Dubon has gone 1-for-14 in his last nine games.

Dubon has already been contained to a part-time role even with injuries piling up in the Giants' outfield. With Mike Yastrzemski (illness) and Joc Pederson (groin) nearing returns, Dubon's path to playing time is likely to narrow even more. For the season, the utility man has a .143/.138/.179 slash line with three RBI, three runs scored and a double in 29 plate appearances.

Chavis is out of the lineup for the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Tigers.

Chavis made four consecutive starts from last Wednesday through Saturday, but he now finds himself on the bench for the second game in a row. With the Pirates recently returning Bryan Reynolds and Cole Tucker from the COVID-19 injured list, the righty-hitting Chavis looks like he'll find himself on the bench more often than not against right-handed pitchers.

Urias (quadriceps) went 1-for-2 with a walk, an RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's win over the Reds.

Urias, who was making his 2022 debut after missing the start of the season with a quad injury, scored on a Willy Adames homer in the third inning and later drove in a run on a single. He was also caught stealing -- a bit of a bummer, but it's nice to see he's feeling spry enough to run. Urias was batting out of the nine hole in his first game off the injured list.

Hoerner went 1-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Tuesday's loss to the White Sox.

Hoerner delivered the Cubs' only extra-base hit and only RBI in the 3-1 loss to their crosstown rivals. Andrelton Simmons (shoulder) recently began throwing again, and his eventual return could cut into Hoerner's playing time. For now, Hoerner should see most of the team's time at shortstop, and he's performed pretty well with a .278 average, though he only has one home run and eight RBI across 22 games.

Lux is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Giants, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Lux started the past six games and will receive a day off after going 5-for-18 with one run during that stretch. Hanser Alberto will start at the keystone and bat ninth in Lux's place.

Marte is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Marlins.

Marte will sit for the second time this season after going 3-for-26 with a solo home run and no other RBI while starting each of Arizona's last seven games. The poor stretch at the plate was a continuation of a rough start to the season for Marte, who enters Monday's contest with a .151/.213/.279 slash line across 94 plate appearances.

The Brewers reinstated Urias (quadriceps) from the 10-day injured list Monday, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

Milwaukee designated reliever Jose Urena for assignment to clear room on the active roster for Urias, who is expected to make his season debut in Tuesday's series opener with the Reds. After suffering the left quad injury in a March 19 Cactus League game, Urias was slow to resume baseball activities, but the Brewers appear confident in his health after he recently wrapped up a seven-game rehab assignment at Double-A Biloxi. Urias wasn't especially productive at Biloxi with a .148/.258/.185 slash line across 31 plate appearances, but he's expected to immediately reclaim everyday duties at third base. Milwaukee had been running a platoon of Jace Peterson and Mike Brosseau at the position for the first three-plus weeks of the season.

McNeil went 4-for-5 with two doubles, two runs scored and an RBI in Sunday's win over the Phillies.

Hitting third and getting the start in left field, McNeil continued a recent tear that has seen him pile up five multi-hit performances over the last seven games. The 30-year-old's hot streak has pushed his batting average up to .361 (26-for-72) on the season with one homer, one steal, 10 RBI and 13 runs through 21 contests.

Rodgers went 2-for-4 with a double, four RBI and a run scored Sunday against the Reds.

Rodgers returned from a four-game absence caused by a back injury and reclaimed his starting role at second base. He began the performance with an RBI single in the first inning, and one frame later he delivered a bases-clearing double. The effort marked the first time Rodgers tallied multiple hits in a game in 2022, and the double was only his second extra-base hit of the campaign. Rodgers has gotten off to a disastrous start to the season by posting a .109/194/.145 line, but Sunday's performance was an encouraging sign that he can get on track at the plate.

Rojas (oblique) will soon begin a rehab assignment and is expected back in the majors during Arizona's upcoming homestand, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.

Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said Rojas, who has been getting at-bats in extended spring training games, will play for "one or maybe two games" at Triple-A Reno. The rehab assignment likely rules out a return while the Diamondbacks finish a road trip in Miami, but Rojas could make his season debut at some point during the nine-game homestand that begins Friday against Colorado. He played seven innings at shortstop Saturday, but that was to ensure he's comfortable moving around the infield if needed. Lovullo indicated Rojas will see most of his innings at third base.
