Brito started at second base and went 1-for-3 in Monday's 4-1 loss to the Dodgers.

Brito filled in at second base for a third consecutive game as Matt McLain (shoulder) remained sidelined. The latest word on McLain, per MLB.com, is that he's improving and will not undergo imaging at this time. Brito has hit safely in all three starts, going 5-for-11 with one double, one home run and three RBI.

Norby went 2-for-5 with two doubles, two RBI and a run scored in Monday's 8-7 loss to the Padres.

Norby notched a pair of doubles, driving in multiple runs for the first time since Aug. 26. In 30 games since joining the Rockies, the 26-year-old is hitting .293/.381/.475 with three homers, 14 RBI, 16 runs and two stolen bases. Factoring in his poor showing with the Marlins earlier in the season, Norby's overall marks sit at .234/.335/.375 with seven homers, 30 RBI, 33 runs and eight stolen bases in 95 total contests.

Hoerner went 2-for-4 with an RBI and two runs scored in Monday's 7-3 win over Atlanta.

Hoerner has been good this month with a .296 batting average across 13 September contests, though he hasn't stolen a base since Aug. 28, which is generally how he derives much of his fantasy value. The 29-year-old infielder has also had to adjust to playing shortstop recently, as he's been filling in for Dansby Swanson (oblique) since the middle of August. Swanson is expected back from the injured list toward the end of the week, which should push Hoerner back to second base. He'll remain a contact-oriented hitter who can contribute runs and steals but little power.

Lee is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Blue Jays.

Lee has started 10 of 12 games this month but will take a seat for Monday's series opener. The rookie infielder has hit a rough patch at the plate in September, slashing .176/.341/.324 with three doubles, one triple, seven RBI, eight runs scored and a 9:15 BB:K across 44 plate appearances. Gleyber Torres is starting at second base, while Colt Keith mans the hot corner Monday.

Rojas (shoulder) will start at second base and bat sixth in Monday's contest versus the Reds.

Rojas aggravated an old right shoulder injury on a dive during Sunday's game against the Marlins. However, he is back in action a day later and will attempt to play through the issue.

McLain (shoulder) remains out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Dodgers.

McLain landed hard on his left shoulder on a diving attempt during Friday's game versus the Brewers, and he will now miss a third straight start. It's the same shoulder he had surgery on in the spring of 2024, and McLain noted over the weekend that he'll feel soreness in the shoulder occasionally on dives, per Mark Sheldon of MLB.com. He's considered day-to-day. Juan Brito will handle second base for the Reds on Monday.

Wetherholt (wrist) will hit off a pitching machine Monday before going through a full pregame workout Tuesday, Daniel Guerrero of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Wetherholt is feeling better as he works his way back from right wrist tendinitis, and his next steps will be determined based on how he comes out of Tuesday's workout. The rookie infielder previously set a goal of returning during the Cardinals' final homestand of the season, which concludes Sunday. Wetherholt still has a chance to reach that goal, but more will be known about his timeline following Tuesday's workout.

Bazzana went 2-for-4 with a walk, a home run, three RBI, a stolen base and an additional run scored in Sunday's 9-2 win over Minnesota.

Bazzana helped increase the Guardians' lead with a run-scoring single in the fourth inning followed by a two-run homer in the sixth. He's up to 12 homers with 19 steals in 112 games. Just as it looked like the rookie was starting to fade, Bazzana's bat has awoken in September. Over the last eight games, Bazzana has gone 12-for-26 (.462) with five walks, two doubles, three home runs, 12 RBI and eight runs scored.

Brito started at second base and went 1-for-4 with a double in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Brewers.

Brito covered second base for a second consecutive game as Matt McLain (shoulder) was unavailable after being scratched from Saturday's lineup. McLain's injury is not considered serious at this point, but it is to the left shoulder -- the same one he had surgery on previously. Brito is most likely to fill in at second base for as long as needed and he has made one start each at shortstop and third base since being called up earlier this month.

Amador went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Sunday against the Rockies.

Amador has started 10 of 11 games since being recalled from the minors, picking up at-bats primarily at second base but also as the designated hitter. He slugged his fourth home run of the season in the opening inning of Sunday's game for Colorado's only run of the contest. Since his promotion, Amador has gone 12-for-36 with three homers, six RBI and eight runs scored.
