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.

Trejo went 2-for-5 with an RBI on Monday against the Giants.

Trejo singled in a run in the second inning and managed to record his first multi-hit game since Sept. 9. Despite the slow stretch, he's hit .308 with two home runs, seven RBI and five runs scored since taking over as Colorado's primary shortstop Sept. 4. Jose Iglesias (thumb) hasn't made much reported progress toward a return, so Trejo should continue to see regular playing time in the short term.

Estrada went 3-for-6 with a three-run home run and a double in Monday's 10-7 extra-inning win over Colorado.

Estrada propelled San Francisco to victory with his three-run shot in the 10th inning. The long ball was his 14th of the season and third in September. Estrada has become a viable fantasy asset for the first time this season, complementing his modest homer total with 19 stolen bases and a respectable .266/.326/.416 slash line over 495 plate appearances.

Altuve went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run in Monday's 4-0 defeat of the Rays.

Altuve took Drew Rasmussen deep to left field in the first inning for his 11th leadoff homer of the campaign. That ranks as the most leadoff home runs in the league this season and is two short of the MLB record for a single campaign. Altuve is up to 25 long balls this year, marking the third time in four seasons that he has reached that mark (with the exception being the severely shortened 2020 campaign).

Rosario went 2-for-4 with a home run, a walk, three RBI, three runs scored and two stolen bases in Monday's 11-4 win over Minnesota.

Rosario's name was all over Monday's box score, capped off by his three-run shot in the sixth inning. He also swiped second base in both the fourth and eighth frames. Over his last 12 games, Rosario has gone 19-for-56 (.339) with 15 RBI. He's improved his season slash line to .283/.314/.407 with 11 home runs, 16 stolen bases and 79 runs scored.
