Manager Dave Roberts said Seager won't be able to throw at 100 percent for the rest of the season, Andy McCullough of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Seager is apparently still dealing with some elbow pain when he throws, though the issue isn't expected to force him to miss any time down the stretch. The Dodgers' medical staff deemed the ailment "playable," and Roberts confirmed the star shortstop will start "the rest of the season" following Monday's day off. It has already been speculated that the 23-year-old may need offseason surgery to address his elbow injury. He'll likely have to play through some pain down the stretch; the good news is that Seager is mostly bothered by the issue when he throws, so his hitting may not be affected.

Arcia is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Pirates.

Arcia remains the Brewers' regular shortstop, but he's opened a few more games on the bench of late with manager Craig Counsell looking to get Eric Sogard in the lineup more frequently. Monday marks the third time in six games Sogard has gotten the nod over Arcia.

Rojas (shoulder) is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Mets, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.

Rojas is out indefinitely after suffering a left shoulder strain while diving for a ball during Sunday's game against the Brewers. Mike Aviles will continue to start at shortstop while Rojas remains sidelined.

Seager is not in the lineup Monday against the Phillies, Eric Stephen of True Blue LA reports.

Seager has started nine straight games since returning from an elbow injury earlier in the month, but he's hit just .216/.286/.351 in 37 at-bats during that span, so he'll get the day off as Enrique Hernandez starts in his place at shortstop.

Cordoba started in right field and went 2-for-4 in Sunday's win over Colorado.

The 21-year-old was a late addition to the lineup after Jabari Blash was scratched for an undisclosed reason. It was Cordoba's first start since Sept. 2 and just his second since July 26, so the Padres are unlikely to use the Rule 5 draft pick in anything more than a reserve utility role.

Rojas, who exited Sunday's game early, was officially diagnosed with a left shoulder strain.

Rojas injured his left shoulder while diving for a ball in the second inning. The severity of the strain has not been revealed, but it appears that the shortstop could be sidelined for some time with the ailment. We'll await word from the Marlins on his official timeline.

Rojas exited Sunday's game against the Brewers with an apparent injury, Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald reports.

Rojas appeared to injure himself while diving for a groundball in the top of the second inning. He was holding his left wrist after the play, so he could be dealing with a wrist or potential shoulder injury. He was replaced by Mike Aviles at shortstop.

Baez is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Baez has started 10 of the past 11 games, but he'll head to the bench as the Cubs look to sweep the series against the Cardinals. Though he's able to play a number of positions, Baez figures to see a downtick in playing time following fellow shortstop Addison Russell's activation from the disabled list Saturday.

Swanson is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Mets.

Johan Camargo will step in at short as Swanson sits following four consecutive starts. Swanson showed improvement initially upon his return to the majors, but he's hit another slide in recent weeks. While his dynasty-league stock has taken a considerable hit this season, Swanson is still just 23 and should have every opportunity to reverse the narrative in 2018.

Seager went 1-for-5 with a three-run homer Friday against the Nationals.

Seager crushed his 20th bomb of the year to break the game open in the second inning of a winning effort. The blast was his first since August 5, and his slugging percentage has dropped significantly since that time, but hopefully he'll get hot in time to help fantasy managers advance in the playoffs.
