Kim (shoulder) is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Twins, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

Kim had to depart Sunday's game versus the Rockies with a jammed right shoulder and was set to undergo an MRI. The results of those tests are not yet known, but he will miss at least one start and possibly more. Tyler Wade is subbing in at shortstop for the series opener against the Twins.

Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Monday that he expects Bichette (calf) to begin running in 2-to-3 days, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

Bichette recently resumed hitting and fielding drills at the Blue Jays' spring training complex in Florida and is almost ready to take another big step when he starts up a running program. If he shows he can run without issue, a rehab assignment would figure to be around the corner. Bichette has been shelved since late July with a moderate right calf strain.

Hamilton is out of the lineup for Monday's game against Houston.

Hamilton will dodge a same-hand matchup with lefty Yusei Kikuchi on Monday. In his place, Romy Gonzalez will play second base and bat fifth.

Jimenez (knee) is out of the lineup Monday against Cincinnati.

Jimenez tweaked his knee during Saturday's game and will be idle for a second straight contest. Ernie Clement will bat seventh and play shortstop Monday.

Rojas went 3-for-4 with an RBI in a 2-1 victory versus the Cardinals on Sunday.

Rojas notched one of two three-hit performances for Los Angeles, and his fifth-inning RBI single provided what turned out to be the winning run for the team. The veteran shortstop has a 10-game hitting streak going during which he's slashing .371/.405/.429 with five RBI and a pair of stolen bases. Though his fantasy appeal is limited by a lack of power, Rojas has been a steady bat for Los Angeles throughout the year, as he's hitting .286 through 244 plate appearances while adding excellent defense.

Wilson (hamstring) started at shortstop and played five innings in Triple-A Las Vegas' loss to Oklahoma City on Sunday, going 0-for-2 with a hit-by-pitch.

The main takeaway from Wilson's second rehab game was his ability to suit up on consecutive days and play defense for the first time. The rookie infielder may get at least one game off with the Aviators before potentially upping his defensive workload in his next appearance with the affiliate.

Rivas went 2-for-4 with an RBI single, a walk and two runs in a win over the Pirates on Sunday.

Rivas once again provided useful contributions out of the bottom of the order, and he maximized both of his trips on the basepaths by eventually crossing the plate each time. The rookie infielder, who continues to see regular playing time at shortstop in the absence of J.P. Crawford (finger), has reached safely in six of his last seven games, a span in which he owns a .400 OBP thanks in part to a 15.4 percent walk rate.

Perdomo batted leadoff and went 2-for-5 with a walk in Sunday's 8-7 extra-innings loss to Tampa Bay.

Perdomo was moved into the leadoff spot for the third time in the last seven games. Sunday's start was against a right-hander while the previous two were against lefties. Corbin Carroll, who has been the primary leadoff batter against right-handers, slotted at second in the order. The batting order adjustments appear to be related to the ongoing ankle issues that Ketel Marte is experiencing. He aggravated the injury Sunday during a pinch hitting appearance after returning Saturday as a DH.

Newman started at second base and went 1-for-5 with a run scored in Sunday's 8-7 extra-innings loss to the Rays.

Newman remained at second base in place of Ketel Marte, who was held out of the starting lineup then aggravated an ankle injury during a pinch hitting appearance. Marte had returned to the lineup as the DH for Saturday's contest with the intent to bring him back slowly. If the Diamondbacks choose to place Marte on the 10-day injured list, Newman would be part of the crew that helps fill the void at second base. Blaze Alexander is also an option.

Henderson went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Red Sox.

Henderson's sixth-inning homer gave the Orioles their margin of victory. The shortstop has gone deep four times over his last five games, adding eight RBI in that span. For the season, Henderson is slashing .288/.374/.562 with 33 homers, 77 RBI, 98 runs scored and 14 stolen bases over 123 contests. He should continue to be heavily involved in run production from the No. 3 spot in Baltimore's order.
