Holliday is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest versus the Yankees.

The left-handed-hitting Holliday will grab a seat as the Yankees send lefty Carlos Rodon to the bump. Jorge Mateo is at second base and batting eighth for the Orioles.

Dubon went 1-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored Monday against the Tigers.

Dubon began the season in a clear bench role, though his playing time has started to tick up at second base. Houston has shifted its order around in an effort to jump-start its offense, with Dubon starting four of the team's last eight games -- splitting evenly with Brendan Rodgers. The split of time hasn't been predictable by matchup, and one of Rodgers or Dubon is likely to emerge as the primary option based on performance.

Castro (oblique) worked out Monday and could be activated from the injured list when eligible Thursday, the Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

Castro will hit from the left side, which was hindered by his oblique injury, on Tuesday. If all goes well the Twins will then figure out his next course of action but it sounds like he may not need to go on a rehab assignment. He originally strained his right oblique on April 16.

Julien went 1-for-5 with a solo homer and a walk in Monday's 11-1 victory over the Guardians.

The Minnesota second baseman hit the game's first pitch out of the park, launching it 403 feet to center off starter Gavin Williams. Julien has been hitting leadoff in a strong-side platoon lately and should get plenty of run while Luke Keaschall (forearm) is on the injured list. Across 92 plate appearances, Julien is slashing .213/.304/.350 with two homers, eight runs scored and eight RBI.

Rodgers is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Tigers.

Rodgers' time as the Astros' primary second baseman may be over, as he'll take a seat for the third time in four games while he's mustered a weak .602 OPS through his first 57 plate appearances of the season. Mauricio Dubon will cover the keystone Monday, but the Astros could move Jose Altuve back to the infield on a more permanent basis if the club decides to phase Rodgers out while opening up more playing time in the outfield for Zach Dezenzo and/or Chas McCormick.

Schneemann is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Twins.

Schneemann will hit the bench after he had picked up starts -- two at second base and one in left field -- in each of the last three contests. The 28-year-old owns a .715 OPS over 49 plate appearances on the season, and while he doesn't appear to have a grasp on a full-time role, he should remain in line for a handful of starts per week against right-handed pitching due to his ability to play multiple infield and outfield spots.

Rojas (toe) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

Rojas' progress from a hairline fracture in his right big toe has been slow, but he's finally come along far enough to be cleared to participate in game action for the first time since suffering the injury in mid-March. The 30-year-old had been expected to serve as Chicago's primary second baseman before getting hurt and could still end up filling that role when activated from the injured list, but he offers the versatility to play multiple positions, if needed.

Torres went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double and three RBI in Sunday's 7-0 win over the Orioles.

Torres has been a steady performer in his first season with the Tigers, as he now has at least one hit in 12 of his 16 games played to go along with a .281 batting average. The infielder should continue to bat near the top of Detroit's order and provide reliable fantasy production in the process.

Campbell went 2-for-2 with a double, three walks, two RBI, four runs scored and a stolen base in Sunday's 13-3 win over the Guardians.

Campbell was a thorn in the Guardians' side all afternoon, going perfect at the plate for the first time in his career. The rookie has reached base in eight of his past 10 games while tallying four multi-hit efforts. On the season, he's slashing .305/.412/.474 with three home runs, 10 RBI, 17 runs scored and two steals across 114 plate appearances.

Urias went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer and a walk in Sunday's 3-2 extra-inning victory against the White Sox.

Urias drew his seventh consecutive start at second base, making the most of it by ending the game with his fourth homer of the season. The 27-year-old has heated up since taking over the keystone April 20, batting .304 (7-for-23) with three homers, four runs scored and RBI apiece. Overall, Urias is now slashing .275/.348/.575 across 47 plate appearances in his first season with the Athletics.
