Rojas is out of the Dodgers' starting lineup Tuesday due to a mild left groin injury, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Rojas said he tweaked something in his groin while attempting to start a double play Sunday, but he believes he could return to action as early as Thursday following the Dodgers' off day Wednesday. Chris Taylor is playing shortstop and Mookie Betts is handling second base Tuesday night against the Rockies.

Reds manager David Bell said Barrero (hamstring) is available off the bench Tuesday, Charlie Goldsmith of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Barrero is not in the starting lineup after tweaking his right hamstring Monday, but it's only a minor issue. Kevin Newman will cover shortstop against the Cubs.

The Marlins placed Wendle on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a right intercostal strain, Craig Mish of the Miami Herald reports.

Wendle was scratched from the Marlins' lineup Monday because of the injury and can now probably be ruled out through at least mid-April. Jon Berti figures to handle the bulk of starts at shortstop in the meantime and offers excellent speed to go along with his increase in playing time. Wendle was 0-for-8 with one walk and two strikeouts through four games played this year.

Berti is starting at shortstop and batting ninth Tuesday against the Twins.

Berti is getting his second straight start at the position while Joey Wendle battles an intercostal strain that resulted in him being placed on the 10-day injured list. With his great speed, Berti should see a significant boost in fantasy value now that he appears set to play regularly in the middle infield. He racked up a major-league-best 41 steals in 102 games last season.

Wendle (oblique) is not in the Marlins' starting lineup Tuesday against the Twins.

Wendle was scratched Monday due to oblique soreness and could be looking at an IL stint if the issue lingers any longer. Jon Berti will start at shortstop and bat ninth Tuesday night against the Twins and right-hander Kenta Maeda.

Barrero (hamstring) is not in the Reds' lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cubs.

Barrero tweaked his right hamstring during Monday's game. While the injury is considered minor, it wouldn't be a surprise to see the Reds afford him some time off. Kevin Newman is at shortstop Tuesday.

Ahmed is not in the Diamondbacks' starting lineup Tuesday versus the Padres.

Geraldo Perdomo will take a turn at shortstop and bat eighth against the Padres and right-hander Yu Darvish. Ahmed is 4-for-12 (.333) with one double and one RBI through four games played this season.

Barrero (hamstring) should be available Tuesday against the Cubs, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

Barrero picked up the minor injury while running to first base on a a single in the second inning. He is splitting time with Kevin Newman at shortstop and picked up his first start of the season in center field Monday before exiting with the injury.

Barrero left Monday's game against the Cubs with right hamstring tightness, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

Generally a part-time player, Barrero's hamstring injury could allow for Kevin Newman to see everyday starts at shortstop while TJ Friedl handles the bulk of the work in center field. It sounds like Barrero is day-to-day for now.

Barrero left Monday's game against the Cubs with an apparent injury, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

Barrero appeared to suffer the injury while picking up a single in the second inning. The right-handed hitter has been replaced by Jason Vosler.
