Rojas (back) is out of the lineup Tuesday against the Braves, Andre Fernandez of the Miami Herald reports.

Rojas will head to the bench after suffering from back spasms during Monday's game, ending a streak of three straight starts for the infielder. The Marlins seem to be viewing Rojas as day-to-day, but it's unclear if he'll be available off the bench Tuesday.

Turner will likely be benched for Tuesday's matchup against Milwaukee, Chelsea Janes of The Washington Post reports.

Turner attempted to bunt for a base hit during Monday's tilt, and after a poorly executed attempt, he refused to run to first base as he started launching his equipment onto the field prior to being ruled out. After the game, manager Dave Martinez stated, "There's a good chance he won't play tomorrow." Expect Wilmer Difo to get the nod at shortstop with Turner likely to ride the pine Tuesday due to a lack of hustle.

Herrera went 3-for-5 with a double and run scored Monday against the Tigers.

Herrera recorded his third three-hit game of the season and first extra-base hit since July 3. He has struggled to hit for any type of power -- he has no home runs and just a .343 slugging percentage through 102 at-bats -- but has recorded at least one hit in eight of his last 10 appearances. He appears poised to hang onto the everyday role in center field, though the addition of Brian Goodwin does add more competition to remain in the lineup.

Rojas was removed from Monday's tilt against Atlanta due to back spasms, Andre Fernandez of the Miami Herald reports.

It's currently unknown if Rojas will be healthy enough to play Tuesday, although he'll likely be reevaluated prior to the tilt. Rojas went 1-for-2 with a walk prior to leaving the ballgame.

Manager Ned Yost said Mondesi will likely return from the Family Medical Emergency List prior to Tuesday's game, Rustin Dodd of The Athletic reports.

Mondesi was placed on emergency leave prior to Friday's series opener against Minnesota, but it appears as though he's nearing a return to the active roster as the team begins a three-game set versus Detroit on Monday. Across 21 games with the Royals this year, he's slashed .250/.270/.444 with 11 RBI and five stolen bases.

Ahmed is not in the lineup Monday against the Cubs.

Ahmed had a three-RBI day Sunday in Colorado but won't get the chance to build on that performance right away. Ketel Marte will slide over to shortstop, with Daniel Desclaso starting at second base.

Diaz is not in the starting lineup versus Minnesota on Monday, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Diaz went 0-for-3 during Sunday's series finale against Baltimore after picking up six hits during the first two games of the series. He will get a day off while Lourdes Gurriel draws a start at shortstop for Monday's tilt.

Anderson went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 8-2 loss to Seattle.

The White Sox were no-hit through 5.2 innings before Adam Engel's infield single preceded Anderson's 14th homer of the season. He had began the year with 11 homers over the first 50 games, but Anderson's pace has fallen to just three long balls over his last 45. Still, the 25-year-old shortstop, who has stolen 21 bases, is threatening to post his first 20-20 season.

Correa (back) has begun playing catch and running, but has not been cleared to swing a bat, Austin Laymance of the Houston Chronicle reports.

For the first time we're learning that Correa suffered a setback over the All-Star break when the injured shortstop felt discomfort swinging a bat. Manager A.J. Hinch said there is no timetable for that to happen. "We're just progressing him slowly," Hinch said. "He's pain free. He's doing better. It's just a slow process to get him back to doing more hitting and fielding." The Astros aren't expecting Correa back in the majors for at least two weeks, a period of time that will include a rehabilitation stint.

Rojas went 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a run scored in Sunday's loss to the Rays.

Rojas drove in a pair of runs in the second inning as the Marlins got out to an early lead only to collapse in the bottom of the ninth. He went 3-for-8 with a double and three RBI during Miami's first series out of the All-Star break. Rojas has pieced together an uninspiring .257/.311/.352 batting line through 98 games this season.
