Arroyo is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Reds.

It's noteworthy that Arroyo is not starting against a lefty (Nick Lodolo), even with Trevor Story (heel) still missing in action. Enrique Hernandez is starting at the keystone while Rob Refsnyder gets the nod in center field.

Trejo went 2-for-5 with an RBI on Monday against the Giants.

Trejo singled in a run in the second inning and managed to record his first multi-hit game since Sept. 9. Despite the slow stretch, he's hit .308 with two home runs, seven RBI and five runs scored since taking over as Colorado's primary shortstop Sept. 4. Jose Iglesias (thumb) hasn't made much reported progress toward a return, so Trejo should continue to see regular playing time in the short term.

Estrada went 3-for-6 with a three-run home run and a double in Monday's 10-7 extra-inning win over Colorado.

Estrada propelled San Francisco to victory with his three-run shot in the 10th inning. The long ball was his 14th of the season and third in September. Estrada has become a viable fantasy asset for the first time this season, complementing his modest homer total with 19 stolen bases and a respectable .266/.326/.416 slash line over 495 plate appearances.

Altuve went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run in Monday's 4-0 defeat of the Rays.

Altuve took Drew Rasmussen deep to left field in the first inning for his 11th leadoff homer of the campaign. That ranks as the most leadoff home runs in the league this season and is two short of the MLB record for a single campaign. Altuve is up to 25 long balls this year, marking the third time in four seasons that he has reached that mark (with the exception being the severely shortened 2020 campaign).

Rosario went 2-for-4 with a home run, a walk, three RBI, three runs scored and two stolen bases in Monday's 11-4 win over Minnesota.

Rosario's name was all over Monday's box score, capped off by his three-run shot in the sixth inning. He also swiped second base in both the fourth and eighth frames. Over his last 12 games, Rosario has gone 19-for-56 (.339) with 15 RBI. He's improved his season slash line to .283/.314/.407 with 11 home runs, 16 stolen bases and 79 runs scored.

Gorman was optioned to Triple-A Memphis on Monday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Gorman has struggled at the dish in September, likely resulting in this demotion. Prior to Monday's move, he was slashing .138/.219/.310 with one home run, two RBI and three walks in September (10 games). Gorman was sent down in favor of Juan Yepez.

Rojas isn't in the lineup for Monday's contest against the Dodgers.

Rojas will retreat to the bench with southpaw Clayton Kershaw taking the mound for Los Angeles. Emmanuel Rivera will take his spot at third base and bat fifth.

Guillorme is out of the lineup for Monday's game in Milwaukee.

Before he landed on the injured list Aug. 15, Guillorme had filled the strong side of a platoon at third base with Eduardo Escobar. However, the lefty-hitting Guillorme looks to have faded into a reserve role since his return from the groin injury a week ago, as Escobar has earned himself more work against right-handed pitching by producing at the plate. Escobar will stick in the lineup Monday with reigning Cy Young Award winner Corbin Burnes on the hill for MIlwaukee.

Rodgers, who isn't starting Monday against the Giants, will undergo an MRI to determine the severity of his left hamstring strain, Patrick Lyons of TheDNVR.com reports.

Although manager Bud Black said Sunday that he doesn't think Rodgers' hamstring injury is significant, the second baseman will be further examined to determine the severity of the issue. Ryan McMahon is taking his place at the keystone and leading off Monday, while Rodgers should tentatively be considered day-to-day until the results of his MRI are known.

Rodgers (hamstring) isn't in the lineup Monday against the Giants, Danielle Allentuck of The Denver Gazette reports.

Rodgers was removed from Sunday's win over the Cubs due to a hamstring injury, but the issue isn't believed to be significant. However, he'll be held out of the lineup for at least one game while Ryan McMahon starts at second base and leads off.
