Marte (back) will undergo an MRI on Wednesday and won't play in the Diamondbacks' series finale against the Marlins later in the day, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

Marte was pulled from Tuesday's 12-6 loss with what was described as back stiffness. The Diamondbacks are technically still in the hunt for a postseason berth, but the team faces long odds to come away with one of the National League's two wild-card spots. As such, the organization may not want to push a valuable asset like Marte, who has enjoyed a breakout campaign.

Rosario went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in the Mets' 6-1 victory over the Rockies on Tuesday.

The 23-year-old checked in with long ball No. 13 on the season with this sixth-inning, two-run blast off Tim Melville. Rosario's having an average season at the dish with a .289/.326/.430 slash line in 146 games, but it's an improvement on past years and he has managed to enhance his value with his contributions on the basepaths, logging 17 stolen bases in 25 attempts.

Biggio went 4-for-5, hitting for the cycle with four RBI, three runs and two steals in an 8-5 victory against the Orioles on Tuesday.

What an incredible game from Biggio. It was his fourth multi-hit performance in his last five games, but he also went deep and swiped two bases. This was also his first game with multiple RBI since Aug. 31. Biggio is now batting .230 with 14 home runs, 42 RBI, 58 runs and 13 steals in 313 at-bats this season.

Torres went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run and two runs in an 8-0 victory against the Angels on Tuesday.

The 22-year-old has displayed a ton of power all season long, but he already has five homers in September after hitting 13 in August. In fact, half of his home runs this season have come since July 24. Torres is batting .285 with 38 home runs, 90 RBI, 96 runs and five steals in 522 at-bats this season.

Marte left Tuesday's game against the Marlins in the fifth inning due to back stiffness, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

He went 2-for-2 with a double and a run prior to being replaced by Josh Rojas. This is not the first time Marte has dealt with back issues this season, so hopefully he is able to continue to manage the issue without being shut down before the end of the season.

X-rays on Rengifo's left hand were negative but it's unclear if he will be able to return before the end of the season, Maria Torres of the Los Angeles Times reports.

He will have a CT scan Wednesday to determine if the injury is severe, so apparently the negative returns on the X-rays may not mean much. Matt Thaiss and Taylor Ward could play more while Rengifo is out and David Fletcher should play almost every day at second base.

Rengifo left Tuesday's game against the Yankees with a left hand injury and will undergo an X-ray.

He left in the middle of an at-bat in the seventh inning and apparently suffered the injury on his final swing. Rengifo went 0-for-2 with two strikeouts before exiting and was replaced by Matt Thaiss.

Rengifo left Tuesday's game against the Yankees in the middle of an at-bat in the seventh inning with an apparent injury, Maria Torres of the Los Angeles Times reports.

He hurt himself on a swing and it was obviously serious enough that he needed to leave immediately. Rengifo was 0-for-2 with two strikeouts before leaving.

Lux isn't in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against Tampa Bay.

Lux will head to the bench with a lefty in Blake Snell slated to toe the rubber for the opposition. Max Muncy moves over to the keystone and will bat fifth.

Elmore had his contract selected from Triple-A Indianapolis prior to Tuesday's game against the Mariners, Rob Biertempfel of The Athletic reports.

Elmore slashed .322/.387/.455 with six homers, 35 RBI and three stolen bases over 109 games at Triple-A, and he'll now have a chance to finish off the 2019 campaign in the big leagues, likely in a bench role.
