Mendick will start at third base and bat seventh in Monday's game against the Cubs.

With Brett Baty optioned to Triple-A on Monday and Luis Guillorme still on the injured list, Mendick will find more playing time. The 29-year-old has been great against left-handed pitching, slashing .360/.385/.560 in 26 plate appearances. He will face Cubs' left hander Drew Smyly. Mark Vientos should start at third base against righties while getting nods at designated hitter against southpaws.

Ibanez is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Twins.

Nick Maton will get the starting nod at second base in the series opener versus Minnesota, but Ibanez manned the keystone for each of the previous three games and appears to be Detroit's preferred option at the position. Ibanez closed the weekend series with the Rays with a pair of two-hit games and is now batting .288 since the All-Star break.

Arraez is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Reds, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Arraez hit .356 over his last 20 games and is riding a seven-game hitting streak, but he also has not rested since the All-Star break, and manager Skip Schumaker decided it was time for a day off. Jon Berti will man the keystone in Arraez's place.

Alu is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Phillies, Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com reports.

The trade of Jeimer Candelario and the demotion of Luis Garcia to Triple-A Rochester last week have opened up two spots in the Washington infield, and Alu seems to have a hold on one of those everyday roles. He started in four of the previous five games, going 5-for-14 with a double, five RBI, two runs and two stolen bases. He'll cede his spot to Michael Chavis on Monday, but look for Alu to get the bulk of the starts at the keystone while he's wielding a hot bat.

Rosario is out of the lineup for Monday's afternoon game against the Padres.

Rosario went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 8-2 victory over San Diego and started each of Los Angeles' first six games in August, going 5-for-22 with two homers, eight RBI, three runs and one stolen base over that span. He's logged time at both second base and shortstop since coming over from Cleveland in a July 26 trade but will begin Monday on the bench against Padres righty Seth Lugo. The Dodgers are starting Mookie Betts at second and Miguel Rojas at shortstop in the finale of the four-game series.

Julien is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Tigers, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

The lefty-hitting Julien will hit the bench for the series opener while the Tigers bring southpaw Joey Wentz to the hill. Kyle Farmer will fill in for Julien at the keystone.

Andrus went 3-for-5 with two doubles, two RBI and a run scored in Sunday's win over the Guardians.

After doubling twice earlier in the game, Andrus put the White Sox on top 5-3 in the ninth inning with a two-run single off Emmanuel Clase. It's the second straight three-hit game for Andrus, who filled in for Tim Anderson at shortstop Sunday. The 34-year-old Andrus is now 7-for-12 (.583) over his last three games, with four doubles and a home run in that span. Overall, he's slashing .223/.294/.318 with three homers, 25 RBI, 24 runs scored and eight steals across 270 plate appearances this season. Andrus could be in line for more playing time in the short term given that Anderson is facing a likely suspension.

Torres went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, a double, two RBI and two additional runs scored in Sunday's 9-7 loss to the Astros.

Torres has hits in six straight games, including four multi-hit efforts, going 12-for-22 (.545 average) with two long balls and five extra-base hits in that span. The 26-year-old second-baseman opened the scoring Sunday with an opposite-field homer off Jose Urquidy in the opening inning before driving in another run with a double in the sixth. Torres is now slashing .270/.335/.450 with 18 home runs, 64 runs scored, 48 RBI and nine stolen bases across 468 plate appearances this season.

Alu went 2-for-4 with a walk, two RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's win over the Reds.

The 26-year-old has started four of five games since his latest promotion -- two at third base and two at second -- and gone 5-for-14 with a double, two runs, five RBI and two steals. The starting jobs at both infield spots are up for grabs on the rebuilding Nats, so if Alu keeps producing, it could only be a matter of the coaching staff deciding where it likes him better defensively before he settles into an everyday role. He would seem to have little left to prove in the minors -- through 133 games at Triple-A Rochester the last two years, he's slashed .308/.365/.481 with 16 homers and 22 steals.

Julien went 1-for-1 with three walks, a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's win over the Diamondbacks.

Julien batted out of the leadoff spot for a second straight game and looked very comfortable. In those two games, he went 4-for-6 with three walks and just one strikeout. Julien has been a welcome addition to the Twins' lineup after he was up and down with the big club earlier in the season. Since being called back up June 10, the 24-year-old is slashing .330/.433/.540 with six homers, 10 RBI, 26 runs and a 22:46 BB:K over 161 plate appearances.
