Peguero is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cardinals.

Peguero went 1-for-3 with two walks and two RBI in Monday's series-opening rout of St. Louis, but he'll grab some pine Tuesday as Alika Williams covers shortstop and Ji Hwan Bae handles second base.

Lowe is not in the starting lineup Tuesday versus the Rockies.

Lowe will be on the bench with left-hander Ty Blach getting the start for the Rockies. Isaac Paredes will shift over to second base with Curtis Mead entering the lineup at third base and batting seventh.

Alu is absent from the lineup Tuesday versus the Yankees.

Ildemaro Vargas is covering second base and Carter Kieboom is at third as the Nationals go with a right-heavy attack against left-hander Carlos Rodon. Alu has batted just .233/.266/.300 through his first 64 major-league plate appearances.

Diaz went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a win over the Royals on Monday.

Diaz's ninth round-tripper of the campaign came in the second inning and erased Oakland's early 1-0 deficit. The 23-year-old's blast snapped a 13-game homerless streak, as well as a 1-for-21 slump that had encompassed his previous seven games.

Rojas went 3-for-5 with an RBI single, a double and two runs in a win over the White Sox on Monday.

Rojas once again was undeterred by his spot at the bottom of the order, authoring one of a pair of three-hit efforts for the Mariners. It was the fourth multi-hit tally for Rojas over the last nine games, a span during which he's generated a .367 average and .940 OPS after opening his Seattle tenure in an 0-for-13 funk following his arrival from the Diamondbacks.

Marte went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional run and a walk Monday in a 4-3 extra-innings win against the Rangers.

With Arizona trailing 1-0 in the bottom of the ninth inning, Marte tagged Aroldis Chapman for a solo shot to left field to tie the score. The long ball was his 20th of the campaign, just the second season in his career that he has reached that mark. The other time was in 2019, when Marte went deep 32 times and drove in 92 runs. He'll be hard-pressed to reach those totals this year, but with 20 homers and 63 RBI, he's already posted his best numbers in those categories since that 2019 season.

Kim went 2-for-4 with a grand slam, a double, two total runs and a stolen base in a 6-2 win over the Marlins on Monday.

Kim scored the Padres' first run in the first inning, leading off the frame with a double, stealing third base and racing home on a sacrifice fly. He made an even greater contribution in the second, belting a grand slam to left-center field after Miami starter Ryan Weathers loaded the bases on three straight walks. Kim could be found on fantasy waiver wires early in the campaign, but he's broken out and become a must-roster player, posting a .280/.370/.449 slash line along with 17 homers, 49 RBI, 71 runs and 28 thefts over 121 contests.

Arraez was pulled from Monday's game against San Diego due to a stomach cramp, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Arraez will be considered day-to-day until further notice, but given the nature of the issue, he's unlikely to miss additional time.

Arraez left Monday's game against the Padres due to an undisclosed injury, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.

The severity of Arraez's injury is unclear at this time. He was replaced by Jon Berti at second base during the fourth inning.

Manager Brian Snitker does not believe Albies (hamstring) "will play in a rehab game before being activated," Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Albies has not encountered any issues since landing on the injured list a little less than a week ago, and as a result he may not need a tune-up before rejoining the big club. He is eligible to be activated by Atlanta this upcoming Friday, Aug. 25.
