Marte exited Tuesday's game against the Giants after limping around the bases on a solo home run, Richard Morin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Marte crushed a solo homer 437 feet to right-center field during the fifth inning, but he struggled to make it around the bases and subsequently left the contest. The specifics of the injury remain unclear, but the 25-year-old will have Wednesday's scheduled off day to recover before potentially missing additional time.

Dubon will be recalled from Triple-A Sacramento ahead of Tuesday's game against the Diamondbacks, Robert Murray of The Athletic reports.

Dubon has been hitting the ball well at Triple-A, slashing .323/.391/.485 with four homers and nine RBI over 23 contests. He'll likely see time in the middle infield, at least against left-handed pitching.

Hernandez went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a pair of walks in Monday's loss to San Diego.

Hernandez gave the Dodgers a short-lived lead in the sixth inning with a 425-foot blast to left field. The long ball was his first since being activated from the injured list Aug. 20, though he has batted .333 (6-for-18) with two doubles since his return. Overall, Hernandez is slashing .243/.316/.442 with 17 homers and 55 RBI this season.

Lux could be added to the Dodgers' active roster in September, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

Previous reports indicated that the organization was considering bringing up Lux in a "ride-along" role in which he would participate in team activities but not be eligible to play in games. That stance may be changing, however, with the 21-year-old continuing to rake at the Triple-A level, posting a .407/.493/.747 slash line with 12 homers and 38 RBI in 44 games with Oklahoma City. Although the recent returns of Chris Taylor and Kike Hernandez from the injured list would seem to make even fewer at-bats available for Lux, the positional flexibility of both major-league veterans -- and the Dodgers' massive lead in their division -- could allow the team to work their top prospect into the lineup down the stretch.

Hernandez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

Since returning from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Hernandez had started in four of the Dodgers' last five games, going 5-for-15 with two doubles and two RBI. He'll cede his spot in the lineup for the series finale to Matt Beaty, who draws a start at first base.

Rojas started in left field and went 0-for-3 in Saturday's 4-0 loss to the Brewers.

The Diamondbacks placed David Peralta (shoulder) on the injured list Saturday, so Rojas took over in left field against Milwaukee right-hander Chase Anderson. After an initial burst of activity upon his addition to Arizona's roster, Rojas is mired in a 2-for-21 (.095) slide, dropping his average to .200 over 11 games. He and the recently called up Tim Locastro should platoon in left field going forward.

Albies went 1-for-4 with a walk and a solo home run in Saturday's 9-5 win over the Mets.

The 22-year-old hadn't gone deep since Aug. 9, and Albies hit only .160 (8-for-50) during his 12-game power outage. On the year, the second baseman is slashing .287/.342/.486 with 19 homers, 13 steals, 69 RBI and 81 runs through 130 games.

McNeil (hamstring) will play at second and third base as well as the outfield, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

McNeil was activated prior to Saturday's contest but is not in the starting lineup. However, he will almost certainly play every day moving forward, though the position could change frequently. Manager Mickey Callaway also said he wasn't sure where he'd bat McNeil, though he has led off for the majority of the season.

McNeil (hamstring) will be active for Saturday's game against the Braves, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

While McNeil is not in the lineup Saturday, he will be available off the bench. Aaron Altherr was designated for assignment to clear room on the roster. One of nine qualified hitters with an OBP of .400 or better, McNeil should be atop the order close to every day down the stretch.

McNeil (hamstring) is with the team at Citi Field, but the Mets still haven't decided whether to activate him Saturday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

McNeil is not in the lineup, so if he is activated Saturday, he will be on the bench for his first game back on the active roster. The 27-year-old recently made a brief stop at short-season Brooklyn, going 1-for-4 while playing seven innings in the field during his lone rehab appearance. He should be back leading off for the Mets in short order.
