Altuve went 2-for-4 with a double, a stolen base and a run scored in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Padres.

Altuve was the only Astro with multiple hits in the contest, and it's the sixth time in nine games he's recorded multiple knocks. The speedy second baseman is up to 22 steals on 29 attempts this year, his most thefts in a season since 2017. He's added a steady .302/.357/.447 slash line with 19 home runs, 63 RBI and 89 runs scored over 145 contests out of the leadoff role.

Marte went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer and three strikeouts in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Rockies.

Marte got the scoring started Monday when he took Antonio Senzatela deep in the first inning. The 32 home runs have tied Marte's career high he set during the 2019 season. The 30-year-old seems to be finding his power stroke again since returning from an ankle injury, as he now has two homers and six RBI over his last five games. Overall, Marte is slashing .292/.366/.553 with 87 RBI in 124 games this season.

Keith went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Monday's 7-6 win over the Royals.

Keith made his lone hit count, ripping a two-out home run in the fifth inning that brought the Tigers within a run as they mounted a comeback. Detroit is pushing Minnesota for the final playoff spot, and the rookie Keith has been a key reason why. Over his last 12 contests, the 23-year-old is batting .313 with five runs scored and six RBI.

Hoerner went 2-for-3 with a walk and two runs scored in Monday's 9-2 win over the Athletics.

Hoerner chipped in two of Chicago's 18 hits and recorded the team's only walk in the easy win. The infielder is batting .327 this month, which has pushed his season average up to .264. Hoerner is mostly a contact hitter, but he's at his best once he's on the basepaths, as he leads the Cubs with 29 stolen bases in 34 attempts.

Gonzales is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cardinals.

Gonzales will head to the bench as the Pirates make room in the lineup at second base for prospect Nick Yorke, who was called up from Triple-A Indianapolis. Though the Pirates will likely give Yorke a look in a near-everyday role over the final two weeks of the season, he has experience at shortstop, third base and all three outfield spots, so he won't necessarily bump Gonzales out of the everyday lineup. Gonzales had started in all but two of the Pirates' previous 19 games following his return from the injured list Aug. 26, slashing .300/.347/.343 during that stretch.

The Pirates selected Yorke's contract from Triple-A Indianapolis ahead of Monday's game against the Cardinals. He'll start at second base and bat seventh in the series opener.

Pittsburgh optioned infielder Alika Williams to Triple-A to clear a spot on the active roster for Yorke, who could be in store for a near-everyday role while getting his first taste of the big leagues over the final two weeks of the season. After being acquired from the Red Sox at the trade deadline, Yorke slashed .359/.438/.516 with two home runs and eight stolen bases in 176 plate appearances at Indianapolis to earn his way to the majors. Yorke has spent most of his minor-league career at second base, but he also picked up starts at shortstop and third base along with all three outfield spots this season and could end up filling a super-utility role for the Pirates.

Drury (hamstring) remains out of the lineup for Monday's contest versus the White Sox, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

It's the fourth straight start he's missed due to lingering left hamstring tightness. Charles Leblanc will play second base for the Angels while Drury continues to rest up.

Rodgers (hamstring) is starting at second base and batting fifth for Monday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Rodgers was not in the starting lineup for the Rockies' last two games due to right hamstring tightness, but he did pinch hit for Aaron Schunk in the seventh inning of Sunday's 6-2 loss to the Cubs. Rodgers has slashed .283/.325/.455 with seven home runs and 22 RBI over 200 plate appearances since the All-Star break.

The Pirates optioned Williams from Triple-A Indianapolis on Monday.

He'll move off the 28-man active roster as the Pirates clear a spot for infielder Nick Yorke, whose contract was selected from Triple-A. Williams is a career .202/.257/.271 hitter over parts of two seasons at the major-league level and hadn't seen any game action for the Pirates in a week.

Atlanta manager Brian Snitker confirmed Monday that Albies (wrist) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

The plan is for Albies to play for Gwinnett on Tuesday and Wednesday before rejoining Atlanta's active roster Friday in Miami, assuming all goes well. Albies has been sidelined since late July with a fractured left wrist.
