Rojas is not in the lineup for Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Mets, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Rojas will receive the night off after going 1-for-3 with two RBI in the matinee. Jonathan Villar will shift to shortstop for Game 2, with Logan Forsythe starting at the keystone.

Bichette (knee) is progressing well and could begin baseball activities this weekend, Scott Mitchell of TSN.ca reports.

If he is hopeful to begin baseball activities this weekend, that likely rules out an August return, and it seems more likely we see him in early-to-mid September if all goes well. Santiago Espinal will continue to fill in for Bichette at shortstop for the time being.

Story went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Monday's 3-2 win over the Diamondbacks.

Story gave the Rockies an early lead with a solo shot off Diamondbacks starter Taylor Clarke in the first inning. That was Story's ninth homer of the year. He's batting .297/.362/.602 with 18 RBI, 26 runs scored and five stolen bases across 29 games. He's gone 6-for-21 (.286) with two homers, three RBI and four runs scored during his current five-game hitting streak.

Fletcher went 3-for-5 with an RBI single and a run scored in Monday's 11-4 loss to the Astros.

Fletcher plated Andrelton Simmons with an infield single in the third inning. In the fifth, Fletcher got aboard with another single and scored on Anthony Rendon's single. In his last six games, Fletcher has recorded four multi-hit efforts. He's produced 10 multi-hit games in 30 contests this year. He's slashing .317/.380/.460 with three homers, two stolen bases, 11 RBI and 20 runs scored.

DeJong went 1-for-3 with a double, three RBI, a run scored and a walk in Monday's 9-3 win over the Royals.

After going hitless in his return from the COVID-19 injured list Sunday, DeJong was able to contribute to a Cardinals' win with some nice at-bats Monday. He got the Redbirds on the board with a sacrifice fly in the first and extended the lead to 4-0 with a two-run double in the fifth. The shortstop has six hits in 25 at-bats this season.

Correa went 1-for-5 with a three-RBI double and a run scored in Monday's 11-4 win over the Angels.

Correa hit the bases-loaded double in the sixth inning to give the Astros a more comfortable lead. He then came around to score on a Kyle Tucker double to make it a 9-4 lead at the time. The 25-year-old Correa is slashing .295/.373/.438 with three homers, 19 RBI, 12 runs scored and six doubles in 29 contests.

Edman went 2-for-4 with two singles, an RBI, two runs scored and a walk in Monday's win over the Royals.

Edman shifted to second base with Kolten Wong getting the night off Monday. He reached base three times, increasing his on-base percentage to .313 on the campaign. Expect Edman to receive most of his playing time at third base going forward, with Wong likely returning to the lineup Tuesday.

Adames went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 6-4 loss to the Blue Jays.

Adames slugged a two-run homer to right field in the fourth inning, giving his club a 3-1 lead. In his third season of big-league action, the 24-year-old shortstop is slashing .295/.386/.534 with three home runs, 10 RBI and a stolen base through 28 games.

Baez went 3-for-5 with two home runs and three RBI in Monday's 9-3 win over the Tigers.

Baez went to work against the Detroit bullpen, hitting a two-run shot off Tyler Alexander in the fourth inning then following that up with a solo home run against John Schreiber in the ninth. The 27-year-old shortstop is still off to a slow start by his standards with a .219 batting average and .684 OPS, but a game like this could be just what he needs to get rolling.

DeJong, who was activated from the COVID-19 injured list earlier in the day, went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in a win over the Reds on Sunday.

DeJong was logging his first game action since July 29, so it isn't surprising his timing may have been a bit off. The slugging shortstop should be primed for his usual everyday role moving forward.
