Rosario (knee) will start at shortstop and bat second in Wednesday's game against the Red Sox.

Rosario missed a couple games with soreness in his left knee, but the limited time off looks like it was enough to resolve the issue. With Rosario back in action Wednesday, Gabriel Arias' three-game run as a starter in the infield will come to an end.

Rojas is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.

Rojas earned his day off after he went 2-for-4 with three RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's win, but he likely would have been on the bench regardless with the Nationals bringing southpaw Patrick Corbin to the hill. Emmanuel Rivera will start at third base and bat second while the lefty-hitting Rojas takes a seat.

Caballero is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Padres, Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM reports.

Caballero will sit to begin a second consecutive game, although he did come off the bench and draw a pair of walks in Tuesday's win over San Diego. Kolten Wong will hit ninth and handle second base in Caballero's absence.

Turang went 2-for-4 with a triple, a walk, a stolen base and an RBI in Tuesday's win over the Orioles.

Turang laced a triple to right in the fourth but was left stranded and later provided a clutch RBI single in the eighth to tie the game up at three. Tuesday's game was Turang's first with a hit since May 27, which also was coincidentally the last time he tallied an extra-base knock. The growing pains have been apparent for the 23-year-old rookie, as he had tallied just one hit over his last 41 at-bats before his triple. Turang now sits at a slash line of .205/.254/.307 with three homers, 14 RBI, 16 runs, nine steals and an 11:48 BB:K over 177 plate appearances.

Arraez went 2-for-4 with an RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 6-1 victory over the Royals.

Arraez is now batting an insane .706 (12-for-17) over his last four games. He's only struck out twice in 89 at-bats since May 12, lowering his K-rate to 4.7 percent. Overall, Arraez is slashing .401/.451/.495 with a homer, 30 RBI and 24 runs scored through 235 plate appearances this season.

Vargas went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Tuesday's loss to the Reds.

Vargas walked and stole his third base of the year in the sixth and later notched a base hit in the eighth. The 23-year-old has recorded a hit in each of his first four games in June and also has a 3:3 BB:K over that span. Vargas has endured growing pains over the course of his first full MLB season but will continue to see the lion's share of starts at second base. He's slashing .228/.333/.413 with five homers, 26 RBI, 28 runs and a 28:43 BB:K over 216 plate appearances.

Albies went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Mets.

He got Atlanta on the board with a second-inning shot off Carlos Carrasco. Albies has gone yard in back-to-back games and three times in the last five contests, and with 13 homers in 60 games on the year, the second baseman is on pace to break the career-high mark of 30 home runs he slugged in 2021.

Dubon went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 5-1 loss to the Blue Jays.

Getting the start at second base, Dubon led off the game by taking Kevin Gausman deep, but it was the only flicker of offense Houston could manage all night. With Jose Altuve (oblique) on the IL again, Dubon is back in an everyday role and has rapped out six hits while making four straight starts at the keystone, While his .294 batting average remains a plus, the 28-year-old doesn't offer much else from a fantasy perspective -- Tuesday's homer was just his second of the season and his first extra-base hit of any kind since May 22.

Rojas went 2-for-4 with three RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 10-5 win over the Nationals.

Rojas scored a run after a bunt single, knocked in a run on sacrifice fly and gave the Diamondbacks a cushion with a two-run single in the seventh inning. He'd gone through a rough patch, batting .114 over 12 games, but he's now hit safely in three straight (5-for-11). Arizona manager Torey Lovullo noted a change in Rojas' aggressiveness at the plate that began Sunday, per Theo Mackie of the Arizona Republic. "He's just a great, heady player," Lovullo said. "Part of his game is to just be a thorn in the side of the opposition and that charges him up. He ended up doing it again today." Over the last two games, Rojas has bunt singles in each while reaching base five times over eight plate appearances.

Estrada went 3-for-5 with two doubles, a walk and one RBI in Tuesday's 10-4 win over the Rockies.

Estrada spent the minimum 10 days on the injured list with a wrist issue, and he was one of many effective hitters for the Giants on Tuesday. He hit safely in nine of his 10 games prior to his IL stint, so it's a positive to see him pick up where he left off with his sixth game of three or more hits this year. For the season, the second baseman is slashing .308/.354/.480 with six home runs, 13 stolen bases, 18 RBI, 30 runs scored and 14 doubles through 48 contests. He should be able to reclaim an everyday role.
