Rodgers (illness) remains out of the starting lineup Sunday against the Padres after being scratched Saturday, Daniel Guerrero of MLB.com reports.

Rodgers was a late removal from Saturday's lineup due to some stomach issues, and the infielder still appears to be feeling sick Sunday. He'll get an extra day off prior to the All-Star break as he looks to return to the lineup Friday against the Dodgers.

Lux went 1-for-4 with a triple, three RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 22-1 win over the Diamondbacks.

Lux was held out of the lineup Saturday, but thanks to the Dodgers racing out to an early 9-0 lead, multiple starters were pulled from the contest early. That allowed Lux to receive a relative normal load of at-bats in a bench role, and he was able to match his RBI total from his prior 18 games combined when he tripled with the bases loaded in the eighth inning. The 23-year-old infielder is now slashing .233/.316/.361 across 301 plate appearances on the season.

Rodgers was scratched from Saturday's starting lineup against the Padres due to illness, Danielle Allentuck of The Denver Gazette reports.

Trevor Story was also a late removal from the lineup due to soreness from a HBP on Friday. Garrett Hampson and Chris Owings will start at second base and shortstop, respectively. Rodgers can be considered questionable for Sunday's series finale.

Estrada went 4-for-5 with three RBI and a run scored Saturday against Washington.

Estrada continued to produce offensively for the Giants, putting together the first four-hit game of his major-league career while driving in a trio of runs. The 25-year-old owns a .360/.429/.520 slashing line in his 28 plate appearances this season, providing a boost to a San Francisco squad that currently has multiple infielders on the injured list.

Frazier is not in the starting lineup for Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Mets, Jake Crouse of MLB.com reports.

Frazier went 1-for-4 with a run scored in Game 1. He'll rest for at least the beginning portion of Game 2 as Rodolfo Castro mans the keystone.

Lux is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against Arizona, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

Lux sits against southpaw Caleb Smith, meaning he's now been on the bench against four of the last five lefties the Dodgers have faced. Chris Taylor starts at shortstop in his absence.

McNeil is not in the lineup for Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Pirates, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.

The infielder tallied a single and a run in four at-bats Friday, lowering his average to .304 in 23 July at-bats. McNeil has failed to recorded an extra-base hit this month, though, and he has driven home just a pair of runs. He'll likely return to the lineup for the nightcap after Jose Peraza plays second base in Game 1.

Rodgers is not in the starting lineup Friday against the Padres.

Rodgers will get his first breather since June 29. Chris Owings will man the keystone and bat eighth Friday.

Albies (neck) is starting at second base and batting third Friday against the Marlins.

The 24-year-old exited Wednesday's game against the Pirates with neck tightness, but he's ready to play after Thursday's scheduled off day. Albies is 6-for-25 with a double, a walk, three RBI, two runs and two stolen bases through seven games in July.

Rojas went 2-for-5 in Thursday's 9-3 loss to Colorado.

Rojas entered the contest on a 1-for-22 run before adding hits in his first two plate appearances. He's been getting steady work -- he's started six of the last seven games at corner outfield and middle infield -- while batting at or near the top of the order. The Diamondbacks will continue to develop the 27-year-old, who is batting .251 over 84 games, but there's been some element of luck. Statcast estimates his expected batting average to be 23 points lower.
