Edwards was added to the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mets.

Edwards will start at second base and bat ninth for the Marlins after Luis Arraez suffered a left ankle sprain during pregame infield practice. It's the first start for Edwards since Friday's series opener versus Atlanta, but he could see a sudden uptick in playing time if Arraez requires an extended absence.

Arraez was scratched from the lineup Tuesday versus the Mets due to a left ankle sprain, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.

Arraez rolled his ankle during a pregame workout Tuesday in Miami and could need multiple days off for rest and treatment. This injury comes with awful timing for the Marlins, who are currently a half-game back of the third NL wild-card spot. Xavier Edwards is filling in at second base Tuesday night against New York.

Kim (abdomen) remains out of the lineup Tuesday against the Rockies.

This is the third straight absence for Kim, who came down with some abdominal discomfort over the weekend and is still being evaluated. Matthew Batten will play second base and bat seventh for the Padres on Tuesday versus Colorado.

Alu is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the White Sox.

Blake Rutherford, Jacob Young and Lane Thomas will start across the outfield for the Nationals as Luis Garcia covers second base. Alu, 26, has batted just .221/.262/.250 across his first 42 major-league games (146 plate appearances) this season with Washington.

Turang is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Cardinals.

Andruw Monasterio is playing second base and batting eighth as the Brewers match up against left-hander Drew Rom. Turang has slashed just .193/.281/.193 in 65 plate appearances versus lefties this year.

Mauricio is starting at third base and batting second Tuesday at Miami.

It's the fifth consecutive start for Mauricio, as Brett Baty continues to be limited by a left groin strain. Mauricio, 22, boasts a .308/.345/.404 slash line with one homer and six steals in 14 major-league games (55 plate appearances) since the Mets made him a Sept. 1 call-up.

Rodgers went 3-for-4 with two RBI and one run scored in Monday's 11-9 loss to the Padres.

Rodgers has three multi-hit efforts in a row and a five-game hitting streak. He's struggled to generate runs lately, as he had just three RBI over his previous 22 contests before knocking in a pair of runs on RBI singles in the second and ninth innings Monday. Rodgers is slashing .252/.317/.315 with no home runs, 14 RBI, 16 runs scored, six doubles and a triple through 34 games this season.

Kim "is still experiencing some abdominal discomfort," Annie Heilbrunn of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Kim was scratched from the lineup for Sunday's contest due to the soreness, and according to the report the team is still trying to identify what exactly is ailing him. One way or another, Kim will not start Monday for a second straight day.

Guillorme (calf) was activated from the 10-day injured list Monday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Guillorme has been on the shelf since late July because of a right calf strain, but he's been cleared to return to action following a six-game rehab assignment. Infielder Jonathan Arauz was sent down to Triple-A Syracuse in a corresponding move.

Edwards is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Mets, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Edwards went 4-for-16 with a walk, an RBI and two runs while making five consecutive starts at second base last week, but he appears to have since settled back into a utility role in the wake of Jorge Soler's recent return from the IL. With Soler having been reinstalled as the Marlins' designated hitter, Luis Arraez is expected to see most of his starts at the keystone moving forward rather than at first base. Edwards will hit the bench for a third straight contest as a result.
