Dubon is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Diamondbacks, Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Dubon is out of the lineup for the third straight contest as he has a .627 OPS and two steals in 79 plate appearances. Mike Yastrzemski shifts to center field Friday, while Joey Rickard starts in right.

Gimenez was activated from the COVID-19 injured list prior to Friday's doubleheader against the Yankees, Tim Healey of Newsday reports. He is not in the lineup for Game 1.

Amed Rosario and Jeff McNeil will start up the middle for the matinee, but we could see Gimenez in there for the nightcap. He had predictably cooled off prior to landing on the IL, hitting .154 with a 7:1 K:BB over his last 26 at-bats, although he still managed three steals on three attempts over that span.

Lux was placed back on the taxi squad after serving as the 29th man for Thursday's doubleheader against the Giants, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

Lux started Game 2 of the twin bill and went 0-for-3 with a pair of strikeouts. The 22-year-old will rejoin the Dodgers' taxi squad and should remain the top option to nab a roster spot if Los Angeles needs another infielder.

Dubon is not in the starting lineup for Game 2 of Thursday's doubleheader against the Dodgers.

Despite southpaw Caleb Ferguson pitching for Los Angeles, Dubon is set to sit, as he did for the matinee.

Rosario is not starting Thursday against the Marlins.

Rosario will head to the bench for Thursday's series finale after starting the past six games and going 5-for-23 with a home run and four RBI in the process. Luis Guillorme is starting at shortstop and hitting seventh in his place.

Lux is starting at second base as the 29th man for Thursday's doubleheader against the Giants, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

Lux will make his 2020 debut as part of the starting lineup for the second game of Thursday's twin bill. While his time on the major-league roster is currently only for the team's doubleheader, he'll likely remain on the taxi squad afterward.

Dubon is not starting Game 1 of Thursday's doubleheader against the Dodgers.

Dubon is hitting .264/.308/.319 with a homer and two stolen bases across 28 games this season. Mike Yastrzemski is covering center field in his place.

Urias is not starting Game 1 of Thursday's doubleheader against the Reds.

Jace Peterson is starting at the keystone in place of Urias in this one. In 12 games since returning from the IL, Urias is slashing .268/.333/.341 with four RBI and four runs scored.

Frazier is not in the lineup for Game 1 of Thursday's doubleheader against the Cardinals.

Frazier has started the past five games, going 5-for-20 with a home run and four RBI during that stretch. In his absence, Kevin Newman is covering second base and hitting third.

Garcia went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Wednesday's loss to the Phillies.

The rookie swiped the first bag of his big-league career in the fourth inning. Garcia continues to find success since being added to the roster, hitting .333 (11-for-33) over his last nine games with a homer, a steal, three RBI and five runs.
