Rojas (ankle) is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Braves, Andre Fernandez of the Miami Herald reports.

Rojas will retreat to the bench after exiting Game 2 of Monday's doubleheader with a bruised left ankle. JT Riddle will start at shortstop and hit sixth in his stead. Consider the shortstop day-to-day.

Crawford was optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday, Meghan Montemurro of The Athletic Philadelphia reports.

Crawford hadn't appeared in a game since returning from the disabled list Aug. 10, and there isn't a clear path to playing time following the acquisition of Asdrubal Cabrera, so he'll head back to the minors for some more consistent playing time. The 23-year-old has hit just .194/.312/.333 across 34 big-league games this season. Hector Neris was recalled from the minors in a corresponding move.

DeJong went 1-for-5 with a walkoff solo home run in the Cardinals' 7-6 victory over the Nationals on Monday.

The Cardinals overcame a two-run deficit in the final two innings to come away with the win, with DeJong providing the knockout blow to lead off the bottom of the ninth. DeJong's OPS has fallen more than 90 points from his rookie season, but the shortstop has turned in one of his more productive stretches of the campaign over the past week. He has recorded a hit in each of his last seven games, homering four times and driving in nine runs over that span.

Crawford was removed from Monday's game against the Dodgers following a collision with Gorkys Hernandez in left field, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic Bay Area reports.

Crawford appeared to take a knee to the head during the collision, and while he batted the following inning, Alen Hanson entered the game at shortstop shortly after. The extent of Crawford's injury is currently unknown, but more news should surface after further evaluation.

Rojas was diagnosed with a left ankle bruise after leaving Game 2 of Monday's doubleheader against the Braves.

This is relatively good news for the Marlins, as Rojas will be considered day-to-day moving forward. He'll likely be reevaluated prior to Tuesday's matchup before a decision on his status is made.

Rojas left the night cap of Monday's doubleheader against Atlanta with an apparent ankle injury, Andre Fernandez of the Miami Herald reports.

Rojas grabbed his ankle after being thrown out on a play at third base. The severity of the issue should be revealed after further evaluation, but he'll be considered day-to-day for now. Yadiel Rivera entered the ballgame at third base to replace the injured Rojas.

Rojas is not in the lineup for the first game of Monday's doubleheader against the Braves, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.

Rojas is riding a five-game hitting streak. He could get a chance to extend that in the evening portion of Monday's doubleheader, but likely not in the afternoon game, as J.T. Riddle will get the start at shortstop.

Swanson is not in the lineup for the afternoon portion of Monday's doubleheader against the Marlins.

Swanson is hitting just 4-for-29 in the month of August. Charlie Culberson will get the call at shortstop in his place.

DeJong went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in the 8-2 win over Kansas City on Sunday.

DeJong has three homers in his last five games, bringing him to 12 on the season alongside his 35 RBI. He owns a disappointing .760 OPS in just 305 plate appearances this season after registering a .857 number in his rookie campaign last year.

d'Arnaud (knee) is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates, Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

A knee bruise had been affecting d'Arnaud since Tuesday, but he was used as a defensive replacement for the ninth inning in Friday's game, so he appears to be healthy. Evan Longoria and Joe Panik will start at third and second base Sunday, respectively.
