Rojas went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Monday's 6-1 loss to the Giants.

Rojas stole a base for the third consecutive game and is up to 16, a career high in the majors, and he has not been caught. He hasn't been as prolific a base stealer as when he was a minor leaguer; Rojas stole 38 bags in 2018 and 32 in 2019 before becoming a regular for Arizona.

Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said Marte's hamstring does not warrant a trip to the injured list, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.

Marte was removed from Sunday's game in Colorado during the ninth inning when he felt tightness in his left hamstring. Lovullo said there are no plans for Marte to undergo imaging, a sign that the team feels the injury is not serious. The Diamondbacks noted this was the third time Marte injured his hamstring while playing in Denver, and Lovullo said the second baseman will likely get one day off every time the team travels to Colorado. The Diamondbacks will be in Denver for a third and final time from Sept. 9 through 11.

Dubon went 1-for-5 with a run scored Monday against the White Sox.

Dubon got the start at second base and led off with both Jeremy Pena (neck) and Jose Altuve out of the lineup. He led off the game with a single before coming around to score on a Yordan Alvarez sacrifice fly. Including Monday, Dubon has started only six of Houston's 13 games in August, collecting two hits across 20 at-bats.

Rengifo went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to the Mariners on Monday.

Rengifo provided an early spark for the Angels, slugging a game-tying solo shot off Luis Castillo in the first inning. The long ball was his third in his past seven games after he failed to go deep in 28 straight contests from July 5 to Aug. 7. Rengifo is slashing .315/.341/.500 with six homers, 13 doubles, 23 RBI and four stolen bases over his past 45 games.

Lux went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in a 4-0 victory against Milwaukee on Monday.

Lux's sixth-inning homer to left field put the final insurance runs on the board for Los Angeles. It was his second long ball in three days following a 22-game stretch without going deep. Lux's .296 season batting average is impressive but comes with only six homers. He'll see his fantasy value jump down the stretch if he's able to continue unlocking more power.

Semien went 2-for-4 with one homer, one RBI and one run scored in Monday's win over Oakland.

After going hitless in his previous nine at bats, Semien returned to form with a two-hit effort Monday, including a solo home run in the third inning. The home run is his 18th on the season and keeps him on track for his first career 20/20 season. (Semien has 19 steals.) The veteran second baseman is now slashing .238/.296/.406 over 114 games this season.

Gimenez went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in a loss during Game 2 of Monday's doubleheader against Detroit.

Gimenez knocked a two-run shot during Cleveland's three-run fourth inning. He went 4-for-8 with two home runs, a double and five RBI during Monday's doubleheader, improving his season slash line to an impressive .312/.377/.503 through 104 games. Since the start of August, Gimenez has gone 20-for-48 (.417) with seven steals, five extra-base hits and eight strikeouts through 13 games.

Polanco was removed from Monday's game against the Royals after banging his knee on a slide at the plate, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

This appeared to be a precautionary move by the Twins, though Polanco will likely be checked out by trainers Tuesday to determine his status for the second game of the series. Nick Gordon or Luis Arraez could get a look at the keystone if Polanco is unable to go Tuesday.

Gimenez went 3-for-4 with a three-run home run and a double in Game 1 of Monday's doubleheader against Detroit.

Gimenez broke a 1-1 tie in the bottom of the seventh with his 13th homer of the 2022 campaign. He's now batting .431 in August with five RBI, eight runs scored and seven stolen bases (13 games).

Guillorme will miss at least three weeks with a left groin strain, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

There were conflicting reports on exactly how much time Guillorme will miss, but he will be out of action until at least sometime in September. Guillorme was placed on the injured list Monday night and was replaced on the roster by Deven Marrero, who along with Eduardo Escobar will handle the hot corner until Guillorme is ready to return.
