Caba (thumb) is 8-for-26 with two doubles, four RBI and four runs scored in his last six games for Single-A Jupiter.

Caba got off to a tough start to begin July, going 3-for-20 at the dish through his first five appearances. However, he's managed to get back on track by collecting at least one base knock in five of his previous six matchups. Caba missed over two months of action earlier in the season while recovering from a left thumb sprain but has remained healthy since his return June 24.

Pena (ribs) is expected to face live pitching in the coming days, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Pena has already taken on-field batting practice as a part of his ramp-up in Florida, and he's now set to face real pitching "in the next few days," according to manager Joe Espada. The shortstop has been sidelined since late June while dealing with a small rib fracture, but facing live pitching is a substantial step towards returning to action.

Short (rib) will start at shortstop and bat ninth in Monday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Short was scratched from Sunday's lineup versus the Mariners with rib soreness, but he's feeling well enough to play a day later. With Short handling shortstop Monday, Mauricio Dubon will slide over to third base for the Astros.

Betts is starting at shortstop and batting leadoff Monday against the Twins.

Betts was placed in the leadoff spot for the first time since June of last season on Sunday against the Brewers and went 1-for-5 with one run scored. Manager Dave Roberts is sticking with Betts atop the order, as the reeling Dodgers look for something to jumpstart the offense. With Betts in the top spot, Shohei Ohtani is again batting second. Betts has underwhelmed during his age-32 campaign, slashing .240/.310/.374 with 11 home runs, 45 RBI, 57 runs scored, six stolen bases and a 36:45 BB:K across 400 plate appearances.

Bichette went 2-for-4 with two doubles, a run scored and two RBI in Sunday's win over the Giants.

Neto went 2-for-6 with one RBI, three runs scored and a stolen base in Sunday's 8-2 win over the Phillies.

The shortstop is riding an eight-game hitting streak while hitting safely in 11 of his past 12 contests overall, with the latter stretch including six extra-base hits, five RBI, 16 runs scored and four steals. For the season, he's slashing .281/.328/.488 with 15 home runs, 35 RBI, 65 runs scored and 18 stolen bases across 344 plate appearances.

Bogaerts went 2-for-4 with a grand slam and a walk in Sunday's 8-1 win over the Nationals.

Bogaerts got the scoring started early with a grand slam off MacKenzie Gore in the first inning, marking his first long ball since June 29. The 32-year-old has now hit safely in nine of his past 11 games, tallying five multi-hit efforts along with five runs scored, five RBI and three steals during that stretch. For the year, he's slashing .267/.344/.378 with six home runs, 35 RBI, 41 runs scored and 16 stolen bases across 393 plate appearances.

Perdomo went 1-for-4 with an RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 5-3 win over St. Louis.

Perdomo reached on a fielder's choice that plated the game's first run. He then stole a base before trotting in on Eugenio Suarez's three-run home run. Perdomo is rolling this month and entered the game with a .327/.464/.455 slash line and 13 RBI over the previous 15 games. He's up to a career-high 72 RBI (tied for ninth in MLB) through 99 games, and he's one theft shy of his career-high 16 steals set across 144 games in 2023.

Short was scratched from the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners due to rib soreness, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Short was hit by a pitch during Saturday's contest and will be withheld from Sunday's starting nine after initially being penciled in at shortstop. Mauricio Dubon will cover shortstop for Houston while Shay Whitcomb starts at third base.
