    • Willson Contreras optimistic on earlier return
      Willson Contreras (fractured forearm) has already had his cast removed.

      Advice: The exact date is uncertain, but Contreras has been cast-less since at least last Friday, May 17. It may have been as early as May 11. “I’m really happy with how the process is going and how well I’m recovering,” Contreras said late last week. “The way I feel, I could say, it’s not going to be (until) the All-Star break. It could be earlier than that. I’m not going to say something that is going to get above the doctors’ opinion, but if you’re asking me how I’m feeling, I’m feeling great.” The Cardinals have yet to comment on Contreras potentially beating his All-Star week return projection, but it is now definitely within the realm of possibility.

    • Sitting again Tuesday
      Polanco (hamstring) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees.

      Advice: Polanco hasn't taken the field since May 13, but he's close to returning after being available off the bench Monday. While it hasn't been confirmed he'll be available Tuesday, that should be the expectation considering his status Monday. Dylan Moore will draw a start at second base and bat ninth.

    • J.P. Crawford returns to M’s lineup on Tuesday
      J.P. Crawford is leading off on Tuesday against the Yankees.

      Advice: Crawford is back at shortstop and leading off on Tuesday night at Yankee Stadium after sitting out Monday’s series opener following his activation for the injured list. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:08 pm
       
    • Jorge Polanco (hamstring) not in Tuesday’s lineup
      Jorge Polanco (hamstring) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Yankees.

      Advice: Polanco was available off the bench for Monday’s series opener in New York, so it stands to reason that he’s healthy enough to avoid a potential trip to the injured list. The 30-year-old second baseman has been out of the lineup for seven straight contests now due to right hamstring tightness. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:07 pm
       
    • Idle Tuesday
      Diaz is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox.

      Advice: The 32-year-old will yield to Jonathan Aranda at first base Tuesday, giving Diaz his first day off after playing 10 straight games. During that stretch, Diaz is batting .341 with a pair of homers. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:57 am
       
    • In-game replacement in IL return
      Crawford (oblique), activated from the injured list earlier in the day, entered Monday's win over the Yankees as a pinch hitter in the eighth inning and remained in the game at shortstop, going 0-for-2.

      Advice: Crawford struck out swinging in his pinch-hit appearance and subsequently flied out to center to close out the ninth. The veteran shortstop was logging his first game action since April 23, and given his in-game appearance and ability to play defense Monday, he's a likely candidate to return to the starting nine Tuesday.

    • Homers in each game of twin bill
      Ozuna went 3-for-7 with two solo homers, an additional run, a double and a walk across both games of Monday's doubleheader versus the Padres.

      Advice: Ozuna came into Monday without a homer over his past eight contests, but he snapped that drought with a solo shot in each game of the doubleheader. The slugger simultaneously extended his hitting streak to 13 games, during which he's batting an even .400 with five long balls, three doubles and 11 RBI. Ozuna ranks third in MLB with 14 homers on the campaign. Rotowire.com Monday, 11:13 pm
       
    • Ozuna homers again in nightcap
      Marcell Ozuna went 2-for-3 with a double, a home run, a walk and two runs scored against the Padres on Wednesday.



      Advice: Ozuna continues his monster season with his 14th home run of the year in the second game of the doubleheader. Only Gunnar Henderson and Kyle Tucker have more home runs this year. Ozuna hit 40 home runs last year and didn’t hit his 14th home run last year until June 22nd. His average is up to .327 and he has a 1.047 OPS this year.

    • J.P. Crawford (oblique) activated by Mariners
      Mariners activated SS J.P. Crawford from the 10-day injured list.

      Advice: Crawford’s pregame workout today was impressive enough to get him back on the roster tonight after his absence due to an oblique strain and a subsequent bruised hand, but he won’t return to the starting lineup until tomorrow. Dylan Moore will return to his utility role then after spending the last 3 1/2 weeks as a starting shortstop. Rotoworld Monday, 3:47 pm
