Arcia isn't in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Reds.

Arcia went 0-for-4 during Monday night's loss to Cincinnati in the series opener, so he'll head to the bench for a day off. Tyler Saladino, who has now clubbed a grand slam in back-to-back games, will draw the start at shortstop and hit eighth.

Rojas (shoulder) isn't in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the White Sox, Andre Fernandez of The Athletic reports.

Rojas was diagnosed with a right shoulder strain Saturday, and he hasn't taken the field since. He'll continue to be considered day-to-day until further notice. Yadiel Rivera draws the start at shortstop and will hit ninth in Rojas' absence.

Rojas (shoulder) remains out of the lineup Monday against the White Sox.

Rojas left Saturday's game against the Dodgers and did not start Sunday's contest, though he did appear off the bench. Yadiel Rivera remains the starter at shortstop in his absence. Rojas is expected to test his shoulder prior to Monday's clash and is hopeful to start a game within the next few days, per Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald.

Ahmed went 2-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in Sunday's 7-4 loss to the Brewers.

Ahmed has been on base regularly since the break, going 10-for-29 along with six walks. That's led to five RBI and five runs scored in nine games. He hasn't been a standout in any one aspect, like last season's 16 home runs, but he has been a modest contributor across the board from the shortstop position. Ahmed is slashing .269/.322/.428 with nine home runs, 44 RBI, six stolen bases and 51 runs scored.

Rojas (shoulder) is not in Sunday's lineup against the Dodgers, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.

Rojas exited Saturday's contest early and was diagnosed with a shoulder strain. It's unclear how long the injury will keep him out, though Yadiel Rivera is starting at shortstop and batting eighth in his place.

Edman will lead off and start at second base Sunday against the Reds.

Edman is starting for the sixth consecutive contest. He's hit well in that span, collecting at least one hit in four of the five games. Overall, he's managed a .275/.301/.513 line across 83 plate appearances this season.

Rojas was removed from Saturday's contest with a strained right shoulder, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

It was speculated that Rojas had exited the game due to an injury to his leg, but it was instead a shoulder injury. It's unclear how he suffered the injury or how long he will remain out of the lineup. Yadiel Rivera took over at shortstop in his place.

Rojas was removed from Saturday's contest against the Dodgers with potential injuries to his hand or leg, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

Rojas was banged up throughout the contest, with the first potential injury occurring to his hand after he reached down to the ground to steady himself while striking out in the first frame. In the fourth inning, he fouled a ball off his left leg before ultimately being removed in the fifth inning. There are no details as to the severity of either potential injury, and Yadiel Rivera replaced him at shortstop.

Edman went 3-for-4 with two doubles in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Reds.

Getting the start at third base and hitting leadoff, Edman did an excellent job setting the table but got no help from the rest of the St. Louis lineup -- the team managed only six hits in total, and none from the two through five hitters. The rookie is now slashing .275/.301/.513 through his first 29 big-league games.

Arcia is not in the lineup Saturday against Arizona.

Arcia owns an awful .272 OPS over his last nine games. Tyler Saladino, who owns an even worse .241 OPS in 19 games this season, starts in his place at shortstop.
