Rodgers (concussion/nose) was removed from his rehab assignment with Triple-A Sugar Land due to lumbar spine inflammation, MLB.com reports.

Rodgers was originally placed on the injured list June 18 due to an oblique strain, but he appeared to have made a full recovery from that injury, only to be pulled off a rehab assignment shortly after the All-Star break when he sustained a concussion and fractured nose during an on-field collision. He made enough progress from the two injuries to resume a rehab assignment with Sugar Land on Friday, only to succumb to yet another injury. Rodgers is without a timeline to return to action in the minors.

Albies went 3-for-5 with a double, two home runs and four RBI in Tuesday's 11-2 win over the Marlins.

The second baseman gave Atlanta a 2-1 lead in the fourth inning with a solo shot off Sandy Alcantara, and then helped power a nine-run eruption in the ninth by taking Josh Simpson deep for a three-run blast. It was Albies' first multi-homer performance since April 2023, but his bat has come to life in August -- over the last 16 games, he's slashing .294/.304/.500 with five doubles, three home runs, one steal, 10 runs and 10 RBI.

Hamilton went 2-for-3 with a double, a home run and three RBI in Tuesday's 5-0 win over the Orioles.

Hamilton's having a productive run since his recall from Triple-A Worcester last week. He's gone 6-for-15 with three extra-base hits, two walks, one steal, three RBI and five runs scored over four games. Hamilton started four of the last six games at second base, all against right-handed pitching. He should maintain a semi-regular role while Wilyer Abreu (calf) remains sidelined. Abreu's injury has resulted in Ceddanne Rafaela getting more time in the outfield than at second base.

Gonzales is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game in St. Louis.

It's a routine day off for Gonzales, who will take a modest nine-game hitting streak to the bench. Liover Peguero is covering second base and batting eighth for the Pirates.

The Astros optioned Matthews to Triple-A Sugar Land on Tuesday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Matthews was recalled last week but did not make an appearance during this most recent stint in the majors. He's clearing out to make room on the active roster for the return of Yordan Alvarez (hand).

Julien will start at first base and bat fifth in Tuesday's game versus the Blue Jays.

He'll pick up his third straight start at first base and will man the position for the fourth time in five contests. The 26-year-old is slashing just .186/.222/.279 this month, but the Twins might want to give Julien a long look at first base while Kody Clemens settles into more of a utility role.

Clemens is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's contest in Toronto.

Clemens is slashing only .192/.241/.321 in August and looks to be sliding back into more of a utility role, with Edouard Julien emerging as the primary first baseman against right-handers. The 29-year-old Clemens has been out of the lineup twice over the last five games, and in his three starts over that span he has played three different positions.

Chisholm went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run, an additional run and a walk in a 10-5 win against Washington on Monday.

Chisholm hit one of three Yankees homers in the victory, slugging a two-run shot to right field in the fifth inning. The veteran infielder has gone deep three times and driven in six runs over his past two contests. That's a continuation of a recent power (and speed) surge by Chisholm -- over his past 21 games, he's slugged seven homers and stolen eight bags while recording 16 runs and 15 RBI.

McNeil went 2-for-4 with three RBI in Monday's win over the Phillies.

Getting the start at second base before sliding out to right field, McNeil tied the game at 3-3 with an RBI single in the fourth inning before driving in a couple more runs late in the contest as the Mets poured on the offense in an eventual 13-3 rout. It's the fourth time in his last six games that McNeil has racked up multiple RBI, and through 21 contests in August he's slashing .300/.352/.487 with six doubles, three homers, 12 runs and 15 RBI.

Torres went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Monday's 8-3 loss to the Athletics.

Torres opened the scoring with a solo shot in the sixth inning. The second baseman hadn't homered since Aug. 2 versus the Phillies, though he had gone a decent 7-for-26 (.269) over his previous seven games before his long ball Monday. Torres is up to a .262/.363/.405 slash line, 14 homers, 61 RBI, 67 runs scored, 19 doubles and four stolen bases over 117 contests this season.
