Tovar went 1-for-3 with a solo homer in Wednesday's loss to the Mets.

Tovar jumped on the first pitch he saw from Paul Blackburn in the opening frame and launched it 434 feet for his 19th home run of the campaign, giving Colorado an early 1-0 lead. The shortstop has struggled mightily since the start of August, batting just .120 (3-for-25) through six games so far. The home run marked both his first extra-base hit and first RBI this month, though he's now scored a run in back-to-back games.

Lindor went 2-for-5 with two RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Wednesday's win over the Rockies.

Lindor singled in his first trip to the plate and stole second before coming around to score the Mets' first run of the game on a knock from Pete Alonso. The shortstop then came through in the clutch in his final at-bat, recording a two-RBI single in the ninth to break the tie and give New York a 4-2 lead. Lindor has now hit safely in five of his first six games to open the month of August, posting three RBI, four runs and two stolen bases over that brief stretch. He's also posted multiple hits in three of his last nine contests, though he's still looking for his first extra-base hit this month.

The Dodgers reinstated Rojas (forearm) from the 10-day injured list Wednesday.

Rojas landed on the injured list July 24 due to right forearm tightness, and he played in just one rehab game in Single-A. However, now back on the active roster, the 35-year-old will likely start at shortstop until Mookie Betts (hand) is able to return from the IL. James Outman was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City in a corresponding move.

Cruz (illness) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Padres, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribunereports.

The 25-year-old was held out of Tuesday's starting nine due to an illness and will sit for a second straight game Wednesday. Isiah Kiner-Falefa will receive another look at shortstop while Jared Triolo starts at second base with Cruz under the weather.

Luciano is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

After receiving a call-up from Triple-A Sacramento on July 30, Luciano made starts at designated hitter in five of the ensuing six games, but he went just 3-for-17 with eight strikeouts. His run as an everyday player may already be over, as Luciano is sitting for the third time in four games, including for the second time against a right-handed starting pitcher (Jake Irvin).

Perdomo is out of the lineup for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Guardians, Jesse Friedman of GoPHNX.com reports.

Perdomo made a fifth consecutive start in the first game of the day, going 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in the Diamondbacks' 7-3 win. He'll retreat to the bench for the nightcap while Kevin Newman receives a turn at shortstop.

Kim (triceps) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's game in Pittsburgh, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Kim will miss a second straight start while dealing with soreness in his right triceps. The Padres are considering the infielder day-to-day. Tyler Wade will garner another start at shortstop Wednesday in Kim's stead.

Sosa went 2-for-4 with a solo homer, three RBI and a steal in Tuesday's win over the Dodgers.

Sosa singled home two runs in the sixth and later added some more insurance with a solo home run in the ninth inning. The RBI were his first since July 12 and it was just his second multi-hit game since June 27. Sosa got some run as a starter when Trea Turner was injured earlier in the year, but Sosa's primarily operated as a bench bat. The 28-year-old is slashing .274/.329/.458 with six homers, 25 RBI, 29 runs, six steals and a 10:50 BB:K in 207 plate appearances this season.

Adames went 4-for-5 with two home runs and four RBI in Tuesday's 10-0 win over Atlanta.

The shortstop launched two-run shots off Bryce Elder in the first and third innings. It was Adames' second multi-homer performance of the season, with the other coming May 1 against the Rays. Over his last 20 games, he's posted a blistering .329/.391/.633 slash line with six homers, 13 runs and 17 RBI, and Adames sits one long ball short of his fourth straight 20-homer campaign.

Cruz was unavailable for Tuesday's game against the Padres due to an illness, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.

Cruz had started every game since the All-Star break, slashing .300/.354/.583 with three homers and 12 RBI in 15 games before his illness forced him to sit down Tuesday. Isiah Kiner-Falefa and Jared Triolo made up the middle of Pittsburgh's infield while Cruz was sidelined, and they would both likely get the starting nod again if the 25-year-old slugger is unable to play Wednesday.
