Kemp went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in a 4-1 win against Seattle on Tuesday.

Kemp got to Seattle starter Luis Castillo twice with a single in the third inning and go-ahead three-run home run in the fifth. The impressive performance continues a stellar September for the 30-year-old, who's slashing .321/.387/.571 with three long balls in 15 contests.

Garcia went 1-for-5 with an RBI single and a stolen base in Tuesday's loss to Atlanta.

Garcia went hitless in his first four at-bats before ripping an RBI single off Kenley Jansen in the top of the ninth and stealing second base. The swipe was his third of the season and first since Aug. 26. Garcia is the middle of a tough stretch at the plate, batting .185 with 14 strikeouts over 54 at-bats in his last 13 games.

Rojas isn't in the lineup for Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Dodgers.

Rojas will take a seat in Game 2 as the lefty Tyler Anderson will start for Los Angeles. Emmanuel Rivera will take over as the D-backs' third baseman and bat fifth.

Frazier is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the A's.

Frazier started the past seven games and will head to the bench after he posted a .523 OPS during that stretch. Dylan Moore will start at the keystone Tuesday as southpaw JP Sears takes the mound for Oakland.

Rockies manager Bud Black said the results on Rodgers' (hamstring) MRI were "good," Patrick Lyons of TheDNVR.com reports.

After being removed from Sunday's victory over the Cubs with a hamstring injury, Rodgers' MRI results confirm Black's earlier comments saying he didn't believe the injury to be significant. Rodgers is officially listed as day-to-day.

Rodgers (hamstring) is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Giants.

The results of the MRI performed on Rodgers' injured hamstring have not yet been announced, but he will be held out for at least one more day. Ryan McMahon will man second base for the Rockies on Tuesday.

Rays manager Kevin Cash said that Lowe (back) received an injection Tuesday and will be shut down for the next two days, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

Cash also said that if all goes well following the injection, the hope is that Lowe can return before the end of the regular season. Lowe hasn't played since Sept. 11 and is eligible to return from the 10-day injured list Thursday.

Lopez isn't in the starting lineup Tuesday against Minnesota, Joel Goldberg of Bally Sports Kansas City reports.

Lopez has now missed three consecutive starts in the Royals' infield, sitting each time in favor of rookie Nate Eaton. He appears to have lost hold of his everyday role to Eaton, who will start the game at third base and bat ninth.

Hoerner (triceps) is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Marlins.

Hoerner remains on the Cubs' roster, but he also remains unavailable for a full nine innings. It remains to be seen if he will be ready to return for Wednesday's series finale.

Arroyo is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Reds.

It's noteworthy that Arroyo is not starting against a lefty (Nick Lodolo), even with Trevor Story (heel) still missing in action. Enrique Hernandez is starting at the keystone while Rob Refsnyder gets the nod in center field.
