Lux went 2-for-4 with three RBI in Tuesday's victory over the Mets.

Lux provided a spark for the Dodgers on Tuesday as he knocked in Mookie Betts and Max Muncy with a base hit in the third inning to give the team the lead and then provided a much-needed insurance run with an RBI infield single in the seventh. The three-RBI effort was the youngster's first of the season and brings his season-long total to 42. Lux missed a few games recently due to a neck issue but has otherwise played regularly for manager Dave Roberts' squad and owns a healthy .296/.372/.434 slash line on the season.

Vargas exited during the middle of Triple-A Oklahoma City's game Tuesday and will be added to the major-league roster Thursday by the Dodgers when rosters expand to 28 players, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

The 22-year-old appeared in two games in his first taste of big-league action in early August, and he'll rejoin the Dodgers on Thursday when two extra roster spots become available. Vargas, who is Los Angeles' top prospect, has a .301/.398/.503 slash line with 16 home runs, 81 RBI and 15 stolen bases in 111 games at Triple-A this year.

Gonzalez is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Royals.

Gonzalez served as the White Sox's starting second baseman and leadoff man in each of the past three contests, going 2-for-12 with a double, a walk, a run and an RBI. Though normal table setter Luis Robert (wrist) remains out of the lineup, AJ Pollock will get a spin as the White Sox's leadoff man Tuesday, while Leury Garcia replaces Gonzalez in the infield.

Polanco (kneecap) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game versus Boston.

Polanco will sit for the third consecutive game since exiting Saturday's contest with left patellar tendinitis. Nick Gordon will receive another look at second base with Jake Cave starting in left field.

Albies (foot) will begin a rehab assignment Thursday with Triple-A Gwinnett, Gabe Burns of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

It was reported over the weekend that Albies was close to beginning a rehab stint, and an official date has now been set. It's not clear how many minor-league games he will play before rejoining the big club, but he figures to be back with Atlanta at some point in the first half of September.

Urias is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Pirates.

Urias has started regularly when healthy, but Jace Peterson appears to be the preferred option at third base at the moment, as he will man the hot corner Tuesday for the third day in a row.

Rengifo went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a win over the Yankees on Monday.

Rengifo opened the scoring with a solo shot off Frankie Montas in the second inning. The infielder also went deep Sunday, and he's now homered in consecutive contests twice over the past two weeks. Rengifo is slashing .252/.252/.477 with six homers and 17 RBI through 26 games in August.

Gorman is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Reds, according to Katie Woo of The Athletic.

Gorman's 4-for-29 (.138) stretch at the plate has coincided with Albert Pujols' hot streak, and the rookie will sit out in favor of the veteran for a second straight day. Gorman started seven straight games prior to the mini-break, so he has not lost a regular role just yet.

Haggerty (finger) isn't starting Tuesday's game in Detroit.

This will be Haggerty's fourth straight game on the bench as he recovers from a finger injury, though he's expected to rejoin the lineup Wednesday, per Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times. Mitch Haniger is the right fielder and Carlos Santana will serve as the designated hitter Tuesday.

Lowe (elbow) is not in the lineup Tuesday versus Miami.

Lowe, dealing with a bruised right elbow, should still be considered day-to-day leading up to Wednesday's game against the Marlins. Yu Chang is filling in as the second baseman Tuesday.
