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

Rengifo opened the scoring with a solo shot off Frankie Montas in the second inning. The infielder also went deep Sunday, and he's now homered in consecutive contests twice over the past two weeks. Rengifo is slashing .252/.252/.477 with six homers and 17 RBI through 26 games in August.

Gorman is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Reds, according to Katie Woo of The Athletic.

Gorman's 4-for-29 (.138) stretch at the plate has coincided with Albert Pujols' hot streak, and the rookie will sit out in favor of the veteran for a second straight day. Gorman started seven straight games prior to the mini-break, so he has not lost a regular role just yet.

Haggerty (finger) isn't starting Tuesday's game in Detroit.

This will be Haggerty's fourth straight game on the bench as he recovers from a finger injury, though he's expected to rejoin the lineup Wednesday, per Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times. Mitch Haniger is the right fielder and Carlos Santana will serve as the designated hitter Tuesday.

Lowe (elbow) is not in the lineup Tuesday versus Miami.

Lowe, dealing with a bruised right elbow, should still be considered day-to-day leading up to Wednesday's game against the Marlins. Yu Chang is filling in as the second baseman Tuesday.

Arroyo is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Twins, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

At least while Eric Hosmer (back) is on the shelf, Arroyo appears primed to see most of the reps at first base moving forward now that primary second baseman Trevor Story is back from a stint on the injured list, but Arroyo will give way to Franchy Cordero in Tuesday's contest. Before going 0-for-4 in Monday's 4-2 loss in the series opener, Arroyo had slashed an excellent .341/.363/.455 over his previous 22 games in August.

Arroyo started at first base and went 0-for-4 in Monday's 4-2 loss to Minnesota.

This marked just the second time Arroyo has started at first base during his career. His hot August bat prompted manager Alex Cora to alter the defense and get Arroyo in the lineup. With news that Eric Hosmer (back) is swinging a bat, per Pete Abraham of the Boston Globe, it's unclear how long Arroyo will remain the primary first baseman.

Marte started at second base and went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double, an RBI and two runs scored in Monday's 13-7 win over Philadelphia.

Marte was restricted to designated hitter and pinch-hit duty the past week, but he returned to the field just in time to accommodate Arizona's call-up of top prospect Corbin Carroll. Opening up the DH slot allows manager Torey Lovullo to fill up the outfield with young guns Carroll, Alex Thomas and Daulton Varsho while giving Jake McCarthy's hot bat a home in the lineup.

Drury went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, an additional RBI and a walk in Monday's 6-5 win against the Giants.

Drury put the Padres up by three with his first-inning two-run homer, and he added what ended up being the decisive RBI with a single in the fifth. The long ball was his first in 14 games after he opened his San Diego tenure with three homers in first nine contests. Drury is slashing .211/.250/.378 with four homers and 18 RBI over 24 games as a Padre.

Urias isn't starting Monday against the Pirates, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Urias is on the bench for a second consecutive matchup after he went just 1-for-8 with a double, four walks and a strikeout over his last three games. Jace Peterson is starting at the hot corner and batting seventh.

Polanco (kneecap) isn't starting Monday against the Red Sox.

Polanco was removed from Saturday's game against San Francisco due to left patellar tendinitis and didn't play Sunday. He'll remain out of the lineup for a second consecutive game Monday while Nick Gordon starts at the keystone and bats fifth.
