Trejo will start at shortstop and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Brewers, Patrick Lyons of TheDNVR.com reports.

Trejo looks as though he'll get a look as Colorado's everyday shortstop after Jose Iglesias (hand) was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday. The 26-year-old will pick up his fourth consecutive start at the position after going 4-for-9 with a double, a walk, an RBI and a run over the previous three contests.

Kemp will sit Wednesday versus Atlanta.

Kemp will get a breather after he went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk and two runs scored in Tuesday's 10-9 loss. Jonah Bride will replace him at second base and bat sixth in the series finale.

Mathias went 0-for-2 with two walks, a stolen base and a run scored in Tuesday's 4-3 win over Houston.

Mathias started at designated hitter with a lefty on the mound. He's getting about three starts per week, primarily at DH and mostly against southpaws. Lefties Kole Calhoun and Brad Miller (hip) typically handle DH chores against righties. Mathias has taken five walks in the last five games after not getting a free pass in his first six with the Rangers.

Rojas went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 6-5 loss to the Padres.

Rojas got his contribution out of the way quickly, taking Joe Musgrove's first pitch of the game deep to left field for a leadoff homer. This ended a 20-game homer drought for Rojas, who hit .276 with five doubles, 10 RBI and 11 runs scored in that span. The 28-year-old has been fairly steady this year with a .275/.354/.401 slash line, eight long balls, 19 stolen bases, 46 RBI and 58 runs scored through 103 games.

Kim went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 6-5 win over the Diamondbacks.

Kim entered Tuesday with no extra-base hits or RBI in his last nine contests. He changed that with a fifth-inning solo shot, his eighth homer of the season and his second since the start of August. The shortstop continues to do alright in a starting role, with a .256/.329/.382 slash line, 50 RBI, 49 runs scored and nine stolen bases through 126 contests.

Haggerty recorded a walk, a stolen base and a run in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the White Sox.

Haggerty's seen his playing time dry up lately, though he's now appeared off the bench in five straight games. He entered as a defensive replacement Tuesday and was productive in his lone plate appearance in the eighth inning. The outfielder has maintained a .297/.355/.469 slash line with 11 steals, four home runs, 15 RBI and 24 runs scored through 142 plate appearances. Despite his success, he's behind Jesse Winker and Mitch Haniger for playing time in the corner outfield positions.

Altuve went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a stolen base in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers.

Altuve showed off his speed and his power Tuesday as he hit a solo home run in the third inning and stole second base after reaching via the walk in the ninth inning. The homer, Altuve's 24th on the season, extended his lead among second basemen. The stolen base was his 15th on the season and gives him an outside shot to record his first 20/20 season since 2017.

Gorman went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a double, two RBI and one run scored in Tuesday's win over the Nationals.

Gorman broke out of a 1-for-15 slump in a big way Tuesday, as he accounted for three of the Cardinals' four runs with an RBI double and a solo shot. The double was Gorman's first extra-base hit since Aug. 26, and the homer his first long ball since Aug. 11. After losing playing time recently, particularly against southpaws, Gorman will need to keep hitting if he is to earn regular at-bats.

Donovan went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 4-1 win over Washington.

The rookie got St. Louis on the board with a leadoff home run in the bottom of the fourth inning, his third of the season. The solo shot ends a 143 at-bat stretch without hitting a home run, during which he had only three total extra-base hits. Donovan is still getting on base at a healthy .391 clip on the season, but he may lose playing time here and there if he cannot continue hitting the ball with more authority.

Hoerner went 2-for-3 with a triple, a walk, a hit-by-pitch, three runs scored and a stolen base in a 9-3 win Tuesday over Cincinnati.

Hoerner reached safely in his last four plate appearances, scoring three of Chicago's nine runs. He's now 17-for-19 in stolen base attempts and is 8-for-9 since the All-Star break. The big night ended a 1-for-23 slump and the two hits were his first knocks of September. Including Tuesday, the 25-year-old has produced a .169/.234/.254 slash line since Aug. 17.
