Schwarber was removed from Tuesday's game against the Rays due to left elbow discomfort, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Schwarber appeared to injure his elbow while diving back to first base on a pickoff attempt in the third inning, and he was later pinch hit for in the fourth. The severity of his injury remains unknown, and he should be considered day-to-day for the time being.

Glasnow (elbow) will face hitters in a simulated game over the weekend, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Glasnow reportedly felt good coming out of his bullpen session Tuesday, and he's now been given the green light to throw 2-to-3 simulated innings against live hitters. Assuming everything goes smoothly this weekend, the 31-year-old righty will likely rejoin Los Angeles' rotation sometime next week and build up his workload while pitching in big-league games.

Lopez (undisclosed) exited Tuesday's start against the Nationals after one inning, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Lopez pitched a scoreless first inning before meeting with manager Brian Snitker, pitching coach Rick Kranitz and a trainer. Lopez's velocity was down a couple notches in the frame and he was ultimately removed from the contest. It's unclear what the right-hander is dealing with, but more information on his status will likely be provided in the near future. In the meantime, Jesse Chavez replaced him on the mound against Washington.

Ray (hamstring) is scheduled to throw 50-to-60 pitches in a bullpen session Wednesday, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

The left-hander threw two- and three-inning simulated games Wednesday and Saturday, respectively, and he'll continue building up his workload with a bullpen session. Ray landed on the shelf Aug. 27 due to the hamstring strain, and he appears to be closing in on his return to San Francisco's rotation.

Hoskins is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Giants.

Tuesday's game is the third one since Aug. 27 that Hoskins is not in the starting lineup for, but he's appeared in every game since then and recorded at least three plate appearances in each. Sal Frelick is in right field and batting sixth as Hoskins' replacement, while Jake Bauers hits fourth and slides into Hoskins' spot at first base.

McCoy is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mariners.

Since returning to the majors Aug. 21, McCoy has started in 16 games, and Tuesday marks the shortstop's third omission from the lineup in that span. Xander Bogaerts is shifting from second to shortstop with Jake Cronenworth sliding over from first to second base. Donovan Solano enters the lineup for McCoy as the first baseman, batting eighth.

Lux isn't in the Dodgers' lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Cubs, Kirsten Watson of Spectrum SportsNet LA reports.

The lefty-hitting Lux will grab a seat on the bench Tuesday as southpaw Shota Imanaga toes the slab for Chicago. Enrique Hernandez will fill the void at second base and bat eighth while Lux rests.

Smith isn't in the Dodgers' lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cubs, Kirsten Watson of Spectrum SportsNet LA reports.

Smith will get a chance to regroup Tuesday after going 0-for-5 with two strikeouts in Monday's series opener. Austin Barnes will replace him behind the plate and bat ninth.

Hernandez (ankle) isn't in the Dodgers' lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cubs, Kirsten Watson of Spectrum SportsNet LA reports.

Manager Dave Roberts said previously that he expected Hernandez to be back in the starting lineup by Tuesday, but the 31-year-old outfielder will instead miss his fourth consecutive start since getting hit by a pitch in Friday's game. The Dodgers have yet to indicate that he will need to spend time on the injured list, though that could change if he doesn't return to the starting nine within the next few days. In the meantime, Andy Pages will get the starting nod in left field and bat fifth.

Wisely is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Brewers.

Wisely will begin the game on the bench for the second consecutive day. Since the start of September, the second baseman has just one hit and two walks in 14 plate appearances across the five games he has played in. Marco Luciano is starting at second base and batting ninth Tuesday as he sees his playing time expand.
