Dubon is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Red Sox, Julia Morales of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.

Dubon racked up 11 hits -- including two homers and two doubles -- over his last 22 at-bats, but as been the case more often than not lately, he will open on the bench Monday. Jake Meyers, Chas McCormick and Dubon are all sharing the starts in center field at the moment, and it will be McCormick who gets the nod Monday.

Clement was recalled from Triple-A Buffalo on Monday.

The 27-year-old utility man will provide some infield depth while Matt Chapman (finger) is on the 10-day injured list and while Bo Bichette (quadricep) is day-to-day. Clement has a career .542 OPS over parts of three big-league seasons.

Ibanez is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Yankees.

Ibanez started at second base in four of the past five games, but he'll turn the keystone over to Zach McKinstry while the Tigers open up a four-game set with the Yankees. The 30-year-old began his recent run of starts with a two-homer, four-RBI effort in last Tuesday's win over the Cubs, but he went 2-for-12 over his subsequent three contests. Ibanez still looks like a part-time player in the Detroit infield rather than a mainstay in the lineup.

Rojas went 0-for-2 with a walk, a stolen base and a run in a win over the Royals on Sunday.

Rojas made good use of his one trip on the basepaths, stealing second after drawing a fifth-inning walk, recording his 10th stolen base of the season and ultimately coming around to score on another home run by Julio Rodriguez. Rojas has now reached safely in seven straight games, a stretch during which he owns a .414 average with three extra-base hits, six RBI, two walks, four steals and 10 runs.

Lowe went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, a double, a walk and four RBI in Sunday's 7-4 win over the Yankees.

Lowe opened things up with a solo home run off Carlos Rodon in the first inning and then later singled in a run as part of a four-run sixth inning while falling a triple short of the cycle. It was his fourth three-hit game of the year and his sixth game with at least three RBI, and it was also his first home run off a left-hander this season. Lowe has enjoyed a productive second half, slashing .261/.353/.496 with eight home runs, 23 RBI, 18 runs and a 13:28 BB:K in 136 plate appearances.

Dubon went 3-for-6 with a solo homer, two RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 17-4 win over the Tigers.

Dubon was one of nine Astros with multiple hits on the day and showcased some power for his seventh home run of the year and his second this month. The 28-year-old has done well with his chances and is slashing .383/.434/.596 since Aug. 9 and has recorded a hit in all but one start since then. Dubon will continue to play a utility depth role for the club, and it seems his only path to more consistent playing time would be an injury to one of the Astros' starters.

Schneider went 2-for-4 with one double, a home run, two RBI and one run scored in Sunday's 10-7 loss against Cleveland.

Schneider earned a rare start against a righty and delivered with his fifth home run in just 37 at-bats for the Blue Jays. Schneider has shown to run hot and cold in his first month in the big leagues. He now has six hits in his last 11 at-bats with three homers, six RBI and five runs scored.

Diaz cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Toledo on Sunday.

Diaz was optioned to Toledo in mid-August, and he'll now lose his spot on the Tigers' 40-man roster. Over 32 Triple-A games this year, Dias has hit .235 with nine homers, 28 runs, 25 RBI and three stolen bases.

Rengifo went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 3-2 loss against the Mets.

Rengifo put the Angels ahead 2-1 in the eighth inning with a 417-foot blast off Drew Smith, his 12th homer of the year. The 26-year-old Rengifo has been on a tear of late, going 11-for-23 (.478) with four extra-base hits in his last seven contests. Overall, his slash line is up to .247/.333/.410with 50 runs scored, 42 RBI and five steals across 405 plate appearances as he continues to see steady playing time in a utility role.

Julien is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers.

Julien will bow out of the starting nine along with fellow left-handed hitter Max Kepler while the Rangers bring southpaw Jordan Montgomery to the hill. Kyle Farmer will pick up a start in the Minnesota infield and will bat seventh while Julien retreats to the bench.
