Frazier isn't in the lineup for the second game of Friday's doubleheader against the Cardinals.

Frazier went 0-for-1 with three walks and two runs during the first game of the doubleheader, but he'll take a seat for the nightcap. Bryan Reynolds will shift to left field with Jason Martin starting in center.

Marte (wriste) will take batting practice Saturday and has a shot to return during the final week of the season, Zach Buchanan of The Athletic reports.

Marte's required 10 days on the injured list with left wrist inflammation elapsed Friday, though it looks like he still needs a few more days to heal. When exactly the Diamondbacks expect to activate him remains unclear.

Guillorme was optioned to the Mets' alternate training site Friday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Guillorme hasn't done anything wrong in his limited opportunities this season, hitting .347/.431/.429 in 58 plate appearances, though his .459 BABIP suggests he benefitted from quite a bit of good fortune. While his performances don't merit a demotion, the Mets simply didn't need an extra infielder at the moment, so he's the roster casualty as Franklyn Kilome (finger) returns from the injured list.

Gimenez will sit Friday against the Braves.

Gimenez has emerged to occupy the large half of a platoon at shortstop this season. With lefty Max Fried starting Friday, Amed Rosario gets the nod in his place.

Rojas is not in the lineup Thursday against the Angels.

Rojas started the last three games and will head to the bench after going 1-for-12 with two runs and three walks. Josh VanMeter will receive the start at the keystone in his place.

The Brewers outrighted Rodriguez to their alternate training site Wednesday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Rodriguez went unclaimed off waivers after being designated for assignment by the Brewers earlier this week. He'll report to the Brewers' alternate training site in Appleton and remain on hand as organizational infield depth.

Urias is not in the lineup for the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Cardinals.

Urias sits for the second game in a row, though he could return to the lineup for the nightcap. Jace Peterson remains the starter at third base for the afternoon contest.

Garcia went 2-for-4 in Tuesday's 6-1 loss to the Rays.

The 20-year-old continues to string together hits, although at this stage of his career they're mostly singles. Garcia is slashing .325/.341/.375 through 12 games in September with three RBI and four runs.

Marte (wrist) hit off a tee for the first time since being placed on the injured list, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.

Arizona manager Torey Lovullo is optimistic Marte will return before the end of the season, although the Diamondbacks have just 11 games left. The organization must decide whether or not it's worth having Marte return to play regularly instead of evaluating its prospects during a season going nowhere.

Lux is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Padres, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

Lux sits for the fourth time in the last five games. Two of those have come against righties like Tuesday's starter, Zach Davies. With a .163/.250/.349 slash line on the season, it wouldn't be a surprise if his role remains somewhat marginal, though those numbers have come in a small sample of just 12 games. Chris Taylor will be the second baseman Tuesday.
