Albies is not in the lineup for Game 2 of Monday's doubleheader with the Phillies.

Albies does not sit much, but with him just a couple weeks removed from a stint on the injured list, he will get a breather Monday night. Nicky Lopez will cover the keystone in place of Albies.

Turang is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Marlins.

The lefty-hitting Turang will take a seat against Marlins southpaw Jesus Luzardo, marking the rookie's first day off since Aug. 16. Andruw Monasterio will get the nod at second base while Turang's streak of 21 consecutive starts comes to an end.

The Brewers optioned Miller to Triple-A Nashville on Monday.

Miller was moved off the 28-man active roster to clear room for third baseman/designated hitter Josh Donaldson, who was called up from Nashville after joining the Brewers on a minor-league deal less than two weeks earlier. The Brewers brought Miller back from Triple-A as one of their September call-ups, but he logged just four plate appearances in total during his latest stint with the big club.

Alu is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Pirates, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

Alu will hit the bench after he had started each of the Nationals' last 14 games at second base or in left field, slashing .216/.273/.216 over that stretch. Given his lack of productivity, Alu could fade into more a utility role moving forward with September call-ups Luis Garcia and Travis Blankenhorn having seemingly emerged as the Nationals' preferred option at second base and in left field, respectively.

Merrifield is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Rangers.

Merrifield recorded a hit Sunday, but he also went just 1-for-19 (.053) over his last five games, so he will be held out for the second time in three days. Davis Schneider will man the keystone for the Blue Jays on Tuesday night.

Marte (knee) will start at second base and bat leadoff in Monday's game against the Mets.

He'll return to the lineup after a one-game absence due to a sore right knee. Marte has produced hits in all but one of his eight starts thus far in September, slashing .333/.394/.600 with five extra-base hits, five RBI and five runs.

Westburg (undisclosed) remains out of the lineup for Monday's contest versus the Cardinals, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Westburg had to be lifted from Saturday's win over the Red Sox because of unspecified soreness and will now be on the bench for the second game in a row. Ramon Urias will draw the start at third base in place of Westburg, who is considered day-to-day.

Schneider went 0-for-2 with two walks and a run scored Sunday in the Blue Jays' 5-2 win over the Royals.

The 24-year-old rookie has only moderately cooled down from his red-hot start to his big-league career with the calendar flipping in September. While starting at second base, third base or designated hitter in eight of the Blue Jays' first nine games of the month, Schneider is slashing .269/.486/.654 with six extra-base hits (one home run, one triple, five doubles), seven runs, five RBI and 10:12 BB:K. He should have a clear path to a near-everyday role while Matt Chapman (finger) is on the injured list, and even once Chapman returns, Schneider may have played well enough to keep getting regular playing time in a super-utility role.

Haggerty went 2-for-3 with an RBI single, a double and a run in a loss to the Rays on Sunday.

Haggerty was one of the Mariners' most productive hitters on the afternoon despite operating out of the bottom of the order. The 29-year-old utility man was mostly abysmal at the plate with intermittent playing time over the first four-plus months, but Haggerty has hit his stride of late by posting a .368 average and 1.033 OPS across his last nine games.

Altuve went 1-for-4 with a home run, three RBI and two runs scored Sunday against the Padres.

Altuve made headlines with five home runs combined between Sept. 4 and 5, and he continued his power production Sunday by belting his sixteenth long ball of the season. He has hit extremely well overall since returning from an oblique injury July 26, maintaining a .348 batting average with 10 homers, 24 RBI, 41 runs scored and eight stolen bases across 40 games. Altuve has run into some bad injury luck on the campaign, but he's been an exceptional producer across the board when on the field.
