Lux isn't starting Game 1 of Tuesday's doubleheader versus the Diamondbacks, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Lux will take a seat against lefty Tyler Gilbert after starting two straight contests, going 2-for-7 over those games including a walk-off two-run double on Sunday. Max Muncy will start at second base while Hanser Alberto enters the lineup at third base.

Urias went 2-for-3 with a walk in Monday's 1-0 win over Atlanta.

The 24-year-old matched the entire Atlanta roster by reaching base three times in the game. Urias has hit the ground running after missing the first four weeks of the season with a quad strain, batting .302 (13-for-43) in 12 games with two homers, six RBI and nine runs.

Lux went 1-for-3 with a double, a run, a walk and two RBI in a 5-4 win over Philadelphia on Sunday.

Lux's poor defense looked like it would cost the Dodgers a win throughout most of the contest, as his second-inning error resulted in four Phillies unearned runs. However, the infielder made up for the miscue in the bottom of the ninth inning, smacking a two-out double that plated the winning runs for Los Angeles. It was the first time Lux has knocked in any runs since May 4, as his chances have been limited with him batting at the bottom of the order.

Rodgers went 2-for-5 with a run scored Sunday against the Royals.

Rodgers missed time with a hand injury earlier in the week, though he returned for Colorado's weekend series against the Royals. He delivered multiple hits in all three games and recorded a home run, five RBI and five runs scored. After a slow start to the season, Rodgers has dropped his strikeout rate to 22.1 percent and has progressively improved his line to .216/.260/.340 across 104 plate appearances.

Estrada is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Estrada started 31 of 32 games at second base to begin the season for San Francisco, but he now finds himself on the bench for the second straight contest. He has a .242/.271/.350 slash line with two home runs, 18 RBI, 21 runs and five stolen bases this season, but his time working in an everyday role may be at an end following the return of Evan Longoria (finger) from the injured list. Wilmer Flores is starting at the keystone and batting third Sunday.

Donovan is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Donovan went 6-for-12 with a home run, four doubles, four walks, four RBI and four runs while starting the past five games, and he'll receive a well-deserved day off in the series finale versus San Francisco. Edmundo Sosa will start at shortstop and bat ninth in his place.

Hoerner was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a sprained right ankle, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports. The move is retroactive to May 12.

Hoerner was out of the lineup Sunday for the third consecutive contest and will now be sidelined for at least another week. Andrelton Simmons (shoulder) was activated from the 10-day IL in a corresponding move, so Hoerner's time as Chicago's everyday shortstop has likely come to an end even once healthy.

Hoerner (ankle) is out of the lineup Sunday against the Diamondbacks.

Hoerner will be sidelined for the third consecutive game after spraining his right ankle Wednesday against the Padres. The 25-year-old was cleared for light baseball activities Saturday, so he may be another day or two away from retaking the field. Ildemaro Vargas will receive another start at shortstop in his absence.

Lux will sit Saturday against the Phillies, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

Lux jumped out of the gate with a 1.128 OPS in his first seven games, but he's since stumbled to a .510 OPS over his last 21 contests. He'll sit after starting six straight games, with Hanser Alberto taking over at second base.

Hoerner (ankle) remains out Saturday against Arizona.

Hoerner has been out since spraining his right ankle Wednesday against the Padres. Per Jordan Bastian of MLB.com, Hoerner was only ready for light baseball activities Saturday, so it's possible he won't return for Sunday's series finale. Ildemaro Vargas remains the starting shortstop in Hoerner's absence.
