  • Jake Alu LF | WAS

    Nationals' Jake Alu: Sitting Game 2

    Alu isn't in the Nationals' lineup for Tuesday's nightcap against Philadelphia, Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com reports.

    Alu went 1-for-4 and struck out twice during Game 1, and he'll take a seat to begin the second game. Michael Chavis will take Alu's place at second base and bat eighth.

  • Rockies' Brendan Rodgers: Out with hamstring discomfort

    Rodgers is out of the lineup Tuesday versus the Brewers due to right hamstring discomfort, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

    Rodgers tweaked his hamstring on a play in the field Monday in Milwaukee and could be held out of action until Thursday's series opener at Dodger Stadium. The good news is that the oft-injured 26-year-old infielder should not require yet another IL stint.

  • Ketel Marte 2B | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Returns to lineup

    Marte (quad) is starting at second base Tuesday against the Dodgers.

    Left quadricep tightness forced Marte to make an early exit from Sunday's game against the Twins, but his injury will not end up costing him a start. However, Marte has been in a slump recently, going 0-for-16 at the plate across his last five games.

  • Blue Jays' Davis Schneider: Not in lineup Tuesday

    Schneider is out of the lineup Tuesday against the Guardians.

    Schneider has gone 9-for-17 (.529) with two home runs, five RBI and three runs scored through his first four major-league games, but he'll take a seat Tuesday for the first time since his Aug. 4 promotion from Triple-A Buffalo. Cavan Biggio is playing second base and Whit Merrifield will cover left field.

  • Josh Rojas 3B | CHW

    Mariners' Josh Rojas: On bench Tuesday

    Rojas is absent from the lineup Tuesday against the Padres.

    Dylan Moore will start at second base and bat ninth versus the Padres and right-hander Nick Martinez. Rojas has gone 0-for-9 with three strikeouts and zero walks since joining the Mariners in a July 31 trade from the Diamondbacks.

  • Luis Urias 2B | ATH

    Red Sox's Luis Urias: Takes seat Tuesday

    Urias is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Royals.

    Urias had made four straight starts at second base since officially joining the Red Sox on Friday, but Pablo Reyes will take a turn there Tuesday versus the Royals and right-hander Brady Singer. Urias is 4-for-14 (.286) so far with Boston.

  • Adam Frazier 2B | LAA

    Orioles' Adam Frazier: Sits with jammed thumb

    Frazier is out of the lineup Tuesday versus the Astros due to a jammed thumb, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

    Frazier jammed the thumb last week in Toronto and has been trying to play through it. He's getting treatment Tuesday and is expected to be ready to return to action Wednesday.

  • Dodgers' Enrique Hernandez: Hitting well since return to LA

    Hernandez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional run and a walk Monday in a 13-7 victory over San Diego.

    Hernandez went deep in the sixth inning, swatting a solo shot to left-center field. It was his first long ball since rejoining the Dodgers as a result of a July 25 trade with the Red Sox. Hernandez has played regularly since returning to the National League and hit well, slashing .324/.350/.541 with five doubles, Monday's homer, seven RBI, five runs and a 2:3 BB:K over 40 plate appearances.

  • Rockies' Brendan Rodgers: Scratched from lineup Tuesday

    Rodgers was scratched from the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Brewers, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

    The reason for his removal from the lineup was not immediately available. Rodgers just made his season debut last week after suffering a shoulder injury in spring training. Alan Trejo will start at second base in Rodgers' absence.

  • Edouard Julien 2B | COL

    Twins' Edouard Julien: On bench again versus lefty

    Julien is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest in Detroit.

    The Tigers are starting a lefty for the second day in a row, so Julien will again begin this one on the bench. Jorge Polanco will occupy second base, with Kyle Farmer covering third.
