. Despite a subpar .299 OBP for the month, Semien has already crossed the plate on 12 occasions in 16 games.

Rosario was scratched from Monday's lineup against the Marlins due to an upset stomach, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

Rosario should be considered day-to-day after coming down with a stomach bug prior to Monday's series opener in Miami. With Rosario out of the lineup, Jose Reyes slides over to shortstop while Gavin Cecchini enters at second base.

Hernandez (personal) has rejoined the Dodgers, and he's starting at shortstop and batting eighth Monday against the Phillies, Eric Stephen of True Blue LA reports.

Hernandez is back with the Dodgers after missing their weekend series against the Nationals while attending to a family matter. While the utility man is starting at shortstop in his return to the lineup, he's expected to start in left field against left-handed pitchers down the stretch.

Forsythe is not in the lineup Monday against the Phillies, Eric Stephen of True Blue LA reports.

Forsythe will head to the bench as Chase Utley draws the start at second base in his return to Citizens Bank Park. The 30-year-old is hitting just .205/.311/.359 in 39 at-bats in September.

Frazier is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Brewers.

Frazier will head to the bench for a second straight contest as Sean Rodriguez draws another start at the keystone in his place. Frazier has played a slightly reduced role since returning from the disabled list earlier in the week, something that will likely continue over the final few weeks, given the expanded roster.

Marte went 0-for-2 with two walks and a stolen base in Sunday's 7-2 win over the Giants.

Marte's production has lagged over the last few games, but he's still sporting a solid .283/.377/.370 line in September while walking more times (seven) than he's struck out (six). Chris Owings (finger) is on track to return from the 60-day disabled list when first eligible Sept. 29, but Owings' long layoff coupled with Marte's success as a replacement in the middle infield should be enough to lock the 23-year-old Dominican into a starting role heading into the postseason.

Forsythe started and went 1-for-3 with a double and an RBI in Sunday's 7-1 loss to the Nationals.

Forsythe rode the pine over the Dodgers' last two games, giving way to Chase Utley's hotter bat. Sunday's start against a right-hander was noteworthy because it put off what appeared to be a developing platoon situation at the keystone -- at least for now. Forsythe's recent reduction in playing time was a direct result of his underwhelming .228/.359/.325 slash line through 107 games this season. The 30-year-old will have to begin producing at the plate, lest he be phased out of the Dodgers' starting lineup as they prepare for a postseason run.

Solarte went 2-for-5 with a double and his 17th home run of the season in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Rockies.

Solarte returned to the lineup with a bang after receiving a day off Saturday. He has been logging starts at third base this past week while the Padres shuffle their lineup to replace the injured Jose Pirela (finger). The utility infielder may be eligible at several positions, but his .252/.317/.418 slash line and modest power play best at either second base or shortstop.

Altuve is not in the lineup Sunday against the Mariners.

Altuve will receive a rare day off Sunday as the Astros opt to start Marwin Gonzalez at second base. Houston has Monday off, so look for Altuve to return to action Tuesday against the White Sox.

Drury went 2-for-4 with a double in Saturday's 2-0 win over the Giants.

The double was Drury's team-leading 35th of the season. Drury remains in a timeshare at second base with Daniel Descalso but offers more fantasy upside of the two thanks to his superior power.
